There will be Blood (2007) 🎬
Daniel Plainview isn’t just a greedy man - he’s a man who becomes consumed by winning.
The interesting thing about There Will Be Blood is that Daniel Plainview starts with ambition, but as the story progresses, ambition turns into obsession. He doesn’t seem satisfied with simply becoming wealthy. He wants to be more powerful than the people around him, and he especially hates the idea of anyone having influence over him.
His relationship with Eli Sunday makes this even more interesting. They are completely different men, but they actually have something important in common: both want power, recognition, and control. One uses oil, the other uses religion.
And Daniel’s relationship with H.W. is another part worth discussing. H.W. is probably the closest thing Daniel has to family, but even that relationship becomes complicated because Daniel’s obsession with his business often comes before everything else.
Unpopular opinion🔥: Keller Dover was wrong, but I honestly understand why he did what he did.
Prisoners (2013) is one of those movies that doesn’t just ask you to follow the story. It puts you in an uncomfortable position and makes you question what you would actually do if you were in that situation.
The movie follows Keller Dover, played by Hugh Jackman, whose six-year-old daughter Anna disappears along with her friend Joy during Thanksgiving. The police quickly focus on Alex Jones, a strange young man who was seen around the neighborhood in an RV. Detective Loki, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, arrests him, but there’s simply not enough evidence to keep him.
That’s where everything changes.
Keller becomes convinced that Alex knows something about the girls. When the police release him, Keller stops believing that the system is going to save his daughter and decides to take matters into his own hands. He kidnaps Alex and keeps him hidden, hoping he can force him to reveal where the girls are.
And this is where the movie becomes really difficult to watch. 🎬🎬⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Social Network (2010) 🎬🍿
Before Facebook became one of the biggest platforms in the world, it started with a college student, an idea, and a few lines of code
And the man behind this whole idea and masterpiece name is (Mark Zuckerberg)
In 2003, Mark Zuckerberg was a Harvard student who wasn’t exactly known for being the most social person on campus. But he was extremely good at something else—coding.
That’s the story The Social Network decided to put on the big screen. 🎬 by letting us know more about how one started a journey others would never think of starting, he started and already sited the finishing line, he is a legend to begin with.
The Social Network is a dramatized version of real events, so when you tell the story, we should separate what actually happened from what the movie dramatized 🎬🍿🏌️♂️
One thing I really love about Heath Ledger’s Joker is that he never felt like he was trying too hard to be scary. 🎬 🤔
A lot of actors would play a character by not even making that much impact with what he did, making big movements or trying to look intimidating. Ledger did the opposite. Sometimes he would just stand there, look at someone, pause for a few seconds and somehow make the whole scene uncomfortable, and you already know he is a real baller 🏌️♂️
Even the way he talked felt unpredictable. You never really knew if he was joking, angry, serious or about to do something completely insane. His facial expressions, the way he moved his head, the little pauses between his words - all of it made the character feel like there was something genuinely wrong with him. 🤦
And that’s what makes the performance so good to me. You don’t just see Heath Ledger playing the Joker. You completely forget you’re watching an actor.
Before Tom Holland became Spider-Man, his career looked completely different. 🍿🎬
He started acting and dancing at a young age, but becoming a major Hollywood star didn’t happen overnight. One of his early breakthrough roles came in The Impossible, where his performance showed people that he was much more than just a young actor.
(Then Marvel came calling🚶♂️)
At just 19, Holland was cast as Peter Parker, and suddenly he was carrying one of the most recognizable characters in cinema.
What makes his journey interesting is how quickly everything changed. One role turned a young British actor into a global superstar.
I could argue that he is the best for now, but still doesn’t outperform other Og Spiderman, like this like of (Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield)
Movies like House of the Dragon should definitely be compared with Game of Thrones, because both have that same level of politics, family drama, betrayal, war and unforgettable characters. But if I’m being completely honest, I’m still going with Game of Thrones.
House of the Dragon is great, but Game of Thrones just had something different.
It bothers me that this two remarkable actors have not make any remarkable movies together over the past years
The Professor (Sergio Marquina) from Money Heist, played by Álvaro Morte, is known for his ability to plan complex heists, anticipate his enemies and stay several steps ahead.
Michael Scofield from Prison Break, played by Wentworth Miller, is a structural engineer whose intelligence, memory and meticulous planning helped him design an elaborate escape plan to save his brother.
