BINGE-WATCHES
Feb. 7th, 2020 01:12 amI'm still sick, so I spent the entire day lazing around and watching films and tv.
First, I watched Parasite, if only to know at least one of the Oscar nominated films LOL. I’m definitely rooting for it to win the main awards. I got the feeling that the subtitles failed to properly convey the original film (and I was right, according to this), but even then the film more than holds up. Now I want to look into the rest of Bong Joon Ho’s filmography; as a mater of personal preference I enjoyed Snowpiercer more, though I think Parasite is better. It's one of those films you see more and more layers the more you think of it.
I finally watched Terminator: Dark Fate too.
( spoilers )
And I binge-watched The Witcher, since everyone I know keeps talking about it. First, I'll say that I wish the Game of Thrones comparisons stopped, ESPECIALLY the Daenerys-Yennefer comparisons; I just don't see it. They’re both fantasy sagas. They both rely on one or two similar “period” markers and fantasy conventions. They’re not particularly alike. I’m saying this as someone who still likes GOT, btw, and who enjoyed this show quite a lot too.
