I watched Spectre (2015) and had a difficult time following the story. Things happen and either I missed some exposition as to why some of the people do what they do or it was not in the movie.
I liked Casino Royale, it's the best Daniel Craig Bond movie. Quantum of Solace, I'd actually like quite a bit if it wasn't for the bad (way too choppy) editing of the action scenes. Skyfall I liked for the first half but after they captured the villain it lost its charm for me.

I don't know, maybe the old Bond movies were simpler and or with more exposition but I don't follow some of the newer Bond movies and newer movies in general. I mean that the details are missing or too subtle for me and I often don't get why the characters do what they do.

This movie is potentially affecting.... Especially to an unexposed mind. Never seen the kind of psychedelic sequences shows. Exhilarating the first time around.

Almost missed Strindberg's fantastic short play on the animality of emotions, hegelian hierarchies, to say the least...

Its cruel, funny, gripping...

Miss Julie (2014)

Cult_Leader reminded me of adding an online vid. of Anderson's cinematic masterpiece already mentioned here,
The Master (2012).

The film's a brilliant work of art, because I think, it is metaphorical on another level of our own bicameral minds, the right and left brain, the master and its emissary...

First time I've seen this beauty. The director Fritz Lang, knew exactly what modern wage slavery was before it became the viral disease it is now, and the complex relationship of communism with capitalism, at a time when Germany was against both. There is also a very strong Christian message in it as well. The "devil" of the industrial machine (Babylon) Vs the "goodness" of God to bring about a messiah to save the downtrodden wage slaves from thier spiritual captivity. The message unfortunately is distinctly Christian: reconciliation between enemies.

Funny, I couldn't stop thinking to myself the whole time, if I was a cinematographer, those visual semiotics he used would be precisely how i would depict what economic slavery is in its essence. Great minds.

Germany post World War 1, pre-Hitler.
