NOTE: This is a REUPLOAD - had to re-edit after it got blocked in most countries. Anywayyyy...what's YOUR favourite example of "show, don't tell" in a movie? The more important the moment, the better!
-
There's not a bad scene or performance in Sicario. Emily Blunt is outstanding.
-
I'm glad you also mentioned the night vision scene in Sicario. Everyone talks about the border scene, but the night vision scene is just as good in my opinion. The movie as a whole set a new standard for realistic action scenes. You don't have characters explaining what's going on or talking unnecessarily. You also don't have characters doing anything superhuman. They behave exactly as they should given what we know about them.
-
In Sicario it's also the color of Kate's T-shirt. At the beginning of the movie, it's a deep blue and at the end, it's a washed out grey, barely even color left.
-
When I first saw Sicario, I already felt that this wasn't your ordinary movie. Villeneuve is one of the greatest directors of our time. So happy they let him do Dune, part 1 was amazing and I expect part 2 to be even better.
-
Benecio del toro was so good in this movie. No one really talks much about that. His character was intimidating and commanding. The lone wolf who was always aware of his surroundings.
-
Villeneuve is gonna be remembered as a stellar storyteller. And he knows and has the luck and smarts to be able to surround himself with great people..
-
Even more than Sicario's border crossing back into the US, the entire sequence that sets it up is high tension all the way through. First you get the convoy of black SUVs crossing into Mexico, the prisoner extraction, the fear that they're being followed, and THEN you get back to the border before the shootout starts. The whole scene is a brilliant execution of nearly wordless visual storytelling.
-
Seeing Denis Villenueve elevating his directing game is outstanding.
-
Sicario is one of the best movies I've ever seen! It's rewatchable too. A masterpiece as far as I'm concerned, and I've showed it to friends who have unanimously enjoyed it to varying levels.
-
Regarding that last clip in the video, my late twenties has been full of revisiting films I saw as a child or teenager or young adult and now seeing them with all my life experiences up till this point and how my perception and emotions have evolved have completely transformed my experience of these movies from the first time I saw them. I watched those films then and assumed I had a pretty good understanding of what I was being shown but going back after all these years its so surprising how much I miss completely or what I didn't really grasp properly.
-
I've watched Sicario around 5 times, and I could watch it another 10 times.
-
What Martin said in the end is so true. A good cinema is one which you can watch many times and find something new everytime like he said, and never get bored of it. Each time you watch it you have the same excitement and joy watching it.
-
So proud as a French-Canadian (Québec) to see our guy Denis being respected worldwide like that 🙌🙌
-
I’ve finally watched Sicario…wow, what a film….
-
My favorite shot in any movie in recent years is the one around 6:49 (from Sicario), when they're still in the desert, walking towards those tunnels, I believe. That sunset, the way it's filmed...amazing
-
The Green Knight, which is purposefully ambiguous in much of its storytelling (which makes sense given that it’s a modern reinterpretation of an Arthurian tale.) You know that the story is always telling you *something*, even if it’s not something you can totally verbalize.
-
In three words or less, "Show, don't tell."
-
I remember the border scene being one of the most iconic (and intense) movie scenes in 'realistic' action movies I've ever seen. Actually, for me, it's only topped by the shootout scene in Heat.
-
Finally it's back
