Movie AmericaTÁR: Is this art or an experiment?
“TAR” is Todd Field’s first feature film in 16 years, and it’s an ambitious psychological thriller about the fall of the Berlin Philharmonic’s first female principal conductor. The film captures the spirit of the 2020s, especially the rise of cancel culture. Cate Blanchett’s powerful performance and the film’s visual style stand out, but its long runtime and complex structure mean it will mostly appeal to a select audience. By focusing on artistry rather than entertainment, it’s the kind of film that “critics rave about while general audiences are left perplexed.” -

Movie AmericaEverything Everywhere All at Once: A Multiverse Where Nihilism and the Affirmation of Love Collide.
This film was incredibly confusing, but that confusion is key to its main point. In a multiverse where nihilism and love intersect, emotional connection emerges as a powerful response to chaos. The story moves viewers from a laundromat to the farthest reaches of the universe. Director Daniels fully leans into strange and crude humor, creating a silly but touching sci-fi story that feels uniquely their own. The film Everything Everywhere All at Once is the 2023 Academy Award-winning Best Picture, directed by the duo known as “The Daniels,” Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. -

Tom Cruise is back in Top Gun: Maverick, bringing thrilling fighter jet action and plenty of drama. The film has everything fans love about action movies. From intense aerial battles to Maverick’s journey as a mentor, every scene packs an emotional punch.

Movie JapanPLAN 75. I thought about how my life was going to end.
There were no unexpected developments. It was just a quiet, thought-provoking film about how people die. The film made us think. The scary thing about this is that it is impossible to say that such a society will not come. -
Movie JapanBosei. The love and pain of a mother and daughter.
It was a story of love from a snarky daughter to her mother and love from the mother to her daughter. Since there were two perspectives, one from the mother and the other from the daughter, I wondered what kind of “twist” there would be, but it was not such a suspenseful story. -

Movie AmericaTHE BATMAN. Black, Darkness, a dark hero in a dark world.
Everything is dark—the picture, the world, and the background—but it's not hard to see. That's what this film has. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes the world and music of the 80's America.
