The Founder
I’m a sucker for biopics, and for good reason – They are awesome! (a dozen few at least). McDonald’s is a brand no one needs any introduction. The Founder tells the story behind it, which is heartwarming at first but ends up being a thriller at the end. A must watch!
First Man
First Man is one of the most boring movies of all time. Even the most awesome scenes of flying rockets and experimental planes seem so disorienting and boring, having no music doesn’t help much – That were my initial thoughts while watching the 1st part of First Man. Luckily I continued to watch the second half of the movie a couple of days later. Still slow .. slow .. family .. slow.. and then spoiler alert comes the moon landing, and the orchestra starts playing the best haunting yet calming music, and the same disorienting shorts of flying the spacecraft become the most exhilarating moment in the history of cinema (after Interstellar docking scene – of course) I might re watch this movie again once, some day, but I have watched the moon landing scene with full volume almost every night for a month, and occasionally now. Its scenes and music like these make even a bad movie worth watching.
