HEAT

This time we are going all the way back to 1995, when two of the most prestige actors collided in a single film. Mr. Al Pacino and Mr. Robert De Niro act together and were both the leading role of Mr. Michael Mann crime opera, Heat.

This movie is epic. It has all the great ingredients a perfect movie should have. It has a great story (based on true story and real people which is always great, cause what is better than real life), it possessed one of the greatest and innovative directors of all times, Mr. Mann. It has, like I mentioned before, two of my favorite actors alive or dead (by the way, I like Pacino even more). It has a cast that other studios, projects, directors or producers would kill for, starting with Val Kilmer (his best performance ever), Tom Sizemore (before he started hitting women), Natalie Portman (in one of her adolescent performing years), Asheley Judd, Amy Breeneman, Diane Venora and a lot more up to the man himself, Mr. John Voight.   

The Plot is very conventional. It’s a pursuit story of bad against evil. A robber and a cop. A chase. But what Mann did in this crime drama thriller is brilliant. He took a TV story with all its characters and gave life to them all. You are starting with your hero, a cop chasing bad guys and move into De Niro's character in and out, back and forth like a beautiful ballet dance. It is written and shot dazzlingly and although it is 170 minutes long, you can't take your eyes off of it. You are mesmerized to every scene, you are curious of every turn or choice one of them makes. You are rooting for the good guy and near the end you are so confused and involve in the villain life, you can't decide who to root for. This is the job of cinema Gods. Mann, Pacino, De Niro, all do their impeccable part of their lives (I know we are talking about the same guys who did so many iconic characters such as Vito Corleone himself, or his child, Michael Corleone and many more but…see the movie if you haven’t yet and let's talk again).

Pacino. The actor who capture my intersest and heart in cinema in the begin with. He actually becomes his character while you don’t forget you are seeing Al. you are craving for each scene he is in. the way he walks, the way he speaks, the way he reacts to his opposite in each footage. A master of the craft in its prime. You root for him in this picture not because he is the cop and basically the good guy. You will find that he is not the most pleasant, patient guy at all, but Al took it too all other level of performance that you cannot even blink between takes. One of his great performance indeed.

De Niro. My second favorite actor back in the day. I got to tell you that when someone had told him he can do comedies, that is basically the time I started feel bad that one of my icons is goofing around and I don’t like it one bit. We are talking about the raging bull for the love of god, we are talking about Scorsese favorite actor before Leonardo DiCaprio, Goodfellas- James Conway, Sam the fucking Ace Rothstein in Casino, Max Cady in Cape Fear and didn’t even got to Deer Hunter or fucking Taxi Driver. I think Heat is one of his latest work that I can idolize this actor's performance. After that it was Focker's and all kind of other crap minus some good performances such as in Ronin or Wag the Dog. De Niro's performance is great because of Al's and vice versa. they complete each other like no one has done before. De Niro's character is tormenting and you can see a focused, by the rule man who start slipping when he meets someone and let his feeling interrupt with his work. Beautiful evolve of his part.

The restaurant scene. This is the scene that took these big actors and put them in the same room, sharing a restaurant table in a lovely evening with people eating and chatting around them. It was so climaxing that you stop paying attention to the crowd and you can see only them. One camera is on Al behind De Niro's shoulder and one on De Niro behind ALs. One camera from the side, one camera from the other side all shooting together endless takes. The job was brilliantly done. It is one of the most incredible and memorable scene the cinema has to offer. A masterclass in acting, writing and directing.

The shootout scene. The shaky camera while running, the camera movement, down and behind Pacino while he ran and zoom in to a shot of him and his assault rifle, looking through his metal scope before taking a marksman shot to the head of the man holding a hostage little girl, simply WOW. Michael Mann in his finest hour. The beginning of the shootout start in a split of a second. I tried to time it once, to see how long it took Val Kilmer to spot the cops on the street while stepping out of the bank and start shooting. Less than a second.

I cannot wait for the upcoming movie that Scorsese is working on with these men, The Irishman, because the last time they team up in a movie wasn’t that great. Righteous Kill, they look tired and not in to it at all.

Apocalypto - IS IT THAT GOOD

YES IT IS!

Apocalypto, a Mel Gibson film from 2006 is absolutely, without a question, a masterpiece. It is an example of a film that does not require a big fancy movie star actor or actress to lead the movie. It as an example of how you take an historical idea, make a story out of it, take a brilliant visionary director which wrote it with Farhad Safinia, add a fabulous cinematographer (Dean Semler) spice it with one of the greatest movie composer there ever lived (James Horner) and you got a masterpiece.

Gibson, before his drunken period, anti-Semitic quotes, Jesus fanatic and other problems is a great actor and more than that one of the greatest director there is. Since Braveheart there hasn’t been a movie so epic with its details, costumes, makeup and authenticity such as Apocalypto. If you haven’t seen it, it is a must!

Like I said before, you won't find a movie star here. You will only find a movie that tells a story about the Mayan empire just before the white people invade and took their land. The movie doesn't use English at all, all the characters speak the Yucatec Maya language and it is beautiful.

 A small village with Mayan deweelrs try to leave their life peacefully, with our hero Jaguar Paw (Rudy Youngboold) along with his pregnant wife and his little kid among the rest of his brothers and sisters and friends. Their peace cut off when the Holcane tribe intruders came and sack their village, raped and murdered some of them and took them as prisoners. this is Jaguar Paw's journey. just before he was talen he managed to hide his wife amd son in a dried weel. his all journey is to stay alive and return to them.

The director, used the magnificent jungle footages to show us how vast and dangerous the land is. From rocks, to dense trees, rivers gone wild and more, just to make the trip to the city more exhausting. The city on the other hand is a beautiful repica from the historical point of view. The usage of Jade stones everywhere, starting with people teeth and through their jewelry and hair. The tattoos, the lwardrobes, the stylish hair the weaponry. Everything is meticulously done, and not a single detail missed. The set is like being taken from Cecil b. Demille movie. Everything was hand made. lots of extras all with full detailed makeup. No CGI in the process which gives you a genuine and authentic feeling while watching this monstrosity city.

Gibson, as you know, doesn’t afraid to show blood, or severed body part in his films. Braveheart, Passion of Christ, and his recently film Hacksaw Bridge all have their share fair of bloody images. In this case it fits perfectly. The city scenes with the religious sacrifices to end the drought or the falling city, the hearts that had been taken from the live bodies on the pedestal, the beheading and headed being thown down the stairs, and the bloody images all serve a great purpose. Showing you how they lived, how they prayed, how history portrayed the Mayan kingdom and their habits.

If your heart and stomach can bear gory images it is the right movie for you. It is not a horror flick that just poor buckets of blood without a thought behind it. It is not to gross you out. Every blood drop, every heart removing or every cut serve a purpose in this movie. Like I said, a masterpiece.

Mel Gibson, a smart guy, took again an Oscar winning composer to give his vision the music it deserves. James Horner (May he rest in peace) was the brilliant composer behind Braveheart, Titanic and much more great movies. He is one of my favorite movie scorers there are. The sensitive music he brings are just joy. For the score of Apocalypto, Horner has foregone the use of the 90-piece orchestras that he's used to working with, and in exchange has employed a small ensemble of musicians. The resulting work blends rhythmic tribal percussion, ethnic flutes, pipes and woodwinds, synth strings and brass, and vocalizations. It's an unconventional score, but there are moments that are distinctly that of Horner's style. There are a few themes, mainly heard on the ethnic flutes, representing the love that Jaguar Paw has for his wife and son, as well as the jungle itself, and the safety that Jaguar Paw seeks within its comforting green canopy. As the movie is a masterpiece, such as its soundtrack!

Even if you are not a Mel Gibson fan, you have to respect his vision, his details awareness and his director skills. 

P.S (and a spoiler alert)

Whenever I see the pregnant wife deliver her baby in a flooded well with her oldest son on her shoulders I remember my own wife screaming while given birth of my son and daughter or how I feel when my stomach or head hurts, I think wow, we became so spoiled.  J

Christopher Nolan – The work and the Director

Christopher Nolan – The work and the Director

"We try to achieve it all using camera, there are no green screens" Nolan, BBC newsnight, 2016

Mr. Christopher Nolan is one of the great directors of our time. He easily stepped into the hall – of – fame of icons such as Spielberg, Scorsese, Scott and Kubrick. He have made 10 films and since Memento (which blows my mind every time I see it) till the fabulous Dunkirk, each movie has its own Nolan uniqueness and it is hard to think about any other director that could have made a better job. 

He usually work with his Brother, Jonathan Nolan on the writing before entering the director seat. Thus, he gives a special angle to the movie. First he dream, then he make it happen. There aren't many directors that can pull it off. Tarantino is the master on filming his texts and thoughts. He does that to the letter and doesn’t leave much for the actor's improvisation's techniques, but, if Tarantino writes it, you can be sure it's great. 

I love that Nolan always quest the Time issue in his movies. Memento is going backwards and forward in a matter of minutes which is brilliant. Its character loses time because of a short term memory impairment and finds all kind of ways to overcompensate this problem. You can see in Inception (one of the great movies of this decade, best performance of DiCaprio in a long time) that time is the main theme of this picture. The whole idea of a dream within a dream effect time differently and when you add another layer of a dream to it you can count the years. 

Seconds, minutes, hours, years. What a brilliant idea! 

Interstellar, wow! What a spectacle. When I first saw this movie I wept like a school girl whose been left on the sidewalk after dark. In Mathew McConaughey scene, when he watched his grown daughter (Jessica Chastain)  video after he realized he just lost 20 years over a few hours in space and just wept like any father would. No one can stay indifferent to that scene. This means that Nolan can direct actors as well and not just brilliant ideas and spectacles cinematographer's shots. Don’t forget he directed the best actor there is, Mr. Al Pacino in Insomnia. Another great movie that deals with time and what it does to you. 

Nolan loves the notion of ambiguity in his films. Every ending scene must leave you thinking. He wants to give you a gut punch while you are watching his movies but he also need you to keep on thinking about what you just saw. In one of his interviews he said that today's movies are being watched more than once. On the big screen and afterward on cable TV, hotels, plane etc. Thus he wants to make movies that you can watch for the 2nd or even a 3rd time and still find new ideas and details that you have missed in your previous screening. 

This man took Batman and reboot the story into a trilogy saga that can be posted on a mantel everywhere, proudly. He made a dark Knight movies which was dark indeed. He tackled the questions of time, good vs evil, fear and how people address it. He made it so realistic that even when you see a fight scene on the Dark Knight Rises between Batman and Bane on the footsteps with all the people around fighting as well, your mind is oblivious to the costumes. You do not pay attention that there is a man in a dark mask and a cape of a bat fighting a man with a breathing mask. It seems real. That for me is great directing. On Marvel's film you can see the green screen, you can see the CGI in all its glory. They make it fun but it is definitely not Nolan's world.  

The music in his films is breath taking. From David Julyan (the prestige, Insomnia) through James Newton Howard (Batman trilogy) and the master Hans Zimmer (inception, Batman trilogy, interstellar). Each composer gave him exactly what he needs for his movies. The scenes intertwined with the music perfectly and made itunforgettable. 

"I don’t use temp music. I sit with my composer, talk to him about my though of the film, giving him the script and he start to send me bits of music. If we like it we use it." Nolan interview 2017 

When I hear the soundtracks of his films, even at the office, it gives me the urge to stop it all and go see his film. Even though I saw them a couple of times before. 

To conclude our discussion, if you haven’t seen a Christopher Nolan movie yet, you are both lacking in knowledge but blesses as well, because I, for once, would give a great amount of money to have the experience of seeing them for the first time again.

Mad Max

Who among you had seen the original George Miller Mad Max from 1979 featuring the young Australian upcoming Mel Gibson? That was before he became drunk, anti-Semitic and a Jesus fanatic of course. (By the way, in my next articles I will address his fabulous and very gory film – Apocalipto). 

Mr. Miller which is famous of his post-apocalyptic world of Mad Max decided that after 3 movies which became cult movies and the base of many replicas, finally decided to make a reboot for his beloved character and with the use of today's technology he managed to make a chaotic world such as he always dreamt about. 

Mad Max – Fury road, 2015, is great fun! Absolutely, unquestionable fun! I have seen this movie 4 times already and enjoyed it every time. The world Miller created is great, the characters are exactly as like the original Mad Max movies were, the disfiguring, the faces, makeup, music and the cars, oh…the cars! 

The cars in Mad Max are like a supporting role, they are custom to the desert world the movie portrayed and they have all the cool stuff Miller enjoys toying with. You can see the trucks, the jeeps, and obviously Max's car all searching for oil and gas to run them while the people are searching for water in this God forsaking place or the wasteland. 

Water is the new currency in this film. The one who holds the water streaming is the boss. Of course the boss in this film is a bad one. A gory version of a man which has "wives" to bear his offspring and when they decided to escape, then all the fun begun. Immortan Joe which is played by Hugh Keays-Byrne is a troublsom charecter to watch indeed. A fun fact about Mr. Byrne is that he played Toecutter in the original Mad Max. 

Max actually encountered this situation by accident. He was a prisoner of one of Immortal Joe (boss's name) foot soldier and when all the soldiers were chasing the kickass Imperator Furiosa played by the beautiful and quite surprising Charlize Theron he was actually was strap to a hood of the car being blood drained, literally. 

I don’t want to spill the beans on the whole plot (mostly because there is no plot to be told, what I've written before is mostly it).

This kind of movie is not about the plot. It's about the rush that Miller gives you in this high speed movie. Almost 95% of the movie is a one big chase. A very fast and furiously action packed race. There are shootout, jumping, fire explosives, and much more in this chase with monstrosity cars that all design to kill. Like I said, fun!

Tom Hardy  (Lawless, The dark knight rises) is one of my favorite actors today. Whatever he does, he does perfectly. Check out Lawless from 2012, he gave a perfect performance in this movie. Christopher Nolan loves him and incorporates him in lots of his movies. That should give you the answer of what an actor are we talking about. 

The music in this movie belongs to Junkie XL. A rock Opera if you may with a heart bit of a Custom Tom Drum Patches along with its staccato strings section combined with his electronics, the low brass and the electric guitar. All that composed into a high tempo rhythm just like the film which is basically a chase.  The music portrayed the adrenaline of the film. It has fast bits and cool sounds all around you while you are on the edge of your seat and watch this big, fast and cool rush. 

See you im my next article.

מי ממכם ראה את הסרט המקורי של ג 'ורג' מילר  MAD MAX מ 1979 שהראו את האוסטרלי הצעיר מל גיבסון? זה היה לפני שהוא הפך שיכור, אנטישמי ואוהד ישו מושבע כמובן. (דרך אגב, המאמרים הבאים שלי יתייחסו לסרטו הנפלא כבמאי - אפוקליפטו).

מר מילר, שהוא מפורסם כיוצר העולם הפוסט-אפוקליפטי של מקס הזועם, החליט שלאחר 3 סרטים שהפכו לסרטי פולחן (הראשון יוצר משני האחרים...) ולבסיס של חיקויים רבים, החליט לבסוף לעשות אתחול מחדש לכוכבו האהוב ועם השימוש בטכנולוגיה של היום הוא הצליח לעשות עולם כאוטי כמו שהוא תמיד חלם.

MAD MAX – fury road, 2015, הוא כיף גדול! כיף ללא ספק! ראיתי את הסרט הזה כבר 4 פעמים ונהניתי ממנו בכל פעם. העולם שמילר יצר פשוט נהדר, הדמויות הן בדיוק כמו בסרטים המקוריים, האנשים המעוותים, האיפור, מסיכות הפנים, המזיקה (שנדבר אליה בהמשך) המכוניות, או הו ... המכוניות!

המכוניות בסרטי MAD MAX הם נושא מטורף. הם כמו תפקיד תומך בסרט, כמו שחקני משנה, הם מותאמים לעולם המדברי ויש להם את כל הדברים המגניבים שמילר נהנה לשחק בהם. אתה יכול לראות את המשאיות, את הג'יפים, ומכוניתו של מקס, כמובן, מחפשת נפט וגז כדי להריץ אותם, בעוד הדמויות מחפשות מים במקום שכוח האל הזה, או בשממה כמו שקוראים לה בסרט.

המים הם המטבע החדש בסרט הזה. מי שמחזיק את הזרמת המים הוא הבוס. כמובן הבוס בסרט הזה הוא רע. גרסה מעוותת שמצריכה חמצן תמידי של אדם שיש לו "נשים"  שכל תפקידן הוא לשאת את צאצאיו. כשאלה שהחליטו לברוח, התחיל כל הכיף. ג 'ו אלמוות משוחק על ידי HUGH Keays-Byrne. עובדה משעשעת על מר ביירן הוא שהוא שיחק את התוקף MAD MAX המקורי.

מקס שלנו ממש נתקל בכל העסק הזה במקרה. הוא היה אסיר של חייל רגלי של  Immortan Joe וכשכל החיילים רדפו אחרי Imperator Furiosa (שרליז ת'רון היפה והמפתיעה למדי משחקת), הוא היה ממש קשור למכסה המנוע בזמן שמרוקנים לו את הדם, פשוטו כמשמעו.

אני לא רוצה לספר על כל העלילה (בעיקר כי אין שום סיפור לספר, מה שכתבתי קודם הוא בעיקר כל העלילה).

מה שחשוב בסרט הזה הוא לא העלילה. זה ה RUSH שמילר נותן לך בסרט הזה, הרגשת המהירות הגבוהה. כמעט 95% של הסרט הוא מרדף אחד גדול. מרדף מהיר מאוד עמוס בקטעי פעולה. יש יריות, קפיצות עם מוטות ענק, חומרי נפץ ואש, מכוניות מפלצתית שכל העיצוב שלהן מתוכנן כדי להרוג. כמו שאמרתי, כיף!

טום הארדי (Lawless, The dark knight rises)  הוא אחד השחקנים האהובים עלי היום. מה שהוא עושה, הוא עושה בצורה מושלמת. תראו את  Lawless מ 2012, הוא נתן ביצועים מושלמים בסרט הזה. כריסטופר נולאן אוהב אותו ומשלב אותו בהרבה סרטים שלו. זה אמור לתת לך את התשובה על איזה שחקן אנחנו מדברים.

The music in this movie belongs to Junkie XL. A rock Opera if you may with a heart bit of a Custom Tom Drum Patches along with its staccato strings section combined with his electronics, the low brass and the electric guitar. All that composed into a high tempo rhythm just like the film which is basically a chase.  The music portrayed the adrenaline of the film. It has fast bits and cool sounds all around you while you are on the edge of your seat and watch this big, fast and cool rush.

Man Of Steel - איש הפלדה

Let's talk about Man Of Steel the movie or the reboot of Superman from 2013.

I know that the Marvel world is more successful and fun than the DC universe but, be that as it may, I want to start with Superman. (we'll address Marvel heroes in future articles).

Director Zack Snyder along with producer Mr. Christopher Nolan (Mr. Nolan is truly one of the best director ever and currently the one I expect the most of. I'm thinking of writing a whole section just on his movies and their effects on my expectation of future movies) created a whole new world that is not related to the previous superman movies which are great fun but…

Snyder and Nolan created (with screenwriter Davis S. Goyer which collaborated with Nolan on his Batman movies), a Krypton world which is the weak part of the movie in my opinion. Some hybridization of Jurassic park with TV series Babylon five mash up with star-track technology. Not a great opening but still, we encounter the lovely Ayelet Zurer (Israel represent)  and the Man, Russell Crowe as Jor-El (it was a nice touch that they thought about Crowe which is an academy award winner and consider to be a prestige actor such as the first Superman from  1978 which involved Mr. Marlon Brando as Jor-El). Another prestige actor, Michael Shannon is also appeared at the beginning and introduced as the villain of the movie as General Zod. Of course it is basically follow the comics rules but I think it was farfetched 15 minutes.

After Kal-El the baby sent to earth we start to see Nolan in action. The time breaks and back and forth jumping to an older Clark Kent and a younger versions playing by the great Henry Cavill and mostly his parents Mr. Kevin Costner and the magnificent Diane Lane are what Nolan does best. He portrayed a synopsis with action scene and built the problematic question of "does the world ready for Superman?" with Costner as the protective father which ultimately pays for his protection. 

There are a lot of magnificent actors in this flick. The lovely Amy Adams and  the cool Laurence Fishburne and more. But I wanted to focused on the music of this film.

You don't know me yet but all my friends know that my second hobby is film music. I do not talk about songs from Fame or Bond's films, I'm talking about movie scores. 

Mr. Hans Zimmer is one of my favorite composer, score writer or  whatever you want to title it. Since Broken Arrow throughout Gladiator, The Rock and up till Interstellar (another Nolan outstanding film). 

In this movie I consider Mr. Zimmer score as a supporting actor of some sort. The beautiful melodies along with the special instrument he gathered to come up with the extinguish sounds of the planet being destroyed are remarkable. I love that he always try to come up with new sounds and try different melodies in his scores. When you watch a movie that Zimmer made the score you want be able to get confused on who is the composer. There are a lot of mockups to his scores but there is only one Zimmer.

Drum session. see what Zimmer did...

If you put the CGI's scene aside (which are great by the way – dark and wonderful) and try to capture the camera movement and stills by the hands of Amir Mokri (Bad boys 2) you can see how Nolan interference is basically what makes this film look like this and not another Transformer flick of some sort. 

I saw this movie 5 times by now, the last one was with my 10 years old son which I finally convinced to drop Ant-man and join me to the rear Comic Superhero – Superman. He of course enjoy the CGI parts more than the more quiet story scenes but nonetheless he came out happy and thrilled. As am I. 

I added cool stuff I bought for him (which I took to my office of course) plus I'm adding you a picture of my arm tattoo so you can see I'm serious 😊

בואו נדבר על איש הפלדה הסרט או האתחול מחדש של סופרמן מ 2013.

אני יודע כי העולם של מארוול הוא יותר מוצלח ומהנה מאשר היקום של DC אבל, אם כי, אני רוצה להתחיל עם סופרמן. (נדון בגיבורי מארוול במאמרים עתידיים).

הבמאי זאק סניידר יחד עם המפיק מר כריסטופר נולאן (מר נולאן הוא באמת אחד הבמאים הטובים ביותר אי פעם. אני חושב לכתוב קטע שלם רק על הסרטים שלו ועל ההשפעות של צפייה של בסרטיו) יצרו עולם חדש לגמרי שאינו קשור לסרטיי סופרמן הקודמים שהיו כמובן כיף גדול אבל ...

סניידר ונולאן יצרו (עם התסריטאי דייוויס ס. גוייר, אשר שיתף פעולה עם נולאן על סרטיי באטמן), עולם קריפטוני שהוא החלק החלש של הסרט לדעתי. כמו הכלאה של פארק היורה עם סדרת הטלוויזיה בבילון 5 יחד עם טכנולוגיית סטאר-טרק. לא פתיחה נהדרת, אבל עדיין, אנחנו פוגשים את איילת זורר היפהפייה (ייצוג ישראלי לפני עידן גל גדות) ואת הגבר, ראסל קרואו בתור ג'ור אל (זה היה רעיון נחמד שהם חשבו על קרואו שהוא זוכה אוסקר ולשקול שחקן יוקרה כמו הסופרמן הראשון מ -1978, שהיה מר מרלון ברנדו כג'ור אל). שחקן יוקרתי נוסף, מייקל שאנון, הופיע גם הוא בהתחלה והוצג כנבל של הסרט כגנרל זוד. כמובן שכל העולם הזה בעצם ממשיך את כללי הקומיקס אבל אני חושב שאלו 15 דקות מופרכות למדי.

אחרי קאל-אל התינוק שנשלח לכדור הארץ אנחנו מתחילים לראות את נולאן בפעולה. הזמן פוסק הלוך ושוב וקופץ לקלארק קנט מבוגר יותר וגרסאות צעירות יותר של הנרי קאווייל הגדול, ובעיקר הוריו מר קווין קוסטנר ודיאן ליין הנהדרת הם מה שעושה נולאן הכי טוב. הוא מציג עלילה עם סצינות פעולה ובונה את השאלה הבעייתית של "האם העולם מוכן לסופרמן?" עם קוסטנר כאב המגן אשר בסופו של דבר משלם עבור ההגנה שלו.

יש הרבה שחקנים מפוארים בסרט הזה. איימי אדמס היפהפייה ולורנס פישבורן המגניב ועוד. אבל רציתי להתמקד במוסיקה של הסרט הזה.

אתם עדיין לא מכירים אותי אבל כל החברים שלי יודעים שהתחביב השני שלי הוא מוזיקת הקולנוע. אני לא מדבר על שירים מסרטי "תהילה" או "בונד", אני מדבר על Soundtrack scores.

מר האנס זימר הוא אחד המלחינים האהובים עלי, כותב או מה שאתה רוצה ככותרת לאמן הדגול הזה. מאז Broken Arrow לגלדיאטור, לפריצה לאלקטרז ועד Interstellar (עוד סרט מעולה של נולאן).

בסרט זה אני מחשיב את מר זימר כשחקן בסרט לכל דבר ועניין. המנגינות היפות יחד עם הכלים המיוחדים שהוא אסף הם מדהימים. אני אוהב שהוא תמיד מנסה לעלות עם צלילים חדשים ולנסות מנגינות שונות בכתיבה שלו. כאשר אתה צופה בסרט שזימר הלחין את המוזיקה שלו, אתה לא יכול להתבלבל מי הוא המלחין. יש הרבה חיקויים למוזיקה שלו אבל יש רק זימר אחד.

תופים.  תראו  איזו עבודה על קטע תופים, מאחורי הקלעים

אם אתה שם את הסצינות של גרפיקת המחשב (CGI) בצד (שהיא נהדרת דרך אגב - מורבידית ונפלאה) ומנסב לתפוס את תנועת המצלמה והסטילס על ידי אמיר מוקרי (Bas boys 2) אתה יכול לראות איך ההתערבות של נולאן הוא בעצם מה שעושה את זה הסרט ולא עוד סרט רובוטריקים כלשהו שמוקרי גם צילם.

ראיתי את הסרט הזה 5 פעמים עד עכשיו, האחרון היה עם הבן שלי בן ה 10, שסוף סוף שכנעתי אותו לרדת מ Ant-man  ולהצטרף אלי אל גיבור העל, הקומיקס האמיתי - סופרמן. הוא כמובן נהנה מחלקי ה- CGI יותר מאשר בסצנות הסיפור השקטות, אבל בכל זאת הוא יצא מאושר ומרוצה. בדיוק כמוני!

הוספתי דברים מגניבים שקניתי לו (אשר לקחתי למשרד שלי כמובן) ובנוסף אני מוסיף לכם תמונה של הקעקוע שלי על היד כדי שתראו שאני רציני 😊
