Omoh.. I've come to the understanding that if I follow ppls mouth and rating concern movies in this place... I won't watch any movie... Thats how they say fallout is this.. fallout is that, it doesn't make sense... Maximus and Lucy are not compatible... Omo, they both acted their roles very well relating to their lifestyle in the movie... Very nice show,

Same way they said dune isn't good... I think it's movies that ppl don't rate well I would watch

Lol
i know that people watch movies/series/Anime/Cartoons for different reasons. but I believe they primarily do two things
1. Entertain
2. Make Us Thing and Discuss
I believe you can't get these two things in 1 watch. heck watching twice might still not be enough Hello!! Tenet

I Love what Shogun is doing, people are talking about it discussing it, questioning characters, going back to read history, better understanding culture, etc. (the only reason i am watching it is because of the discussions around it, the different views around fugal Japan .........)
YOU WILL NOT LIKE WHAT I LIKE, I WILL NOT LIKE WHAT YOU LIKE. YOU ARE NOT ME I AM NOT YOU But sha let's talk about it cool

1. Over hyped
2. No reason as to why the elder brother wasn't given the properties
3. He's a soldier boi. Shouldn't struggle too much in fighting the vagabonds
4. Fight scenes were too few and no good fighting in there at all
5. The hyped gangs ain't got nothing to show for it.
6. No suspense.. Poor ways of showing a character is badass



The only scene i enjoy there is When the edler brother murderered the guy that said he should be dancing like a chicken.. Totally unexpected lol

Okay i get you, i don't agree with your assertion but i understand

Cinematography is a crucial aspect of filmmaking that significantly impacts the visual storytelling experience. When evaluating a movie based on its cinematography, consider the following factors:

- Lighting and Composition:

Film Lighting Artistry: Pay attention to how lighting is used. Exceptional cinematographers create innovative lighting setups that enhance the mood, emphasize details, and contribute to the overall visual appeal of the film1.

- Camera Angles Artistry: Composition matters. Observe the framing, camera angles, and how shots are composed. A well-composed frame can evoke emotions and convey meaning.

- Camera Movement:

Camera Movement Artistry: Dynamic camera movements (such as tracking shots, pans, or tilts) can elevate a film. They guide the viewer’s attention and immerse them in the story. Look for intentional camera movements that serve the narrative.

- Color Design and Production Design:

Color Design Artistry: Colors influence the mood and tone of a film. Consider the color palette used in different scenes. Is it consistent? Does it enhance the storytelling?

- Production Design: Cinematography is closely tied to production design. Evaluate how the sets, costumes, and props contribute to the visual world of the film.

- Editing and Immersion:

Good Editing: Effective editing enhances the cinematography. Observe how cuts and transitions are handled. A well-edited film maintains continuity and rhythm, allowing the visuals to flow seamlessly.

- Silence and Natural Flow: Pay attention to moments of silence. Skillful editing ensures that scenes feel natural and unforced, without abrupt jumps or distractions.


Remember that great cinematography doesn’t necessarily mean polished perfection. Some films intentionally adopt a raw or documentary-style look, which can be equally powerful1. Ultimately, the best cinematography serves the story, evokes emotions, and transports the audience into the filmmaker’s vision.


make everybody rest in Jesus name !

Baddestguyp:
the bolded is completely false imo

But maybe you can explain what you mean?

Eren is not a product of his upbringing...
That logic has been squashed several times by the show and even the character himself

Eren was born with this innate desire to be free
Eren as a character started out as a bird in a cage...he knew he wasn't free...he knew he was born behind walls, but what made him realize the extent he was caged was when he learnt more about the outside world from Armin's book. The book showed the existence of the ocean and everything the world out there had to offer

That was the moment Eren truly learnt how caged he was. At that point he believed the Titans were the only obstacle keeping him caged and he hated them so much.

Eren had the black and white view of life. He had this innate desire for freedom but that the Titans were the only thing taking away that freedom.
He has the belief that humans are supposed to be free from birth and rather than have his freedom taken away he will rather take away the freedom of his enemies
This was why at 9 years old he brutally killed the Kidnappers who kidnapped Mikasa. To him, they were no more than animals. They weren't humans.

He has the same view of Titans. However as Eren joined the scouts, he kept learning more and more about Titans. But he believed that once he reached the basement, he would get hope for freedom. He would find something that will help him and his friends live their lives freely.

Then he reached the basement and he discovered the truth of the world. He realized he and his friends would never truly be free as long as humans existed outside the walls.

Outside the walls was just a larger wall/cage

To make matters worse, the outside world was full of enemies. That was why when he reached the ocean, while others like Armin were happy because the cherished the smaller moments in life, and that they had gotten at least an achievement by reaching the ocean, Eren was not happy at all.
Instead he became darker by learning how caged he truly was and how the world seemed to exist exactly how he saw in his father's memories.

Next post



I did not say Levi or Mikassa are more complex than Eren , I just said they are my favorite,

why I said his character is predictable is because up until the whole point of attack Tiatan can see memories of past holder etc he character growth is predictable , but like you said his character was written in grey so there will always be different perspectives and this will keep the conversations going , as at the last episode I hated eren so much although I understand his path but still do not like him . i will AOT was actually a book sha

Eren trending last night because of arguments about his character and some people having gross misunderstanding of him.

Eren Yeager still remains one of the most complex written characters in fiction...
Too many layers and dimensions to his character to unveil for many years to come


Labelling a character like Eren as a "good person" is a crime against his writing. Especially in a work like AOT that utilizes grey morality.
There is no simply good or bad character.

You recommended AOT to me few months back, Great show i must say, i do not thing Eren is complex at all, He is a product of his upbringing his character is quit predictable IMO, Two characters kept me glued to the show Levi and Mikasa. But Sha i will never love AOT as you do, so Far Transevania is My GOAT
