-our most Hegelian film franchise

1957

Watched 30 May 2025

-watched kind of late in the evening and struggled with the slow pace in the first half
-but I did pick up on the cinematography — lots of interesting/meaningful framing and camera movement
-then the ending worked really well for me
-might like even more on a rewatch

-it’s about pretty privilege, and cumming in a tunnel

1987

Liked Rewatched 27 May 2025

-not Carpenter’s most perfect film but probably my favorite of his — so many intriguing ideas and images all thrown together, slowly heating up until it boils over
-mirrors, dreams, writing upon writing, a secret sect, the competing rationalisms of science and the Church, reversal of time and gravity breaking open into irreversibility, a sleeper awakening
-the stuff with homeless people doesn’t hold up great but he atones for it in They Live
