    Blackhat dummy underrated, s*** is so good.

    Thief is an absolute masterwork, that cinematography, that Tangerine Dream score, the vibes are so big

    The mind of a criminal is complex to understand, Mann always does a good job of getting a perspective across from their point of view like other directors can’t. I’ve watched thief and heat countless times and public enemies maybe even more and all of his other work too.

    I can spend days discussing his work and that’s the reason for this thread, I’ll be adding more here and there even if just to keep a journal of thoughts as they pop up in my head. The one thought I had today was about the Jericho mile reminded by having a conversation with friends while they shared prison stories today, which I thought were interesting enough to have had a film crew there to capture. Mann took the time to try to understand prison politics and managed to pull off a crazy idea like this.

    I’ll always remember the shot that starts at 42 seconds with the musical note
