Released in 2017 starring Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer
Basically It’s a coming of age love story between the two. They are intellectual, artistic, and confident for their age and you can sense the sexual tension fairly early on between the two but, at first, I felt let down by the pacing and aimlessness of the story. It meanders like a long, wine soaked lunch in a country town.
Eventually, I became comfortable with the pace of life portrayed in northern Italy and ultimately fascinated by the bond these two characters developed.
Chalamet gives an astonishing portrayal of a young man both confused and totally confident with his sexuality. I had no idea because I’ve only seen his work in the Dune series and that doesn’t really showcase his range.
I watched Exodus with Paul Newman and Eve Marie Saint a few times recently. I’m still not sure what to make of it. It shows good human stories and explains the events surrounding the creation of Israel accurately. It treats everyone with respect and understanding. I suppose in that regard it did what it was meant to do.
4 hobbits
Tonight I watched “Relax I’m From the Future” with Rhy Darby. A light weight sci fi time travel farce. It was ok.
The signature tune of Exodus is magnificent. I think nowadays that it celebrates a form of colonialism that grates a bit on today’s sensibilities. Still an incredible anthem of those times. One of the great earworms.

A pleasant surprise at the movies tonight
5/5 apricots 😉
William Tell. Pretty generic peasant vs nobility medieval story. Felt a lot like Braveheart, Rob Roy, Robin Hood, etc. Not bad but forgettable. 2/5.

2 hobbits
I have not heard of that one. Looking at the wiki, the musical score received the most accolades.
4 hobbit is a pretty good I might put it on the list.
