Shakespeare in Love is a great film, but definitely one with a solid 90s feel, which makes it difficult to truly be an enduring classic film. It’s somewhat hard to watch today, although it was amazing when it first came out.

It’s probably one of his crappier films. Specially when there are films like Raging Bull, Taxi, and even Hugo, in the mix. The Departed simply fails to add up to an amazing film, much less an enduring masterpiece.

Definitely. City of God is an incredibly powerful and difficult film, but one that every person should experience at least once. Stellar editing and cinematography, and that story is killer.

K-pop as a genre is incredibly redundant and fabricated. Similar to soap opera or big budget films, K-pop follows a specific formula in relation to its overall look, feel and style.

There many tattoo artists who are truly artists, both in the traditional sense (drawing/painting), as well as the more contemporary sense, as they take their artistry onto a person’s skin. There is likely a complex parallel in relation to discussing tattoo as art, or street graffiti as art, mostly because both can spark such great debate as to who/what actually constitute art in the process of “destruction” on one’s body and/or public property. A topic that leads to rich conversations on both sides.

Surprising this topic had not been written about before. Lucy was an absolute force of nature and opened so many doors in television, many of which were directly for women. It is a bit strange and funny when people fail to realize that so many sitcoms (e.g. Seinfeld, Friends, The Big Bang Theory, etc.) closely follow the brilliant TV formula developed by ” I Love Lucy.”

Dunham has certainly created a successful brand for her self, although aligning her with Trump or Truffaut seems misguided. She is neither a ridiculous idiot seeking empty media attention nor a deeply thoughtful artist who completely revolutionized cinema. While Dunham didn’t reinvent the wheel in writing or television, the intentional mystique of where Lena ends and Hannah begins definitely keeps the audience tuned in.

Even as a female viewer, the male characters are by far more interesting than the female ones. And while the article does not mention Elijah, who does become a key character throughout the show, Adam and Ray are definitely the main driving force for the male spirit in GIRLS. Like their female friends, both Adam and Ray are deeply complex characters; however, they are passionate and loving in a way the girls simply fail to be, which in some ways, goes towards breaking pre-conceived notions of male-female behavior.
