While most people don’t have a “level playing field,” sitting in the exact same theatre from the exact same vantage point, Paul is viewing the Best Pictures in his “theatre room” on a 1080p 65″ Panasonic VIERA Plasma HDTV. He has a Bose 5.1 speaker system with an Onkyo receiver. He is sitting on his Ethan Allen couch, centered 12 feet from the screen … on the right.
CODA’s ensemble – I think this is what makes this movie sing. You feel every family member’s presence, whether or not they’re present in the scene. I loved every character. Fully realized, real relationships.
I agree, Peggy! Their on-screen bond is powerful. Thanks for writing.
Just the kind of project that entices me to explore this site more closely than other film forums.
Wonderful, Kevin! I look forward to your insights as you explore these films. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
