Orius' Top Movies


Orius

Recommended Posts

A little backstory

A week ago, I mentioned that I would write about my top 20 favorite movies in what I promised to be a very lengthy and detailed analysis. I've been putting it off because I wanted to do it right. After all, I love movies, and I love talking about them.

 

I initially intended to post this in the "Favorite Movie" thread, but now that I think about it, I feel that would be impractical. The analysis I'm going to write is going to take a really long time. I wanted to give a dedicated spotlight on each of the movies I mention here, not just rush to write a few lines on why I love each movie. That will take days, maybe even weeks to think about why I loved those particular movies out of all others in the first place, and I don't want to spam up that thread by double-posting everytime I've finished writing one of these analysis. Besides, that thread is for everyone to discuss their favorite movies, and me hogging the entire space would just feel obnoxious. A thread here in the "Member Spotlight" section dedicated to me talking at length about my favorite movies with you (as well as answering any questions you might have as to why I liked those movies) just feels a lot more appropriate.

 

To be honest, I would have posted this in a blog, which would be the most appropriate place for this kind of thing. But since user-blogs will no longer be an option for AF according to Optic, I don't really like the idea of me sending you to another website to read my blog posts. It's inconvenient for both you and me. It's much better for you to just stay at AF and read about this.

 

With that said, here is the list of favorite movies I'm going to be talking about over the course of the next few weeks. I'll be linking any future posts I write in this thread to this first post, so you don't have to worry about searching for a specific favorite movie of mine that you want to ask about:

  1. Toy Story 2
  2. Toy Story 3
  3. Casino Royale
  4. The Fly
  5. Aliens
  6. The Dark Knight
  7. Watchmen
  8. Independence Day
  9. Speed Racer
  10. Jurassic Park
  11. Predator
  12. Mission: Impossible
  13. The Prince of Egypt
  14. A.I. Artificial Intelligence
  15. Terminator 2: Judgment Day
  16. Back to the Future
  17. The Cabin in the Woods
  18. The Prestige
  19. The Machinist
  20. Alien 3 (Assembly Cut)
  21. Tropic Thunder
  22. Zootopia
  23. Liar Liar
  24. Ratatouille

Note: This list isn't definite or completed, so it's definitely subject to change in the future. My favorite movies tend to change a lot as I grow older.

 

Here's how it's going to work: Everyday, starting tomorrow, I'll be rewatching one of the movies you see here, and I'll write at length what I love about it, how I came into loving it in the first place, and why it has remained in my top favorites for so long. I might not post everyday due to time-constraint, but I'll try. Again, each review will be linked back to this first post, so you only need to refer to here to see the latest movie I've talked about.

 

I wanted to work my way up from top 30 or top 20 all the day to #1, but I've realized that the lower I go down the list, the more subjective it is for me. It's easier to pick which is my top favorite #1 movie than it is to say which movie I like lesser that I would put it lower, in #10 or #20. So I'll be working down the list from 1 to 30, and so on.

 

Feel free at any time to ask about my favorite movies as well as share your thoughts on them. I hope this thread is acceptable. I really want a thread of my own to talk about this, so I hope it doesn't get locked away or combined with the "Favorite Movie" thread. :)

 

Thanks for your patience, and long live good movies.

 

For our first movie tomorrow, we begin with Pixar's greatest creation yet, a groundbreaking movie that shows animation can do the same thing live action can - tell a great story for all audiences.

Probably not convenient, but you would not be at the mercy of this forum or its host, as you could easily back it up yourself.

 

As for your list, I liked Liar Liar too.

You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to this, hahaha.

 

I really like your analysis of things, and I've found that your writing style seems uniquely fit for writing a good critique.

Haha, you give me too much credit. :P But I'm glad you like my writing. To be honest, after learning that your favorite critic was Ebert, I was like, "Ah, maybe I should write more like him, talking about each movie's place in history." lol But I kinda just ended up doing my own thing again, writing in my own style, which isn't necessarily a bad thing since I like to keep my reviews sincere and honest, even if my opinions can be sometimes... controversial. :P

 

And to tell you the truth, I feel I haven't really found a distinct writing style of mine to stick to. I just... go with the flow and write the first thing that comes to mind about the movie. Sometimes I write about the story themes, sometimes I write about its troubled production, and sometimes I just complain about all its faults and annoyances. It shifts constantly ever since I've written my first movie review.

Yeah, you're right. But it's not really just convenience though. It's also a number of other mixed reasons. I want to contribute something that only I could provide, something that's uniquely me that I could dedicate to the community. I also want to write it here because it feels more personal that way, like I'm writing for AF, not for Blogger. I guess you can say I'm just being sentimental about this. :)

My favorite comedy ever. I get tons of laughs everytime I watched this.

 

Thank you for giving this movie its due. Most people I've known have never heard of it, somehow. :angry:

Yeah, it's a really underrated gem. One of Nolan's finest works that gets buried under The Dark Knight and, for some reason, Inception. I love it when movies portray the illusion of magic, because when you think about it, movies are a form of optical illusion that can sometimes play tricks on your eyes. Magic and movies have such a close relationship that it's often fascinating when a movie delves into the art of illusion. But I'll save that analysis for when the time comes. :)

A lot of reviewers feel this way, but they end seeming like everyone else in the crowd.

 

For me, I do reviews on my blog because I feel that is where I can deliver my views, just like AstroNerdBoy and MagicBox.

 

The choice is all yours though, so I understand your reasoning.

Many people are like this when they start writing, all I can tell you is just to find something that is right for you and what you want to focus on.

 

For me, I look for things that make stories much more interesting or enjoyable, and then what detracts from it and why.

 

Some people might not like it, but it gets my points across and allows me to express how I really feel about a work, and has been able to help one writer get better.

Actually, I felt more like I had blended into oblivion when I tried writing in my blog. It didn't receive a lot of attention, and I didn't know whom I was writing for. It felt really empty, like there was no purpose to it. I might as well have been talking to a wall about my opinions. I did put a link to my blog in my sig back then, but people simply didn't like clicking away to an external site. I was just not receiving any traffic.

 

It's that kind of thing that discouraged me from writing Blogger. I would rather write on a platform that I know people will read.

Toy Story 2

YRpv2VV.thumb.jpg.15ece1451f436ad4dcb3519ec12efae4.jpg

Directed by John Lasseter

Released on November 24, 1999

Starring Tom Hanks as "Sheriff Woody" and Tim Allen as "Buzz Lightyear"

Music by Randy Newman

Why I Love It: It showed me that animation can deal with complex issues adults could relate with.

 

"You never forget kids like Emily, or Andy... but they forget you."

 

"You went to go see a comedy about toys. You ended up halfway through flashing back to sitting at your grandma's bedside as she passed away."

—Drew Magary, on Toy Story 2

 

"At that moment you know that no one's thinking 'Well this is just a cartoon', 'this is just a bunch of pencil drawings on paper' or 'This is just a bunch of computer data'. No. These characters are alive and they're real."

- The Pixar Story

 

How do you continue a story that's been wrapped up nicely? For many, the first Toy Story was the perfect Pixar movie, the best of the lot. The first computer animated feature film in cinema history, Toy Story not only changed the face of the animation industry with its groundbreaking animation, it reinvented the animation medium with its inventive storytelling. While toys that come alive wasn't an original idea first conceived by Pixar alone, the ingenuity lies with the relationship presented here between child and toy. It was a quirky portrayal of toys going about their day-job as play-things, and how they would react if their position in the "company" is getting replaced. As a clever and imaginative adventure for young and old, Toy Story set the foundation for what seemed to be a promising future. For Pixar, it was truly "to infinity and beyond."

 

But for the 6 year old me at the time of the film's release, Toy Story was just another cartoon. What I could remember of my experience with the first film was through its "video game" (and I'm using the term loosely), and it wasn't even the action game first released on the Super NES and the Sega Genesis, but this interactive story adventure titled, "Disney's Animated Storybook: Toy Story". That was how I learned the plot of the first film, if memory serves, not through the actual film itself. But then something wonderful happened in the year of 1999. I watched Toy Story 2 at the theater and fell in love with Pixar.

 

In my opinion, Toy Story 2 did something very few other films have done - it was a sequel that surpassed the original, but that's an over-simplification. Unlike the original Star Wars trilogy, the Toy Story trilogy wasn't planned. Pixar had a policy (which some would now consider to be loose) that they wouldn't go with a sequel unless they had a good story. In fact, Toy Story 3 wasn't even suppose to happen, but Pixar was forced by Disney's hands when Michael Eisner, chairman of Disney at the time, threatened to take the Toy Story movie rights to another animation company, Circle 7 Animation. Eventually, Pixar had to step up to finish the job. Yet, Toy Story 2 pulled off the difficult task of not just making an amazing sequel, but also one that would become an ideal template on how to make a sequel for decades to come.

fWXjjjP.thumb.jpg.e91b2d32ce6d60317122470baa7ebdcd.jpg

The template is simple, but difficult to imitate. Take the ideals and beliefs of the characters from the first movie and turn it against them, challenging them in an interesting and engaging manner. In the first movie, Woody believed that there was nothing more wonderful than to be loved by a child. In the sequel, however, his mortality comes into question when his arm is ripped. A broken toy is often an abandoned one. Thus came the interesting question of whether if Woody's faith and loyalty still hold true. Such conflict in ideals nurture interesting character growth. Whereas the first movie's role is often to establish and introduce us to the characters, the sequel is where we probe deeper into what makes them tick. Woody's "You are a toy!" line is thrown back at him by Buzz this time, when the latter reminds him what it means to be loved by a child, a lesson Buzz was taught by Woody himself.

 

There are two important themes in the movie that made the movie awesome: abandonment and mortality. Let's look at the first one. The idea of toys being replaced or abandoned were played around with in the first movie, but Toy Story 2 held no punches in reinforcing the despair and loneliness of abandonment.

WYKxTPK.thumb.png.94ba9b8975f4ef382078b0f2f59f9f0a.png

When I was a kid, I thought the message was about parental abandonment. I was a lonely child who didn't get along well with my folks, so by the time Sarah McLachlan's "When She Loved Me" rolled around, I was bawling - and that's an understatement. I would tear up everytime at the Jessie confession scene, no exaggeration. The pain of having someone you had expect to love you eternally abandon you, hurt you, forget you, and betray you, that kind of pain scars the deepest. And then I would realize something after pulling myself back from the tears: it's a cartoon about talking toys. Yet here I am, pondering on such heavy issues, as if these drawings were living beings we could relate to.

 

In later years, I would also come to realize that I had it backwards, that it was more about children leaving their parents once they grow up. Rewatching that Jessie scene, listening to the lyrics again, and just reexamining the universe of Toy Story under this context made more sense. That's when I understood that terrifying notion for parents, that we would see our own children move on, forgetting us in their older years, putting us in retirement homes like a 25 cents yard sale junk. There's an amazing scene where Woody stares into the cold and empty darkness of the air vent as he ponders the unknown and vulnerable future that awaits him. This is a key scene that probes the second theme of mortality and asks, "How long will it last?" How long will our vulnerable relationships last before the cruelty of time snatches away everything as it always does?

 

But despite the seeming doom and gloom discussed here, the second theme of mortality actually makes the movie much more life-affirming, believe it or not. This is best exemplified by the aforementioned confrontation where Buzz convinces Woody to come home with them. However, Woody was offered a chance to be displayed at a museum as a collectible item, forever immortalized and beheld by millions of kids worldwide. After hearing Jessie's story, he is convinced that staying with Andy is a short and possibly painful lifespan not worth living, that one more rip would seal his fate in the garbage bin, that it was "his only chance". To which Buzz replied, "To do what, Woody? Watch kids from behind glass and never be loved again? Some life."

 

It's at this point that the film reminds us through Woody that old adage, that a short but meaningful life is far worth living than one living in comfort. As Woody himself magnificently put it after realizing his mistake, "You're right. I can't stop Andy from growing up. But I wouldn't miss it for the world." It's a beautiful and hard-hitting truth about life. All this coming from a cartoon about talking toys.

 

Aside from its impressive layers of philosophies and subverted character ideals, there are other things that made Toy Story 2 a great sequel, one of which being the effective use of parallels. In the first movie, there was a stronger focus on Buzz and Pizza Planet, on how high-tech toys have taken over the market, leaving old-fashioned cowboy dolls like Woody behind. In the sequel, this is mirrored in Woody's Roundup, a cancelled puppet TV show that's part of a series of collectible merchandise promoting a breakfast cereal. We are brought to Woody's world, as if we are watching a retro western filled with adventure and derring-do. This is further mirrored at the end of the movie. In the first Toy Story, Buzz gets his moment of glory when he actually flew through the sky for real (or "falling with style") like an actual space man. Here in the sequel, Woody gets a similar moment of glory at the end when he swings beneath a plane with his pull-string and leaps onto his horse like an actual cowboy. Such parallels is an effective way to develop a sequel by giving insight to characters that were not explored in the first movie. In this case, it shows "Woody's side of the story" and how his line of Woody toys came to be.

 

Another great use of parallel is between Jessie and Stinky Pete. Pete's hatred of the "spaceman" toys that replace old-fashioned dolls like him and Woody is mirrored in Jessie when she becomes more intimate with Buzz at the end of the movie. It's an interesting parallel that shows the different choices both characters took - Pete remains bitter and resentful, blaming others for his fate while Jessie chooses a more hopeful approach at the end.

 

If there is one weak point in this movie, it's perhaps Stinky Pete as the antagonist. He serves largely as a plot-device and isn't an effective foil to Woody's character. However, he did make an ominous prediction that would be more accurate than it seemed at the time. "You'll all be ruined! Forgotten! Spending eternity rotting in some landfill!"

 

In tomorrow's movie, we'll come to see that prediction come true, as well as a far more intimidating and effective villain that shows the dark side of abandonment issues.

Toy Story 3

cROuMUG.thumb.jpg.c36178f37a4b442fa9a4a5c00e9a1d38.jpg

Directed by Lee Unkrich

Released on June 12, 2010

Starring Tom Hanks as "Sheriff Woody", Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear, and Ned Beatty as "Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear"

Music by Randy Newman

Why I Love It: It did the impossible: be an amazing triquel.

 

"And as the years go by, our friendship will never die..."

- Randy Newman's "You've Got A Friend In Me" ominously fading away into the background.

 

At the start of the movie, the Toy Story theme song, "You've Got A Friend In Me" takes on a very different context. What was once a cheerful song about friendship lasting forever suddenly gets a reality check. Childhood is fragile and short-lived. Through the passage of time, we all grow up and move on. It was an inevitable reality the toys had known for a long time, but with the first two movies having such an optimistic outlook on the future, this grim fact had seemed surreal back then, like a cynical theory that wouldn't happen for many long years.

 

Released 10 and a half years after the last film, Toy Story 3 had a troubled production due to Disney forcing Pixar to make another sequel despite the latter's stern principle on sequels. Pixar would eventually give in, not just for Toy Story 3, but for many other sequels and prequels to come. Understandably, I had mixed expectations when I first watched this, worrying that it might be a bad sequel after the bar Toy Story 2 had set. But not only did the movie get a very satisfied seal of approval from me, I don't think I can talk about Toy Story 3 alone without examining the entire franchise.

 

In fact, there's a lot I want to talk about in the Toy Story franchise that I couldn't cover in my last analysis, including the comedy, the homages to other movies, the witty and tongue-in-cheek self-aware dialogue. Heck, I could talk about Pixar movies all day long. As a matter of fact, I hope to cover on other Pixar movies in the future, including The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and Up. But for now, let's stay on topic.

 

The Three Act Structure - A Bittersweet Story About Growing Up

Toy Story 3 marks the end of an organic (and yet unplanned) trilogy with a proper beginning, a middle, and an end. It isn't just a standalone movie, and the geniuses at Pixar skillfully utilized the "three act structure" to make this sequel an important conclusion and gave us the proper closure we needed. Appropriately, our childhood can also be split into three acts, and the Toy Story trilogy is essentially about growing up through those phases.

 

Toy Story 1 was the adolescence years that introduced Andy playing with his toys, when things were still light-hearted, filled with adventures and excitement, when we were introduced to the world. Toy Story 2 is what I would like to call, figuratively speaking, "the teenage years". It marks a time when we were old enough to start having doubts about our life, to ponder heavier topics about our future and having angst about our past. It's arguably the most engaging part of any movie franchise because this second part is often where the characters' ideals could be challenged, and where deeper themes could be explored (Terminator 2, Aliens, The Godfather Part II, etc.). But then comes the final movie, Toy Story 3, our adult years. We finally say goodbye to those beloved characters that we love as we reminiscence on our fond memories with them.

 

(On a sidenote, I'm not saying all trilogies follow this structure, obviously. I'm just setting a makeshift analogy for you so that you could easier understand the Toy Story trilogy and what it represents: growing up.)

 

When I looked back at Toy Story 3, I'm reminded of a more guileless time. It has been said by Pixar themselves that Andy is a peculiar kid. Normal kids don't really play with toys the way he did. They would act more like Sid Phillips, taking toys apart and experimenting with them. Nevertheless, it's not hard to put ourselves in Andy's shoes. Despite my previous statement, I'm sure there are many kids out there with as active an imagination as Andy, making believe ridiculous scenarios with these inanimate objects the way only a kid could.

L4f6xN9.thumb.jpg.71bb490bb4220eb4bf203ad16b02e790.jpg

And after Andy grew up, Bonnie takes his place as a reminder of that simpler time. The older audiences would then look upon her (as Andy did) with nostalgia, reminded of what it's like to be a kid again. It's a heartwarming sight to behold. And because the movie was released at a time when those who've seen the first two films would be adults, we could connect with both Andy and Bonnie easily as they reflected our inner child. There's a scene near the end of the movie that struck a surprising chord with me. It's when Andy's mom looked into his bedroom and started tearing up about her son leaving her for college. Remember when I talked about the message of Toy Story 2? How our children will leave us someday? Now that message has come full circle, the reality realized. The audiences are now Andy, now grown up and having to move on with their lives from their beloved parents.

lJjHLU6.thumb.jpg.1d255d1a8141120344d9551673254b34.jpg

Having rewatched this movie for the third (or possibly fourth) time, I'm surprised that I'm offered a different perspective, now that I'm a full-grown adult. I think that the older you get, the more certain scenes in Toy Story 3 would mean to you because you would hold dear those fond memories of childhood even more with every passing year that you grow older. If Toy Story 2 was about spending time with your loved ones while it lasted, then Toy Story 3 is about finally saying goodbye to those loved ones.

The Life Of A Toy

There's a really interesting analysis on Toy Story 3's structure on TVTropes that's related to what I was trying to say in the above "three act structure" analysis. It talks about how Toy Story 3 is about the toys facing an afterlife. The only way a toy could die in the universe is by being broken, or figuratively, they would "die" by being abandoned. The daycare is like a combination of heaven and hell, with the comfortable Butterfly Room being the former and the Caterpillar Room the latter. And as for the terrifying landfill that the prospector so wisely predicted in Toy Story 2? It's the void, an empty darkness without heaven or hell (kinda like the "nothing" that Ryuk described in Death Note). Toy Story 3 is essentially the toys' journey towards afterlife, and their eventual arrival at reincarnation - Bonnie, the fate of being given new life in another child's possession.

 

And it's fitting that Sunnyside Daycare would be compared to Hell, for there truly is a monster living here.

RFynMaV.thumb.jpg.b7126d7d2488a34d08c847a47fd6a87c.jpg

The Anti-Woody

With the appearance of a cuddly bear and the smell of sweet strawberries, Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear is the villain I've been waiting for. A truly terrifying presence, Lotso makes Stinky Pete pale in comparison. He's the

version of Woody, a cynical take on "What if Woody had held onto hatred and bitterness?", the dark side to Woody's light. You get the idea. It's the ideal template for a villain to act as a foil.

 

To me, Lotso isn't scary because of his tyranny, abuse, and brainwashing; he's scary because he was twisted by something as innocent as the love of a child, or rather, the loss of it. Remember the theme that's repetitively examined in the first two films: our loved ones leaving us. This time, a new and far more cruel layer is added to that idea: our loved ones replacing us. It's a heartbreaking and frightening notion to consider. It tore Lotso apart and sent him down the deep end. He was so convinced that the world is cruel that he became hell bent on creating an entire prison out of what should've been a happy and innocent heaven. All these caused by a kid who didn't know better.

 

"We're all just trash, waiting to be THROWN AWAY!! That's all a toy is!!"

 

A Malleable Universe

Once again utilizing storytelling parallels effectively, the beginning of Toy Story 3 mirrors the beginning of Toy Story 2. In the second movie, we see Buzz Lightyear's universe coming alive with Buzz infiltrating Zurg's fortress. In the third one, it's Woody's turn as we're treated to a western adventure that's a throwback to the beginning of Toy Story 1. This opening was beautifully animated. It's also lots of fun because it turns Andy's colorful imagination into reality. We finally get to see the Evil Dr. Porkchop, Mr. Potato Head's attack dog with its built-in force field, and let's not forget, the dinosaur that eats force-field dogs! More importantly, this scene shows that the Toy Story franchise can take on multiple genres and settings.

nX0ludm.thumb.jpg.f5f025d2f7f8b4303603cfa005fc5848.jpg

Of course, this is further shown by the prison break later on, when the movie turns into a frightening thriller that's the stuff of nightmare. Toys in a prison break movie. What else could they think of next? The franchise has limitless potential as we could think of so many settings and scenarios we could put the toys in. This is further exemplified by The Lego Movie franchise, now heading towards a kung-fu movie genre of all things!

 

Now that Toy Story 4 is announced as a love story involving Bo Peep, I must say I'm intrigued by what other surprises the toy box has to hold. We could tell so many interesting stories about the other toys as well! What about a marital drama between Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head? Or what about Hamm? He's a piggy bank. What if someone decides to smash him? Or maybe he's plastic, and someone steals his pennies, turning it into a heist movie? What about Rex? Maybe he gets a "Cowardly Lion" treatment and goes on a coming of age journey to discover himself. There are so many possibilities!

 

Final Word

When all is said and done, the one thing that makes Toy Story 3 such a perfect ending to the trilogy is, appropriately enough, the final scene. After Andy gives away his toys to a kid of a brand new generation, he leaves with these parting words, "Thanks, guys." Woody returns the farewell, "So long, partner." I remember tearing up back then because I realized that I too was saying goodbye to these very real and relatable characters that I've been with since I was a mere child. I think in some way, Pixar wanted to reflect this sentiment we feel in Toy Story 3, to show their own feelings of spending 14 years with their audience since the first Toy Story, of growing up together with us.

 

The final shot you see in the movie serves as the perfect bookend: a sky full of identical clouds, just like the wallpaper in Andy's bedroom you would see in the very first shot of the first Toy Story.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My next analysis will be postponed to a much later time, as I feel that I need some space in between each analysis or I would get burned out easily. :)

 

That said, the next movie we'll be looking at is yet another exciting one. It's a film that changed the face of an entire franchise lasting 40 years.

 

By the way, I've added a "Why I Love It" one-liner description for both of the above movies (you can find it near the top of the analysis). I created this thread because I wanted to explain why I love these movies, and I feel like these analysis can sometimes miss that point, so to simplify it, I left that description there for your convenience and to remain objective with my intended goal. :)
