Michael Fassbender

I'm seriously curious about it. I really want to know.
Not as much as I'm curious about Weightless, just because Malick is always a big "?" For me. I think cinematography in his movies is always so good it can shade the story helping his movies being more appreciated cause the stories in themselves are not always that extraordinary. I hope I'm going to love it at least as much as I loved Tree Of Life. I hope it makes me forget about To the Wonder.

Tau is another big "?" but I'm kinda interested in the story.

I'm hoping Weightless at least has the visual beauty and memorable soundtrack of Days of Heaven.
TAU is interesting for me because the content and cultural themes, as well as the filming locations are close to home.

Anyway, I expect Michael's performance to be great as always in both [emoji3] And the rest of the cast in TAU and Weightless can be relied on to deliver the goods too!

Exactly. Usually, when the cast is very good and the plot seems to be original, I tend to have pretty huge expectations. Sometimes I found myself being a bit disappointed, I hope it won't happen with these movies.

I'm already prepared to Weightless and Malick's surprising ability to make gorgeous movies and meaningless ones, hoping this one will be a gorgeous one. [emoji106][emoji6]

Ages ago. I remember reading about it.
I'm so glad they casted Rooney Mara, I love her. + she's Michael's (and Gosling's)lover in the movie, right? Cool, I like her.
I'm not a big fan of Natalie Portman, her last movies weren't very good IMO (Jane Got a Gun[emoji37]) but she's a good actress after all.

Did you see Malick's previous work?

The one that I know better is the Thin Red Line. But it is not as good as Saving Private Ryan.

In between he made Voyage of Time - I supposed is a break from movie making in order to have new drive and inspiration. Take a break for longer journey.

I know that is considered beautiful and I haven't seen it yet!!
I saw Tree Of Life, To The Wonder and the other with Farrell... The New World.
Great cinematography.
tree of life was my favourite, to the wonder my least favourite. Tree of life is one of the best movies ever seen, to the wonder one of the worst. Lol. It's weird. I reckon he's a great film maker but I don't think I like his way to use gorgeous cinematography as a substitute of substance, in some cases... Well that's just what I feel and what I read around, nothing I can "prove", just a personal feeling.

I have the same problem with Ridley Scott, whom I like but sometimes disappoints me with *meh* choices IMO.

Luckily I'm one of those who liked Prometheus and didn't dislike The Counselor at all. Did you see/like The Counselor?

Good [emoji106][emoji6] I liked it cause she focuses a lot on Michael.

If great cinematography without substance , it is more like some traveling programs introducing tourist attraction. I read some articles said that he made a documentary in between is a much needed break to get new inspiration.
Don't like Counselor - kind of do not like those movies with ....rough sides and violence , sxx.

Yeah, except for some parts which I found really sexy and real (great chemistry between Michael and Penelope, almost unbelievable Bardem was in the same room while they filmed the first scene!) especially in the director's extended cut -way better than the version showed in theatres- the movie was rough and violent in some parts. It was more a verbal raw violence and some strong scenes... But that was probably what Scott wanted to show us, and most of all the message McCarthy wanted to convey. I didnt love it, but I didn't hate it either, as many people did.
I found it a little bit too much for me, and definitely not my genre, but I think it was somehow underrated..

And yeah Malick's movies are more like "documentaries" sometimes, especially in these last years. I remember Tree of life focusing on microscopic scientific scenes of natural processes. But it was beautiful to see.
I need to rewatch it.
I don't have any idea about Weightless, I just saw tons and tons of pics which i found interesting. Also curious to see Florence Welch! Malick is so so so weird. [emoji57]
May the movie go to Berlin next year??

 

[FassbenderLover]

There must be something special about Italian reporters that enables them to get Michael to talk about "love at first sight". He seems awfully short with English speaking reporters

I like how she said "it was very easy to unite" BEFORE saying "but that's quite personal". LOL

Meaning, they hooked up day 1 on set LOL
Whatever they had in the beginning fizzled looong time ago. Now its all about staying together to promote a movie. If the movie doesn't get any nods for next awards season they might split before year's end, if not, then after awards season. (HUGE) IF anything else happens, ie engagement, its for publicity then split after awards season. I do not see them getting married at all when neither one is ready. Or even like each other at this point

This year's Voyage of Time seems interesting. I supposed it is about space and time travel.
His other movies look odd - the subject matters etc. and his movie production lead time is just too too long. By the time the movie is out, audience lose 70% of the enthusiasm already!

Knight of cups? I don't know, I can't tell one from the other anymore tbh.. It's difficult to follow his weird way of working.
Did you remember when at a certain point Michael didn't know if he was going to be in the movie anymore?[emoji33]
And tbh I don't know how much screen time does each of them have, the cast is huge, tons of actors -another thing I usually don't really like.. I find It dispersive.. Except for Sorderbergh's movies, I think he knows how to direct lots of actors at the same time and I love the way he does it. But again let's see, I can't say anything yet..

Really?! Bradem must have a very strong mind!

Violence, rough.....all these are like you add great deal of chill , pepper, beef , chicken, pork, herbs , cheese, pineapples , olive all into one 8' pizza - rather strong taste and hard to chew

Wondering even the actors don't know the whole story. I am imaging they were not given full scripts, today received 2 pages tomorrow got another 3 pages and the filming didn't follow sequel etc.
the best part is the actors mostly likely have no idea at all about how much scene time they will have in the final product.
