“Trying to ‘engage’ with fascism is like trying to have an intimate emotional relationship with a running chainsaw. The very act of framing fascism as a reasonable partner for dialogue is an act of propaganda that validates and normalizes fascism.”

Karl Bode on the Esquire interview with Cook re Apple’s 50th Anniversary.

The Revenant by Alejandro González Iñárritu, 2015

✅ It’s entertaining and both DiCaprio & Hardy are great, but—

❌ —it’s half-assed. Smith’s script is solid and predictable as usual, but less interesting than Glass’s own story; Lubezki’s cinematography often punches below its weight; foley’s mediocre; & historical inaccuracies abound.

❌ Except for the outstanding battle cut, editing jumps between settings sans dramatic buildups & largely drops the ball on the pacing.

Score’s great.
