The Crow was released 29 years ago on May 11, 1994.

On March 31 1993: Brandon Lee was accidentally shot in the abdomen by a defective prop gun while on set, and tragiclaly passed away from his injuries.He was only 28 years old.

As Lee had finished most of his scenes before his death, the film was completed through script rewrites, a stunt double, and digital effects. The Crow is dedicated to Lee and his fiancée, Eliza Hutton.

RIP Brandon Lee 1965-1993

The Crow, May 11 1994

The First Horror Movie

The Cabinet of Dr.Calligari

Director and German Expressionist Robert Wiene makes use of expressionist architecture and narrative through extreme distortion of both the physical set of the movie and it’s plot. The Cabinet of Dr.Calligari is famously recognized as the very first horror movie made in 1920 written by Hans Janowitz and Carl Mayer. The Story follows Cesar, a sleepwalker and his keeper, Dr.Calligari. Cesar is said to be all knowing and is later revealed as a murderer.

the absolute lack of media literacy from people who haven’t even seen oppenheimer is making my head spin but whatever

#like - every three seconds it’s someone talking about how it’s us military prop or it doesn’t cover the atrocities well etc etc #when a) it is so definitely NOT us propoganda- it is so clearly critiquing the us military and oppenheimer himself #and b) it doesn’t cover every small detail of the impacts of the bomb bc that’s not what the film is about #it is a screenplay adapted from a biography on oppenheimer #it is about him - a biopic - and how he got to the point of making atomic weapons and ends on a note of undeniable horror #it is a movie that constantly bombards you with anxiety bc you have the burden of knowing the future #it is not in any way forgiving anything - it acknowledges the fucked up nature of the situation #hell it’s mostly a courtroom drama that shows how fucked up mccarthyism was #i’m a big history buff - so this plays a lot into it #but y’all have GOT to just stop seeinf things on a surface level and engage with media w/ a deeper mindset of just ‘thing bad’ #anyway - sorry it bothers me a lot #there are genuine criticims that can be leveled at both nolan and this film and i have seen them #im not sitting here calling the end all be all of cinema - but it’s a well made movie w/ something interesting to say and evaluate #not wanting to see it is one thing - by all means - but wringing it through the mud w/ absolutely no knowledge of the actual content of - #the film itself is actively annoying #media literacy #oppenheimer #mini rant
