Jacob’s Ladder (1990) - Director Adrian Lyne

Jacob’s ladder is known for it’s disturbing imagery and for the story behind how it was writen by Bruce Joel Rubin. The viewer sees through the lens of a Vietnam war veteran suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. Not knowing whether things are in the past or present, this film depicts the experience of ptsd and how the person’s reality can get distorted and unwelcoming. Sometimes, the viewer can even wonder if the protagonist is even alive or if he is awake or dreaming.

Tenet (2020) Director Christopher Nolan

I found the music in this film so captivating and blending really well with the cinematography to create the aesthetic characterizing Nolan’s eye. However, I missed the epic landscape shots recognizable in his other movies, such as ‘Inception’, or my all time favourite in dramatic landscape shots, ‘Dunkirk’. The angles in ‘Tenet’ were more focused on the characters, and they were SO many close-ups so you could really see their expressions. A fact which made the audience even more immersed with the characters, and did a great job on transferring their confusion to the viewer as the movie went by... So if you want to keep losing your mind for 2 and a half hours, I recommend seeing this film!

Green Aesthetic in Lana Wachowski’s ‘The Matrix’ (1999) 

The green tint is used for the scenes inside the Matrix, to transfer the feeling of being inside the program, whilst the real world gets a more realistic tone.

“Blade Runner,” Ridley Scott’s visionary 1982 dystopian noir, is a movie with a mystique that now outstrips its reality. It’s a film of majestic science-fiction metaphor, beginning with its opening shot: the perpetual nightscape of Los Angeles in 2019, the smog turned to black, the fallout turned to rain, the smokestacks blasting fireballs that look downright medieval against a backdrop of obsidian blight. “Blade Runner” wasn’t the first — or last — image of a desiccated future, but it remains one of the only movies that lets you feel the mechanical-spiritual decay. There’s a touch of virtual reality to the way we experience it, sinking into those blackened textures, reveling in the details (the corporate Mayan skyscrapers, the synthetic sushi bars, the Times Square meets Third World technolopolis clutter), seeing an echo of our own world in every sinister facet.
