watching a mini documentary on how they made The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, and I know this is like obvious but I think what really makes or breaks a movie is if it's a collective passion project for everyone involved, not just the director.
its fun listening to the behind the scenes of TCM2 or Bride Of Reanimator because the teams worked so hard not because they were pressured to by the director or under threat of losing their jobs, they worked so hard (like getting little sleep to work on things, working in bad conditions, etc) because they genuinely wanted to see a movie get made
and I really think thats the difference between like. what we see now where workers get treated terribly *without their permission*. these guys worked their tails off because it was fun and they were paid enough and they were excited about the movies
I think a lot about Pacific Rim where Del Toro individually treated every cgi artist like a genius, and let them do their own thing, and thats why the movie looks fantastic literally like 12 years later
even in something like TCM2, which is kinda like a b-movie sequel deal, the team talks about how much fun everyone was having on set and if someone genuinely didnt wanna do something, then they did something different. and even though the movie isnt "good", its a great movie. yknow
sure theres been lots of movies made where a lot of people didnt have fun or were treated terribly and the movie turned out *good* (like The Shining, or even the first TCM), those movies just have a different feel to them than something everyone was having a good time making
I think it humanizes movies in a way and takes them out of the weird hollywood idol pedestal when individual workers are recognized, not just actors

I remember when I was a kid my dad had a Dawn of The Dead shirt and it said on the front "when there's no more room in hell..the dead will walk the earth" and I thought about that all the time like I was worried about it

my only nitpick with The Boy And The Heron is that the Heron should have remained a scaryass tooth beast the entire movie

evil dead or any media involving fighting demons is way cooler if a character is religious and I'm not just saying that as a christian ok listen to me
regular ol guy fighting demons:
- sympathetic to demons, allowing them to win
-uses basic ass weapons
-???
-ok
religious character fighting demons:
-has special weapons
-has weight in the spiritual realm, on equal or greater footing than the danger
-never sympathizes, no mercy
-keeping your faith and moral code even when dying is badass in every context
this doesn't even just apply to Christianity it can be any religion in fiction ok. grabbing you by the face

if you remove christianity or at least the question of the afterlife from goth all you have are bats and the color black I guess
