My face when a straight person, with historically low media literacy and overall comprehension, who fell asleep MID movie and woke up at the end explains why they didn’t like Brokeback Mountain

Movie Buffs, I need your help!

I'm looking for a movie and it's driving me insane! I have only vague memories of it because it was a borrowed VHS tape, and it's kinda stressing me out that I can't find this! I thought I had a decent lead but I finally watched it yesterday and it wasn't right, but one of the suggestions I got from Reddit wasn't right either?!

Here's what I know;

It had to be from the early 80's up to the mid 90's, since I watched it on tape in 1998.

2. It was definitely live-action with little to no animation.

3. But it's not Labyrinth, Neverending Story, or The Princess Bride.

4. The main scenes I remember are: a woman in a white dress being pursued by men on horseback, the same woman running through a snowy landscape, and the same woman falling in a pond and being rescued. This is very important because I have a distinct vision of her dress flowing and swirling in the water.

5. There were Unicorns? Or maybe just white horses? Involved.

Someone suggested Legend with Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, and Tim Curry, which was incredibly close but not quite right because Princess Lili never fell into a pond and had to be saved? Jack dove in for the ring but Lili never fell in, which is crucial to my memory.

Today I watched Ladyhawke with Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer, and Michelle Phifer, which was incredibly sexy and powerful and had some elements that seemed familiar, but Legend was a lot closer but missed the most important scene in my mind.

Does anyone have any clue what I'm talking about?!

Oh, I’m gonna eat this UP! This is a three course meal and I’m excited. Two of my favorite people on the planet 🤗🥰

my source of adrenaline comes from pulling a blank face and lying straight to my friends' faces when they ask me if a character dies

my husband made his very first youtube video and i would be SO GRATEFUL if you guys checked it out !!! He worked so hard on it. 

I always tell people that one of my favorite things about Oliver is the way he talks about movies. I’ve never met anyone more romantic about them than he is. No matter the film, he can always find something to like. It’s not just that he wants to give filmmakers the benefit of the doubt, but he can truly connect to the essence of a story’s intention and identify the most beautiful themes. (And I’m not gonna lie, it can be annoying when I just want to be a hater…)

He has an enviable memory when it comes to remembering the plots, cast lists, release years, and award history of pretty much every movie he’s ever seen. He’s so many people’s go-to guy when it comes to movie recommendations, and I can’t help but be so proud of him whenever I hear him discussing his thoughts with other people. The best part is that he will never make you feel bad about your own opinions; he loves hearing other perspectives, is open to having his mind changed, and genuinely just wants to talk about his favorite thing in the world: Movies.

When he told me he was thinking of starting a youtube movie review channel, it felt like a perfect fit. I almost can’t believe he hadn’t done it sooner!

I love this guy. I think he’s so fun to listen to. And he has such a sweet perspective that I think you’ll like him too. I hope you can all take a few mins to watch his first video, like, and subscribe — And if movie reviews just aren’t your thing, at least let it play in the background!

PSA about movies/books

You're not a fake fan if you've read the books but never seen the movies

You're not a fake fan if you've watched the movies but never read the books

You don't have to watch/read something just because you like it's equivalent.

Movies are always different from the source material, in movies characters might be the opposite of how we imagine them to look like. And it's ok if you don't like that.

For example I myself am a huge movie buff and a bookwork but I also have different opinions

I love the book "The Picture of Dorian Gray" but I don't ever want to watch the movie - in the movie Dorian Gray just doesn't fit the way I pictured him

I love the Harry potter movies, but I've only read the first 2 books, and I don't really plan on reading the rest, - because I like the way the movies make me feel

I also watched "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" movie before i read the book. - And I like both, but I'll still watch the movie over reading the book

Ichi the Killer (2001)

Takashi Miike

— The Age of Adaline (2015)

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO IS CONNECTING THIS???

This bros being a POS and saying he needs to be in the same breath as Mona Lisa right??

THIS IS IN FIGHT CLUB

It was one of my favorite quotes and this was one of my favorite movies so it immediately chimed in when I was watching the glass onion. Is this on purpose?... Either way I didn't know this was something I had been waiting for until after I heard it.

Not to be a spoiler alert but I can't not talk about it.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR LETTERBOXD TO ADD SHOWS TO THEIR CATALOGUE

IF ONLY THEY HAD DONE THIS FOREVER AGO; I AM MAKING A NOTE OF DATES IN PREPARATION FOR ACCURATE LOGGING

When a character thinks or knows they’re being betrayed so they turn their knife to the person they thought would never hurt them and they’re all like

“Tell me the truth!”

And

“You LIED to me”

And they’re mad and upset and you can see the heartbreak portrayed in the characters face.

THAT is the film drama I need I CRAVE

Going to see the lost boys in the theater tonight and I’m beyond excited. Going with a friend and kinda doing a closet cosplay of Mike. I’m going to explode.

Name your favorite actor’s four best performances.

I’ll go first:

Why is Maurice (1987) such a devastating movie? (So many spoilers ahead)

First, it's a historical film because it's based off a book that's over a hundred years old. It's based off of the authors life being scared to be in love with a man while the Ocsar Wilde trials were happening. Written in 1913-14, it was only able to be published a year after the author died, in 1971.

The film was made with so much passion. And you can see it in the production and acting. Hugh Grant and James Wilby both do such an amazing job acting as though they have this beautiful, passionate love that goes on for years. Only until Clive (Hugh Grant) decides that it's not worth it to hide their love, so they should break up and marry women. You can see in Clives body language that when he and Maurice start talking again, he's still not quite over Maurice (I have no doubt that Clive was possibly bi, but I'm not here to speculate). And Maurice never quite gets over Clive, so he sends himself to conversion therapy. This just makes him and his platonic time with Clive absolutely miserable. And then when Clive, in a moment of weakness, makes Maurice kiss his hand, they both make eachother suffer. They know in that moment that they want a romantic embrace that had comforted them so many years ago, but if they were to let that happen, they'd lose everything for it. So they suffer in silence as their love turns into a bitter sweet feeling.

In the same scene that the kiss on the hand happens, you can see that Maurice is writing a tragic letter. My belief is that this is possibly a suicide note from his depression of being forced to repress his homosexuality. This could also be from his broken heart. Maurice never truly gets over his broken heart until Alec Scudder (Rupert Graves) comes in his room and they sleep together. Maurice knows this is a bad idea, and tries to cut him off. But, Alec is desperately in love with him. This leads him to attempting to blackmail Maurice, but they both end up together.

When Maurice tells Clive that he's no longer in therapy and that he's in love with Alec, Clive laughs. But later you can see he's hurt by this, angered almost.

I honestly thought that Alec was the wrong choice for Maurice and that Clive and him would've been much happier together. But Clive always was seeking a woman to marry, and that would've also been the wrong choice. There's no right, no wrong choice. It's all happy and sad and everything in between. It makes me feel so much passion and sadness.

I'm genuinely sorry for anyone who read that entire rant.
