Miller's Girl Review/Recap

Spoilers for the full movie!!!

No seriously...I spoil the full movie, so if you've not seen it, turn back!!

Cairo is 18 years old bibliophile and inspiring author, who is extremely intelligent, lonely and bored of her life in Tennessee, Cairo's rich lawyer parents completely abandon her, leaving her to dwell in their mansion like a ghost left behind. Cairo seems convinced they don't care about her. That dynamic isn't explored any further sadly.

Cairo is striving to escape to Yale but struggling with her entry essay. To write about her greatest accomplishment. Cairo realizes she has none, as she’s been insulated in the bubble of her privilege or as best friend Winnie calls her “just another run-of-the-mill generationally wealthy gal living in a haunted ancestral mansion,”

The college essay is actually the catalyst for the movie. Cairo needing inspiration and along comes failed writer Jonathan Miller.

Miller is stuck in his mundane life as a literature teacher, his writing career amounting in a poorly received book and a wife who is more focused on her own career and any available alcohol than placating her husband.It’s unsurprising that Jonathan becomes drawn to Cairo — though his wife exudes sexuality, a good portion of the movie she's in her lingerie, it seems to be no match for Cairos charms.

Cairo is like a breath of fresh air to Jonathan, a young attractive girl who intellectually seems to be on the same wavelength as him and appreciates his opinion and wisdom. He thinks he finds in her a willing protégé into whom he can pour his own unrealized ambitions as a novelist.

Jonathan lets himself be seduced by Cairo’s Intelligence in literacy and flattery. Her being complimentary of his own book strokes his ego, not to mention her receptiveness to his attention.

Somewhere along the line Miller forgets himself and his boundaries as an educator, treating Cairo not as a student under his care but as a peer and fellow writer.

The movie throws in moments of mutual attraction and showcases Miller's descent into crossing the line of appropriately, keeping on pushing his own choice of college on her even after she said she was dead set on yale, sharing a cigarette multiple times, inviting the girl to an event after school filled with Miller's friends, looking like a first date as they squeeze next to one another during the reading.

With midterms looming, Jonathan gives Cairo a special assignment: write an essay in the style of an author she admires. An assignment that will soon prove fatal to his career and possibly his freedom.

A mix-up in the classroom lands Cairo’s cell phone in his possession and he breaks another unspoken boundary, he drives to his student house who he is aware lives alone to return it to her.

What follows is completely up to interpretation of the audience whether or not the two of them confront their mutual attraction. Whether the pair actually shared a forbidden kiss or if they even went further is up for debate. Something may have actually happened between them at her house. I wouldn’t be surprised if his ‘fantasy’ is actually him recalling their night together when he reads her story.

Cairo delivers her midterm essay inspired by Henry Miller, sent with the note ‘love, Cairo’.

Feeling underappreciated by his wife as usual Jonathan lurks to his man cave where he proceeds to read and masterbate to Cairo’s essay, whether Jonathan is recalling the night or imagining this would've happened between the two is never stated.

The story in which she thinly disguises Jonathan and herself as her subject and proceeds to write a smutty story almost fanfiction-like of a liaison between the two protagonists.

This finally shakes out Jonathan of his lust filled head to put a stop to things, but unfortunately for him he's already gone too far. He's toyed with Cairos growing feelings much less (potentially) with her body. As the two of them try to navigate the repercussions of their inappropriate intimacy.

Jonathan tells Cairo to scrap the essay and write a new one; the complete turn around shocks Cairo.

One day he was this cool teacher who's her friend and potentially her lover, he gives her attention and flirts with her and then next day he threatens her of failing the class. threatening to fail Cairo over the story is the worst thing he could have done in Cairos mind. If he had done it, she would've not been able to go to the college of her choice, Something extremely important to her, which he's well aware of, maybe restricting her to go to any college at all. Leaving her stranded in Tennessee would have been her worst nightmare.

What follows is the complete ruin of any type of relationship the pair had, Cairo is angry and vengeful. Jonathan's betrayal blindsighted her and as the intelligent girl she is feels that blow to her pride and her feelings. Cairo let's rip at Miller, all his insecurities laid bare, Miller eventually calls Cairo a child and she calls him a coward.

Him acknowledging her as a child is sickening now that the viewer has seen his actions throughout the movie. To him she's a femme fatale, a fantasy when he wants her to be but when things get real and serious, she's just a naive child and he knows better.

Cairo for all her scheming is still a teenage girl who for the first time has her heartbroken, and that heartbreak turns to cold rage and to get her revenge not even her best friend Winnie is safe from her plans.

Winnie is an interesting character throughout the movie that doesn't get the screen time and depth she deserves.

Winnie is a known lesbian according to Cairo, though Winnie playfully disagrees, claiming to like both as she tells Cairo of her flirtations with high school coach and Jonathan's friend Boris. Although Winnie claims to be interested in Boris, it is obvious to both the viewer and Cairo that Winnie has unrequited love or lust for Cairo.

Cairo offers to make out with Winnie and send a picture to Boris to try to get the coach jealous, perhaps getting her revenge at that moment at the coach rather than her desired revenge against Jonathan. Cairo manages to manipulate Winnie's obvious feelings for her, kissing surprisingly lustfully and hard since it was a supposed ruse, however that moment soon breaks and Cairo dismisses Winnie coldly.

Boris is shown to be a complete hypocrite. His boundaries with students are just as bad as Jonathan despite his denial. The first meeting we see of him and Jonathan is Boris stealing Cairo's erotic novel she had left behind and reading it aloud, completely ignoring any decency of Cairo's privacy. His relationship to our knowledge doesn't go as far as Cairo's and Miller's. However texting a student's personal cell at night is a violation in itself. At the end of the movie he tells Jonathan that he “never crossed the line” in complete denial of how close he could have been in the same boat as Jonathan if Winnie didn't protect him from Cairo's threats. Winnie and Cairo's friendship becomes a casualty as Cairo blackmails her silence by threatening to out Winnies situation with Boris.

His ‘survival’ for Jonathan's public fall from Grace.

The telling thing is that Cairo didn't lie when talking to the Dean.

The fact that Cairo told the total truth to the dean leads me to believe that the kiss we saw wasn't real, she was all set to ruin his life and mentioning the kiss would've been the sure way to do that, however she didn't mention it once.

I believe Cairo is many things..but I don't believe she is a liar.

Honestly kiss or no kiss, it doesn't really matter.

Even more confirmation that Miller is not the victim of this story. The dean was asking all the right questions to find out if he did anything inappropriate. The fact that every answer she gave was the truth and the dean looked disgusted is proof in itself. She had a meeting with Cairo first, and Jonathan confirmed everything that Cairo said but was trying to excuse his actions the entire time. The dean thankfully didn't buy into his excuses.

Jonathan Miller is the Villain of this story, his choices were what lead him on this path, he could have done what any respectable teacher would have done and shut Cairo's flirtations down, but his ego and attraction won over his common sense.

Cairo’s actions do not cancel out her victimhood.

The Ending however was a bit too ambiguous for my taste. Through it all, Jenna Ortega is captivating enough to keep me watching. Freeman is completely overshadowed by not only Ortega’s performance, but most of the supporting cast. “like imitation crab in gas station sushi” is a very accurate description to his portrayal of the very one note character.

Cairo Sweet may be the character I will defend absolutely. A morally grey protagonist who deserved better.

Godzilla Raids Again, 1955

Godzilla returns with a vengeance, and this time he’s not alone.

With the success of Gorjira, Toho wanted to give new fans more, but how would they after Godzilla was killed? Executive producer Iwao Miri told Tomoyuki Tomaka to start production on another Godzilla movie. Miri wanted a reasonable explanation for a revival of the great monster, and Tomaka went to work immediately.

Ishiro Honda was pegged to direct the movie, but he was working on another film. Tomaka collected the creative team from the first movie to help and a new director, Motoyoshi Oda. After weeks, the creative team finished the screenplay and production started. Here is the magic they created:

Marine Fisheries KK in Osaka is a successful fish manufacturing company makes fish products. It’s success relies on two pilots searching for pockets of fish in the Pacific Ocean. Shoichi Tsukioka (Hiroshi Koizumi), and Koji Kobayashi (Minoru Chiaki), report their findings to the control operator who is the owner’s daughter, Hidemi Yajima (Setsuko Wakayama). Hidemi and Tsukioka are a couple madly in love.

On a routine flight one day, Kobayashi’s plane has engine problems and he makes an emergency landing on a nearby remote island, Iwato Island. He calls headquarters to report his situation; Hidemi informs Tsukioka who then flies to the island to rescue his friend. Kobayashi is spotted, and Tsukioka lands nearby. Just as they were leaving, strange noises from beyond a cliff caught their attention, so they go and check it out. They’re shocked to find two monsters fighting, one is recognized as Godzilla, but the other one isn’t familiar. The men watch in horror as the battle rages on. The mobsters fight so fiercely that they fall off the cliff and into the ocean. Tsukioka and Kobayashi escape unscathed and quickly return to Osaka and report this to authorities.

The JSDF, Japanese Self Defense Forces, and a team of scientists led by Dr. Yamane to discuss the mobsters on Iwato Island. Dr. Yamane confirmed the one monster is in fact Godzilla and the new one as Anguirus based on a report written by a Polish scientist. Great monsters do in fact exist. Godzilla and Anguirus had been dormant underground for centuries until they were disturbed by atomic blasts from nuclear testing performed by the American Navy in the Pacific. (Brilliant!)

This time, Osaka was the unfortunate location for Godzilla’s raid because it was closest to Iwato Island. The defense team reviewed footage from the last Godzilla attack in Tokyo a year ago. The monster was killed by the Oxygen Destroyer, and a powerful weapon like that doesn’t exist. How would Osaka defend itself? Dr. Yamane suggested that Godzilla was light sensitive, observed from the Tokyo footage, and a citywide blackout would be the best defense. They could use flares to lure it to Osaka and use their military weapons to defeat Godzilla.

The JASDF, Japanese Air Self Defense Force, sends planes to search for Godzilla and he’s spotted moving towards the Kii Channel between Wakayama Prefecture and Shikoku. Mr. Yamaji, Hidemi’s father, is concerned because Godzilla could destruct his valued fishing production that he couldn’t afford to lose. Godzilla then changes his course and is now heading towards Osaka Bay. Authorities order an evacuation and Tsukiaka and Koboyashi go to the cannery with Mr. Yamaji. Meanwhile, convicts are being escape from an evacuation transport. They lead the police in a chase and crash into an oil refinery. The explosion attracts Godzilla and he goes towards it.

Mr. Yamaji and everyone evacuate the cannery and unbeknownst to them, the escaped convicts enter the business to hide. But no sooner than later, the convicts are killed when the monsters destroy the business. Destroying everything in their path the battle ends for Anguirus when Godzilla kills him with his atomic breath. Godzilla returns the sea.

Later, Mr. Yamaji relocates his business to Hokkaido. Tsukioka is reunited with Tajima, a friend from college and the war; Tajima works for the JASDF. The friends join Yamaji and friends for dinner. It was there that Kobayashi tells Hidemi he’s fallen for a woman, but doesn’t say whom. She tries to persuade him to tell her, but he won’t. The dinner party falls silent when a news flash reports a ship was sunk by Godzilla.

Tsukioka volunteers and helps the JASDF search for Godzilla the morning after the sinking. He flies out to the location of the downed ship and spots Godzilla at Kamiko Island. Kobayashi joins Tsukioka who is trying to prevent Godzilla from leaving the island. Meanwhile, Hidemi finds Kobayashi’s diary and finds her picture is in it. She becomes emotional learning she’s the one he loves, but she is in love with Tsukioka. Kobayashi joins his friend circling Godzilla but is struck by an atomic blast and crashes into the mountain peak. The crash causes an avalanche that buries Godzilla and this is how the JASDF decides to use this method to stop Godzilla.

Everyone who knew Kobayashi is distraught, especially Hidemi. Tsukioka wants to aid the JASDF, but Tajima won’t allow him to because of Kobayashi. The JASDF flies to Kamiko Island and bombs the ground creating a wall of fire to prevent Godzilla from leaving while another group of planes shoots missiles into the mountaintop causing avalanches to subdue the great monster. Tsukioka flies out to the island to witness the attack and watches Godzilla fire one last blast before being completely buried by the downfall of snowy rubble. Knowing Godzilla is defeated, Tsukioka tells his best friend, Kobayashi, that they’ve won and he can rest in peace.

Wrap up

Godzilla Raids Again was released in Japan April 24, 1955 and an English-dubbed version was released by Warner Bros. in America May 21, 1959 under a different name: Gigantis, the Fire Monster.

The Japanese version was released in Japanese-American theaters prior to the new adaptation and the audiences reception wasn’t received with the same excitement as was the first movie, but it did draw a moderate amount of money compared to what the first one profited. Tanaka claimed that the creating team had very little time to make this movie and he didn’t much care for it personally.

Despite the moderate profit and less enthusiastic reception, the movie is credited for paving the road for other great Godzilla movies.

I did enjoy the movie. Despite the mad rush deadline to meet, I think Tanaka created a good enough story that allows a scientific reason for Godzilla’s existence.

I enjoyed how the original movie and this one had similar romance dilemmas. The first movie, Emiko and Ogata are in love, and Dr. Serizawa is a friend who likes Emiko. Serizawa dies to save Japan. This movie, Hidemi and Tsukiyaka are in love and their friend Kobiasha likes Hidemi. Kobiasha’s death inspired a defense tactic to defeat Godzilla. Actors in both movies were outstanding. They made us believe Godzilla was real, none more so than the extras recruited for evacuation scenes.

Romance February: Omnibus

As I prepare for the future of this blog (and there is a future, if anybody's wondering), I find myself looking back at the good times, when I had the time to watch a movie a day and write a blog about it, which...yeah, wasn't even sustainable for me in 2021, so make of that what you will. ANYWAY, I decided that I would bring all of these posts together in an omnibus of sorts, so anybody that wanted to read these posts could find them all easily in one place. This, alongside other archives, are going to be pinned to the top of my page, and will serve as a long index of the films in the appropriate genres. The goal? To extend these archives as I go along, and have this running index for my blog. And again...there will be additions...

SO! With that, feel free to check out these films in the romance genre, which is somewhat...difficult to define, honestly. Romance overlaps with a bunch of other genres, so even films that put the love story at the center of the narrative have more to them by necessity. So, just figure these as films whose narrative is driven primarily by romantic tension and motivation. Any films you'd like to see in this list? Comment, reblog, message me, whatever! I'm always open to suggestions to add to my ever-building master list of romance films. And check out the other indices to come!

!SCREAM SPOILERS!

text below cut 🤍

Scream Review!

Ik screams old and everyones seen it but i still want to write about it 😋

I love love love the starting scebe yk with casey.

I dont have many complaints on it and i think that they got the memo across of stu and billy being the killers in a really good way like they made it pretty obvious billy was one but youd still think maybe sidneys just paranoid and i think stu was like the shocking wow omg what killer when he was revealed but when you look back it makes sense bc he was so cocky about the killings

The 'he killed my tatum' broke my heart though:((

I also like the connection with billy and sidneys moms dead but it also makes you think he wanted a bit of a sexual relationship and sidney said no and that makes me wonder what would have happened to her if she said yes?

Also gale weathers is an icon forgive me for probably spelling it wrong

I adore the 'BOOGAH! You die.' like oml

So yeah i have like no complaints my only question is how tf did Casey's parents not see her dead boyfriend in the back yard through the huge glass window, is it suggested that they moved him aswell as casey? But also how did they not see the big bad masked man dragging their daughter across the front lawn?? Is it movie logic or did i miss something yk?

Randy is so underrated too like hes so funny and survived a gunshot to the torso (i dont totally remember where it hit him)

I loved Tatum and stus relationship they were so cute together

So yeah no real complaints great film for movie nights

Would 100% reccomend

Thats all

-Izzy

I recently watched the Avatar (blue people) sequel.

And I heard it was bad, but I did not realize how batshit off the wall bonkers insane it was.

It circles back to being entertaining purely based on WTF unhinged energy.

While the first movie was visually interesting but had a super boring and predictable plot, this one reads like a campy cult classic.

Spoilers

So do you remember how in the first movie Segorni Weaver’s character (don’t know the character’s name, don’t know how to spell the actress’s name too lazy to look up either) died and they tried to use the magic tree to transfer her soul into the Navi body but it didn’t work and both bodies died?

Well it turns out they (the team of unnamed human scientists) saved her dead Navi body in a test tube and the dead body somehow got pregnant and gave birth.

This happened in the first two minutes of an almost 3 hour movie.

(Don’t worry, they don’t actually show the birth. They explain this in a voiceover. This movie is campy and violent but not overly gorey.)

Throughout the movie other characters tease the corpse daughter by guessing who her necrophiliac father might be, but her origin is never actually explained.

There’s a lot more things in this movie that made me pause it to do the Jim from the Office face, but I don’t feel like typing out an entire essay right now. If anyone is interested I can add more examples tomorrow.

#my post #text post #avatar #avatar the blue people #avatar the way of water #I watched this movie on an airplane instead of sleeping because I can’t sleep on airplanes #camp #sci fi and fantasy #cheesy movies #movies #film #lol wtf #things that make you go hmmm #movie recap

Unpopular Opinion: Movie recaps are a sign of people being either too busy/broke to watch movies.

#i'll probably lose followers for saying this #i have mixed feelings about movie recaps #on one hand it is nice to see media being inclusive to people with shorter attention spans #on the other hand it's a huge contrast to when we used to teach kids how to increase their attention spans #allowing people to have shorter attention spans could be either really good or really bad for society as a whole #movie recap

Don't Look Up - Movie Review

Don't Look Up - Two astronomers go on a massive publicity tour to warn people about an incoming comet that will destroy planet Earth

Hello and welcome to the Cinemagic Recaps. Today, we'll watch Don't Look Up, which will be released in 2021. In the movie "Startup," Kate Dibiasky, a doctoral candidate at MSU, uses the Subaru Telescope in Michigan to find a previously unidentified comet. Dr. Randall Mindy, her professor, gave the comet Kate's name, and the calculations that followed It will collide with the Earth in approximately six months, according to her lecturer Dr. Randall Mindy, and it is big enough to wipe out the entire globe.

The chief of NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office, Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe, accompanies Kate and Mindy as they deliver their findings to the White House when NASA validates their findings. President Janie Orlean and her son, Chief of Staff Jason, do not respond to them.

Teddy implores Kate and Randall to inform the media about the situation, which they do on a morning talk program. Kate loses her cool and shouts about the threat when hosts Jack Bremmer and Brie Evantee approach the subject lightly. The general populace approves of Randall's appearance. Actual information regarding the comet's threat receives little public attention, and Jocelyn Calder, the director of NASA in Orlean and a major supporter to the city with little astronomical training, dismisses the warning.

When information about Orlean's sexual relationship with her Supreme Court nominee Sheriff Conlon comes to light, she uses the scandal to her advantage by verifying the threat and revealing a plan to use nuclear weapons to strike and redirect the comet.

The expedition is launched successfully, but Orlean abruptly cancels it after learning that the comet contains rare-earth metals worth trillions of dollars from Peter Isherwell, the millionaire CEO of BASH Cellular and another major supporter. The White House consents to employ BASH-proposed technologies in an unreviewed plan to fragment and recover the comet from the water in order to economically exploit it. Orlean appoints Randall as the National Science Advisor while ignoring Kate and Oglethorpe.

Kate makes an effort to organize public opposition to the plan but gives up when Orlean's government threatens her. Randall establishes himself as a leading voice in favor of the comet's business potential and starts dating Evantee.

There are three main schools of thought in the world: those who see the comet as a serious threat, those who reject alarmism and think that mining a destroyed comet will provide jobs, and those who reject the comet's very existence. When Kate returns to her Illinois home, her parents throw her out, and she starts dating Yule, a teenage shoplifter she meets at her retail job. Randall's wife leaves him behind and heads back to Michigan after confronting him about his affair.

Isherwell becomes enraged when Randall asks whether his technology will be able to disintegrate the comet. Finally snapping and ranting on live television, Randall finally loses it with the administration, questioning humanity's indifference and condemning Orlean for downplaying the imminent disaster.

As the comet begins to be seen from Earth, Randall makes up with Kate after being cut off from the administration. In an online protest, Randall, Kate, and Teddy urge people to "Just Look Up" and urge other nations to carry out comet interception operations. Orlean launches a "Don't Look Up" anti-campaign at the same time. Russia, India, and China prepare their own combined deflection mission after Orlean excludes them from the comet mining contract, only for their spacecraft to explode. Everyone realizes that humanity is doomed when BASH's attempt to shatter the comet also fails.

Inadvertently leaving Jason behind, Isherwell, Orlean, and other members of their elite group board a sleeper starship intended to locate an Earth-like planet. Randall declines Orlean's offer of two spaces aboard the ship in favor of one last evening with his friends and family. As predicted, the comet collides with Earth off the coast of Chile, resulting in a global catastrophe and an extinction-level event. Everyone in Randall's house perishes when the shockwave hits the building.

!WHEN YOU FINISH SAVING THE WORLD SPOILERS!

When you finish saving the world review!

I have questions

Im not sure if i love or hate this movie

But its relatable, so i kind of love it

I love how Evelyn is so obsessed with the thought of having a perfect son like kyle she dosent realise how horrible she can be too ziggy

I love how ziggy doesn't think about his mom at all becuase hes surrounded himself with his obsession with lila and his music but he ahs also convinced him self that his mom thinks him and his music are absolutely ridiculous.

And that scene where his dad asks him if hes happy and he explains his feelings, he almost looks miserable when hes brushed off and it was only becuase of that article, even when evelyn comes in and ziggys dad (i forgot his name) almost immediately refuses to talk about it.

But i feel so bad for the dad hes so overlooked because his family are kind of narcissistic and pay him no mind

But even the scene at the start where ziggy offers to show his parents his music he looks kind of upset when they brush him off, its the most heartbreaking thing to be so proud of something just for your parents to not be interested or think its stupid whenever you do try and open up to them and then they complain you dont tell them anything.

But the ending is very emotional

But ill wrap it up here

When they come to terms

-izzy
