Two films today, no shorts.
The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T is the only movie Dr Seuss ever wrote. Made in the 1950s. It reminded me a lot of this film I saw as a kid where this boy got a box and he climbed inside and became a cartoon character and had an amazing adventure. This film was nothing like that. But if I'd seen this as a child I think I would've responded to it a whole different way. But since I'm a grown up, the best bits were the atomic bomb paranoia, and the short "I think communism is evil, and I completely reject it." speech by the plumber. Would you like it? Yeah. But you'd find it a bit slow. You'd like some of the songs, for sure.
The Walker is a star packed movie from the guy who wrote Taxi Driver, and Raging Bull (and one other movie that I forget, which, including this one, make up his quartet of films about men in isolation). Not having seen either of those (I know, I know) or the other one I forget (I guess) I can't really compare. The film itself was difficult to get into at first because it's Woody Harrelson but doing a thick Virginian accent. And gay. Really, not that there's anything wrong with that. But it takes a while to forget the actor and get involved with the story. It's a bit film-noir, one of the audience during the Q&A called it byzantine (adj. highly involved or intricate) like The Big Sleep and wanted to know who the killer actually was. You would've worked out who it was, and that it didn't actually matter.
