In 2019, 31 years after the nuking of the city, Kaneda, a bike gang leader, tries to save his friend Tetsuo from a secret government project. He battles anti-government activists, greedy politicians, irresponsible scientists and a powerful military leader until Tetsuo's supernatural powers suddenly manifest.

Highly recommend it if you never seen it before.Edit: It's also important to mention there has not even been an anime remotely close to this high level of detail and smooth art style. I truly respected anime after Akira. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3oIvN9n
Is there a more gut punching ending to a film than 'The Mist'(2007)?
Its 13 years old now, and I still cant think of an ending to a film that fucked its main character harder. The kid waking up, the view moving to outside the car. The gun shots lighting up the cabin of the car. Then the anguish of David Drayton as feels every raw emotion sitting in the car having killed 4 people including his young son in order to save them from a horrible death. He gets out the car and screams for the monsters to come and save him from his pain. These things that he had spend the movie trying to escape, now offering him his only escape from the pain of living. The rumble of something approaches. He prepares himself for his end, hopeful it will be quick. The mist parts bringing into view, not the saving that he wanted so desperately from a monster but something much, much worse. An army convey beating the monsters backs and taking people to safety.He falls to his knees, his pain made a million fold. If only they had waited just a little longer, the thought that will kill him for the rest of his life. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3efd28H
Willem Dafoe in "The Lighthouse"
Watched "The Lighthouse" last night and was absolutely blown away by his performance. Why in the (expletive) wasn't he nominated for an Academy Award? It looks like the film was nominated for best cinematography, but can anyone explain this obvious snub (in my opinion)? Is there a tendency not to nominate horror movies in general? Is there some kind of history between the Academy and Dafoe I'm unaware of? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3egXwZL
