Exploring A Dream
Darren Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream (2000) is a film that unfurls the principal characters' degenerate practices as they include themselves with a compulsion finished in misfortune. The setting is straightforward, the around-kept Brooklyn condo of old widow Sara Goldfarb (Ellen Burstyn). On the right, her child Harry (Jared Leto) turns off the TV and asks his mom for the keys to the lock, fastening it to the radiator; on the left, Sara, her nerves frayed from having seen this occasion play out time after time, withdraws into the restroom to toss out the keys to her child. The two characters are addicts somehow, and this scene sets out their separate lives: for Sara, forlorn since the demise of her significant other, it's TV, though Harry gets off on heroin and requirements to pawn his mom's darling set for them to purchase more medications. Harry, with his companion Tyron (Marlon Wayans), and his sweetheart Marion (Jennifer Connelly), engage with the medication business before long, and their lives go descending twisting. They go very off track by their abrupt inadequacy to purchase the unadulterated heroin they have been managing and living by. Then again, Sara's review propensities send her dependent on diet pills as she watches boisterous game shows the entire day and before long flips out. In this paper, we will relate the freak practices of the characters in this film to the absolute most essential speculations that clarify these methods.

City Music
Tom Davenport (1978) 1provided a short narrative, "It Ain't City Music," purportedly to have covered or shown a brief look at the 1972 or 1973 National Country Music Festival Contest in Warrenton, Virginia. Instead, according to the perspective of the craftsman, showed clasps of discussions, interviews, meeting of companions, development of melodic gatherings, or a short musical presentation focusing on the social idea of the occasion.

In preparation for the new Candyman film, directed by Nia DaCosta, produced and cowritten by Jordan Peele, I decided to revisit the original and REALLY watch it through a racial lens and…we need to discuss.

Strict Adherence to Screenplay Mechanics Stifles Aretha's Life Story in 'Respect'
It's strange to say this when we are talking about a movie about a real life individual but, since I know some people are sensitive to this, SPOILERS for the Aretha Franklin biopic Respect will be part of this article. In this exercise we are going to break down the entirety of the new Aretha Franklin biopic Respect using screenwriting guru Blake Snyder's Beat Sheet. The late Mr. Snyder was a screenwriter by trade and a teacher of screenwriting as well. His book Save the Cat is a terrific resource for screenwriters who are learning the craft for the first time.

Review of 'How Can You Mend a Broken Heart'
For as long as I can remember, the Beatles have been my all-time favorite group, with the Rolling Stones and the Beach Boys vying for second place. The Bee Gees were in my top ten, for sure. But several things in the past few weeks have brought them into vying for second place too, in my heart and mind.

Review of In the Heights
My wife and I saw In the Heights, the Jon Chu movie on HBO Max, based on Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical play. We really loved it. It's a righteous joy of a movie, symbolizing everything that's good about America. That would be that when left to our own devices, we are a land of dreams that can come true.

Documentary Review: 'Woodstock 99 Peace, Love, and Rage'
Reliving the terrible memory I have of Woodstock 99 in the new HBO/Bill Simmons documentary, Woodstock Love, Peace, and Rage, made my skin crawl. It’s a memory I had apparently repressed all of these years. I wasn’t at Woodstock 99 but I recall laughing at the hubristic spectacle as it devolved beyond the simplistic metaphor of Lord of the Flies and into a genuine modern tragedy. I took dark comic pleasure, schadenfreude, while enjoying the spectacular failure of Woodstock 99 and remembering that now upsets me.

Review of McCartney 3, 2, 1
The first thing I want to tell you about McCartney 3, 2, 1 -- Rick Rubin's incandescent black-and-white three-hour six-episode interview with McCartney on Hulu -- is that in addition to being mind blowing and musically joyful, it made me very sad.

Review of Summer of Soul
My wife and I just saw Summer of Soul on Hulu. We loved it. It's a musical documentary, directed by Questlove, about a festival in Harlem in July 1969, in what is now Marcus Garvey Park. Around the same time as Woodstock and human beings first walked on the Moon. The concerts were superbly recorded -- both sight and sound -- at the time. The line-up included included Stevie Wonder, Sly and the Family Stone, Nina Simone, Gladys Knight and the Pips, the Fifth Dimension, the Staples, Mahalia Jackson, the Chambers Brothers, David Ruffin (he had just left the Temptations), and more. The mystery is why hasn't this been seen until now?

Documentary Review: 'Summer of Soul' and the Empathy of Shared Memories
Summer of Soul is one of the most emotional documentaries I have ever experienced. Watching this more than 50 years after it had seemingly disappeared, the music at the heart of Summer of Soul is more powerful than ever. Time has given Summer of Soul a power that it did not have when it happened. Don’t misunderstand, as you watch this remarkable footage, the moment captured had power in the moment it happened. I mean that time and incident have given the footage even greater impact.
