cinematography

hey sis! how's the shoot going?

(confession: i haven't been posting anything since a part of me didn't want to put anything over my li'l tribute to miguel... but life does go on and here i am... but before we go about our random musings, indulge me with one last post that sorta-kinda-has something-to-do with mvf3)

a while back, i watched this film:

yup, it's that film produced & directed by tom ford.

and yup, it does show like a movie that would be produced and directed by him...

where everyone is impeccably dressed,

and every shot looks like an armani ad...

and characters are more like models...

architecture (especially the main character's house) is just as crisp...

and sets are, if not oozing with mid-century modern design, have that flambo flair that goes with fake lashes and big hair...

each shot is so pretty to look at, it's almost like watching a music vid...

all this, plus a great story, great acting, and everything in between makes up for one really good (and quite gay) film...

and so here, cinematography has never been quite as contrived (and fun to watch)... i wonder what miguel would say.

the film, coincidentally (or not), is about grief...

(before we move on... i just want to add onto that last tribute i wrote... and here goes.

on how to honor his life...

5. to create friendships, and not just make friends

-- as one friend poignantly explained to us (through tears) last saturday, miguel is just one of those few guys who not only had a ton of friends, but truly had a ton of friendships. this is so true. so on that note, i will really try to go out of my otherwise cold ways, and create friendships of my own, in honor of silly miguel.)

oh, here's the trailer:
