The page intends to house all those movies that I have analyzed and explained. Movie analysis is something that I enjoy doing because I love to read between the frames.

The Last Duel Review (2021) | Leaving Justice to God’s Will
The Last Duel movie is based on the 2004 book by Eric Jager which is the last official 'trial by combat' registered unto the pages of history. What makes it one of a kind is the events leading to the duel, which form a most eloquent and voiceful drama insinuating winds of change back in the year 1386. What Ridley Scott does with the tale is absolutely mind-boggling. He does ...

This movie is one of those unusual occasions. Watching Tim Burton's Big Fish 2003 is like being transported to when we were children. It’s inevitable to be full of curiosity and eagerness for all ...
Drive Movie 2011 Analysis | Search for a Real Human Being, a Real Hero
Unlike most movies out there, Drive movie 2011 is a narrative based more on sensorial experiences than dialogues from the characters. Throughout the movie, we can find many scenes of non-verbal communication, in a sense that communication takes place not so much in words but in images, sounds, and songs as expressions that its director Nicholas Winding Refn splendidly presents to portray a certain mood or the feelings the main ...
