Yesterday, I had the chance to see “Argo.” Starring Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, John Goodman and Alan Arkin, this film is a definite must see (and see again!).
I think this film will not only get Ben Affleck an Oscar nomination, but also, a win for best director. The editing, the acting, the directing–everything was flawless. Artistically, I even loved how Affleck shot it in regular film, cut the frames in half, and blew the images up to 200% to increase the graininess, giving it a 1970s’ feel.
This film was gripping. It made me both frightened and uncomfortable. In regards to thrillers, this film was definitely an A+.
Additionally, I want to see Bryan Cranston in more films. I love him in Breaking Bad, but I want to see more of his brilliance on the big screen.
I think many people forget that he already won an Oscar for ‘Good Will Hunting’ and only remember the movies with Jennifer Lopez which I didn’t find so bad btw. But I always liked him as an actor and thought that he had potential. I hope I will find the time to see this movie in the theaters and not just at home on my Laptop.
Well, that Oscar was for best screenplay, not director. I think he definitely stepped up his game here. He’s had some missteps, sure, but he’s a very talented guy.
And it’s definitely worthy of an onscreen viewing 😉
