60 of 186 · most liked firstOne of the visual details in Three Thousand Years of Longing is that it opens with an academic conference and many of the attendees - but not all - are wearing masks. This is not commented on by anyone, it’s just how things are when the story is told.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched "Three Thousand Years Of Longing" and WOW. Amazing, incriedble film. What a story. Highly recommend.
positive · AI labelView post →last night's movie was George Millers' 2022 film Three Thousand Years Of Longing and I am deeply regretting that I didn't get it together to see it in theaters, because i've never seen anything like it. Beautiful film.
positive · AI labelView post →When people say the CGI in Furiosa looks bad, I say watch Three-Thousand Years of Longing. Miller isn’t going for photorealism. He’s going for a heightened quality because these are stories being told and not necessarily grounded accounts of what happened to these people.
neutral · AI labelView post →Three Thousand Years Of Longing is also one of the smallish crops of movies that acknowledge the covid pandemic as something that's happening without ever discussing it and I think those movies are gonna look very weird if any of them remain interesting long enough for our children to watch them
neutral · AI labelView post →Great rhetorical strategy, excellent Tilda Swinton in Three Thousand Years of Longing angrily pointing out that every story about a genie who grants wishes is a cautionary tale

neutral · AI labelView post →That he managed to get Three Thousand Years of Longing and Furiosa on the back of Fury Road being a modest success at best must rank as one of the great heists.
neutral · AI labelView post →Three Thousand Years of Longing was beautiful. I put off watching it because it was the perfect mix of everything I loved and I didn't want to be disappointed, and I wasn't.

positive · AI labelView post →In "Glass Onion" it was kind of played as a joke about all the special things the rich could do, but in "Three Thousand Years of Longing", the lead character wears a mask through the airport and the conference has a smattering of masked attendees. Can't think of many others I have seen.

neutral · AI labelView post →Oh, "Three Thousand Years of Longing" by a mile--in part because it's based on my favorite A.S. Byatt short story, but also because it stars both her AND Idris Elba! They play off of each other *so* well.
