i watched this movie yesterday and genuinely loved it. it’s probably one of the best movies i’ve seen all year (the trailer definitely didn’t do it justice).
unfortunately, i watched it online and the audio was off during arguably the best scene, so i guess i’ll have to re-watch it in theaters (what a shame).
hit-girl was by far my favourite character. she was kick-ass. i kind of wish my parents trained me so i could be an eleven-year-old assassin boy wonder. i mean, how fun would that be?
and her rescue scene was by far my favourite in the whole film. the lighting, the cinematography, the pacing, the music; it was executed perfectly. it got everything right and it made me feel…i don’t know how it made me feel. epic? i can’t really think of any other word. vindicated? satisfied? uplifted? it was a prime example of how a film can strike all the right emotional chords. it was one of the most brilliant moments in film i have ever seen.
i don’t know, but i got riled up and there was justice in it. that one scene was wonderful, brutal, sad; beautiful.
if ever i have a child, i’m training it to be a highly lethal assassin.
