I watched The Ring last weekend and it wasn't as scary nor as good as I remembered it being when I saw it in theater. Then I watched the original Japanese version because I love Asian horror and it was a rare case of the remake being better than the original.

Can't believe I put off seeing this for so long because I had heard it was difficult to watch. Absolutely blown away

Embrace of the Serpent

Brilliant. Two ethnographers visit the same Amazonian shaman decades apart, showing the short and longterm impacts of imperialism. Breathtaking cinematography and excellent performances, especially from Antonio Bolívar and Jan Bijvoet. Gave me a lot to think about without being unnecessarily coded. Didn't know about chullachaqui before this, really interesting concept/tradition that I want to look deeper into.

Spoiler for .:
Loved the usage of the jaguar and the snake. If the sympathetic though occasionally oblivious main white characters weren't obvious enough, I think that this film was very pro-ethnography which makes sense given that it's inspired by two real ethnographic journals. Karamakate sees Theo as an extension of imperialism, but realizes too late that he's the jaguar and Theo's the snake, implying that Karamakate is the root of his death. In the end, Karamakate takes the role of the snake and gives Evan the spots of the jaguar and disappears in the morning. Karamakate realizes how people like Evan can be a vessel for his culture when he doesn't have youth to influence, and embraces it as a part of the circle of life like the predator eating prey. The jaguar mainly preserves the presence of itself, but that snake is still a part of it.

Thought that it had an excellent realistic message that handled it without going into white saviour, patronizing, or straight up racist tropes that a lot of films along these lines fall into.


5/5

Right? IDK why that movie got such bad reviews. Him beating the **** out of that kid at the end was great.

Plus they ALWAYS give horror moves bad reviews unless they’re really artistic.

I mean, people who don’t like horror movies to begin with shouldn’t review them
