Episode 22 – I'm Thinking of Ending Things (Movie, 2020) Review + Oscars' Diversity Standards
Manage episode 271951977 series 2077872
For our 22nd episode, we watch and review the Netflix original I'm Thinking of Ending Things, written and directed by Charlie Kaufman and based on the book of the same name by Iain Reid. Starring Jesse Plemons and Jessie Buckley, the plot follows a young woman on a roadtrip with her boyfriend Jake to meet his parents, but nothing is as it seems and as the story progresses both the woman and the viewer begin to lose grip on what is actually real. Our discussion involves our interpretation and explanation of the surreal ending and compare it to the novel's, and how it uses a 4:3 aspect ratio and other techniques to create tension. We also touch on the Academy Awards' new representation and inclusion requirements for films to be considered for the Oscars - most headlines about this are clickbait, and the actual standards are very reasonable and a step in the right direction for the industry. We didn't have any submissions this week, but if you're a creator and want to have your work reviewed, message us!
