Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. With One Piece finally in the rear view, the floodgates were opened this week, as we replaced hours of dedicated One Piece time with even more feature films. I actually watched even more films than I had time to write about this week, but don’t worry! All the excess Content will surely pop up in next week’s article. In the meantime, this was a week of recent highlights, as we checked out two of 2021’s top films, as well as a magnificent work from 2020.
It’s difficult to express how exciting it is to feel my art critique muscles being stressed and rebuilt this rigorously; with every film we screen, I feel just a sliver of added context, and that much more attunement with the infinite tapestry of artistic form and influence. There’s just so much to see, so much I don’t know, and grappling with that is both exhilarating and kinda terrifying. The world of storytelling is vaster than any person could chart, but as long as I know more today than I did yesterday, I think I’m on the right track. But enough starry-eyed rambling, let’s break down some films!
