Sometimes you watch a great movie and, for all your adoration, the true thing that makes it great will be just out of your reach. You rewatch and rewatch until you have that eye opening moment. Here's hoping I can give you a few of those today. There are countless little tricks that a director can use to make an audience subliminally more involved with their film, but we are more aware of some than others; you are pumping out the sad music in a sad moment so we cry, how original; oh look, that guy is dressed in black, I wonder what his role is in all this. Thankfully, creativity isn't dead and every now and then a film will come around that uses something new (or an old trick in a fresh way) to suck us into the world without us even realising.
