Reactions to Corridor of Mirrors (1948), which I watched at the end of last week.

I wonder if this film could be read as about the tension between… I don’t know, Romanticism and formalism, neo-classicism. An ex-painter in an empty mansion, desperate to recapture the past (and a mythical love from another age).

And lots of mirrors, bodies, malingering, beautiful spaces with hidden layers.

A frame from Corridor of Mirrors (1948), showing a man in silhouette, leaning on a Shepard’s cane, looking out over an extremely calm lake with layers of mountains in the background, hazy, in deep focus.
A frame from Corridor of Mirrors (1948), showing a silhouetted figure in a dark robe, walking into a deep panorama of stairs sweeping up toward a courtyard, all in a classical architectural style. The background is bathed in hazy light.

Them: "The CGI in The Flash (2023) is some of the worst CGI I've ever seen put to film."

Me: "Ugh. They always say that shit. People always have to find something to complain about, and it's never as bad as they say."

Me: "Oh. Oh my gods. Why do the babies look like dolls that have been left out in the sun to melt? And that dog! What's wrong with its FACE!? It looks like Milo from The Mask, while he was wearing the mask! Why does Batman look like he's wearing Jay Leno's chin with black marker used to mark his beard stubble? Holy fucking shit."

looks at the critics

Me: "I am sorry, and I stand corrected." 😭
