The first 20 minutes of Moulin Rouge! and Noah by Mischief Maker 04/25/2021, 11:06pm PDT
Moulin Rouge!

I'm one of those weirdos who defends the Wachowski's Speed Racer, so I have no problem with kaleidoscopic visual insanity. But that music, chopping up famous pop songs and stitching them together like a Frankenstein's Monster, it felt like I was being beaten to a pulp by my own nostalgia so I bailed 20 minutes in.

Noah

Gonna have to disagree with Lindsay Ellis here, The Fountain is still my favorite Aronofsky film. On the visuals side Noah was surprisingly drab, on the metaphors side this movie was completely on-the-nose, to the point that several times in the film you have characters straight up explaining God's intentions where I would have preferred more dream sequences that leave things up to interpretation. And I can't believe this film had more than four-times the budget of The Fountain, that movie looked so much more visually impressive than this. I guess sometimes creativity thrives when overcoming limitations.
