Movie Review | Nocturno (2016)

Welcome to my first of many movie reviews! This review is about a Spanish movie called "Nocturno", which, according to IMDb, is an intense drama that tells the unexpected and ambiguous encounter of a sick father, in the last stage of his life, with his daughter, a nurse by profession, whom he presumably abandoned when she was a child. I discovered this movie in the foreign section of my library. I was really interested in the cover, which is a black and white photo of a wall with an old sickly man sitting in a chair with a young nurse next to him and has a handwritten title saying "NOCTURNO" on it; to say this interested me would be an understatement. The movie is in Spanish, so unless you understand the language, you must use subtitles. No dub exists (as far as I know) and even if there is one, I am sure that the way I watched it is the best way to see it. This is not my favorite movie I have seen, but for a movie I knew nothing about, this is pretty damn good. If these types of movies are your thing, you will definitely enjoy them. I personally love these modern movies that have come out that are in black and white. I think they are automatically very interesting. Movies like Light House, Nocturno, A Haunting in Venice, etc. would not be as great visually if they were in color, so I really believe that the black and white video makes them amazing. This review is a bit short as I don't have a lot to tell about the movie, as if I were to give a deep synopsis, I would spoil the movie. To give a basic run down, it starts really slowly, sort of painting a picture of a man's wife being awful and evil. It then sort of makes the nurse seem evil too, but as the movie goes on, you realize that the man was an evil person who (now that he is dying) had to face the anger of those he hurt. I definitely think this movie is worth a watch. However, I probably won't watch it again and again as the story was alright, in my opinion, but I have watched more interesting stories. I think the main draws are the visuals, the drama, and the audio. Other than that, it is relatively generic for me. I would give this movie a solid 6/10.

I hope you enjoyed my review and I look forward to reading more reviews in the future.

Welcome!!!

 Hey there all of you! This is going to be my blog page! I have been working on my personal website for some time now (about a year as of this post) and it has grown so much! If you are seeing this blog it is because I decided to make the site public! ^_^ This is just the beginning though as I plan to update this blog! I am not sure what I will talk about but I will mostly talk about movies, books, music, etc. I go to the library to try new movies so I will probably make some blogs on that! In this blog I am simply just introducing you to the site! (I will figure out how to pin this to the blog page) This site (and this blog page) are where you will find the most personal things about me on the internet! I am not a huge fan of social media though I use it, so I tend to gravitate towards working on my personal site, however, I did want a main page to direct people to when they had questions about me since I have a lot of baggage and it would take waaaaay too long to explain it, for instance, I can tell you I know at least 7,000 songs (that is how many are in my liked playlist and other playlists as well as CDs, Vinyls, and Cassettes) so it is impossible for me to put it in a conversation, it is much easier to just put my playlists on my site or make reviews. I will also post my cosplay photos since cosplay is something I deeply enjoy (probably as much as music) so expect a lot of music, cosplay, DIY, and aesthetics. I have a guest book so feel free to say anything, if you have a request for me to review something simply just type it in the guest book, I will check it. I hope you guys do check in on my site as this is something I am deeply proud of and hope to grow as time goes on, it is already huge but there is so much more I can add. I kind of look at this site like Disney World, lots of rides and parks that are always changing or expanding. I will keep all of the social media people up to date on the happenings of this site. Hope you guys enjoy your day!
