BECOMING JANE (2007) dir. Julian Jarrold
Okay, so you got six people hiding out in a town of what, four million people, all of whom chant "Death to America" all the livelong day. You want to set up a movie in a week. You want to lie to Hollywood, a town where everybody lies for a living. Then you want to sneak 007 over here into a country that wants CIA blood on their breakfast cereal, and you're gonna walk the Brady Bunch out of the most watched city in the world.

"I'm no one if I'm can't- I'm not this monster. I'm trying to do the best with what I know how to-. It's like you're giving me a life sentence. You can't do that. Just send me to jail and then I can still skate." I, Tonya (2017) Dir. Craig Gillespie Movies watched in 2024
What I love about this film was that it was very clear that Elvis was inspired by a lot of black artists. I mean you had Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Mahalia was in there, umm. There were so many artists that Elvis was inspired by. And you know, borrowed from. People say took from. And I'm happy that that was addressed, because I don't think that he would've been as successful or really found his own voice had he not, like, seen those gospel singers in church or seen those jazz musicians playing. Like, those founders of rock and roll. —Janelle Monae

“Prior to my involvement, Marty designed a color timeline that influenced every creative department. He wanted the progression from a two-color palette to a three-strip palette to approximate the technological advances of the film industry at that time, but more importantly, he felt it would mirror the characters’ emotional evolution. The first act, which covers Hughes’s early career in Hollywood, was supposed to have Technicolor’s two-color look. With the second act, which begins after Hughes sets a speed record flying across the continental United States [in 1937] and goes with Katharine Hepburn to Connecticut, we transition to that vibrant, three-strip look that most of us associate with the glorious Technicolor years. Then, when Hughes almost dies crashing the XF-11, we were going to cut into a more contemporary look without either Technicolor process applied.” — Robert Richardson for American Cinematographer, January 2005
