tracking shots
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

Pretty much anything that gleefully breaks the rules.

that going into films with little knowledge of what will happen, the hope that I still can be surprised after being a casual fan of movies for so much of my life: or Ghostboy's "Surprises".

Having the bomb dropped on you when you thought you knew.......either to find out you were wrong or that you had to attempt to piece it together yourself in your own way to make sense of it. Anything to stimulate the mind and draw you in.

being wisked away into another world/universe for 2 hrs, and at the same time stepping back and realizing how much work went into making it all possible.

Quote from: CinephileWhen a film can make me cry... :cry:
To add on to that:
Being moved by a film, or trailer too...that happens more than you'd think.

when music perfectly matches the action on screen.
