Andor (2022)
Good Stuff
I'm not sure one should write reviews after ten of twelve episodes but others have written after three! So here is my take.
Rogue One is my favorite Star Wars movie. I thought the Cassein Andor character to be inspiring and appealing to the optimistic idealist in me that enjoys tragedy. Anyone who relates to that, will like this show.
Diego Luna is an extremely talented actor. He has great presence. His performance is fantastic. I am finding it hard to be critical of any of the actors. Great casting. I agree with what many others have said, it's great story writing which makes it so much easier for the actors, directors, editors and others. Everyone involved in this project should be very proud of making the best Star Wars product in years.
The Last Alaskans (2015)
Stunning Cinematography
The cinematographer should be getting some awards for this. Very beautiful to look at. I found the light to be bright when I'd expect more darkness. Everything felt clean and unspoilt which is what I'd expect in a wilderness. The music adds to drawing you in, then you think about how hostile this environment is.
The people are fascinating and the producers seem to have them very comfortable in front of camera. I think this is quite a feat given that these people are very isolated and don't interact with others very much.
Congratulations to all involved.
