Now that I think of it I think 'Fury Road' was one of my last 5 star movie (immediately before 'Sicario')...'Logan' was my most recent 5 star film. I literally haven't seen a 5 star film since 'Sicario.' Before Fury Road it was 'Gravity.' Hmmmm it seems these masterpieces are biennial...only every odd numbered year!

It would be a miraculous thing to happen - I think the last time I gave 10/10 to two movies in one year was with Wolf of Wall street and Gravity and they are not on the level of Logan, emotionally and in the end this is what counts. <br /><br />I only do those posts for films I really love so this is rare occurrence here. I hopefully will make more of them this year than last but it's so much work it's only fun for the films that I really really adore.<br /><br />I'm sure one of the many movies that Logan was inspired by would fit with Fury Road too. I did use Black Swan in parallels once - with Shame and Neon Demon here and with Birdman in tumblr gifs. But I think finding several shots that tie all three would be too difficult task.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-50218144140357746022017-05-21T00:00:16.540+02:002017-05-21T00:00:16.540+02:00Wow, you did it again - incredible work!

I'll admit, as much as I love both movies I couldn't think of many similarities but it's clear as day now you've pointed them out :)<br />Here's hoping Logan picks up as much love as Fury Road when awards season rolls round again!Often Off Topichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683076467959831961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-73464213600451910192017-05-19T12:20:13.098+02:002017-05-19T12:20:13.098+02:00Stunning!

It's also a bit funny that there is a bald white British guy in both movies, I just realised.<br /><br />The colour schemes are the opposite, which I think is somehow also meaningful in regards to the outcome, we have Logan that has a dark ending and is mostly dark and blue, while Fury Road is bright and yellow, and with a more positive ending. And just seeing these images I'm getting this rush of ideas and thoughts which is what a Visual Parallel post should always do, and it does, it's just these two movies for me are as special as they are to you. My favourite from 2015, and most likely my favourite from 2017 - I'm still leaving room for something to wow me.<br /><br />I can't wait to see more of these types of posts, this is amazing. <br /><br />PS: Have you thought about pairing three or more movies into the parallels? I have a weird feeling there is a movie that could go with these two.Getterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07216666216639032348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-9843115704121519972017-05-19T07:56:12.339+02:002017-05-19T07:56:12.339+02:00Outstanding.
