I watched The Last Tycoon on Amazon. I thought it was a good watch. The production value is really good. There is some pretty nice camera work that really fits instead of “Hey look what I can do!”

The story is a period piece from 30s Hollywood(land). If you don’t dig period pieces don’t watch. I like period pieces and this has a lot of nuance in the story that didn’t beat you over the head.

Spoiler!

Rosemarys representation of the position and aspirations of women, particularly towards the end was really good.

Some of the Nazi stuff was pretty in your face, but the implications for the involved parties was subtly done really really good IMO.

****ing Auditors. I bet that guy was from Toilet and Douche.

The exploitation was in your face but again the implications were thought provoking.

I’ve been mulling over it for hours and I guess that’s the mark of a good story. Very thought provoking.

In other news, we need to bring back that style of makeup and attire. They made some pretty ordinary looking girls look top shelf. Lily Collins is a dime piece, but some of the other gals or fairly ordinary but looked really good.
