Art-Eater ➡️⬇️↘️🐲👊

No other movie so consistently makes me laugh till I cry and then crushed my heart till I sob. It only gets more powerful with time too. In my opinion it's one of the great movies (both of em!). Deeply romantic, funny and tragic in a very Chinese way. One of my all time favs.

I suspect Mind Game is one of the most low key influential movies of the last 20 years. Especially when it comes to the shadow it has cast on animation and sensitive pop artsy live action cinema. I'd be surprised if it DIDNT influence Spider verse or Everything Everywhere AAO

If you sincerely believe that animation is cinema, or if you just love cinema, please find some way to watch Mind Game (2004), directed by Masaaki Yuasa.

Good thread 🧵

Charles Laughton only directed one film in his life, Night of the Hunter, but it was a masterpiece, so far ahead of its time as to timeless. With that one film he deserves to be called one of the GOATS. What a loss that he didnt get to make more films!
