The Rabbitte Perspective

The End Of The Road? While it can't go unnoticed how many 'popular' anime's of the past and recent history warrant blaring problems of their own, as seen within one of 'the big three' in Noriyuki Abe's Bleach  which, although established a rather intriguing premise for a shōnen in its first sixty episodes, did suffer from focusing on unsatisfactory filler that negated the series' over-arching story-line, it is because of these issues that makes many of these acclaimed anime's recognisable and ever-lasting. This is certainly the case with Sword Art Online ( SAO ) since it's an anime that upholds apparent aspects that have polarised audiences opinions of the said show. Indeed, while it's timely way of depicting a premise that commented on societies addiction to technology and video-gaming was alluring, it was Sword Art Online's  manner of moving away from what made the show an enticing watch to a rather tropey and formulaic product t...

Third Time's A Charm... As much as it's been highlighted in many various preceding reviews of Marvel superhero films that the aforementioned genre has indeed become the  staple of blockbuster film-making, which has resulted in many cinephiles arguing and squabbling over its precedence and how they're viewed as features that either entertain or stagnate a cinema-goers gaze, it's equally imperative to state, in the wake of this particular Marvel cinematic-outing, the intricacies Auteurism and where, specifically, the creative outlet and artistry truly resides in the behemoth that is Marvel Studios. Despite the past endeavours of Marvel repelling quixotic creatives from the likes of Edgar Wright and Joss Whedon, it's a studio that's palpable of maintaining what they specifically want shown in their vast array of films and much of that is down to the likes of Producer Kevin Feige. While it's tenable to suggest that the MCU is prominently 'producer-dri...

Obligatory Nostalgia Originality. This is a fundamental aspect of creativity and independence which has not only come to shape the way in which film and television creators fabricate a unique concept, but is a facet that influences the way in which we perceive artistic prowess. As much as feature films and lengthy T.V. series strive towards an idea that's innovative and pioneering, it's our need of contextualising which places these authentic methodologies as an intertextual means of artistry; a premise which is shaped by another similar text through obligatory or optional means. This is certainly the case with Netflix's and The Duffer Brothers' show of Stranger Things ; a series that feels unoriginal since it purposefully and artistically references the filmography of Steven Spielberg and literary works of Stephen King. Yet, even though it lives and breathes the ethos of 1980's film and poetic culture, Stranger Things at the same time presents ideas that are...

Overcompensating It should come as no surprise to those who are reading, that a sequels purpose, whether it's from a film production, a televised series or an acclaimed novel, is to provide a continuation of the story that was initially established in preceding works in a manner that not only expands upon on a particular scenario or character, but introduces new concepts that are refreshing and engaging to perceive. In the case of cinematic sequels, it's common-place to see a follow-up feature that, alongside the chronological continuation of the over-arching story, bestows 'bigger' and 'better' filmic aspects that makes the preceding cinematic outing seem redundant. This is indeed what Writer, Director and Producer Michael Vaughn has done with his latest outlandish feature of Kingsman: The Golden Circle ; the sequel to Vaughn's successful and much-acclaimed spy-caper of  Kingsman: The Secret Service  which, like its predecessor, boasts in its ability...

Scary Beyond Belief👻😈🎃 I'm sure I speak for those who are of similar age to myself, that Disney animated films indefinitely covered a large span of own childhoods. To put it simply, ever since the 1930's, the legacy that Walt Disney's built has indeed morphed and grown into the mega popular and powerful film studio/conglomerate that we know of today, and this is thanks to how the films that have covered the said studio have provided magical escapism for the younger generation more so than any other film genre. Wherever you go, you'll find people, both young and old, who are infatuated with the characters and stories found in the films that cover the House of Mouse. This is simply down to the imagination that Disney has brought to the silver-screen over the years. However, despite the studio being synonymous with wholesome family fun, there's no denying that Disney's animated classics are rife with dark and unsettling moments; instances where you can...

Astray From The Fray: A Contemporary Classic That Conforms To Visual Splendour In viewing the recent saga-hits of The Hunger Games and the Planet of the Apes series of films to the more renowned stand-alone features such as Akira  and even the more subtle and profound Never Let Me Go , it's clear to fathom that the genre of dystopia is a premise that we want to see more and more of. As much as they permit in telling us what we're most afraid of and how we're meant to live miserably ever-after in a doomed and corrupt civilisation, it's the imprint of spectacle and romance which charms our perspective of the dystopia that we're gazing at and how these uncommonly functions interweave and mirror our own understanding of present day society discrepancies. Now universally accepted as a sci-fi classic, no film has dealt with our fear of an encroaching and de-materialising society quite so effectively as Ridley Scott's Blade Runner ; a neo-noir fantasy spect...
