Shattered Glass Scenes in Films
Fragile, Handle with Care.
I may appear seemingly strong, but in reality if you raised your voice at me, I would shatter into a thousand irretrievable pieces.

One of my two big pieces this month (want to get the first real newsletter out before the 1st, though no promises), an examination of how the logical storytelling endpoint for Batman as we understand him has long since been reached, and how those since have in spite of their considerable efforts failed to manifest the next step.
An additional note since there wasn’t any place for it in the piece: Why on God’s Earth would you take Jace Fox’s faceplate off and not put him in the extremely rad second-stage-of-his-career suit Derington already designed?
Admittedly I’d miss the faceplate if I was still getting I Am Batman, but I get you don’t want a non-white Batman to permanently be the version who shows zero skin. It looked cool when Jason Todd had it in Battle For The Cowl though, and it looked cool with Jace. But now he’s just wearing the regular Batman costume! Why have Derington give you the suit if you’re not gonna use it?!
We passed through turnstiles to talk TENET for this week’s FFR! Join us as we discuss the film’s protagonist The Protagonist, its alluring aesthetics, its globe-hopping, time-twisting plot, and whether or not it all adds up to a good movie. Listen now!
Do I look like I’m running Wayne Enterprises right now? Your hit on the stock exchange, it didn’t work, my friend! And now you have my construction crews going around the city at 24 hours a day. How, exactly, is that supposed to help my company absorb Wayne’s?
Daggett-The Dark Knight Rises(2012)
JackLowden by Charlie Gray for The Gentleman’s Journal
[Travis] Scott says, “I was like, ‘If this world or this scene was a country, could this be the national anthem, or the soundtrack for a city, or a sports team’s theme song,’ you know? It definitely wasn’t like, ‘Oh, I’ve got an extra song on my hard drive here, y’all can have it.’ I was trying to embody all the movements and camera shots and vocal presence, and the actors’ voices and different scenes and scenarios.”
The song was born after Scott saw the film with Nolan — in a socially distanced manner, of course — on a big screen at Warner Bros. Studios in Los Angeles. Goransson says Scott was one of the first people on earth, apart from himself, Nolan, coproducer Emma Thomas, editor Jennifer Lame and a handful of others — to see the film.
“It was my first time watching a film of such caliber before it came out,” Scott says. “Seeing it with Chris [Nolan], having conversations with him about what I thought and what I took away from it, and what he thought and what his goal was, and just the whole experience in itself gave me the battery for what I wanted to do.”
Scott was joining a process that Goransson and a small group of others had been undertaking every week for several months: Watching the latest edit of the film in full. That was just one of many new experiences for the composer in working with Nolan, a process that began very early in the film’s production. “He doesn’t have any temp music [placeholder] music in his films, he likes create the sound world completely from scratch,” Goransson says. “He called me early in the script stage and I started recording music based on the script and conversations, so when he started shooting, he had maybe three hours of music. And when they started to edit the movie, every Friday we would watch it from beginning to end. To be able to see and hear it from beginning to end and reshape it, was such a great experience. We did that for six months.”
Bringing in Scott toward the end of that process brought another dimension to their work on the film. “His reaction to the film was amazing to see,” Goransson says. “And then he went off to write the song — I sent him a couple of pieces from the score and some beats, and he took that to the studio and wrote the song [with cowriter WondaGurl, who has also worked with Mariah Carey, Jay-Z, Kanye West]. We went back and forth a couple of times, and then Chris put the in the end titles, and it was perfect. Travis said later that the intro the to the song was him emulating the feeling of being in one of those masks [the characters in the film wear when traveling backward through time].”
Scott says, “The vocals and the chorus, to me it sounds like it’s reversed and slowed down and low on oxygen, which is the whole point. You know when you go to the dentist and you take that [anesthesia] and your voice drops down? This is what I felt it sounds like vocally, and the lyrics were just trying to embody every scene and color and angle. I was trying to embody all of that into the ‘DUN-dun-dun-dun, DUN-dun-dun-dun’ [rhythm]. I just tried to put all of those elements on the track.”
Nolan was so enthusiastic about “The Plan” that he placed Scott’s voice from the song into several parts of the film. “Chris said, ‘It sounds like an instrument, you can’t even tell it’s a voice,’” Goransson recalls. “So we took a snippet of that sound and placed it throughout different parts of the movie. That’s actually the first thing you hear in the movie: Travis Scott’s voice.”

Do you ever wonder if you are living in a real world? Maybe someday you’d wake up on some weird planet and realize ‘Oops it was just a dream!’
Inception directed by visionary Christohper Nolan is all about dreams. It was released in 2010, shot in six countries at a reported cost of $160 million. Was it worth it? Yes! Every single second!
Dom Cobb is a professional inceptionist. What’s an inceptionist you ask? It’s a person who invades people’s dreams to steal their secrets. Scary eh? His trusted associate Arthur is his partner in crime. Played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Josheph Gordon-Levitt [double hotness, though I’m partial to Josheph ;) ] this duo assembles a team to do something they’ve never done before. Plant an idea. Cobb and his team are hired to plant an idea in the Fischer’s subconscious, portrayed by Cillian Murphy. To do this job they have to create layers of dream in which they can get lost.
This film revolves around Cobb, his desire to go meet his children and haunting memories of his deceased wife Mal. Cobb struggles with his emotions as Mal lives in his subconscious and what he knows, she knows too.
This amazing movie is a combination of epic science fiction and action that’ll keep you on the edge. The most amazing thing about this film is how it evolves. It has the ultimate plotline, I try not to compare movies but this one beats them all, well not all but most of them. It’s like a blooming flower; every time a petal opens you realize something new.
The whole 148 of this movie captivates you, I was never bored or wondered when this scene would end. It keeps you interested until the very end. I can’t say that it is easy to understand, some may find the concept a little difficult but keep an open mind and you’ll be asking for more.
The visuals in this film are A –wait-for-it─ mazing, AMAZING! Avatar takes us to a alien planet with fancy plants and blue aliens, it’s great. But this film gives us simple places and turns them upside down, literally ;) Architect of Dreams, ever heard a job title like that one? No? It exist peeps, it really does.
Nolan has made me wonder about reality, what is reality and how do you know if you are lost in a dream or not?
