Iron Lung-Short Review

[juniperjester]

  Just saw Iron Lung yay!!    my first adjective is that it was very well made.
I don't know much about what makes movies great, but here's my attempt at reviewing the important stuff!

I am a music nerd first, so let me say the soundtrack did a 10/10 job of reeling me in and making me shiver. I learned that at least one song was even made using metal sounds, which is pretty cool!

I especially liked some of the cinematography and camera angle choices. There were many good transitions and the montage scenes didn't feel awkward or forced.

The dialogue felt natural for most of it, but there were a few moments it felt like there was an unnecessary line or two. Still good, and speaking of dialogue (ha) I was glad I could understand so much of the filtered audio! I have Audio Processing issues so I think they did a great job mixing it all.

As for prop or costume design, that's not my area, but if anyone else saw it I'd love to hear about it! Or even if you know nothing about it or Mark, lmk what you think of the trailer! I went with my dad and he said he liked Mark's acting as an outside observer :)
I hope they put it out on YouTube eventually, or even physical release if possible.

I also watched and enjoyed it so much!!

The second half of the movie was so tense i was on the edge of my seat chewing my glasses watching it

when he's trying to pull away from the pipe and i was sitting like "ohgodohgod his hands about to come off" and it was HIS WHOLE ARM??? my goodness gracious.

there were some plot points they added which i understood for the sake of making more actual narritave than the game has, but it feel a little unnecessary. I also wish they had some like birds eye cmera angles of the iron lung that would really emphasise how small it is, cuz it didnt feel as suffocating as it should've i think.

but it was so visceral and the music was so good i was so hyped the whole time that i overall enjoyed it so much  , some of my friends complained that the pacing in the first part was kinda slow but personally that 2 hours went by like NOTHING .
 
sad that im not attracted to men so couldnt enjoy the costuming as much as some of my friends did LMAO
