Interested to hear why you prefer the 2nd half of Love Exposure to the 1st whenever you have the time. Smile

That one is an estimate for now. Will have to revisit the film to truly rank each half. Of course, the 2nd 1/2 is when the film reaches its peaks of bonkers-drama ... But the first 1/2 is probably more hilarious, so...

I love the second half of the Truman Show when he realizes he's in the TV show.
Citizen Kane's first half completely outdrives it's second half.
But the best half of any movie ever has to be the Godfather Part II's second half. It accumulates the events of the whole film series (not including the third one).


I love all those, thank you. For Kane it is a very tough call. It is essential that one's assimilation of the film is quite thorough to say the least as it reaches depths of cinematic language and refraction of emotional/thematic content that has never been equalled in film ... the refraction of such in Kane's 2nd half continues to multiply to overwhelming depths that may surpass its 1st. But I wont "officially" decide until I revisit it (for the 50th -- or so -- time!)


In case it was unclear by my usage of "refraction" or "refract", I more specifically meant "continuously multiply or accumulate in variations and development from a single source/idea/expression".
