Paramount Pictures has been in a bit of a slump lately. Outside of Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation and Transformers: The Last Knight
(debatable), their big budget films have not
done all that well at the box
office (with Ben-Hur being a staggering failure), and their Oscar
bait just hasn’t latched on the way they
probably wanted. Though I thought
their last Oscar time movie, Silence, was an excellent film, I can see why they might want to up the ante a bit with
their next entry. And so they
turned to Darren Aronofsky, the man behind Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, and Black Swan. And the
only thing I have to say is… Wow.
Let’s just go ahead and dissect this thing.
