Operation Moonlight

Product Information

I finished this last night at 2am and I'm not kidding when I say I spent the whole night thinking about it; thinking about how I can use something as simple as words to describe how this made — makes — me feel, when all I can think about is the roar of the ocean and the sadness of this little boy; the anger of this bitter teenager; the loneliness of the man he becomes. a b Bradshaw, Peter (February 2, 2017). "Moonlight review – a visually ravishing portrait of masculinity". The Guardian . Retrieved March 7, 2017. Koontz again thrilled me with his ability to set a scene and create a true sense of dread. His gift is in putting his characters in situations where they (and you as the reader) feel helpless in the midst of unsettling and spooky circumstances. In this case, the circumstances all revolve around occult happenings in and around Fort Wyvern, the abandoned military base that the main character, Christopher Snow, frequents.

David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter wrote a positive review after Moonlight premiered at the 2016 Telluride Film Festival. He praised the actors' performances and described the cinematography of James Laxton as "fluid and seductive, deceptively mellow, and shot through with searing compassion". Rooney concluded that the film "will strike plangent chords for anyone who has ever struggled with identity, or to find connections in a lonely world". [86] In a uniformly positive review for Time Out New York, Joshua Rothkopf gave Moonlight five stars out of five and praised Barry Jenkins's direction. [87] Real talk, Moonlight has my whole heart in the palm of its fictional hands. This film deserves every award and recognition it'll receive in the near future. And I hope it collects a whole lot.

During filming, Jenkins made sure that the three actors for Chiron did not meet each other until after filming to avoid any imitations of one another. [38] Consequently, Rhodes, Sanders, and Hibbert filmed in separate two-week periods. [37] Mahershala Ali frequently flew to Miami on consecutive weekends to film during the production of other projects. [39] [40] [41] Naomie Harris shot all of her scenes in three days without rehearsals, [30] [31] [41] while André Holland filmed the totality of his scenes in five. [41] The film was shot in a period of twenty-five days. [15] Volim Koontza. Puno sam ga čitala kao tinejdžerka. Najdraža mi je njegova knjiga Čuvari koju i osobno posjedujem. Ali sad već dosta godina nisam čitala ništa njegovog. To je ujedno bio i jedan od razloga zašto sam na Book Clubu predložla ovu knjigu. To i činjenica da joj naslov počinje sa slovom I, a takvu knjigu smo tražili za naš Projekt Bezimeni (za svako slovo imena naše ekipe odabrali smo po jednu knjigu koja počinje s određenim slovom imena). John Saxbee (former Bishop of Lincoln), describing Roland in Moonlight for a review in Church Times, wrote: What I like about writing books is that I can sit and think about things that most adults never think about, and it's okay because I'm a children's book writer.

Success!

Co-presenter Warren Beatty subsequently stated that he had been mistakenly given the duplicate envelope for the Best Actress award, which Emma Stone had won for her role in La La Land several minutes earlier. [106] When the mistake was realized, La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz came forward to announce Moonlight as the actual winner.

Ono što nisam znala je da je ova knjiga dio trilogije, i to drugi dio! Unatoč tome smo ju odabrali za čitanje i zapravo se i može pročitati bez prvog nastavka jer se dosta objasni u knjizi. I kraj je sasvim ok zaokružen. Ali svejedno mi je taj prvi dio nedostajao.
