It's very funny that the most hated working mainstream directors: M. Night Shyamalan, Michael Bay, and Rian Johnson have all made at least one movie that everyone agrees is good.

I think it speaks to the deterioration of modern blockbuster filmmaking that we so rarely recognize the performances of the actors in popular media anymore. They usually fade into the background, acting only in service of the brand. Genuine emotion like this is startling.

When I rewatch older blockbusters like the Potters, I’m always struck by just how dedicated the adult performances are. The material is goofy and childlike, but then you see Alan Rickman giving an almost Shakespearean performance, you’re dared to take it seriously. I miss that.
