36 - "Gravity"

Requested by Anthony Soto"Gravity" is the film Alfonso Cuaron finally got some serious recognition because of the numerous awards its earned back in 2013. I explain why by praising his writing, the team that made the sound design and the team who did the CGI for this film--which looks great. It's a sci-fi adventure led by mainly Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. It's a film of the triumph of the human will. There are actions that leave you no choice but to succeed, no exceptions. How Bullock's character progresses in the film from beginning to the final shot is almost a masterclass of storytelling. Simple is all you need sometimes.
