    One of the visual details in Three Thousand Years of Longing is that it opens with an academic conference and many of the attendees - but not all - are wearing masks. This is not commented on by anyone, it’s just how things are when the story is told.

    last night's movie was George Millers' 2022 film Three Thousand Years Of Longing and I am deeply regretting that I didn't get it together to see it in theaters, because i've never seen anything like it. Beautiful film.

    When people say the CGI in Furiosa looks bad, I say watch Three-Thousand Years of Longing. Miller isn’t going for photorealism. He’s going for a heightened quality because these are stories being told and not necessarily grounded accounts of what happened to these people.

    Three Thousand Years Of Longing is also one of the smallish crops of movies that acknowledge the covid pandemic as something that's happening without ever discussing it and I think those movies are gonna look very weird if any of them remain interesting long enough for our children to watch them

    Great rhetorical strategy, excellent Tilda Swinton in Three Thousand Years of Longing angrily pointing out that every story about a genie who grants wishes is a cautionary tale

    That he managed to get Three Thousand Years of Longing and Furiosa on the back of Fury Road being a modest success at best must rank as one of the great heists.

    In "Glass Onion" it was kind of played as a joke about all the special things the rich could do, but in "Three Thousand Years of Longing", the lead character wears a mask through the airport and the conference has a smattering of masked attendees. Can't think of many others I have seen.

    226. Only Lovers Left Alive is an exceptionally me flick. So is Three Thousand Years of Longing. And Constantine. Maybe I just have a crush on Tilda. I definitely have a crush on Tilda. And Tom Hiddleston too.

    'Three Thousand Years of Longing' is an interesting journey of what determinism can be in a story what do we decide when we fall in Love without intending to is each of us a story, an ever story why do we weave these arcs of ourselves and breaths into the fabrics of each other in perpetuity...
