I think this article misses the mark pretty bad. Was it just an excuse to quote The Bard?
Anyway, I commented this elsewhere but will re-post here:
My take after a single watch is
spoilerI think it’s possible the entire construct of what was happening in black and white was not really happening at all, but just an invention of Jason Schwartzmann’s character to help him deal with the grief of losing his wife. Conversely, I think everything that happened in color was really happening. Interestingly this is a wild inversion of what’s presented on screen (where we’re supposed to believe that what’s happening in color is all a production being put on by actors and is NOT real, while the black and white stuff is what’s real. I’ve only seen it once, but I suspect there are really subtle hints to this peppered throughout. I believe the climax of the movie is when Jason Schwartzmann’s character “walks through the set” and ends up encountering his wife / “the actress who was supposed to play his wife”. That it began snowing afterwards is a strong visual Cue. This is literally just my take. I haven’t bothered reading any analysis. I probably won’t until I see it a few more times.
Both the RG35XX and the Miyoo mini are amazing devices for the price range, I greatly recomend watiching retro games corp video on them, basically they can run up to PS1 flawless and supports saves and save states, it’s the kinda of handheld you keep on yourself all the time to play when you’re bored or on a queue, not very comfortable for long play sessions. The RG os built like a tank and has real time clock for Pokémon games with a worse d pad, Miyoo don’t has the clock but has wifi for net play, OTA updates, better screen and dpad but tends to have some build quality issues.
Wish I had the time/energy to host this much… Currently I’m running
Plex
Nextcloud (snap on ubuntu VM because its easy)
pihole
pivpn
I’m also running Jellyfin and Navidrome, in an attempt to determine if they are good alternatives to Plex for like 6 months at this point. See comments above about time/energy.
I always thought that this game doesn’t get the recognition that it deserves. It should be held up as one of the best platformers of the '80s, but it tends to be forgotten.
This makes me want to be twenty years younger, just so I can go there on a bike, then pedal and walk my way through that. It’s vastly different looking than the Appalachians in my area, with its own unique beauty.
It really is beautiful there! You would also want to go in late summer as the snow tends to stick around at that elevation. This was taken the first week of August a few years ago and the snow is mostly gone.
