Like most people after opening all my presents and eating what was left of the Christmas diner I sat in my favorite chair and put on Netflix. I figured because it was Christmas that I should try watching a movie and after browsing for awhile the movie Bright caught my eye. But before I started watching the movie I took into consideration what some of my friends had said about it and for the most part they had very little good to say about the film. Still regardless of what my friends had said about the film I decided to give it watch and my end result was pretty surprising. In my eyes I thought that this was a very interesting premise but all together I thought that it was a very well made film.
The movie Bright is directed by David Ayer (Yes the same guy that did suicide squad) and is set in a fictional present day Los Angeles where orcs, elves, fairies, minotaurs, humans and weird lizard people all coexist. The plot follows two police officers Daryl Ward played by Will Smith and Nick Jakoby played by Joel Edgerton and Nick Jakoby is the first orkish police officer. From a scholarly point of view the film is made exceptionally well for example; the great attention to detail that went into making Joel Edgerton an orc was mind blowing. I wasn't even able to recognize Joel Edgerton underneath an entire body suit of makeup. The film displays real life symbols within the film very well like police brutality and discrimination, in the film orcs are the ones who are looked down upon in society this is done with these slick transition shots of orc graffiti and at times graphic scenes of violence between the police and orcs.
Above all this film was just cool to watch, it is like if the Lord of the Rings and End of Watch came together under one roof. Its very much a popcorn eye candy movie with so many eye popping visuals like Elvetown and the opening sequence. Although where this film shines is in its action and special effects, the action in this film is both tense and unexpected and leaves you with a rush of chills after everything is said and done ( and this movies has also got an awesome soundtrack to go along with it). What I really enjoyed watching was the development that Nick Jakoby goes through as the night goes on and how his boundaries are constantly challenged with every turn. All in all I highly recommend
