What's your Favorite 2010's Media?
5 years ago
With the 2010's offically behind us, I thought it be fun to ask what y'alls favorite media in the 2010's were. Reason being is because I'm near the end of school and I'll have some more free time in the future. I don't mind going through and adding to my back catalog to catch up on. I'll list my favorite music albums and movies for now as those were the only things I had enough time for to enjoy fully. It's not a fully exausted list of all my favorite media, but just things I would highly recommend anyone trying out. And I'll say a quick thing about each of them.
Movies of the Decade:
·Mamoru Hosoda "The Boy and The Beast" (2015)
Great coming of age anime movie with heartfelt characters and themes of finding one's identity in an unstable world. Also top notch animal character designs!
·Naoko Yamada "A Silent Voice" (2016)
A Japanese anime movie that's probably one of the few best deaf representations in cinema and a heart warming story that will touch the emotional core of any person.
·Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman "Loving Vincent" (2017)
A truly artistic movie that pushes the boundaries of animation with every frame being a painting and exploring the life of Vincent Van Gogh.
·Lee Chang-dong "Burning" (2018)
A great South Korean film that explores the complications of a ridgid capitalist society as the main character tries to unravel the mysterious disappearance of his long time friend.
·Yorgos Lanthimos "The Favourite" (2018)
Period piece that captures the mood and atmosphere of aristocratic live in England through a halarious comedic lens.
·Wes Anderson "Isle of Dogs" (2018)
Great family adventure stop motion movie that has great pacing and enjoyable characters.
·Peter Ramsey, Bob Persichetti, and Rodney Rothman "Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse" (2018)
Stand alone super hero movie that cohesively tie in multiple characters and best exemplify the mythos of Spiderman.
·Bong Joon-ho "Parasite" (2019)
Fresh South Korean thriller film that explores class relations and takes unexpected twists and turns that will leave you guessing.
Music of the Decade
·Hail the Sun "Wake" (2014)
Fantastic rock album that is balls to the wall and lyrically compelling to listen.

Fantastic exploration of the black experience and just an overall great album. True cream of the crop in terms of hip hop music.
