The Brutal Truth...

Recent news of AI use in The Brutalist brings this movie review a small update* The Brutalist may have varying amounts of AI usage in one image of archival footage of Lazlo's drawings in the epilogue as well as vowel manipulation while speaking Hungarian for dialect adjustments. The Brutalist sets its sights on films similar to There Will Be Blood, The Aviator and Citizen Kane. The rise and fall of a great man is a specific type of genre film and one I do enjoy. But does The Brutalist really compare to the other movies mentioned?... In this video I breakdown The Brutalist, review its pros and cons and finally weigh in on this epic and controversial film Did you see The Brutalist? Are you waiting for the wide release in late January? *I lost my voice over the holidays. If I sound a bit different it's because I recorded this video the day I regained it - and not completely. I hope you enjoy this review of The Brutalist. ---------------------------- My channel is SMALL, BUT that means that YOU CAN MAKE a BIG DIFFERENCE.
