Behind all of the unnecessary exposition scenes (there’s no need to describe what’s happening since the twist is quite self-explanatory) and cringe-worthy dialogues, there’s a well-structured narrative and an extraordinary concept to be explored. There’s an intriguing and meaningful story to be told deep down in this messy screenplay.
#Serenity 2019 movie
“Doing the wrong things for the right reasons” is always going to be a controversial statement, but in this particular case, having in mind what happens in the movie and who does it involve, it’s 100% wrong and I want to believe that Knight didn’t exactly want to transmit this in the way that he did. In addition to this, the final message that Steven Knight leaves the audience with, is probably one of the worst ones since The Emoji Movie. The film wasn’t near good before the twist, and it gradually transformed itself into something jaw-droppingly bad, after it. However, it sinks the movie even more and creates a whole bunch of incongruencies and plot holes. Then, a somewhat predictable plot twist changes pretty much everything since our perspective is entirely different now. Everything feels strange and random, with weird dialogues and awkward hints at something underneath it all. Steven Knight delivers a story that doesn’t feel right from the get-go. Whether that’s a divisive plot twist, a double-faced character or even an unusual method of filming, it doesn’t really matter, as long as it succeeds. I will always respect and appreciate the will of a director/writer in trying to do something bold and bonkers.
