The deceptively simple details, forms and styles of a movie make it better than itself. Watch this video.

I have seen Terence Malick’s experimental direction of ‘evolving stories of static characters’ in 1998s War Drama Thin Red Line and 2012s Ben Affleck starrer To the Wonder. I have experienced Christopher Nolan’s neo noir depiction of a characters ranging from a superhero trying to save his city (Batman Begins, Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises) to a farmer turned space scientist on an interstellar journey. And last but not the least I have been left in a desert with no water under the scorching heat of sun by David Fincher in his controversial ending scenes of Fight Club, The Social Network and Gone Girl that never seem to find the closure.

The point here is simple. It is never the story that makes a film nor is it the actor. It is the filming style of the director and his unique take on art and design that earns him the final result. There are many examples of the detailed attention to style and form that completely change the scope of storytelling. For example in Christopher Nolan’s Memento the opening scene is the last scene played backward. Likewise in The Prestige the first scene is the last one. Zodiac, a crime drama directed by David Fincher, has one of the most detailed script that I have ever come across however the but the director, after perfectly (almost) laying out the story, did not gave me the pleasure to watch the killer in chains.

The video below by Jacob T. Swinney compiles the intricate beauty of the little details that we don’t pay attention to by comparing, side by side, the first and final frame of 55 old and new movies.

Sony announces the Xperia Z5, Z5 compact and Z5 premium

Today Sony officially showcased the Xperia Z5 series of its flagship phones, while Sony hasn't been having a lot success in the smartphone market. Recently it hasn't been as much successful as it once used to be in mobile phone sales, its sales have fallen in the international market which is primarily due to the highly saturated market for premium smartphones as even Samsung and Apple are having a hard time now. Sony today presented the world with what it believes a smartphone of 2015 and 2016 should be like and that is the Xperia Z5 which comes in three different variations the largest being the Xperia Z5 premium followed by the regular Xperia Z5 and lastly the smallest Xperia Z5 compact.

Last year Sony released the C5 Ultra a near bezel less phone with a premium design but was ultimately a mid ranger, this year we are here again reporting about the C6, another bezel less phone with a premium design. Image Source The phone most likely will boast a 5.5 full HD screen, an Octa core Helio P10, 16 Gb internal storage, 3 or 2 Gb Ram and will of course support 4g LTE. The leaked pictures show a bezel less design which resembles the Z3 though it's not aluminium like the later. Image Source What do you think about the phone and it's design? And how it will fare against the other mid rangers.
