Mandalorian
Set in the world of star wars, Mandalorian is a story of a bounty hunter. Mandalorian gets payed to hunt people. However, his aim changes when he is tasked to bring a creature, or a baby, live. Mandalorian meets this creature and his journey continues to deliver it.
Spread through 8 episodes, mandalorian is everything that new age star wars movie isn't. It's fun, engaging, and character driven. In mandalorian, we see a warrior, a trained hunter who cannot be defeated. Director Jon Favreau's depiction of mandalorian is of like dark knight Batman. He has similar fighting styles, cold backstory and deep voice. His code of conduct is to not kill anyone besides his target.
One thing Favreau excels in is Cinematography and camerawork. He excels in using modern age cgi at its best. He did that in lion king, jungle book and now in mandalorian. Mandalorian feels like a fresh breath of air while watching. It's like Favreau took a sinking ship and made it float.
Another noteworthy aspect is the background score. It's downright amazing. The mandalorian theme is addicting and satisfying. It blends down the star wars music here and there to keep the core alive
Over all mandalorian is a perfect show to binge watch this weekend
"Dear old world," she murmured, "you are very lovely and I'm lucky to be alive in you."
What a charming, spirited, and wholly restorative this treasure of a book is.
And how lucky I am to be alive to read it.
