So, 'To Be... A Film Favorite' is this fascinating documentary where Joe Dante dives into 'To Be or Not to Be'. It's not just about the film itself but really like a window into the time it was made, you know? Dante captures the mix of humor and gravity that the original film embodies, digging into its themes of identity and resilience against the backdrop of war. The pacing feels conversational, almost like you're sitting down for a chat over coffee. And while the practical effects aren't the focus here, the way they shaped cinema is certainly touched on. There's something distinctly engaging about how Dante reflects on the film’s impact, making it a nice piece for those who appreciate the deeper conversations around filmmaking.
