Heat is quite possibly a perfect film.

I just saw Heat for the first time a few weeks ago and I love how I’m seeing Heat discussion everywhere, constantly.

It’s not a Baader-Meinhof thing, it’s just Heat is cool and people are still talking about it

Its because the movie is largely about isolation and that's more relevant than ever.

Lmao.... Isolation? Please SMG enlighten us.

I dont know what SMG is. But sure:

The film is lonely. The characters are all isolated from each other and their relationships are falling apart because of it.

The two main characters are for lack of a better word "obsessed" with each other but only share a few minutes together.

LA is portrayed as a vast and impersonal sprawl.

Neil's house is blank and set against waves. It might as well be nowhere.

The love interest story arch is basically two people from completely incompatible backgrounds searching for connection and failing.

Edit: this isn't like, my interpretation. A simple google search yields multiple results from established critics discussing the films themes of lonliness, isolation, etc.

Finally got around to watching Manhunter and the score is so loving intense.

The entire movie feels like a weird vaporwave fantasy and I love it.

People probably thought Don Henly was a cool laid back guy in the 80s.
