Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk

About: Ang Lee, after the 2012 visual masterpiece Life of Pi, he returns with this new film which has been inspired by Ben Fountain’s novel of the same name. Nineteen-year-old private Billy Lynn (Joe Alwyn) becomes a hero after a harrowing Iraq battle and is brought home temporarily for a victory tour. Interestingly, this film is also a battle of survival that is told through a series of flashbacks like Life of Pi.

Who's in it: Joe Alwyn,  Kristen Stewart, Chris Tucker, Vin Diesel and Steven Martin

What might work: The film uses new technology in cinema very well. It is shot in 3D at 120 frames-per-second, five times the traditional 24 frames per second. The result is sometimes-jarring realism, with actors' faces seen in unfiltered intimacy and background scenery so detailed it seemed artificial. The film is a must watch because this filming technique is unprecedented in cinema.
