Movie : Logan vs Last of Us

March 20, 2017
We watched Logan right after we were back from Japan (of course). Af has been waiting to watch it because the trailer was nice and he loves Logan - a bit farther off than normal superhero movies, while I love older men = Logan is an older man = watching Logan means watching a cool older man (hah-hah-hah). But I don't really like a super-heroes movie, except as dark as this one.

My thoughts after we watched the movie :
  • The movie is almost exactly like the Last of Us, a game Af played for several weeks, almost 2 years ago - I sat watching the whole gameplay because it was that engaging T^T
  • So I can't stop to compare the similarities, it reminds me back to the game because I loved the game. I cried twice watching the game, and I cried twice watching the movie T^T Old men and children's tears are my weakness. 
  • If I can't stop comparing with Last of Us, that means I already put a standard, and if I already put a standard that means I will decide on which movie/game was the better one. Last of Us WON - even though Af said it is not a contest :D 
  • Laura looked a lot like Kendall Jenner when she was young.
  • Still loving Joel more than Logan. The character development in Last of Us was super strong because the game took longer to finish :

This was a trailer for the first Last of Us in 2013 and for the second Last of Us trailer in 2016, so exciting! I can't wait for another good game to watch. The latest trailer threw audiences in a lot of speculations (!) but I didn't want to read any of those write-ups because I want to watch Af play it like watching a movie again :

I think the whole gaming community agrees with this similarity (especially the father figure x child relationship), so I found a lot of memes, fanart, and comparison photos online (I copied from their shared link, so you can get the sources by clicking it on the images ) :

  1. I bought the game because of the story line. Never had time to finish it. I watched the gameplay on youtube instead. And yes, the similarity is astounding. Loved both the game and the movie for the writings.

    But I must say, Dafne Keen looks a lot like the black haired Anna Faris in Scary Movies. Now that you've pointed out Kendall, yeah, I see that..

    1. Yess, same with me. I played the game half-way through and I didn't finish it because it was too stressful. Being in the dark hiding from the infected or trying to pass a group of gangsters - it creeps me out. Haha.

      Kendall has this straight face that Dafne has too.
      Anna Faris's face is a bit too friendly in comparison :D
