The Opinion is a space curated by Raimondo Rossi, A.K.A. Ray Morrison, our Editor-in-Chief, recognized internationally in the field of fashion and photography. Here, you’ll find reflections that explore the connections between fashion, photography, art, and the emotions of the human soul, or insights on events we’ve attended, where Raimondo has taken us behind the scenes into spaces inaccessible to the general public.
The focus is always on seeking something that transcends external style, aiming instead to respect and enhance an inner elegance—an idea reflected in The Style Researcher, a term coined by Raimondo in 2014. In the early years, Raimondo was even internationally identified by this acronym, The Style Researcher, which gradually evolved into his blog and later into a select group of passionate individuals interested in culture and the world. Over time, it further transformed into this online magazine.
This space also includes explorations of certain films that may have been dismissed by the majority of critics as low-quality. However, Raimondo offers a fresh perspective, uncovering elements within these films that deserve to be appreciated and highlighted.
“THE SUBSTANCE”: EXPLORING A MOVIE THAT MISSES ITS MARK
The Substance ambitiously tackles themes of beauty and perfection but struggles to find a cohesive identity, leaving viewers disappointed. While standout performances by Demi Moore and Dennis Quaid add moments of brilliance, the film ultimately fails to rise above its influences or offer anything truly original. Its exploration of eternal youth and self-acceptance feels overly simplistic, making it a missed opportunity despite its intriguing premise.
THE CROW 2024: CHRONICLE OF A BEAUTIFUL FILM DESTROYED BY MARKETING
The Crow 2024 may seem like a rehash of the 1994 classic based on its trailer, but it’s an entirely different cinematic experience. The film’s esoteric themes and haunting soundtrack set it apart, offering a unique journey worth watching.
