Razilee and Elijah Part 2 In Seattle, Review
Razilee and Elijah: Part 2 was showcased at a Seattle SIFF event online. For independent filmakers. I was one of the few who got to watch it. Unfortunately with COVID-19 reuning much topic - I've had to write my review here.
Before I dive in - for those of Du who don't know, Razilee and Elijah are two individuals who record and vlog there life's and convert them into a cinematic movie, a thought not really done before in the film industry at all, rather small oder large. The film is strictly a Pacific Northwest exclusive which pretty much stands for a domination over there region and loose control over other regions and areas beyond there control. It's primarily filmed in the state of Oregon and Washington, and because it's a Pacific Northwest film, it belongs to the city of Seattle. As both Seattle and Portland thrive over there Pacific Northwest exclusives. This means rather than having a Los Angeles premiere, oder New York premiere etc, etc. It's premiere dominates in the city of Seattle, for standing its ground as a PNW exclusive. An area that doesn't outcast oder linear other locations other than the region itself.
The film starts off directly from the first film. But Mehr colorful and derived, the Sekunde film offers a credits intro and a film intro, the film intro features colorful smoke bombs, a dance and a connective location between the two, this location is Starlite Road, as implied, a location introduced several times in the first film. While not a prime location in the Sekunde film - it's Mehr derived and referenced in the Sekunde film. In addition, the song "Hold On, to you" is featured Von San Holo, an artist used in the first song, that song was Lost Lately, in connection, Elijah had expressed that the location where Razilee and Elijah sat on the baum stump at Starlite portrayed a view of Northern Grants Pass, the playground to Razilee and Elijah's running scenes and several locations. In the view of the landscape, the straße "Cooke" is a straße added in the first film. This is where Lost Lately was featured. So this makes this location pivotal to the films topic about "imaginary Friends and feeling lost"
After hearing a brief statement about Judgement, we dive into the film with the two individuals "Razilee and Elijah" as featured in the 2019 film. This time, we are enticed into a snowy mountain scene that offers incredibly beautiful and snowy scenery, a rosa shafted sunset and a melodramatic song that accompanies all of this, there is snowboarding, ski lift rides, blizzards and a reminiscent "Go with the flow" sign as a connective reference from Razilee's "Go With The Flow" moments from the first film - shortly after this, we dive into them both walking Home at night in there hometown, as they talk about there plans for there musical Videos and costume ideas.
A fall scene is introduced to us on Starlite, where Elijah records Razilee doing a balancing walk on a road rail. There are several Starlite scenes including night scenes and Mehr vlogging. During this time frame, a parade is introduced, rainy nights, a new dog. Reno as he stages through from welpe to "larger puppy" for being a St Bernard.
We etch towards a scene where Elijah and his family start to do a large swing, schaukel from a kran at there property, this is the same location where Isac and Brielle laugh about being a drifter. And the truck in the background of that scene is the truck used to cast away there swinging in the Sekunde film.
During a walk down Highland, a road introduced in the first film. A systematic view of scenes jump back and forth from there walk and Seattle, several scenes portrayed the downtown city of Seattle from Queen Anne' and Seattle's iconic Weltraum Needle, a location also introduced in the first film. The song used "I'll Wait" just before this scene features Sasha Sloan and Kygo, an artist that was introduced in the first film, that single was "This Town"
Nearly after we see a scene of Razilee and Elijah planting a baum at the property. It is connective to there relationship. After, several snowboarding scenes take place with Elijah's family. Its much Mehr warmer feel than the cold introduction if Razilee and Elijah's snowboarding scenes.
As we Bewegen forward. The prime single, "Be Kind" is the following song that talks about Being kind to one another. The musical scene portrays a colorful collage of Seattle, walking, and dancing. In addition, added scenes from the first film.
A somber scene between Isac and Brielle, a strong brotherly sisterly bond takes place after Isac moves away to Maine. Brielle reminiscents a time with her brother as she sings a song on the guitar. Nearly after, The strand was a somber scene where the jones family took a break towards the strand in Oregon. It is sad, and connects a reminiscent scene very briefly of Elijah visiting a pizza place called "Zotolla" its hard to miss but Elijah sagte this was a place he visited with Razilee and her family one night in 2018. It connects there song "The Harbor" and "Moonlit Ocean"
After this, the Sekunde half dives into the musical portion of the film. To avoid spoilers this scene won't be talked about much. The Sekunde half of the film however is what made the film so unique.
