The Opinion is a space curated by Raimondo Rossi, A.K.A. Ray Morrison, 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, he 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 (or flipping the perspective when needed).

OSCARS 2024: HISTORY NEVER TEACHES

The 2024 Oscars highlighted a recurring message: history's lessons remain unheeded, with top awards going to historical films like "Oppenheimer" and "The Zone of Interest." These films spotlight the indifference to global conflicts. Amidst the backdrop of Hollywood glamour, introspective narratives on human suffering and societal issues were overshadowed. Standout performances, including a colorful turn by Ryan Gosling in "Barbie," punctuated the night. The event leaves us yearning for future cinema that not only entertains but deeply moves us.

The Hunger Games 2023 rips off every mask and takes us into the abyss of the human soul.

"The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" is a cinematic triumph that plunges into the intricacies of the human soul, akin to a Poe novella or Jungian exploration. The film, a revelation at the premiere, unveils the early years of Coriolanus Snow with the nuanced performance of Tom Blyth. Viola Davis's commanding presence, coupled with a meticulously crafted script, paints a dystopian world under the rule of dictatorship. Rachel Zegler shines as Lucy Gray, the new heroine, although the film's only flaw lies in an excess of singing in the second part. Drawing parallels with Edgar Allan Poe's novellas, the reviewer commends the movie's profound exploration of characters' hearts, labeling it excellent and a must-see.
