By Wahabipapangus Go To Posthe's gay. that's it. i don't know why there has to be more to it.
i think it is mainly a comedy. a comedy can do more than just play for laughs at all times though. but it's clearly at least partly a comedy, and isn't meant to be taken entirely serious at all times.
i think i will end it here. cause honestly the pedantic nature of movie snobbery annoys me, and i have better things to do than get annoyed at the internet. like trying to The Irishman again without falling asleep. 😎
Because he’s a gay Nazi and that might be an interesting avenue to explore? Why is it in the movie other than to either score some brownie points for representation or to suggest Nazis had layers and humanity to them too?
To say ‘there doesn’t need to be a point and to suggest so is pedantic’ is super super lazy and reductive. Like, what’s the point of engaging with art at all if the takeaway is ‘whatever it doesn’t have to have a point’
Again, that’s all well and good if you’re making Airplane and the point is that it’s willfully dumb. Not here. That’s not the film Waititi was making, otherwise half the stuff with ScarJo, all the slo mo shots of dead dudes and the maudlin quote at the end would not have been in this film.
To the above point - I don’t think Nazis are generally cartoonish clumsy villains in films. They are in this.
Just saw 1917. Liked it a tad more than I thought I would - was expecting just technical bravado, but that bravado was pretty fucking impressive. I also thought the lead performance was very good; Leo won an Oscar for less physical exertion, whew.
Was basically video game: the movie tho. Here’s the opening cut scene. Here’s the night level. Here’s the water level. Here’s cameos for two minutes from celeb actors.
Although I realise literally as I’ve been writing this review I’ve forgotten most of what’s happened.
Anyway, final Oscar rating
5/5
The Irishman
4.5/5
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Parasite
Little Women
4/5
Marriage Story
2.5/5
1917

help me bong joon-ho, you’re my only hope

joker is entertaining enough but just pretentious as fuck. enough good acting (and a great score) going on in there that it’s watchable.
altho ur right 2.5 is too high. Edited m&

By reilo Go To PostI hate you for not liking Ford v Ferrari
Can’t even begin to tell you how bored I was. The only characters I could name are Ford and Ferrari.
See you must not have been paying attention because the friendship between Ken Miles and Carol Shelby is the core and heart of the movie. The Ford v Ferrari bit is a misnomer and just a maguffin to tell the story of their friendship which I think they did an amazing job of.
All the scenes involving Miles and his kid were top notch.

By inky Go To PostI hate you for using a 5 point scale and still awarding half points.Incredible shit thing to do, agree.

Oh I know they were the heart of the film (the above post was a joke about how forgettable it was). I was just bored by them. Matt Damon annoys the fucking hell out of me. Only movie I can stand him in is The Departed because he’s supposed to be a cunt.

Looks better than 10, 9, 8 etc. if Ebert can do half stars so can I m8
Ebert was a cunt who used (uses) a 4 star scale on top of awarding half stars.
That's just a blatant disregard for base 10 mathematics. If he was doing base 12 or something, then maybe I could respect it, but nah m9. I don't think it's hyperbole to say that half stars are something the Nazis would do.

By Perfect Blue Go To PostIn fairness he’s clearly a very sick man and compulsive gambling addict. It’s sort of Shakespearean in a way as the tragic hero with one gigantic flaw.What are you guys talking about
Shame the film didn’t do much interesting with the setup.
Spoilers for Uncut Gems
Despite everything that happens, despite all his fuck-ups, despite all the plates he's spinning and everything that goes wrong throughout the movie, he's about to get away with it. It's all going to defy all probability and logic and come together and pay off everything he's been trying to do since the beginning of the movie. He just missed one thing. ONE THING. One factor got away from him and ended up costing him everything.
He really should have known not to lock that guy up

going to watch 12 angry men tonight
Great fucking movie, that one. I’m trying to difect a play of it at school soon. Just need to find the time in the day!
By FortuneFaded Go To PostAre you going to gender diversify it?
Yeah; it’s called 12 Angry Men but I’ve modernised the script to fit a 21st century British context. Opening it to everyone (although I think white boys playing 3 and 10 would be helpful just to make sure everyone knows who the bigots are!)
Watching Bombshell. Thoroughly uninteresting but funny to see Rob Delaney in a serious film and Richard Kind as Giuliani.
By Laboured Go To PostPretty disappointed in the Jews for getting genocided by low-level enemies 👎👎👎Can't believe the goombas would do such a thing

By Yurt :3 Go To Posthow can you forget I'll see you in another life, when we're both catsIs it a good film, honestly, I couldn't tell you, Its a really weird film that came out at a strange transitional period for the world, but it really sparked my desire for more existentially conceptual films.

By n8 dogg Go To PostFuckLol Apollo and I were just laughing about it.
I'm rewatching LOTR, and despite being nearly 20 years old, the movie holds up incredibly well due to the amazing makeup work of all the orcs. Yea sure what CG there is is rough, but at least all the characters feel like they are interacting on a real life planet.
By Yurt :3 Go To Postn8 what did you make of Knives Out? I have the distro ready
Liked it a lot. Some really fun performances, and there’s a real sense of clever, careful scriptwriting that sees through its themes. It’s a little didactic and on the nose, but well worth seeing. Fun little flick
Avengers movies are going to age very badly.
I'll give Nolan props, in that all of his use of practical effects will age extremely well.
