By Laboured Go To PostThat same studio head probably extolled the virtues of AI content production some 4 minutes later.
No Laboured, we're clearly dealing with some real cinema luminaries here. it'll probably suck
Two people say it’s hard to figure out who is the good guy and who is the bad guy
By DiPro Go To Posti hope it's really good and the studio loses 4 billion on it.This is the way to go
By WoodenLung Go To PostIt's extremely disturbing to have to debate this in my head especially in 2024. Why did this even need to be made?
this is a stupid person's way of approaching art and you should feel bad about saying it

Wasn't sure whether to feel sorry for the character even though he commits heinous crimes, or whether to cheer for him as he gets one over on the bullies/rich. Obviously, I shouldn't be cheering for a mass-murdering psychopath who's only motivation is... because they beat him up and contributed to society getting worse? That doesn't seem like much of a motivation to me but whatever.
So what is its message? I don't know and as a result, the film felt extremely muddled/pointless to me. A better script would have probably improved it. Todd Phillps is the wrong director to tell this story.
Joaquin Phoenix elevates the script. He's electrifying as the iconic villain and Phillps deserves some credit for casting him. He's also in every frame of the film which is interesting. His character is underwritten though.
We’re supposed to be in awe of Phoenix’s confident stroll, mid-drag on a cigarette, as he literally walks in the opposite way to the police. The morals of this movie are all over the place. And that’s what makes for the funniest joke of all.

A sense of narrative in a review is very important.
I did a module on this.

My whole experience was coloured by my emotional state at the time. I was terrified of an active shooter coming in.

Two totally different books and movies. The dude in Lolita is a creep who does awful things and we are never meant to glorify or embrace him. Call Me By Your Name is the exact opposite in how it’s played totally straight and acts as if a 24 year old having sexual relations with a 17 year old isn’t gross and illegal. Armie Hammer’s character is a straight up sexual predator just like Humbert.

It’s set in Italy.
Saw thon Evil Does Not Exist there, ahead of Io Capitano now.
I really enjoyed it, a lot more than Drive my Car, but there is a completely baffling plot element in it.
Woah, Ryusuke Hamaguchi
Woah, we're gonna have a party

By reilo Go To PostSpeaking of illegal, is gay sex illegal there? If we care about illegality and all that.Gay sex legal in Italy since 1890.
Pretty sure gay marriage is legal in Italy, not sure when the film/book is set though
edit: quite sure it's set after 1890 ¬¬

maybe that's me because it's legal here but i don't think of 17 and 24 as thaat weird and rapey.
would've been too young for me but and i would think it's too young for most but not craazy young.

By DiPro Go To Postmaybe that's me because it's legal here but i don't think of 17 and 24 as thaat weird and rapey.At those ages you're pretty much getting into the weeds of exact birthdays. Almost 18 and only just 24 seems a lot less noncey than only just 17 and almost 25.

Think 17 is a reasonable limit legally, and leave social norms to do the rest of the work.
By n8 dogg Go To Post6 year gap between me and my gf #dissodisapprovesYounger or older?
By FortuneFaded Go To PostYounger or older?
Older. Got together when I was 25 and she 31.
By n8 dogg Go To Post6 year gap between me and my gf #dissodisapprovesI disapprove yes but not because of age but rather that you rejected my love #dissoproval
By reilo Go To PostCall Me By Your Name is great
I haven't watched it. I watched bones and all though, which people also praise. And it was legit one of the worst films I've watched all the way through. Only saved by stuff like spiral and countless bad video games films.
