Plus that sharp point, without a single word... 🙏

😁
Man of few words.

If I ever end up unemployed, I'll just binge the whole retrospective...

Or vice versa...

The King’s new outfit 😍

And that fight scene—which movie was that from again? It feels totally pre-modern by today's standards. I'm honestly obsessed with both the character and the whole vibe.

As for his sisters... and that dazed look on his face when he first wakes up....

...here's another one 😍

Just got back from the screening. The old man is a straight-up genius.
At the start of the film, he barely knew how to operate a camera, but eventually, he started capturing these incredible little details.
Pure brilliance...
That's all for now, folks. We'll be right back after the break.

The second anyone mentions anything against Americans, it’s an instant ban. Meanwhile, I bet you guys hand out medals for hate speech directed at us.

Oh, I see. Apparently, hating people from Florida or Montana is also considered "questionable."

🙂 🤮 🙂 🤮 🙂 🤮 🙂

cosmicraven2 said:Of all the summer blockbusters, this one was forgotten incredibly fast. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but it's still a solid movie. The sequel hitting theaters next year has me interested for exactly one reason: the director.

Good grief. That guy has pumped out nothing but garbage.

The first one was overrated...

darkmaker92 said:it’s because the movie just puts you into a trance, especially the American version! It runs for 160 minutes...

Yeah, I said it was a snooze fest. 🙂

Jerry Martin19 said:Nah, I'm not exactly shocked, but take a look at this poll... Joan of Arc Not a single vote in sight... Leon... The person who got the most votes is pedophile-oriented? Give me a break...
Is that even possible? And they aren't even any good either... Nikita...no. The Big Blue

Leon...

So now this poll is supposed to be an indicator of what kind of work it is?!...
I didn't say anything bad about Nikita, but as for The Big Blue... fine, yeah, I did... 😬

You forgot to beef up Leon. 🙂

The Fifth Element.

Leon is basically just some creepy fairy tale about a professional hitman. 🙄
The Big Blue is just plain boring, and I’m too scared to rewatch Nikita because I don't want to be disappointed by her again.

Isabella of Castile isn't that bad, but I haven't seen the others.

The Girl from Ipanema said:I get that it's not really about the suicides... the whole point is growing up, the clashes and divides (generational stuff, boys vs. girls), and how fast time slips away😕 that's how I saw the movie... but I still can't wrap my head around why they all killed themselves..
..being John Malkovich is 🙏 🙏 ..

Man, I think the point is just how it's presented. In this case, it just happened to be the suicide of those girls. There isn't some deep hidden message; why would anyone even bother looking for one? If there were a clear moral (like: eat your veggies to stay healthy), then it wouldn't be art.

ambertinker77 said:..I didn't really like the movie... but since it had three stars on Rotten Tomatoes, I didn't just go to bed and decided to finish it instead.. I don't get why the girls killed themselves😕

No, just like they said, it wasn't about the guys telling the story either. That simply isn't the point.
And nothing against John Malkovich!

Finally watched it last night and I’m floored. Who would've thought I'd actually agree with Jose Miller17? 😉
I don't have the time to write a full-blown review, but it's been ages since I've seen a movie this perfectly balanced. Everyone involved basically delivered their career-best performances. Etc, etc...

👍 9/10. Giving a 9 because I'm not sure I'd ever give any movie a perfect 10. If I did, I'd probably walk it back within three years. bin der, dan det.

Mickey Mouse said:Look, darling, we don't always need to rush through processing information. Ten seconds is plenty of time for a thought to form.

Well, that's just your opinion...

For me, the length isn't even the issue—it's the bad ideas. Who actually cares about this "parody"? What is the viewer really getting out of it?...

Lukas is really leaning into his thing. Especially that singing part, which is such a slippery slope... The driving scenes are just bad. It feels like he tried to make them look good at one point, then pivoted to making them look ironic, but both attempts missed the mark. It just highlights how indecisive he is, and that’s just one small issue in a massive pile of inconsistencies. 🙏

Man, what a long day at the office...
I just start getting worked up, and then...
🙂

analogharbor442 said:What kind of language is that even??
Too much bad decisions makes a man lose his mind...
🙏 🙏

If you showed this much disrespect for someone else's traditions and culture in the US, the mods would ban you faster than you can blink.

lonebison37 said:does anyone happen to have this album...?
I'm REALLY interested. Ljubo Stipišić Delmat is just fascinating to me. So incredibly original, super archaic, complex... 🙏

Come on, someone's gotta have it...😳

He's fascinating, sure, but "original"...
He basically just transcribed folk songs (that's where the "archaic" part comes from)

Gregory Garcia said:😵 My head is spinning, I can't even think straight 😵

4 Days in September was on TV recently, but everything about it is already on IMDb

That’s probably the first Brazilian film I've ever seen, and it was great right out of the gate 👍

You actually learn a lot about that massive country from the movie 👍

Anyway, what's this idea of "political" vs "non-political" movies when they all have political elements? 😕 I'd argue that maybe only rom-coms, cartoons, and some blockbusters are truly non-political...

Non-political? Yeah, right. Every single film has a political message, whether the director means to or not.

Forget 'Fail Safe' or those '4 Days...' movies. 👍 To me, the actual situation matters more than the stance taken in a political film. That's why, even if it's not totally realistic, 'Munich' works perfectly as a story...
