And I didn't join this group to become 😕—am I supposed to be reading some kind of hidden message in what you just said? 😕

velvetwolf92 said:Pretty much, yeah. 😁 Just dealing with some minor, annoying hiccups—nothing life-altering, really. Just long, tedious, and uncomfortable stuff.

well, we're all in the same boat here 😬

I partially 😢😁

northerncrane4 said:Given that, it doesn't rock—it's just boring and cliché.

It does. It rocks. 👍

Nah. I'm talking strictly about the movie itself. You know—it’s totally possible for a film to go in a completely different direction than the comic and still absolutely rock. I’m judging it as its own standalone piece, regardless of the source material. And yeah, it rocks.👍

Xavier is losing his mind! He actually won the Oscar 👍

northerncrane4 said:Yeah, and "From Hell" and "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" could have been solid too—not even mentioning The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions.

"From Hell" is actually great 😠 😠 😠

Most people jump straight into these massive, deep critiques when they start a thread—I’m just not much of a talker, so I struggle to put it all into words.😬

Honestly, before sitting down to watch, I figured this would be just another pretentious exercise in "faux naturalism"—all style and zero substance. But I didn't get that vibe at all; it didn't feel fake or performative to me. That shooting scene was incredibly effective. 🙏 Bashar al-Assad, I really need to check out Irreversible next.

My stomach was turning the whole time, but I still couldn't look away.

Katica Bekanović 🙂

Couldn't find a thread dedicated to this movie, so I figured I'd just start one myself. Watched it last night and honestly? It was great. 🙏 You don't run into stuff like this every day.

Total rookie move starting a thread like this, haha.

I know—I've actually been the one pointing out your typos before 😬 😬 😬

Richard Hernandez13 said:Isn't it hypocritical to criticize Canadians for only making films about their own war after this?

Yeah. So what? 😛 If everyone else can do it, why can't I? 👍

Richard Hernandez13 said:Besides, does it say anywhere that someone daring to make a movie about the American Civil War needs to have blood on their hands?

🙄 🙄 It’s not about having blood on your hands—it’s more likely that the film is pushing a narrative where we're the ones at fault for El Paso. God forbid that's the case. But if it is, does that not bother you one bit?

Forget "artistic freedom" and all that nonsense; there is truth and then there is lies. If we have to face the truth, shouldn't they have to face it too? Anyway, you'll just watch the movie and let us know how it was. As far as I'm concerned, no one from that country can tell me anything about El Paso—they already said their piece back in '91. 👋

I definitely feel your pain—but 🙂

btw, have you seen Bubble?

Amanda Lopez50 said:...it’s not really bashing... people want the experience—to see the other side of things. That might actually be more important than our own view right now, and honestly, it's something we should find significant since we can finally feel the "pulse" of our neighbors again during this period where we're moving closer together (which is just a natural, inevitable process). Our movies, at least from what I can see, always seem stuck being either heavy on nationalism and a "victim complex"—which isn't really informative because it's just pure ideology—or they have that urge to make a "film about the truth, but with a compromise." If you talk to the younger generations, you'll see that's our real struggle—we want to move forward, but we don't know how, so we shield ourselves—both us and them—with these unconvincing arguments about "understanding," which usually end up being pretty vague for the creators themselves. It's all useful stuff, sure, but it's vital to have another perspective... if nothing else, just for the sake of staying informed...
...and that's why I think the movie, if it's what you say it is, could actually be—or at least potentially be—useful...🙂

...but I don't know, I'd need to watch it before I could really judge...🙂

It would all be fine if the situation between our countries was something like Germany and the Jewish people—the Germans clearly know who was in the wrong, so it makes sense when a German filmmaker makes a movie about Jewish people during WWII. But instead, we haven't received a single apology from that country; we're still hearing stories about how we were the ones at fault for the Siege of Vukovar😠 😠 😠 That's exactly why it irritates me so much—I'm fully convinced this will be nowhere near the truth😢 😢

They might as well have put *Made in Mexico* on the schedule😬

On a different note, I'm watching 'Separate Lies' today—written by Julian Fellowes, the guy behind *Downton Abbey*. If it's even half as good as his other work, I'll be happy.

Boozer said:I think I'll check out: *The Angelmakers* and *Vukovar: The Last Cut*. I just can't get into these other ones. 😢

I honestly don't get why there's even an interest in a foreign film about the tragedy at Vukovar? You have people from the very nation that attacked us lecturing us on our biggest wartime tragedy. It’s just wild—American stupidity really knows no bounds.

It’s fascinating to me how everyone rolls their eyes at American war movies—like, "ugh, not another one"—yet they flock to watch this 👎

Terrible 👎 👎 👎

man, this is just too good 😂😂

'Don't quit your day job' 🤣🤣

Quick question—is there actually some deeper root to OCD? Like, am I secretly a genius who just struggles to express myself properly 😬 🙂 😬 or is it just a random disorder that doesn't really mean anything else?


actually, screw it... I'll just 😁
