Brooklyn

The modern approach. Kansas City Chiefs style.

The movie isn't just okay—it’s actually pretty fantastic. 👍

Small spoiler alert: I was honestly surprised by how it breaks away from that typical Hollywood formula of intro-conflict-resolution. Instead, everything builds up and hits you all at once in one single, powerful moment at the end... 🙂

The movie is incredible—it feels raw, grounded, and honestly, way too REAL, even if it plays out like some sci-fi flick.

Little Luna is so intense she’s actually more high-strung than Karanovicka at times.
Everyone just stays in their own lane, living that gritty, chaotic urban vibe where everyone is a little bit broken.

It’s packed with these tiny, stinging details loaded with emotion and deep, HIDDEN!!! layers.
There are scenes and touches that’ll make you want to reach for an antacid or just throw up... when his daughter "attacks" him, that gold chain on a guy's neck, the drunkards causing a scene in the bar... it all serves as such a haunting reminder.

That "romance" that isn't really a romance? It's classic. Nobody has the guts to actually open up or surrender. Not even when it’s too late: that moment she asks who's going to identify his father's bones if he leaves, when she's actually screaming for him to stay and not abandon her (which is how they met in the first place—scanning corpses, bizarrely enough)...

Then comes the crescendo: her truth finally breaking through, a total flood of tears, a confession to herself, to her kid, and finally to everyone else. It gives me goosebumps.🙂

Dark movie. Just dark.🙏🙏🙏

It’s a great movie!
Way better than No Man's Land, which had such an incredibly stupid ending.
It might not be a masterpiece, but considering this was the director's first major project, she deserves massive credit—especially since women are still so sidelined in technical filmmaking roles. It feels like you're only "allowed" to be an actress, a costume designer, or a makeup artist.
It was about time a woman walked away with a prestigious award like this.
I won't say anything more about Mirjana; she did a solid job with her role and clearly has some talent. All in all, a good rating from me: +3.

VooDoo said:It’s got nothing to do with talent. As always, it’s just about the money.

The roster budget: $25 million.
The Brooklyn stadium budget: $1.1 million.

And honestly, even the Greeks understood this—you get exactly what you pay for when it comes to the music.

lol
If that's the case, then Brooklyn better be at least 25 times better than Schindler's List.😁

Here we go—another "enlightened" woman weighing in. And she's right. There’s no shortage of women interested in handling lighting rigs or managing stage machinery, but they just can't get past the chauvinistic gatekeepers.

You know your signature speaks for itself! 🆙

I can arrange for someone to shut you up—if that’s what you’re looking for.

northerncrane4 said:I can help you deal with that clapping if you want.

But I can't just decide that on my own. What kind of movie is it? Who are the actors and the director?😕
What if the movie turns out to be absolute garbage? Then everyone starts turning on me in the street, gossiping behind my back like, "That's the one who was clapping for that trash!"

Jeremy Flores10 said:just because she's a woman, she deserves a massive standing ovation.

So, what—are women just totally clueless? Like, does the mere fact that a woman managed to direct a movie from start to finish suddenly make her some huge hero or the ultimate icon of empowerment?

Jeremy Flores10 said:it shouldn't just be about that—what kind of movie is it, who’s the cast, who's directing?😕

If you're that stressed about it, feel free to clap with a frying pan on your head instead. 🙈

northerncrane4 said:If that’s really such a huge issue for you, feel free to go ahead and bang a wooden spatula against your head. 🙈

Actually, no—every single spatula is unique!

northerncrane4 said:Here we have our enlightened woman. And she's right. There's a huge rush of women interested in adjusting spotlights in lighting or hauling gear and setting up trusses in stage tech, but they just can't get a turn because of all those chauvinistic male pigs.

Don't be like that; maybe she just likes the physical aspect... Or maybe the women's liberation movement realized that women—totally unfairly and without any justification—just don't have a shot at those jobs... At least not enough to be on equal footing with those chauvinistic male pigs...

Jeremy Flores10, how do you explain why most editors are basically your gender? And since I’m asking: don't you think editing is actually one of the most creative parts of filmmaking—the kind where you need serious brains? Or is it just purely technical work?

Oh, just back off! I know exactly what I wrote and exactly what I meant. Did I ever claim that men are to blame for the status of women in Hollywood? That they’re some chauvinistic group preventing us from directing or even breathing? Are we all just too dim-witted to do anything besides cooking and laundry?
And seriously, is editing an art form, or is someone just "assembling" things?😕 Now you've actually confused me.🙄

Nice work!

While you were busy thinking that—etc.

Oh, brilliant!
