The Film Thread

I liked Martin Freeman.

[Marc Overmars]

I also thought the music was some of the best I’ve heard from a movie in a long time.

Does Simon die horribly in the end? If so, might give it a watch.

Fuck me, is this another secret gay film?

"Fury" Spoiler:

 

Btw, that moment in Fury when the German kid who just happens to also be a German SS trooper spots Machine under the tank, and moves along without giving him up. Does that happen in real life? Maybe. Maybe not. But in the context of the film, the humanity it adds to an enemy that was previously being cut down, that's just great movie making. These are the things we want to go away and think about and reconsider long after the film has ended. You don't really get the same effect in the Untouchables, do you? Two different film types, two different purposes. It's one of the reasons why Fury is a much better film than it was received as.

I love that film - thought it was excellent. Brad Pitt is especially good in it too

Hacksaw Ridge. Brilliant film. You'd call it bullshit if it wasn't a true story. Spent the night watching war movies in the hopeless realisation man rises to his greatest hight during the depths of his greatest low. Watch it as a sane person and you come away shocked and depressed and loathing of the glorified violence. Watch it as a realist and you might find solace in the realities of heroes, real heroes not superheroes, of the kind that detach themselves from the insanity of "humanity" and just do the right fucking thing, whatever the potential cost to themselves. This movie really gets me. Few do.

12 hours is particularly good, I've only seen it the once but I loved how it made you feel the intensity of combat

I liked Martin Freeman.

Very underrated actor. Great in all the roles he takes. Even as a hobbit

He was in Black Panthers? Did he black up his face? Don't that lot usually get pissed when actors or underrated bygone entertainers do that?

Token honkey.

I am a little surprised it has been as well received as it has to be honest but it is very good and enjoyable.

I heard a little Gill Scott Heron in the trailer and then didn't recognise any of his music in the actual film! Not that it should be pigeonholed in frivolously mind you....and it actually may have been in there without me recognising.
