What Movies Have You Seen III

[shiznit]

This might surprise you but I straight up hate this movie and actually feel it's moral core is disgusting.

Spoiler

. The film manipulates the viewer into feeling for the German boy despite the fact the whole movie has numerous numbers of Jews going to their death. The perspective is messed up.

Spoiler

that’s an interesting take…

I don’t dismiss it as you are right on the whole… but I think the story is more about the contrast in looking at war and in particular the holocaust and this situation in particular through the innocence of children.

i don’t think it’s manipulation per say.. I think it’s purely about the old adage that children aren’t born with hate but have it bred in them.

I don’t think your average viewer is naive enough to not see that there was atleast some level of karma on the father with the tragedy of his son dying.

To me I think it’s perfectly fine to be sad about the Bruno’s death… that’s just being a human being.

it certainly doesn't minimise what happened to all those Jewish people… I just think the viewer is smart enough to understand what was happening at that camp without having it sledgehammered at them.

Funnily enough we were talking about Taika in another thread… I think Jojo Rabbit is probably a more nuanced film with I think the same message.

obviously a different type of film… a comedy… but I think it had the same message…

Just watched nobody easily the best movie I've watched in a long time! Was a mix between die hard and John Wick. Highly recommended to all, Bob Odenkirk is the man.

I just didn't get into it for some reason....I found it okay, not much more than that.

I watched a Netflix movie called "Kate" this morning. For some reason, I really loved it. The Japan backdrop, Woody Harrelson and a very interesting lead actress I have never seen before. Harrelson is one of those excellent actors who is just as at home in a "B" grade movie as in a top liner "A" flick. Fantastic actor!
4 out of 5 for me.....I really got into it.

The actress is Mary Elizabeth Winstead and she's quite good in a lot of TV and movies. You have probably seen her and didn't realise.

And agreed, Kate is an entertaining movie if not a little predictable but that doesn't hurt it.

Kill List - what the f**k did I just watch? some English geezers do some grisly hit jobs and stumble upon some f**ked up cult and things get weird... it's kind of slow and tries to be very atmospheric.

Prisoners of the Ghostland .
The decline of Nic Cages career is speeding up massively after this utter rot . .
Lol I usually enjoy his overacting etc ..but this was beyond stupid .
think of the weirdest Japanese movie you know then stick. Nic in it .
Set in some post apocalyptic place with Samurai& ..gunslingers ... geisha girls & everyone seems to dance .
Give yourself a gold star if you can watch it all
1/10 is very very generous.

Bo Burnham - inside.

I had no idea what I was getting into but I'll say it might be the most interesting, creative, bonkers thing I've watched in some time.

I loved it.

Funny as hell but then also resonates with a lot of different feelings of the lockdown experience.

It's odd but I'll recommend it.

I enjoyed that.

Watched Free Guy. Was more entertaining than I thought it would be given the subject matter.

World premiere of No Time to Die was held in the UK overnight. Get the impression Daniel Craig may have forgotten which movie franchise he was promoting?


p.s.

No, the photo of Daniel Craig is legitimate from the premiere, that is what he wore.

Hey, if you can pull it off you go for it.

I think he looks great.

Just a fun popcorn movie, nothing special

Taika Waititi stole the show for me. He was a great villain

I don't agree with that POV, still, but that's a good response.

Watched memento for the first time absolutely loved it great movie! Not like any other movie I've seen before very unique and great story telling.

The witches (2020)
Never seen the original so didn’t know what to expect. Couldn’t believe seeing “Directed by Robert Zemeckis” at the end, what the Hell happened to this guy? He has made some classics but this movie was absolute crap, struggled to get through to the end. I know it’s for kids but it’s bad.

Thats pretty much every Ben Wheatley movie.

Aside from Free Fire. That movies great and no cult involved or though I guess it does get weird (in a normal way).

I watched "Event Horizon" for the first time last weekend. It was a film that I truly wanted to like.....but didn't. I just couldn't get into it at all. "Alien" kicks its butt on ever single level.
