One of their best and most intimate movies, loved every minute of it.
What did you think of it /tv/?
I would rather stab myself in the eye with a needle infected with aids than watch a movie with clooney in it.
>Palestine!
I fucking loved it, I went to see it twice in the cinema. I'd seriously watch another movie or a series set in that studio
"normies" is a normalfag meme, wannabe /r9k/ scum
>>67188573
I thought it was going to be better, I must say.
>>67188623
same
but I would also stab myself in the eye with an aids needle to watch a movie with Ralph Fiennes, so I've got quite the conundrum
>>67188573
The normies hated it? Oh, that means i can like this movie now.havent even watched it desu
>>67188707
dumb ghettoposter
>>67188573
Had no expectations and ended up entertained.
The overdramatization and visuals worked quite well.
>>67188573
i find it interesting that this movie has become fodder for le patrician baiters and subtle shitposters
Would that it were so simple.
I thought it was quite silly. How is he supposed to swing upside down onto a branch from a horse going at full speed?
Hail Caesar is the Coens' most incisive, philosophical, and angriest movie ever. Definitely since A Serious Man. The movie essentially reveals that organized religion has been replaced by the entertainment industry as "opium for the masses". The scene where all the religious leaders are squabbling only to briefly put aside their differences when they hear dignified A-lister Brad Whitlock will star in the religious movie and in unison agree that it will be a great performance at least. The subplot with Scarlett Johannson putting her bastard child up for adoption and re-adoption; Mannix works his ass off to arrange this because the public would not be able to handle the truth, so he creates a fiction that they will swallow like one of the many narratives they churn out. There are many other scenes that allude to this, as well as the incredible political undertones: In the most action-packed scene of the movie, self-starter "Teddy Roosevelt capitalist" Mannix slaps the Christ out of the naive idiot Brad Whitlock, who spent one night with the scheming intellectual Communists, and suddenly thinks he's an expert on class struggle. The movie's performances were mostly perfect (though I question Frances McDormand's appearance as necessary). The two musical sequences were wonderful. The photography was brilliant in that we will never see shots like that again. It's a Coen Brothers movie that many won't appreciate and even fewer will understand.

>Would that a twirl so simple
What did he mean by this?
>>67188573
It's shit
It wasn't boring, it was just so wholesome for a Coen bros. film.
>Mannix's faith in his job is renewed
>ScarJo and Jonah Hill get married
>Dirty commies get busted
>Hobie's movie is a hit, gets a qt latina gf and helps Mannix with the commies
>parasitic paparazzos get btfo
>Baird Whitlock gets sense slapped into him
No one died, suffered from deep existential dread and everything basically turned out well.
>Burt's song

>Would that eat tweeeerr s'simple
This movie has been out since early February and there's still no torrent.

Translation: I never saw Hudsucker Proxy or Raising Arizona.

>>67188573
Is it available? I haven't seen any torrents?
>>67188967
>2 out of 16 of their previous movies
Gee you sure showed me what's fer
>>67189132
I showed you that this isn't exactly unheard of from them. You're like the same faggot who said
>Ugh! A PG-13 Coen brothers movie?! This can't be good!
>>67189059
also wondering? Might watch it tonight if it's out
>>67188623
But Clooney was fucking born to play a movie star during the 50s. I mean, he fits that role almost perfectly.
>>67188943
That was the point. Do you need everything to be spelled out on screen in the opening crawl, you dumb Star Wars watcher?
>>67188822
Trippingly
>>67191125
Rueful, or soulful.
>>67188943
I think that was the idea. Remember that line about things just working themselves out? The whole movie is characters getting faced with the question of what makes their life good or meaningful, mostly surrounding what higher cause they work for, and whether they actually have any real influence over their lives or the world at large. The communists believe that there's clear and distinct scientific answers to these questions, Laurentz believes the exact opposite, and Mannix is caught between.
The punchline of the whole movie is that non of them are right, everything just proceeds with or without their interference, the world's just a chaotic mess, and in the end what you do or believe doesn't matter nearly as much as whether you and the people around you are happy.
>>67188943
The wholesomeness was the greater point, anon. The whole film was about complexity in story telling, how different it was back then to our expectations now. Think about it.
>The whole communist plot line that was so easily resolved
>Lazy Old Moon, where literally nothing happened
>The change from Lawrence Laurentz's "Would that it t'were so simple" to "It's... complicated."
>>67188822
This scene was the highlight of the movie, and the best scene of any movie to come out in the last year.
>>67188573
I wouldn't waste my time with Cohen trash

Pure cinema, I genuinely loved it. Had me smiling the whole way through. What was it about again?
i found the talent to be a bit wasted and the plot to be like eating pre-chewed celery
scarlet johanson was in 2 scenes, jonah hill had 2 lines, the trailer gave away the only twist and the comedy was half-chuckle worthy
a great period piece and nice industry satire
It's complicated.
>>67188573
It was terrible and flat
The jokes are for people in their 60s who remember the actors types or politics of the time
If you say you got it and it was funny you are trying way to hard
the only people laughing where the old couple in their 70s on the front row
everyone 20-50 only laughed during the scene where he mispronounces words and the 5min gay joke, otherwise it was silence during the movie
people jumped and left as fast as they could when the movie ended
>>67192751
>mfw it was literally too deep for you
Did you seriously end that post complaining that people left the theater when the movie was over?
Fuck's sake.
>>67192973
the movie wasn't deep
you were not smart for watching it either, It was so boring it left a couple of fags on /tv/ making up different meanings for it
unless you are an enthusiast for the time or an old lady you can stop stoking your self over it
>>67193095
>the movie wasn't deep
That's what's so funny about your post.
You're a fucking moron and you don't even realize it.
>>67191858
>>67191952
>>67193159
I'm listening, tell me about the deep complexities
or are they to deep to explain?
>>67193271
Aw jesus.. Still?
Fuck me dead, you're dumb.
The movie ISN'T DEEP. You're the only one reading into things here and being upset with the movie for not being what you ironically don't want it to be.
>>67193327
>>mfw it was literally too deep for you
now you are backtracking
>>67193327
I am going to chime in here because you are being a retard
anon said nothing about it being deep, you did
He said it was flat and for the older generation, I doubt anyone on /tv/ actually understood it and I doubt your parents would have got most of the references.
you just barged in with an insult when he wasn't wrong and got your arguments confused.
It was fucking great. Saw it three times in theaters
>>67192319
God I loved that part too
His fucking face when he pulls back and his face itches
>>67193271
It's about the integrity of the working man. It was glorious freedom loving hilarity.
>>67193271
Wood dat it twurr so syeeumpull
>>67193552
I'm sure its complicated
>>67193369

Would that it'twer s'simple.

Yeah. Alright.

>>67193615
My dear boy, why do you say twuhhhhhrrrr?
>>67193608
you just wish it was the 1950s and thats why you enjoyed it.
Its ok to admit it, you were wondering what it would be like to wear your hat and not get bullied
>>67193687
>damage control
:^)
>>67188573
I thought it was good, not one of their best, I found it to be a bit forgettable I wouldn't call it intimate at all honestly. A Serious Man is probably their most intimate
>>67192751
I thought the meme about /tv/ not watching anything prior to 1990 was untrue. Lol thanks for proving me wrong.
