What the hell? This film was fantastic.
>>69882073
Fucking plebs.
>>69882073
it was a little boring
>>69882073
>This film was fantastic.
i agree. best cohen in a long time, easily in their top 3 for me
>>69882073
You probably think Wes Anderson films are good too.
>would that it twerr so simple
Scar Jo brought it down
>>69882073
Is it Marvel or DC?
>>69882073
no, it didn't quite work & brolin certainly couldn't carry it. it's actually too subtle for its own good.
>>69882381
you mean it's too subtle for the pleb masses.
Fuck off the coen brothers are massively overrated
>That shot when Channing Tatum ballet jumps onto the submarine
>>69882073
It was the worst movie I have ever seen in theaters. Not that funny, and it was boring.
>>69882605
pleb
>>69882605
What did you think of A Serious Man?
>>69882269
*Jonah Hill
>>69882605
>>69882605
I didn't bother seeing this in theaters. I had that happen with burn after reading
>>69882269
>>69882763
Scar Jo was in the movie for 5 minutes, Jonah the Hill was in the movie for 2 minutes.
>that adorable scene at the nightclub with the spaghetti lasso
I really liked seeing actors that I thought couldn't do shit doing intricate dance routines and shit
>>69882979
>any adorable scene with Hobie
>>69882073
6.6 is about right. Pretty good, but weak for the Coen brothers.
Coen's cant do comedy.
Burn after Reading was also a piece of shit, only tryhard redditors like these movies.
>>69882073
I don't know. It was cool if a bit odd to see Robert Downey Jr and Samuel L. Jackson in the same movie. Hell, Judd Nelson was just an extra treat.
>>69882251
I haven't laughed so hard during a movie in ages. Ralph Fiennes is hilarious.
It had a lot of great individual scenes, but didn't amount to much more than that.
>not liking a movie that shits on Hollywood Communists
I really enjoyed it
>>69883132
What? It was the most Coen Brothers movie the Coen Brothers have ever made
>>69882073
Really I still haven't watched it. I dwnld it from the best open directory of all time before it went down and have most of the movies that opened in the last 4 months on a hard drive, I just have so much catching up to do...
>>69882550
Tatum was solid throughout.
>>69883136
>Coen's cant do comedy.
They nearly exclusively do comedy. If you don't like them just say so.
It's just reference humor, scene after scene of fairly lazy references to old Hollywood people and movies that they half heartedly try to turn into a narrative film.
Expect that in a few years, once a reddit post containing a list of every reference has been shared a few thousand times a lot of try hards will pretend to love how deep this film is, and how you just don't get it!
>>69883829
It's because he wasn't required to emote in any way.
>>69883901
Why are you so obsessed with reddit?
>>69883900
Retard pls go.
>>69883951
No, it was because he played a closeted gay.
>>69882073
Welcome to IMDb.
It was meh. Coens have done much better than this.
>>69882381
>brolin certainly couldn't carry it
Good point. I'd say it's 50/50 Brolin and his character.
>>69883953
I've only mentioned it once, dude chill out, if it makes you feel better I'm sorry I called your home page a bunch of try hards.
>>69884046
>I only mentioned it once for no reason
>>69884046
I only brought it up unprovoked to prove that I'm better than those people no one was talking about, why does everyone think I'm insecure?
>>69884400
>>69884094
again i can only reiterate that i am very sorry i called people on the internet try hards. it will never happen again.
>>69884517
Only redditors apologize
>>69882073
Shit was Hollywood pandering, boring dreck.
>>69882073
It was all Style, no substance.
However, Drive was the same, so I'd rather critics were consistent at least.
>>69882073
It's not even close to older Coen bros, 6.6 is a little harsh but I wouldn't go over 8/10
Yeah, that score is low, I think. There's some substance in the movie, and if you can handle the Coen brothers sense of humor, it's very entertaining. It's kind of about how self-righteousness and self-serving is at the heart of capitalism, and how it has gradually supplanted the idea of storybook Puritan morality in the United States. On the other side, the communists are so inept and naive it's hilarious. I don't know. I really liked it.
>>69882073
It criticised communism and showed religious sentiments in a positive light.
Can't have that these days.
>>69885902
It's nothing new when it comes to the Coens' existentialist outlook that permeates their films. It's again a story of an individual who has to make choices for himself when the universe or a larger force seems to conspire against him. It's no wonder that Mannix fights not only against a socialist cabal but also against the elements of the system he ultimately defends.
>>69886167
>showed religious sentiments in a positive light.
I wouldn't call it exactly positive. The scene with the religious leaders portrayed them as quibbling idiots, not to mention the fact that the priest to whom Mannix constantly turns to for confession and advice is shown as apathetic.
It came across as some sort of tribute or celebration for old hollywood and some of the cultural aspects that came with it. A lot of great visuals and moments that highlight the spectacle of those times and it really captured the feel (at from how it comes across to someone looking back at those times with the actual movies.
But ultimately the story was essentially pointless and just seemed to serve as a loose thread for all the neat things the Coens wanted to show about hollywood back then. The aimless story hurts the movie more than expected but its still worth a watch.
It actually fucking wasn't though. Like what was even supposed to be the climax? The gay navy dude communist jumping across on the soviet submarine? The infantile crypto-commie arrogant actor forgetting his most important line toward the end?
Pacing was also all over the place of course, like dude haha funny skit scene which makes no sense and now CUT here's another scene, also look at scarjo in a swimming suit OMG i have to share this on ig asap
This is a bad movie overall
>Squint! Squint against the grandeur!
>>69886325
It seemed to play off religion itself as perfectly fine, while offering criticism of the people involved, which is pretty safe.
>>69886476
>Coens
>Climax
go back to newfagkino
>>69886663
>[divine presence to be shot]
I laughed so hard at that
>>69886476
Can someone offer criticism without resorting to ironic shitposting?
>>69887802
When I heard that line my friend and I both looked at each other for a second, and then we just lost our shit.
We were the only ones laughing
>>69888091
Did you make out after :3
>>69887593
>>69887593
>DUDE movies don't need a climax because it's so arts-farty superior when you don't have one xDD
And tumbledditor hipsters consider this good filmmaking
>>69888177
It's not better, but it's not necessary.
>>69888153yesplottwist I was the girl
