The true patrician has spoken.
>The reason for focussing so closely on the details of “Spotlight,” on what’s in and what’s out, is that the movie leaves nothing else to focus on, because it has no style. Style in movies is a living symbol—an act of elision that, whether in image or gesture, in visual composition or mode of performance, conveys far more than is displayed in action. If images are tiles in a mosaic, stylistic flourishes are cinematic box tops that suggest contents that are not on view but are integral to the film. For “Spotlight,” the absence of style—the style of no style, of a literal-minded and earnest realism that conveys the idea of the story without reaching into its further implications—places attention squarely on what the movie is about.
>There’s no rule to apply that determines what a movie is about. What a movie’s about isn’t determined by its subject, idea, or message. The filmmakers’ desire to limit the story to the investigation, to the work that brings results, doesn’t suffice to define it. What a movie is about is a matter of vision and imagination, of perception and inference—that of the filmmakers, but also that of viewers. In the case of “Spotlight,” its substance is somewhat less than what I imagined, and is doubtless far less that what many other viewers are likely to derive from it. The array of incidents and ideas that McCarthy and Singer round up and pull together is far narrower than the ones that the premise implies. They’ve got hold of a subject that’s too big, too complex, too unruly for their imaginations.

How does he manage to be so spot-on about everything?

LOLno Birdman was a better-made film
>generic movie about journalists cracking a conspiracy

Why is anyone mad Mac just said he is gay???
HE WAS FUCKING A GUY WITH A DICH SINCE THE SECOND PILOT.
There's nothing secret about his faggotery, is just that after all this years everyone was just tired of pretending he wasnt a faggot.
Because it ruins the subtlety of the joke, leaving it to the viewers to debate whether hes gay or not based on scraps of evidence helps the humor. Outright stating it ruins it.

So why did Robert take HIS ENTIRE FAMILY to the Starks home? Does the book explain this? I understand him taking his wife, kinda, but did he really have to bring the midget, joffrey, the guy who fucks his sister too? I just don't understand this.
I take my entire family places all the time. It's one of the perks of being super wealthy and powerful.
>>66628167
why wouldn't he?
He did it as a show of force. He hadn't seen ned since the rebellion, so 10ish years.
Had he just wanted to summon ned, he could have sent a raven.
Discuss.
Comfy show.
