got damn thats the most shocked ive been by a movie since cache
I think it depicts gun violence accurately. Fuck logic, fuck your accomplishments - it's all down to one pull of a trigger. The Safdie brothers didn't include some ethereal montage of his final moments; just immediate and crazy gun violence with no requiem.
Damn good movie. Highly recommend Good Time if you haven't checked it out.
I don't know how someone can live like that. I'd jump off the brooklyn bridge.
It's an addiction to danger, there's lots of people like it but usually in much different ways than Howard. Like there's that youtuber Ally Law who posts these fun but insane videos of him breaking in places and climbing high buildings. He's clearly gonna get himself or a kid who follows him and does the videos with him killed doing it, but at this point he's shown he'll never stop doing it cause he's constantly faced with legal issues and hasn't backed down.
Oh yeah absolutely. The highest highs beat the shitty lows. I've gone skydiving twice in my life and it's one of those things that never loses its edge. It's so fucking good.
I don't have much experience with gambling addicts and that was horrifying tho.
It really nailed the stress and emptiness of seeing two people at once well. Like the way he tried to get back with his wife then got back with his mistress was so scummy that it made it feel very real.
Best movie about the 2020 primaries without being at all about the primaries
It's not, but it follows the same narrative arc
There was a meme about this back in March on reddit. I forgot to save it because I hadn't seen the film and now I can't access. Anyone have it saved?
I have only a passing knowledge of irreversible/a serbian film and have seen midsommar, and i still cant comprehend at all why you listed the three together lol
I love the ending. In traditional stories, the hero will die after completing a goal - they saved the city, cured the disease, etc. It's no different in Uncut Gems. If your highest virtue, the sum of all your effort, is the salvation of a city, and you die saving it, then a normal narrative usually frames your death as heroic. You've achieved your highest virtue, your purpose. If your highest virtue is a fucking hail mary bet on a basketball player you loaned a gem to that almost certainly doesn't have magic power, and you die having achieved that bet, then do you not also die a hero's death? It's fucking fantastic.
