    Let's be real here the whale sucked fucking ass. It tricked the audience in the first half but by the time he was weezing "people are amazing" and gorging on pizza to kill himself I lost every bit of good will for the whole thing, felt so cheap and manipulative. Is it Fraser's fault? No, but holy fuck the more I think about this movie the more annoyed I get.

    IMO both Paul Mescal and Colin Farrell did a better job also, but I guess his comeback is a more compelling narrative for an awards show.

      The Whale shows that fat people don't just have to be comic relief or evil bad guys, they can also be miserable dying piles of flesh.

      What nuance!(I'm making fun of some quotes the director said about portraying fat people as human in films)

      Real talk though just fucking make films about happy fat people(that aren't necessarily comical), it's not that hard.

      Also the title is just the oscarbait version of that Kojima quote scolding people that they will feel ashamed once they find out the lore reason why the hot sniper lady absolutely has to wear lingere in battle.
