I’m kind of looking forward to this one. I’ve always enjoyed the Saw movies but Jigsaw wasn’t good at all. i actually thought jigsaw was best Saw flick since the first (second rocked too).

jehurey 3,227 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Many people have enjoyed Knives Out, and chances are alot of people have watched it already. I noticed that the story included some elements that could be seen as political, but since you could omit that stuff entirely and just appreciate the cleverness of the movie because of its who-done-it mystery and so many twists and turns, I figured that the political commentary was just some additional flourish to give character to the main people in the movie. Intentionally made to make the protagonist more likable. But this video really ties it together that the director/writer clearly went out of his way to put a political commentary in the movie, and it seems like that was a hidden layer the story. Since it clearly elements about the twists and the ending, I will put the youtube video analysis under spoiler: Spoiler I've also seen movie analysis that also puts a similar theory to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining that there's a subtle commentary in the movie that is about White Europeans coming to America and driving out the Natives and antagonizing them.

-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Watched Birds of Prey. It was a lot of fun. Dumb, but entertaining af Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,891 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I watched The Blackcoat's Daughter on netflix. Its a horror movie with a pretty traditional story, but the way it gets there is clever and well done. Worth a watch. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ike★ 2,906 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 The Outsider continues to be the best drama of 2020. You guys are missing out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,906 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I need to watch Parasite apparently. It cleaned up at the Oscars. Good to see Joaquin win and Taika get recognition. I still need to watch Jojo Rabbit as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,891 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I bet movie studios are gonna start throwing a shitload of offers and money at Bong Joon-ho. Can't wait to see what he works on next. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can't wait to see what he works on next. Dude is going to be hotter than Guillermo Del Toro and Ang Lee. I think we're not too far away from American movie stars going to korea for movie roles, or Korean production companies simply making movies in America with American actors. What is very huge is if the Academy Awards just start treat all international films as regular films, and they start winning the major awards, including Best Picture. That's why Parasite winning was pretty important. I remember getting Facebook ads from Alamo Drafthouse last year promoting Parasite as their exclusive movie, and they were advertising the shit out of it. I was thinking "damn, it must be really good if they pushing it this hard." I wonder what the box office numbers will be for Parasite this upcoming week. The director said that they were transferring it to be in black and white, and since I haven't seen the movie, that's the version I want to see. Fucking Stephen A. Smith is a co-host for ABC's post-Oscar awards special.........and its fucking ridiculous. This dumb motherfucker is just asking everybody about Parasite with exasperation.

Wow I kinda didn’t believe you but I just looked it up and they really had this guy talking about the oscars? I thought when they put him to talk about ufc was ridiculous but this is worse. Just stick to football and basketball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casual 726 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Saw 1917 the other week and Just Mercy over the weekend. Both were real dope. The way they shot 1917 was so cool. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Delita 698 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 and I would say the best film award is deserving. Wouldn’t have been my personal choice but it was pretty good. Only problem I think is that people are going to go in with an unrealistic expectation who haven’t seen it now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
