I don't know what would have been a good end but I agree and I was not a fan of Silence's ending.Loved Silence up until the ending. Should've left it ambiguous
Alright darlings. Which is better: Silence or First Reformed?
(Have yet to watch the latter, in personal terms. Reserve my vote.)
Is this Thanos burner account?Endgame is a pile of shit that seemed to never end. A slog of a narrative based on repetition of prior events, an absurd amount of saccharine that has no right to exist and everything culminates in a cgi cringefest final battle. Point me to a well composed scene in this film. You can't.
Snap this film from existence.
Silence by a hair. Both stupendous, and First Reformed has the better performance(s), but Silence is Scorsese in wizened master modeAlright darlings. Which is better: Silence or First Reformed?

I thought Silence was disappointing while FR went past my expectations.Alright darlings. Which is better: Silence or First Reformed?

I far prefer First Reformed. I like Silence but I don't think of it as one of Scorsese's best as some do. Silence is only ever interesting to me 1.In the conversations scenes involving Ogata/Neeson for its dicussion of imperialism and the culutural lens through which we interpret meaning 2.In how it treats the character of Kichijiro on sin and forgiveness. But these scenes are brief and not perfect. It kinda lost me on the discussion of faith. First Reformed's concerns are may be not as interesting but feel a lot more immediate and relevant to today but that's just the top layer of the story. Beneath is the age old Paul Schrader character from Taxi Driver. However Schrader does some interesting things with this premise using elements from the the genre he calls the Transcendental Style. And that ending is amazing. Silence is the more visually pleasing film though.
Sorry to hear that friendThe only two movies I've watched in a month are Shazam and Endgame.
Shazam got overshadowed by Endgame and Captain Marvel, great movie...The only two movies I've watched in a month are Shazam and Endgame.
I really liked AdaptationBeing John Malkovich ever remains Kaufman's best.
Meanwhile, all onboard for that I'm Thinking of Ending Things adaptation..!! It's been too long since Anomalisa.....o_o
Braveheart
It's one of those must see films that I had never gotten around to watching since it's 3 hours long but I finally got around to it, it definitely lived up to the hype.
Just saw The Mirror by Tarkovsky. Incredible.
As an aspiring filmmaker myself, it's immensly inspiring to see, but also completely demotivating. Why bother, right?
It has been ages since I saw this! I was thinking of it recently and was wondering if it aged well. You're saying it is still holding up?
First Reformed is terrible, while Silence is a masterpiece.Alright darlings. Which is better: Silence or First Reformed?

Come and See (1985): Reputed as one of the most brutal war films ever made, I frankly found it to be a grinding slog, and not in the good way. It is indeed grim as hell, but it neglects to give you any real reason to care about what's happening onscreen.
If you film dorks hate comic book movies so much why do you bother watching them?
Wouldn't your time be better spent watching some experimental 5 hour German art house film shot entirely in someone's fridge?

Hey dude why do you feel so butthurt and threatened over some people not liking a movie made by a massive conglomerate that has been widely embraced by the general public and will make billions of dollars. What's at stake for you here exactlyIf you film dorks hate comic book movies so much why do you bother watching them?

Honestly none of the editing bothered me at all, the movie gets by on the hilarious two-man game between Georgie and Fanny. Proto Arrested Development.There are kernels of an interesting here that is just totally ruined in the ending. The film often feels rushed, especially in the second half, jumping from scene to scene without strong throughlines or glossing over fairly important plot or character turns in just seconds. Here and there you can get a glimpse of a good film buried underneath a lot of frankly baffling editing decisions (on more than one occasion the film fades out on a character mid-dialogue! they don't even finish speaking!); Welles' narration about George getting his comeuppance and no one being around to remember or care is a particular highlight. But a lot of character work feels muddled and the story of an old-money family being passed by the times feels like more of a backdrop than it should've been. The ending lives up to its infamous reputation and while it's not fair to hold that against Welles since he had no control of it, it still exists and is so utterly lame that I'm kind of amazed this movie has fans at all. I wasn't even that into it -- tbh I found the film pretty cold and distant for most of its length - and I even thought the ending totally ruined everything the story seemingly about and building toward. Maybe one day all the excised footage will show up in somebody's closet and a better recut will emerge.
5/10
I need to know something
is this movie racist? is it pro-imperalist or anti-imperalist? before I watch it
I'm just curious, I see a lot of vitriol directed towards MCU films in here and I'm curious why you guys even waste your time when it's clear you already know you're not going to like it. I get it, you don't like these films. Why bother watching them?
I'm not the one acting butthurt or.. Threatened? Really? Look at your post!
