Movie has a lot of different themes. But ultimately doesn't really go in depth on any of them. Which is why as a story this film falls short. There's some funny scenes in it, usually involving the parents. And i would say one memorable shocking scène ( and i am not easily shocked) with Oliver.
I meant themes more as in the film starts out as a classic boy goes to school, doesnt have any friends but the autismo guy. Finally gets an in with the cool guys, drops autismo guy. The movie never follows up on that. Relationship between Oliver and rich kid established. So we go to the Salt burn estate. Nothing happens between them anymore. Its really just about the rich guys fricked up family. Until out of the blue, the director decided to make it into a revenge plot for the poor. Talented mr ripley is introduced. it's like 4 different films in one but all of those films really do a much better job at it than this one.
> The movie never follows up on that.
Michael calls him a bootlicker at the library but that’s about it. Would have been an interesting twist if Michael was a charity case of Felix’s in the past. It seems like he chose someone each year he felt sorry for so he could feel like a good person, before getting bored and dropping them for a new one.
used to know someone who worked in the production side of film. not in the US but they said its all the same (mostly) worldwide. There are some exceptions, but thats really it. tends to be in the contracts of bigger name actors that they show up first, or at least appear the biggest.
I'm going to watch this soon, I'm so excited it sounds great and I love Rosamund Pike and Barry Keoghan
I love that it makes you all mad that bodes well
Im so sick of real life where no one acts like a hunan being.
I dont know what to tell you anon. Its getting crazy out there. Maybe art is just immitating life
Isn't that the appeal of movies?
It's Yorgos Lanthimos for Tik-Tokers.
None of those people are dressed like the early 2000s
It's not like those two young morons in the middle can act anyway.
They both fricking suck. The fact that the inbred irish kid got an oscar nomination without delivering one line that sounds natural astounds me.
He must have licked so much israelite ass over the last year.
You really think wealthy aristocrats would act like normal human beings?
Is this gay shit? I won't watch this shit if it's gay shit.
It's pretty gay but it isn't romanticising them, you're supposed to be disgusted by the gay stuff

of course it HAS themes. every story HAS themes. doing anything of value with them is what makes good art good. and it's what makes this movie shit.

That tagline pisses me off.
I was kinda curious to see it when I thought it was a fruity (not actually gay) drama but after learning it was a whacky murder movie I lost interest
How much dick is Barry slurping to go from moron dee-dee-dee kid in Dunkirk to being in literally everything?
Look at him, the guy would commit the most heinous shit and not think about it twice.
DING DING DING DING DING DING DING
>names along top of poster don't line up with actors
I know they go in order of popularity or whatever but it still bothers me.
>” I only read the first two names on a poster then I lose interest…”
This is how dumb they think people are, and they might be right…
Its the order in which they were cast for the movie. Barry received a role first then so on.
You’re pulling my leg, is that really the reason?
>is that really the reason?
yes
How do you know?

Armond destroyed already
MOVIE WAS TRASH
I dub it as arthouse tiktok
Anyone feel bad for Barry straightening his suit thinking he was winning best actor at The Golden Globes?
Is this another pretentious A24-esque quasi-art film?
Least capeshit-brained Cinemaphile poster.
>capeshit
>a24
You know what capeshit means, right anon….?
Nobody thinks you're saying A24 is capeshit. He's saying you're so rotted by capeshit that you think any real movie is "A24" pretentious shit
I’ve never even seen a marvel movie and I liked Saltburn. Speak for yourself anon.
Least homosexual Letterboxd user
Why are they so smug?
I'm sick of movie posters where the names don't align with the actors.
stop watching products made after 2007
Female writers
>every cool chad must be a witty borderline female bisexual jock
He’s that 6’5 borderline female you ordered
Precisely what I mean, he'd be a hard masculine grug in reality
