Lets not overrate this folks. Its good but not five stars. More like 3.5. The antiChristian themes of it are gross and every woman character is a woke ass feminist c**t. The guy is also gay which has zero relevence to the plot. It's just pure woke pandering. Great art doesnt pander as much as this movie does especially to the woke movement. The film lacks authenticity due to its insistence of being politicized.
I just finished watching it, i honestly shed a tear
I haven't watched it, and will never, but honestly...
I won't cry over missing out on it.
But good for Brandon though, he deserved that Oscar, though it is a participation trophy society at this point.
The movie has some intense moments, and yeah i'm also happy for Brandon, he deserved it
>The guy is also gay which has zero relevence to the plot. It's just pure woke pandering
It's based off a true story and the real Whale was a homosexual as well.
they chose to turn his story into a movie just because he was a gay
The israeli director specifically changed the ending to send the fat glutton to heaven
I realize that israeli propaganda anti-christianity is gay and cringe but once all the israelites are dead I will still never respect you christgays
Never liked you and never will
Especially on Cinemaphile, where none of you are even Christian, just contrarian degenerates pretending that you aren't just a big gay moron
Agios O Holocaust
>The antiChristian themes of it are gross
lmao, religious gays and school dropouts are fricking hilarious, hoping to have something after dead based on random events no one is watching.
The consciousness resides on the micro tubules, once the brain dies is lights out.
You are not just wrong but comically wrong. It is SO obvious Christianity is the real religion. Atheists just are angry at our Father for the world not being perfect.
So wait why is the movie called the whale? Just because he's fat? That's a little cruel isn't it?
Nah its because or you're mom
It's a reference to moby dick.
Unironically the whale is the daughter, or at least the idea of her imo. Frasier has this romantic idea that shes secretly smart and kind and that if he can just be a cool teacher and dad all her assumed good qualities will come out and they will both finally be happy. In reality she is a terror, more or less irredeemable, and he is the farthest thing from cool, in part because he ruined his life for her sake. But he still chases the whale.
The whole thing about the whale is that he is eating himself to a fat monstrosity to distract the world about what horrible shitty person he is by fricking over his family.
'…and I felt saddest of all when I read the boring chapters that were only descriptions of whales, because I knew that the author was just trying to save us from his own sad story, just for a little while.'
He wants them to focus on the description of the beast instead of their sad story. At least what I got out of it.
Well yea thats the other half of the angle and that quote reinforces it i think. The playwright knew everypony would see whale and think it must be the fat character, but then if you look at the script the way an english teacher would, you see parallels to moby dick and then you see frasier is ahab and not the whale. Thigh admittedly i havent read moby dick and i also did not like this movie and did not pay much attention to it.
Also i didnt pay much attention to your comment which is why my reply doesnt make sense as a reply to it.
>everypony
what was the last part of the quote? its cut off deliberately but at the end it makes them both smile.
i took the whale to be his fat-ness, which is the whale charlie needs to overcome. he is moby and ahab.
Anyone else here enjoy harassing israeli kids waiting to catch the bus to school?
I love it. They're terrified of being killed.
Being Christian doesnt mean to hate israelites. It means to pray for them.
It's kino.
Plain and simple.
Did some Black person get all uppity that he won, or was that one of the other winners?
FAT people are disgusting. Fricking have a nice day if you're fat.
Or just start working out. You can actually eat more than you realize and lose weight if you're fat, as long as you walk for an hour a day.
You dont even need to work out, just eat less. Caloric intake vs calories burned
This gets deathfat psychology wrong but the nasty female characters are more interesting because of how vile they are, which is probably only that way to force sympathy onto the “whale” or whatever. The fake missionary kid got the only good ending despite the movie being cynical and cold about God.
>religious gay kills himself by not eating
>brendan kills himself by overeating because....
>religious gay
Same story beats as The Whale but done better.
>no Brendan Fraser eating until he explodes scene
pass
I really hate when a movie ends on a cliffhanger (Charlie getting abducted by aliens) but the studio hasn't greenlighted a sequel
This is honestly the only honest review I've seen of this film other than my own
I hate to break it to you, but you’re a certified plotgay, and thus need to gtfo
What's antichristian about some fat moron
>Antichristian themes
lol this movie is such a filter. the main character GETS TAKEN UP BY JESUS and you think its antichristian. the movie is literally about forgiveness and redemption
>him being gay has 0 relevance to the plot
he gets socially rejected for it. if he left his wife for a woman he mightve taken the hate a bit better and not eaten himself to death. also his lover killed himself because he started wodnering if he was a sinner bc he was gay (i think)
When did he ever reedem himself or seek forgiveness?
moron
The themes of the movie are not well thought out. He triples down on his sins and selfishness, hurts those around him, kills himself and then ascends to heaven.
One funny thing that those fawning over the film miss is that homosexuality is being portrayed as a repulsive and negative trait. Would the movie had have been better if he wasn't gay? Probably not because it's not realistic that he would seduce a young female student, the character would come across as more of a pedo than a deviant coombrain. I think they should have just been more subtle about it instead of opening up with gay porn
He is bisexual. He chose to cheat on his wife. That's why it is a sin
>homosexuality is being portrayed as a repulsive and negative trait
Most media literate reactionary.
>muh politics
Go choke on dick.
It made me laugh out loud. The melodrama was so over played
Up
>zero relevence to the plot
it was the reason he abandoned his family
>pandering
It was his undoing, it was what lead to his suffering. It was not putting it in a good light.
Hong Chau was great in this. Been a fan of her acting since I saw her in American Woman with Sarah Gadon.
