Listened to the opening song Cumberland Gap quite a few times since watching this about a week ago. Guy Ritchie movies always did have good soundtracks.
I just watched this a few days ago and paused it to look up the cumberland gap song
It's really evocative.
I liked the trainspotting soundtrack:
It's almost universally recognised as one of the best film soundtracks of all time.
Just a few days ago I watched this and had to pause it to look up the song cumberland gap.
I got into Metric cause of this song.
from Collateral club scene:
I knew about Junkie XL way before I watched Ginger Snaps but that movie introduced me to some really great hidden gems in music
?t=68
The song from John Wick in the club with the underground spa baths.
I was in public and this song came on
?t=63
had no idea what it was
later that day something about morricone came up on tv and they played it so I knew
big coincidence
Not a movie but still, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otwucZMciUM
shame the movie was complete garbage
You’re wrong and possibly homosexual. Enjoy pride month
>let's tell the entire movie in flashback form so there's no tension
could've been so good
It's a comedy.....
funny scenes also require tension
flashback structure deflates the whole thing, especially since it takes up the whole movie
I took it more as building mystery. Killing off your main character in the opening minutes is generally done so the story builds up to who did it. I don't think the movie was great, though it was okay, but I don't think the story structure was particularly detrimental.
it's not the killing of off mcconaugheyjgg that i minded, i'd actually forgotten about that
it's framing everything as a story told by hugh grant - complete with hypothetical scenes
Pretty common framing device. How did that kill tension for you?
because in this movie it's not a framing device, it's the entire film almost to the last frame
they consistently interrupt the story for the scenes between hugh grant and the guy from sons of anarchy
it feels like an extended intro... for the whole film
>because in this movie it's not a framing device, it's the entire film almost to the last frame
That's a framing device. Fletcher playing Ray is the secondary story which frames the first and the two intersect directly towards the end of the film. Not remarkable.
not him but it's pretty bad, nothing compared to his early ones
Can confirm it’s good
Why the fuhuk do you think anyone cares what you think
One of the best films in the past few years
It's shocking how bad his movies are. Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch are kino but his storytelling is absolute garbage. No exposition at all, just a character who has secret underground knowledge giving you an hour long monologue about who everyone is and what their motivations and intentions are as if it were a film made for people with Downs Syndrome.
Why the frick do you need exposition? You get the pertinent information in fun, quick, effective bites and move on. Literally good film making.
If Guy Richie made No Country for Old Men 90% of the movie would have taken place in the office where Carson Wells meets the cartel connected-businessman where Carson just narrates every single scene that's happened up to that point.
>Now enters our friend, Anton Chigurh. Some people fink e's the world's ultimate badarse, but I personally fink he's more like da black deaf! *Cue contextless short action slips of Chigurh murdering the police officer and car driver*
And how did Mr. Chigurh find our acquaintance Mr. Moss? The poor bloke never fot to check the suitcase fer a trackin device! Looks loike he bit off a bigger piece of the pie than he was anticipatin'!
I like Lock,Stock and Snatch but this is really accurate and does show how quickly Ritchie's shtick gets old.
disturbingly accurate
I remember looking up this song as well. Reminds me of The Chain
>Reminds me of The Chain
By Fleetwood Mac?
Yeah guess it's because of the harmonies
I was pretty dismissive towards White Stripes thinking they were a one (okay maybe two) hit wonder until Peacky Blinders
have a nice day, my guy.
Shipping off the Boston by Drop kick Murphys
That song is used so well in Departed. I think everyone that saw it wanted to know what the song was after.
Another one was Long Tall Sally. I sing it every time I go to kareoke.
Forgot pic
For me it's Comfortably Numb
I assume everyone who liked The Gentlemen also enjoys capeshit, it's a boring quipfest with constant montages
Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay had intriguing pieces that inspired self-reflection and promoted well-being:
A lot of them really. Huge chunk of my playlists are songs I picked up from movies.
