How so?
I've met guys who live that lifestyle and not a single one is charming or cool.
they're pathetic dumbfricks. literally patheticly dumb and fricking stupid as hell.
they steal because they're lazy and have no impulse control. they go to jail because they're dumb as frick.
they're also fricking stupid as frick. actual simpletons.
Okay professor anon, posting your opinion here on Cinemaphile, the world's most renowned gathering of intellectuals like yourself
they're so dumb they bet their rent on a dare, lose it, then rob a convenience store, and spend it on booze because they forgot they had to pay rent, then fight the landlord and end up in jail (again) while their gf has to sell her ass to pay for baby formula.
the movie acts like he's some lost soul, he's not, he's just a dumb gayget.
>seething because they have a gf
>missing the point
I have a gf too, I don't like her very much though. she's portuguese 🙁
I like the focus on small crime, but they really left out the grime to the point that it glorifies being a deadshit criminal. it wasn't terrible though, besides my griping.
this: He's clearly got some talent as a filmmaker but he's a bad eriter. There's a reason he hasn't really done anything significant since, either.
I was kind of disappointed that the character based on me died 30 minutes into the movie tbh
Not really. I admire its ambition but the last third is pretty lame.
You’re an idiot
Dane DeHaan is a terrible actor and his part of the story is derivative, aimless and comparatively not nearly as interesting. Terribly sorry my opinion triggers you.
there’s literally no point to the entire movie without the third act. you don’t have the ability to discern theme, you have a 90 iq, you don’t know what good or bad acting is. the way in which you engage with art is surface level.
>who bro like fate brought us together man you dad killed my dad but we're ignorant of that so we're friends
>like whoa now I found out and can't handle it
>I'm gonna buy a bike from a dude on craigslist and be just like my deadbeat, deceased dad, can't change fate, man
wow, amazing; deep; not surface level writing
Yes.
>there’s literally no point to the entire movie without the third act
Which is why it's such a problem that it isn't very good.
>you don’t have the ability to discern theme
I'm criticizing the execution, you dimwit. If you can't discern between that and taking fault with a film conceptually it's because you're the one with the sub 90 IQ
It has a good atmosphere nice aesthetic is neat. But that's about it. Calling it one of the best is a stretch though.
It's too long, unneccesary "dirty cop" plotline eith Liota which added 30 extra minutes to the movie because liberal filmmakers can't help themselves, and the 3rd act felt out of place tonally. It was maybe trying to be too ambitious: I understand trying to show the cosmic impact the murder had on the children, but the whole script needed to be condensed more and rewritten. And this is to say nothing of the pacing and tonal issues all throughout. It's like a 6/10, about my baseline for decent movie, but it has several issues throughout. Coopers performance saves it, or it would probably be rated even lower in my book. In any case, this movie is FAR from being one of the best of the 21st century.
>dirty cops aren't a thing
try leaving your house occasionally
I didn't say they weren't, but the dirty cop plotline had no significant bearing on the plot, unlike a dirty cop plotline that does, such as the one in something like Better Call Saul.
>Try leaving your house occasionally
I do every day, and I'm about to right now: have to mow my lawn, run to the verizon store, and go grocery shopping. Then I'm going to a concert later this evening, and then a dance club. Thanks for your concern, but I lead a pretty active work/social life.

They said while posting on Cinemaphile's television and film board.
posting on Cinemaphile does not prohibit me from having an active social and professional life. Idk friend, feels like projection on your part.
>responds after a "I'm about to leave to pursue my active social life" post
Just don't respond if you're gonna LARP like that
I fail to understand what you're so upset about: you attacked me saying I never leave my house, and I made it known that I do in fact leave my house, and have plans for the day. I'm finishing my breakfast and then going to leave. You sound angry. I'm sorry if I said anything to upset you, but I think ehat I fond most amusing is that I'm literally about to do what you told me to do, and you're throwing a fit about it. You are probably very lonely and miserable. I'll pray for you. Take care, and maybe take your own advice and "leave the house".
>you attacked me
>everyone laughing at me is the same person
Stopped reading. Now excuse me, I'm about to leave right now: have to mow my lawn, run to the verizon store, and go grocery shopping. Then I'm going to a concert later this evening, and then a dance club. Thanks for your concern, but I lead a pretty active work/social life.
>he's still posting
You lead a pretty sheltered life if you think dirty cops don't exist
I agree it's one of the greatest films of the century, and I feel like in 20 or 30 more years more people will agree.
But a lot of people went into it expecting a crime thriller, not a character drama. That's the main reason it's hated. People wanted more action and excitement.
>underrated
everybody that I know who has watched it loved it
Do you understand what underrated means?
It is adequately rated.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1817273/awards/
Take this "underrated" shit back to plebbit
>adequately rated
>7.3
Frick no, IMDb must be full of homosexuals for this shit to be so overrated
>gets show the awards page
>spergs about ratings
The point here, since it's whooshing over your head, is that the film has been acknowledged by judges across the globe. it's not something that went completely under the radar. Most see it for what it is.
the goose dies so the movie sucked
I can't see this movie without thinking about that anon who was an extra in the opening scene lmao
It's not even Cianfrance's best work. That would either be I Know This Much Is True or Blue Valentine.
based, BV is goated. Not a big Ruffalo fan and IKTMIT looked way too long and depressing for me but I hear it's great.
Can't wait for his take on goose-werewolves
I was pretty disappointed by the sixth and final episode of I Know This Much Is True but the first five were so strong that I'd probably still recommend it on balance. It is depressing though, so fair warning.
Act III > Act I > Act II
The two kids give the best performance of the entire movie. Also the music in this movie is fricking incredible
I never got the hate for the third act. I watched the movie was a 17 year old and to me the third act was by far the most powerful and memorable, maybe because it felt more relatable.
>yoooo I can only watch a movie if I can relate!
Black person detected
the vast majority of people watch the first part and think it’s gonna be le epic gosling motorcycle movie. then it’s revealed that it’s actually about family/sins of the father etc, so everything after that first part they don’t like
I've watched the movie with a few people I know and my observation is that generally women like the later parts of the movie and men prefer the earlier parts of the movie. Women like the focus on family and consequences whereas men prefer the crime and violence aspects.
I dunno, I really admired the scope and ambition of the story. The death of Gosling's character is the point where I leaned in. I love the idea. I just don't think the last third is executed very well.
There's really two primary avenues for the story to take once it reaches the third act; either the DeHaan character takes his revenge and the story becomes a tragedy or he chooses a better path and the story is about choice rather than determinism. I feel like either conclusion could be strong but it seemed like the filmmaker had trouble deciding and ended up going with somewhat of a compromise between the two things, which came across as more muddled than nuanced to me. Sometimes art is about making bold choices and owning them and I felt like he fumbled the opportunity to do so. Ending with the symbolism of him buying the motorcycle at the end seemed fairly trite to me.
The end was bittersweet to me. He wasn't fully "broke bad" but he was't good either. He was maybe going on a path that would make him like his father, but we don't know for sure. The ambiguity of it was part of the effectiveness. We're left wondering what life he'll life afterwards, based on what we think of him so far.
Fair enough. I've admittedly only seen it once and I'd be curious to give it a second appraisal to see if my opinion changes at all.
Fate and cyclical nature had a lot to do with the movie, gosling didn’t know his dad, becomes a drifting criminal, dane didn’t know his dad, becomes a drifting criminal. Bradley Coopers dad is shrewd and conniving, etc etc
It's funny and ironic how morons on here hate the movie when it's actually one of the only modern movies completely about men and issues relating to men and masculinity.
>It's funny and ironic how morons on here hate the movie
newbie. This movie gets talked about here a ton and there are always various takes about what is good or bad about it and why.
>someone's opinion differs from my own. How ironic!
frick off
>the vast majority of people watch the first part and think it’s gonna be le epic gosling motorcycle movie.
Where are you getting this from?
ive known so many rich kid twats who act like this its fricking hilarious how accurate the portrayal is. ive never seen another movie get it this accurate with these types
Literally me
>every White character is corrupt or morally compromised in some way
>every non-White character is an angel
Waste of time.
The latina is shown to be a cheating prostitute like 15 minutes into the movie.
Plebs filtered by third act. Many such cases.
>some gay trash
>underrated
Are you stupid? It is vastly overrated.
Look I hate cops as much as the next guy, but the idea that they'd roll up to Gosling's baby mama's house just to steal their money is kind of a stretch.
>cops aren't that** bad
Well let's see
