In Bruges

UrianUrian __BANNED USERS regular
edited September 2008 in Social Entropy++
Just saw this. You all need to see it.

Yes, even you. And you.

It stars Colin Farrel, Brendan Gleeson, and Ralph Fiennes. One of my top 20 favorite films of all time and this is only after one viewing, but it's pretty much perfect with the right blend of humor, symbolism, amazing dialogue, and just a brilliantly put together and extremely focused film.

    I mean basically if you're robbing a man and you're only carrying blanks and you allow your gun to be taken off you and you allow yourself to be shot in the eye with a blank which I assume that the person has to get quite close to you then, yeah really it's all your fault for being such a poof, so why don't you stop wingeing and cheer the fuck up.

    Why should somebody have to convince you to do something that would benefit you?

    That's like saying "Hey, someone tell me why I should bother cashing my next paycheck."

    I don't hit women. I would never hit a woman, Chloe. I'd hit a woman who was trying to hit me with a bottle. That's different. That's self-defense, isn't it? Or a woman who could do karate. I would never hit a woman generally, Chloe.

    The first and most obvious thing as far as trying to draw people in is just how sharp and witty the dialogue is, as well as the humor in general.

    The film is an extremely hard dark comedy, however, more so a symbolic drama IMO with a very strong comedic side. It has so much in it but at the same time is so pure and uncomplicated that I wouldn't do it justice by saying I can give you a good idea of what to expect. I can't. Everyone loves it but I would think that some people could take certain things from it while other can take other things (in regards to the message kind of side to it). The basic premise is that it's just two guys hanging around Bruges shooting the shit. You get to find out why they're there and what happens while they're there, and I would be spoiling the movie if I said anything about that.

    It's god great actors, a great script, a GREAT setting, great characters, and a very focused and purposeful story.

    A lot of midgets tend to kill themselves. The disproportionate, I meant. Herv Villechaize offed on Fantasy Island. I think somebody offed on Time Bandits. I suppose they must get really sad about like being really little and that people looking at them, laughing at them, calling them names. You know, short arse. There's another famous midget. I miss him but I can't remember. It's not the R2D2 man; no, he's still going. I hope your midget doesn't kill himself. Your dream sequence will be fucked.
