What gave it away?

Good to see you, virtually

 

[fed up]

Stunts to be added to the Oscars....

I'm going to have to approach your fillum recommendations with an artery shredding dose of salt from now on m8.

I thought it was an absolute bag of shit
Lol at the tacked on '

Spoiler: Brutalist spoiler

oh I dunno lets make him a rapist

The kind of self indulgent, up its own arse type of movie that exemplifies everything wrong with the Oscars.

The ultimate watch it once to see what the fuss is about then consign it to the dustbin of your memory never to be watched again.

In short it was brutal.

I want my 3hours 36 mins back!!

One's ambition is another's self-indulgence.

From a technical point of view (both in terms of acting and every aspect of production) - "The Brutalist" is undeniably brilliant. I will presume that you watched it at home and therefore didn't have the same experience as I did in the cinema - with no real distractions and the scale is bigger.

By the same token - if you did watch it at home - you could have turned it off at any point.

I do agree that the spoilered piece is completely unnecessary in terms of narrative and used by Corbet only because he thinks that he is smarter than his audience who need to guidance as to who is righteous and who is evil in the film. This is his major failing - underestimating the people who will watch this. The denouement triggered by that scene doesn't ring true and the more I thought about it was also a little pointless.

I avoided all interviews with the director/actors until after I saw it. Listening to him on a few podcasts - Brady Corbet comes across as a total, self-aggrandising, cinematically holier than thou, arrogant langer.

That said, I will watch it again because I think that it is a flawed masterwork - in the same vein as "Nashville", "Barry Lyndon", "Magnolia", "Reds" or "The Last Temptation Of Christ".

Alright, calm down Barry Norman.

I wasn't gone on it.
I dont like Adrian Brody much, this didn't change my opinion.

I rewatched The Pianist a few months back , that hasn't held up well. Tbh I think Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant were pretty spot on about Holocaust fillums being pure oscar bait.


The spoilered scene felt crowbarred in. Unnecessary. We already understood your man was a total bollocks.

Id add your man's heroin problems. It felt totally hackneyed and tacked on.

(I'd say Barry Lyndon is one of my favourite Kubrick Movies. Every shot is like an oil painting.)

The films that are up for and indeed win Oscars are mostly muck and have been with quite some time. It's whoever runs the most effective advertising and courting of voters moreso than any real quality.


Look at the list of winning pictures for the last 25 years and bar one or two exceptions there's very few films there you'd ever watch again.
