Watching Troy. Literal dogshit.

F*** Emily Wilson for life

All my homies hate Emily Wilson

We got you saying this and reviews mentioning how bloodless (I’m assuming exaggerating, haven’t seen yet) sword wounds are, and then on the flip side we have one random dude ITT saying “it’s much darker then what's in ads, MPAA was kind of lenient on the R-Rating tbh.”

what’d she do

I watched Oppenheimer with simu Liu directly after I watched barbie

Benny Safdie coolest looking motherfucker on film this year. Until he wasn't

ngl this was close to my thoughts as well

Name me one good Portuguese actor or actress you h**** f***s

Decided to go for another round for this coming Friday, this time in 4DX

Nolan really heard the adlibs on this and said hold up

Thematically it’s dark

But so are PG 13 Nolan movies

S***ty person but Zendaya will never give a performance half as good as what she did as Wonder Woman

The witch scene scared me more than most if any horror film in a long time

your Zendaya hate is insane

Watched this last night and thought it was okay but not great. Weakest aspect of the film was acting and dialogue, i did not really like the ‘modernized’ take on it that Nolan went for. It felt particularly heavy handed and there were some noticeably bad lines/line deliveries. The supporting cast did better than the a-listers here.

I did quite enjoy all the scenes related to the actual sacking of Troy, and what that meant for Odysseus. I liked Nolan further exploring the thematic through line of ‘civilization and its supposedly “great” men bringing about an evil into the world and fracturing society’, which he started with tenet and went even further with in Oppenheimer. the encounter with circe, venturing into hades, and all the scenes with Athena also stood out to me.

I’m of the opinion that the editing and general tempo of this film and Oppenheimer mostly detract rather than help them, though it’s somewhat understandable given the sheer amount of plot that Nolan is fitting into both movies. I can see influence from malick when it comes to cross-cutting between the past and present, but the emotional weight behind those cuts in malicks films is completely gone here imo, as they mostly serve to just transition between scenes and memories. I also see tarkovskys influence, but Nolan just doesn’t have his patience and it takes away from the world-building and visual splendor the film is going for. Obviously Nolan is making movies for a wider audience than those two filmmakers but it wouldn’t hurt to lean into their sensibilities just a tad bit more.

I also felt that Ludwig was treading similar ground for the music during the tenser sequences, felt pretty safe for his standards. I still think tenet is his best score and is damn near revolutionary.

Overall this honestly might be one of my least favorite Nolan films but i respect the effort and ambition

She f***ed with the essence of the original story.. Nolan decided to primarily base his screenplay off her version 🥀

I mean there are scenes I really like . I enjoy the movie experience but as an entire movie is it perfect no not by any means. Some exposition and characters feeling a bit too much like characters and less human.

Gal wasnt even a great wonder woman in the wonder woman movie. She just played ditzy with the brain of a child well. So well in fact that she was originally going to be Barbie too. Because they know she wouldnt have to act dumb.

Zendaya acts better than that man. The Drama and Euphoria exist. I cant speak to spider man. This she solid in but not stand out. I dont love her in dune 1 but come on

5 minutes of her performance as Rue in euphoria s***s on Gal's whole acting career
