meh

I forget if resurrection releases here in 2025

“For that whole sequence of lines, I have to give so much credit to Benicio who I got to work with probably the most in this film. He was so very specific about what his character was. He came out right from the set of The Phoenician Scheme, and he had this cacophony of amazing ideas of who Sensei was. And that’s why we really stopped production for three months to wait for him, because we knew that there was only one Sensei in this world, and that was Benicio. And he came in with so many different ideas. That whole Harriet Tubman thing came from his imagination. We had a whole other sequence set in place where I was going to make a kill. And he was like, ‘Well, if this guy kills somebody, what is my allegiance to him?’

Crossing that line from idealist to killer would have changed his character?

We spoke about it for days. We were like, ‘Yeah, true. You do admire him. You’re an admirer of the French 75. You’re a revolutionary yourself, but how much are you going to risk your life for this guy?’ That propelled us all to that sort of made-up road trip we came up with in a week. The whole immigration center that he had going on in his house, his entire family unit, that was all made up within a week. A lot of those lines between he and I were just improvised. He came in with that sense of ocean waves and that inner peace. His calmness with my hysteria, it happened on day one, we could feel it was a beautiful thing. I just give so much credit to Benicio for his specificity and his character because it gave me so much to play off of, that ‘Thank you Sensei!’ stuff just kind of happened. And then the ‘Viva la revolution!’ stuff happened, and then the stuff on the rooftop with his guys. He imagined the Sensei would have a crew, and that he would have a crew at the hospital. He’d have crews everywhere. He’s got the whole neighborhood on tap. That was all made up. A lot of this stuff was improvised and a lot was written. It was a mixed bag.”

Netflix’s first Best Picture Oscar?

that shot of benecio at 0:19 is so cool man

They won't own WB by the time this wins

Yeah reading Benecio was the reason for my favorite sequence in the film is crazy.

I wonder what kill PTA originally had planned

Not even joking when I say this might be the prettiest anyones ever looked

30 minutes of Leo and PTA talking about Star Wars, Battle of Algiers, Midnight Run, The Searchers, Dog Day Afternoon, The Aviator

I was gonna post the Konbini video damn

She don’t hit the same w/ the straight hair
I needed the spell broken BADLY

This movie really does deserve all the awards it's getting

You preferred when she was playing 16

this is unnecessary

These thirst posts have gone far enough. That's my line going forward

Glad BDT got the nom, I’ve been going thru his filmography past few weeks and he’s such an incredible actor. Much more understated performance in this film but he was just as strong as penn imo
