Hey I’m glad you actually took my recommendations.
Totally get that with Whiplash it’s a tough watch. Funnily I’m not that artsy myself I was more drawn to both Fletcher and Miles as I found them fascinating but understandable that it’s not for everybody.
Yeah I get what you mean about No Country for Old Men and how it’s not your typical the “the bad guy always wins” cliche; frankly to suggest that’s indicative of real life is kinda insulting from Hollywood lol.
Awesome. I hope I can make it 2/3 in my favour with There Will Be Blood.
Whilst I’m here I saw Warfare recently and thought it was amazing. Basically super realistic to war and less Hollywood. Not graphic realism so much, although a little gore, but more the mundane side of war and the complete chaos. Really fascinating.
Watched Warfare yesterday. Agreed, very down to earth, and very unlike Hollywood. It was a good movie. I didn’t understand wtf was even their mission, it looked like they chosen a random house and made that their strongpoint lol
Maybe i missed the plot, not a native English speaker
Kinda gore indeed, my gf appeared behind me exactly when screen was all shredded legs, by her look she was wondering if i am alright
So I believe they were there as they had intel an enemy would be in the area so the would just take over someone house to use as a base.
Once all the enemies came the mission changed from kill some dude to not die themselves.
