Jesus Christ posted:Oh man, thanks for reminding me to watch it again that it's about that time of the year to watch it again. loving owns. I went to buy Children of Men once and I wasn't paying attention and bought "City of Men" instead (lol i just like men apparently) and didn't realize it until i was watching it an everyone was speaking Portuguese. Both movies are very good and with the Olympics coming up City of Men or City of God would be great films to get you into the "everything is terrible here in the favela" mindset.

This movie was ok but it is no Mike Tyson Murder Mysteries, rated 4 Pigeons out of 11.

It's all coming true. We'll all be dying of zika and xenophobia soon. But at least we will have hottie Clive Owen to save the day.

Bill Barber posted:same but also with the early morning farm escape. Sons Of Anarchy should have ended with Charlie Humnan getting door checked by Clive Owen in a passing car. Out of Band II posted:Both movies are very good and with the Olympics coming up City of Men or City of God would be great films to get you into the "everything is terrible here in the favela" mindset. What's also good for that is Elite Squad movies. Jose Padilha got some poo poo about the film endorsing supposedly fascism and police brutality, because you see one guy lose his idealism and become a brutal police thug who almost about to sodomize a boy with a broomstick and blows off a crippled perp's face off with a shotgun, but the second film where they take Captain Nasciemento's character further and make him question the system he's apart of and they even make the liberal politician who married his ex-wife, who you think he's going to poo poo on Nasciemento threw out the film, actually a good guy that both he and Nasciemento help each other redeems everything.

I'm sorry Toadvine, it was me who stood you up. I didn't think you'd be so damaged by it that you would start posting on the SomethingAwful.com LLC forums. The baby crying and stopping the fighting before the longshot walk out is goddamn art.

Volume posted:Not kill the baby but yes kill the girl who gave birth. Dat baby was going to be used as a propaganda piece to lift up mother England to her rightful place in this nearly post apocalyptic world. Book is great also if you can stand flowery prose. This, but the book does the fishes and the government better. The goverment in the book is out and out authoritarian with interesting twists instead just lovely and slowly collapsing semi authoriterian like the movie. The fishes in the movie are bunch stupid knobend leftists who sorta mean well but are too loving stupid to think a head, "yeah lets kill the only smart leader we had" "woops lets kidnap the kid in the middle of warzone and execute them, Oh gently caress we are trapped in a heavily shelled building with no way out, because our ideological purity and stupidity hosed us all" Yeah the Government is awful and lovely in the movie. but ill take them over of a bunch of dumb gently caress former activist rebels. Plus they execute Michael Caine for no loving reason.

The long shots in that movie are incredible. The car chase is excellent and even though I think they snuck a cut in there the final battle scene is engrossing: it's like 15 minutes of one shot

punk rebel ecks posted:City of Men sounds like a spiritual sequel to City of God. I think it's the film version of a show that was a spin-off of City of God so that's pretty on the money. If you like one I'd recommend the other. Young Freud posted:elite squad thanks for the recommendation, i'll check it out incoherent light fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Jul 4, 2016 |

Guineapig posted:I liked it, too, the only thing I didn't understand is why there were wars killing lots of army guys. If you have an army of say, 100,000 guys and you do a battle where 1% are killed, in a world where there's no young recruits your army will only be 99% of its size before. the thing is once you no longer have children and an entire generation of young men in a nihilistic tail-spin it'd be pretty loving hard to keep control over civil society

I watched this movie once several years ago. I recall it hitting the end credits and I was like, "Welp. Probably should just go kill myself." One thing that I keep going back to is the whole premise of the movie: what if it's all a lie? What if the whole world HASN'T gone to poo poo, but only Britain/that corner of Europe, and the government is making all that up? I'm not sure if that is what I'm SUPPOSED to take away from it, or what. I suppose I could rewatch it but man, it was heavy enough the first time.

It's one of those movies that's essentially a director's cut which is why it's more of a sleeper hit than a mainstream success, because the mainstream cant loving pay attention without cgi robots or whatever

The main character dies. And you don't see the end result of the Human Genome Project or whatever the gently caress it was called.

Absolute favorite movie. Filled with references to The Waste Land. Cuaron said he wanted it to be the anti-blade runner, or something along those line. Feel kind of of obvious saying it, but it seems so prescient now. So glad it's still totally under the radar.

Zarin posted:I watched this movie once several years ago. I recall it hitting the end credits and I was like, "Welp. Probably should just go kill myself." I think if the baby and/or Kee died or the movie ended without the Tomorrow showing up, I'd would probably feel the same way. While it's plenty ambiguous, it's a lot more hopeful than people are letting on. I'm guessing it's like a Rorschach test, depending on your mood and point of view you can read the ending as hopeful or downbeat. Zarin posted:One thing that I keep going back to is the whole premise of the movie: what if it's all a lie? What if the whole world HASN'T gone to poo poo, but only Britain/that corner of Europe, and the government is making all that up? That's kind of hard to pull off considering that Julianne Moore's character is an American and she and Owen talk about her parents getting killed in the New York explosion that's featured in that "Only Britain Soldiers On" advert. You get the impression she went to the U.S. after their child died and came back when everything went to poo poo in America. Also, his brother Danny Huston seems to be in a high position in the the government that he'd know those things, especially since it sounds like he witnessed the recovery of David personally. The Protagonist posted:gotta shoutout to the police footage from different angles of the same chase from different points of view with very convincing overlays, just really solid production value If you haven't already, the Foreign Office, who did those overlay work, put out a reel of most of the advertisements. They also tell their own story, with the sterile England treating their pets as children by buying them fancy clothes, ads for plastic surgery to make people younger, organ markets, explicit commercials for sex drugs and prostitutes, anti-depressants and, of course, Quietus,etc. They tell a story of a society that is trying to ignore, bargain with and anesthetize itself from the prospect of coming extinction. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VnIrXmdYhY (maybe  for a bit)

The movie is probably my top 10 best films. One thing I didn't get was when Clive Owen's character goes to the super rich people land and the weird guy at the table with the cyborg implants who kept typing into his computer and not taking his vitamins? What was his deal.

Also, I don't think those were vitamins, I pretty sure they're some sort of euphoric or anti-depressant like what his father is taking.

Also, I realized that movie turns 10 years old this year. gently caress, I feel old.
