This is a great story. Not for the actions of those involved, but for one simple line: "You are never out of the fight!" That is the prevailing lesson and process in this movie. Press on. It is honestly a good life lesson to hold on to.
I do not like what they did the Silveg. First off, he is played by a Skarsgard and deserves to be treated as such. I get why they made it happen, I just think the degree of it is more than any of the others portray and so it just feels extra. Jane is fine, Darcy is fine, Thor and Loki are solid.
As I was writing this, I had a thought. They put a LOT of emphasis on this movie being based on their memories. I feel like that is intended to basically allow A24 to mess with the story a bit, or it is contradictory to the official story. So take that as a food for thought.
The premise of this story is cool. I mean the evolution of a sport is one of the best part of sports. Think old school basketball when it had Pistol Pete and no dunking. It was boring, and it is boring again. I am not a big sports fan, but I do know that the dunk contest have been weak
These are the types of documentaries that I do not like. It is just an expanded story of what happened with the son providing some commentary. No answers, not additional story, nothing that I couldn't read in the news really.
As you can tell from the synopsis, this movie is a complete farce. Not that it was supposed to be anything else, but this just pushes it over the top. The FBI pulling someone from the IRA to help them find an assassin just because he has seen him is just crazy.
I knew that it was this event that created the foil over the top of the pill bottle, but under the lid. Why do I know that? I have no idea I think my mom talked about it at some time when I was a kid. Probably when she was telling me to get a different pill package because it might be tampered with.
As a Marine, I am aware that since the birth of this nation, we have been fighting against individuals that believe in a faith that hates us just because we are not them. This book does a lot to explain why they feel that way and why it continues to this day, 250 years later.
This is the first movie that we get Ilsa Foust. This is such a great balance to Ethan. Better than any of the other women that we have had. The caveat to that is his wife, who was a counter point to him. Brought him peace. Ilsa is Ethan, a spy with dedication and a conscience.
I am not sure that Rachel’s character makes a ton of sense. She also shouldn’t have been so naive about the ramifications of what she was doing honestly. I think for someone so smart and not completely socially inept, she just constantly misses the mark throughout the movie.
The organization is very much a rag tag group. The issue is that there are so many conflicting stories from those that have left vs. those that are still in. The women who were born in this religious organization have been convinced what they see, what they have been part of, is normal.
This game story is only the beginning with player 456 really making strides. Showing people what being a human really means. Lee Jung-jae is outstanding in this. I believe bad writing and him learning english for the role is why he was weaker in The Acolyte, but I don't think it is his capability.
