Prisoners - Zodiac - Nightcrawler. I even enjoyed his Netflix movie The Guilty. Where he was basically the only cast member sat in front of a desk for 90 minutes but still pulled it off.

Nightcrawler is probably my favourite performance of all time what a great movie he plays the role of o sociopath so well.

I never write on reddit but I felt the Need to talk about this movie because It became my favorite movie of all time. First of all, the characters: the characters are great, between the three, the villian is who is the most lackluster, but even then, it's like and 8,5 out of ten simply because of the lack of plot relevance that I felt, since the movie Is centered around the other two characters, which are the best thing about this movie. Oh my God I have Watch some other movies with Clint Eastwood but in this one he really shined the most, even if he is not the most interesting character he is still my favorite. The Ugly Is the One that as I said Is the most interesting but also the most espressive character of the movie, I don't have much to say about him but he simply got me invested so much in the story that he had to be mentioned. Now, the story Is interesting, the movie Is also funny sometimes and the ending Is an actual master piece. The movie went on for 3 hours but I loved the characters so much that I think It should have been longer, especially focusing on the Bad. What I think is the biggest problem is the war stuff which was still good, but the lowest part of the movie. I thought that the music was also really good, It was perfect for the ending. Now, to get to the best thing about this and all of Sergio Leone's movies: how unpredictable they are. I thought from the start that the Good would have died, but he didn't. I also thought that the Ugly would have shared the Good's same fate, but he didn't either. The final scene was really great and I honestly couldn't even think of how Sergio Leone could have made It better. One final thing that I loved were the shots. They are so creative, and I also loved how there wasn't much blood, not that I care but he always found a way to hide It: the First scene, the pillow and many others. Overall this movie was great and watching It dubbed in my language really improved my experience, since the dubbers were absolutely phenomenal. I really can't wait to watch the others when I have time. Edit: I Say tons of negative things but this my favorite movie of all time. I Simply thought that people didn't want to see me ranting about how cool and perfect that movie is, even if it is.

The Mist (2007). I was neutral through most of it, but the ending hit so hard and unexpectedly that it completely redefined the movie for me. It went from a standard creature feature to one of the bleakest, most haunting endings I’ve ever seen.

What is that movie that you feel the end just changed how you had felt about it from the beginning?

I want to talk about "We Need To Talk About Kevin" (2011), made by the great Lynne Ramsay, whose filmmaking i fell in love with since i saw "You Were Never Really Here" (2018) with an astonishing performance by Joaquin Phoenix, and i can't wait to see "Die, My Love" and her other films.

I digressed a little bit, now going back to the film, my god, in a way it's a terrifying film.

It's really a film about the evil disposition that a person can be born with.

Kevin is a malevolent person since he was a baby, taunting her mother by crying only when he was with her, and instead was behaving as a good baby only in the presence of his father.

A deeply disturbed person with absolute lack of empathy, capable of extreme violence toward his family, manipulative and sadistic.

You can't even trace the origin of this evil, he comes from a wealthy family, who has been always loving toward him, no "physical conditions", nor problems related to actual intelligence.

His mother did the best he could with him, he can't even complain about absent or abusive parents, and his sister is the exact opposite of him, the incarnation of purity and innocence, and in fact he put acid on her eye, for pure cruelty and envy.

Unnecessarily cruel and manipulative murderer for no reason, a modern Antichrist.

I don't know what the message of the film is other than "Some people are just born evil, regardless of their context".

Thoughts??

So after watching “F1” last week I decided to go down a racing/car movie binge and I just finished F v F and have a quick question that probably just went over my head.

So to my understanding in the 3rd leg of the race Bandini had a lap on Miles and everyone else essentially as he was in first. So when Ken comes out of the pit he has to make up that lap nearly 2 since they left the pit at the same time and luckily Ken manages to do it and also get Ferrari to push itself to hard and have to leave the race leaving him in first.

This is where my confusion comes in, so if miles lapped everyone else to catch up to Bandini he was essentially a lap ahead of everyone which is why I thought he decided at the end to finish together with 2nd and 3rd place Fords but in my head I assumed yea if they finished together it looks cool but wouldn’t matter because Miles still had a lap on everyone including the other Fords so he’d quite obviously be the winner 🥇.

They also say it’s a technicality because 2nd place Ford started farther back and as someone who’s not a racing expert I didn’t understand that take nascar or F1 for example maybe I’m wrong but say the guy in first position Lewis Hamilton, Liam Lawson maybe 5th position and Kimi Antonelli in like 10th. To my understanding the way the movie describes it is because Kimi started farther back he’d get the win? Is that a thing ?
