This powerful film tells the story of Teena Brandon, a woman who dresses like a man, cut her hair to look like a man, acts and convinced herself that she was a man. It's a story about courage, love and unfortunately prejudice.
Some scenes are painful to watch and it shows how people can be so stupid, cruel and violent just because they can't accept other's differences.
At the end I felt sad. Sad to know that this is a true story, to know that all actually happened.
Hilary Swank won an Academy Award for this film and it was totally deserving, she was amazing, totally believable!
I wish they would use orchestral music for the credits and not this Hip Hop crap. Those "songs", noise would be a better word, were terrible.
Fantastic episode. The two best episodes of the 4 so far have had no Amy Schumer and no Cara Delevigne. Imagine that.
So amazed by the UK result. 2nd place and 1st in Jury vote. Ukraine definitely got the sympathy vote. Word is the UK will be hosting next year anyway...
Great to take a trip into the past.. I'd forgotten how well they did in the one and only season in F1. Definitely worth watching.
8/10
Brawn - The Impossible Formula 1 Story is beautiful! A very well produced 2009 Drive to Survive full of heart and emotion! A must watch to anyone that likes F1 :heart:
This is a really thoughtful show. Sure it’s not fast paced with explosions but it’s character building…. It takes its time and begs the question…. What is underneath these characters? A great start….
Expected an atleast semi-realistic portrayal of a vulnerable child descending into madness due to unfortunate circumstances (like an actual school shooter). Instead i get an episode of Goosebumps where a mother gives birth to a literal demon child. Completely ridiculous and unbelievable.
I wish they included more technical explanation about the car with 3D visuals but I understand that it's for casual audience.
This is where phobies storyline with her parents acc looks like it’s gonna be good, but I’m pretty sure her dads only in one episode and her mums only in a few more. So yk it feels like a missed opportunity. Also that guy saying Ross is a bad person needs to chill, she looked weird bald.
Flat out, this is in my personal top 5 movies of all time. I'm sure you all know why. It isn't just the best superhero movie out there. It is just straight up a great film by any measurement. I remember seeing it the first time. I got to go see it early with my boss and fellow employee since I worked at a theater at the time. I was struck by the movie so well that I couldn't come up with conversation for like half of the drive back. I just had to sit there silently and deal with the ecstasy overdose I had.
Seriously, if you think this movie is bad, then I think you're bad at life.
This one isn't for everyone? The pace was very deliberate and this is probably why it was not a box-office hit. You really need to pay attention to what is going on or you will feel very unsatisfied later on (not unlike "Lost in Translation"). While the supporting cast is ridiculous it is still Murray that shines the brightest in his subdued role.

I've always loved Baumbach movie but this one was really good. Cast was perfect too
The ending when you figure out Alaksa was the one who died in the car accident changed my life.
I didn't know where to go. I felt trapped inside my own body, like a block of stone slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea.
Fantastic how a show can bring up such strong feelings, truly remarkable.
No Netflix, no that was so not right!
Fuck this has made me angry all over again
What a sick and hilarious at the same time. Love their environmental crap cars...
Talking about the role of cinema is such a monumental task that it's almost pointless—cinema means something different to everyone at different times and in different places. To me, one of the vital roles of cinema is to celebrate the mundane, the everyday, and to transform it into something vital. We want to see ourselves reflected on the screen; our better or worse selves, something to reject or something to aspire to. Paterson does this beautifully: it's an ode to the normal and the extraordinary that resides within it, to the idea that each of us should always strive to fulfil something greater and deeper.
Paterson is a former Marine who now drives a bus in the city of Paterson, New Jersey. His favourite poet is William Carlos Williams who was inspired by the streets Paterson drives every day and the falls he takes his lunch at. He is married to Laura and every evening he takes her dog Marvin for a walk and has a drink at his favourite bar. This is Paterson's life, such as it is, and we are witness to a week of it. Jim Jarmusch focuses on the minute details of Paterson's life: a conversation in a laundromat, the engine of a bus breaking down, the patter you have with a colleague in the minutes before you're due to officially start work. Throughout, Adam Driver imbues Paterson with a quiet warmth and complexity that finds its outlet in his own poetry; we see the events in Paterson's life reverberate in his writing and vice versa. It's a towering performance from Driver, delicate and restrained and always a marvel. The performances of those around him, particularly Golshifteh Farahani as Laura, complement him perfectly. The people he meets and the conversations he has feel very low-key and natural—we're never taken out of Paterson, or away from him. The film builds up to an event that changes things profoundly for him; something that seems so insignificant in the grand scheme of things but is a deeply personal loss. This is the closest thing the film has to a moment of great drama, and it's satisfying that it leads to what feels, genuinely, like a moment of personal growth. A little progress, something we all crave, and something that feels immensely relatable.
It helps that it's a very beautifully made film. Jarmusch and Frederick Elmes do a wonderful job of creating a sense of Paterson's regimented life and showing off his environment. The writing is excellent throughout, from the dialogue and the silences that fill the spaces in between to the poetry that springs from Paterson and those around him. I found the film to be a near-perfect thing—gentle, meandering, beautiful in a way that is both surprising and of great comfort.
Don Johnston: Well, the past is gone, I know that. The future isn't here yet, whatever it's going to be. So, all there is, is this. The present. That's it.
Batman: "Some things never change, Quinn". I loved this line and I like this arc for Harley.
One of the greatest closing scenes ever filmed.
I wanted to like this movie, but I found myself shouting at the screen so many times that, by the time the story wrapped up, I wasn't rooting for anyone. A dark take on the whole "bad seed" theme, Tilda Swinton plays the frustrated mother to a child with so many problems, it's hard to know where to start. And, while most of his aggression is aimed directly at her, I find it hard to believe that NO ONE else in his life (teachers, neighbors, grandparents, the other people in town, the police) noticed his disturbing behavior as a child. His father is clueless, always siding with the child even as he's defiant in front of the parents. "He's a boy...that's what boys do." Um, no. This kid clearly has psychological issues--anyone can see that.
But the filmmakers choose to ignore that and blame nearly everything on the mother. She tries and tries to connect with her son, and he's nothing but snide and manipulative, to the point where the movie drifts from being a twisted family tale into straight-up horror movie land. Whenever she notices him doing something wrong, he always looks up and her and smiles. ALWAYS, even when she's in the kitchen and he's outside and can't possibly know where she is or what she's thinking. It grows laughable near the end when she realizes what he's doing and looks up and he's staring at her and smiling in the creepiest way. You're reminded it's a movie and not real life, taking you out of the drama. It's all over the top guilt aimed squarely at the one person who's actually trying to fix the problem.
By the way, as a parent and member of the community, I find it hard to believe this kid's behavior would be tolerated. It starts at the beginning and just gets worse--but the mother doesn't seem to realize that her child is different. I can't believe she doesn't talk to other parents to get a sense of what kinds of behaviors are normal rebellion and which ones are clearly sociopathic. And after the "incident," I would have moved away. The only reason she would choose to stay in the same town is for the punishment, blaming herself for what happened. She's found her own personal hell, and she thinks what Kevin did was her fault--and she should pay the price. I found it unbelievable, though. All kids are special and different, but a kid like that needs professional help, not a new bow and arrow. Thanks Dad!
The filmmaker chose to skip around in time, showing events and then what led up to those events. It's an interesting choice but takes away most of the tension because the viewer knows what's coming. There is only one "surprise" moment in the film--but it is seriously creepy and comes out of left field to answer several questions. In the end, they don't "talk about Kevin," and that's the primary issue. Maybe if they had, things would have turned out differently. I liked that the filmmaker chose to show less violence than she could have, but I wonder why--the entire film sets up how evil this child is, but then, in the end, the filmmaker protects us from seeing the result of that evil. Again, it feels like an attempt to excuse or cover up his behavior. The film ends up just being a frustrating exercise in bad parenting, bad judgement, and blaming your kids for ruining the fun, tomato-themed life you had before they came along.
Thank you Hugh Laurie for speaking out the truth.
"Running people over is not a selling point." Never been so disappointed in you, Willa.
In a series that is full of win, this one completely knocks it out of the park. The fake ads are painfully funny and poignant.
That moment when Joey figured out what's going on between Chandler and Monica was so hilarious.. I couldn't stop laughing :D
Jaime has gone from my third most hated character to my third favorite
The first hour of the movie is pretty much the same as the first Spider Man (2002), the second hour isn't very different too. They just replace Mary Jane with Gwen and Norman with Dr Conner. Sure the relationships between charcaters were a LITTLE different, but that's it
I'm a big fan of the Spider Man trilogy, which I have seen time and time again, and so it was weird to see a different cast in this movie. Old cast was way better in my opinion.
Overal it's an entertaining movie, but the ones who have seen the other Spider Man movies will not enjoy this movie very much.
I really wish the season was longer. Really loved how it showed how teens use technology nowadays. Overall pretty great show.
Netflix is really killing it with these international shows. They are 2 for 2 for german shows IMO which is saying a lot seeing how 95% of german TV is absolute shite.
