screaming, crying, throwing up. my boys... my BOYS!!!!
the conflict and its resolution in this movie and its prequel had me bawling.
the hard work and battles and friendship and wins and losses they all go through are so beautiful to see.
i'll never forget this show and all the joy it's brought me T___T
First half: so so gay 10/10
Second half: so so funny 10/10
Should be part of the official season honestly
After all the times Haru inspired Rin to fall back in love with swimming, Rin was finally able to return the favour. This episode was beautiful and touching and this show is just so good.
I cried so much this season. I think it was an unexpected place to end the show but they pulled it off gracefully, imo. The queen's unwavering determination to do the job she's been tasked with has been the through-line drawn across all the seasons and they doubled down on it in this ending in a very touching way. It's bittersweet, almost all bitter: you feel how truly alone she is and the absence of the person she could have been without this great burden. But she has support in her husband, who believes she is the only one fit for the job, as well as the nation's. And that has to be enough.
On a lighter note, they did Harry kind of dirty. I don't know if it was the casting, the script, the editing or all of the above, but aside from his only plot line being the Nazi costume, this last episode especially felt like Harry's villain origin story :laughing:. He was shooting death glares left, right and centre and looked like he was plotting to kill William at more than one point hahaha. Meanwhile this show has also been very gracious to Charles. Overall I'm sad to see it end, but it did have to at some point because it was starting to get uncomfortably close to the present day.
I am a mess rn... seriously the way love is portrayed in such a nuanced way with genuine character growth is so special to see. They did a great job on this.
this show wants what succession has.
the only scene i actually enjoyed was camille firing her assistants (despite that whole situation being extremely fucked up). otherwise i am struggling to care about any of these characters, esp when they blatantly don't care about one another. very weird.
how much more fucked up can ash's life get?? god this was heartbreaking
was there ever a villain more camp than adam, the matador of love??
it's kind of crazy how this show makes me laugh out loud while human resources just lacks something.. maybe the humans they help aren't well developed enough? but anyway, this episode was hysterical and judd punching nick made my day.
Beautifully filmed, slow but impactful. The acting was excellent - Brad Pitt can be so scary, and Casey Affleck is so good at being creepy and an unsettling presence. Also really loved the score by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.
This movie was funnier than I expected. The ending was funny too, but very tonally different. I thought it was a weird decision and didn't really fit with the rest of the movie. However, I enjoyed this movie a lot and found the lead performances to be excellent.
Things really just constantly escalate on this show :joy:
Umm is this the most wholesome show ever made?? I can't stop smiling.
"I love you so much. But I need my tools."
"Fuck your tools."
"Very well. Okay. :smiley:"
I watched this a few days after finishing the book and maybe that was a bad idea. But aside from the countless ways in which it deviated from it plot-wise (which is understandable since the book's timeline is not the most adaptable, I can imagine) I just could not get behind this film's casting.
The 3 main actors just lacked the chemistry and levity that give Pelagia, Dr Iannis and Corelli their unique dynamic. Penelope Cruz just played too seriously. Mandras was given WAY too much screen time and importance, but I guess they chose do this because they had Christian Bale on board. The significance of the character Carlo and his sacrifice is totally lost on the audience as we are given 0 time to get to know him or his backstory. The ending is whatever. I just feel like without all the elements and quirky characters that make the book magical, the movie just becomes a lacklustre piece of WWII content. I will say it was beautifully filmed and the locations looked incredible, it's just a pity. I would love to see another attempt that does the great book justice :')
I agree with all these comments, we just keep getting more mysterious hallucinations with no answers as to whether there is actual supernatural activity here or not. The end of S1 gave us no answers and the characters are generally unlikeable, and yet I'm still intrigued to keep watching. I enjoy adult Misty's scenes, as well as adult Shauna's.
But like, where is this all going???
holy shit this was one of the best rusicals ever. i feel like no one deserved to be eliminated this week.
loosey makes for truly entertaining tv - i've really warmed up to her lmao. and anetra is just a marvel
The credits scene with Ian and Mickey yaaaassss!
Also this episode is definitely giving me old Shameless quality and it's such a relief to finally see. This show is at its best when they get all the siblings in the same room and they call each other out on their shit. And each of the Gallaghers are getting more believable storylines that actually allow us to be invested in now.
I was thoroughly enthralled by this show. The story was well written and carried out through all the seasons, the action was GREAT (I loved the 300-type style) and the characters were multifaceted and believable. Every episode is packed with events and you're truly never bored. I wish more people knew about this show - it's extremely underwatched.
