This is one of Stanley Kubrick's best films. A true horror movie without having to rely on jump scares or gimmicks. The score is truly unsettling and with the cuts of disturbing imagery it builds tension well. Jack Nicholson gives the performance of his career here. The Overlook Hotel is so unique. The attention to detail and production design is flawless.
This movie is already good on its own, but it becomes 10x better when you know what Patel went through to get it made.
The movie has already cemented itself as a classic of the vengeance subgenre, with echoes of Woo and Park Chan-wook, while bursting with enough originality for it to avoid feeling like a carbon copy.
It's a primal yell of a directorial debut from Dev Patel, already an underrated actor, who uses his unique experiences with religion and his own Indian heritage to bring the story of the film to life.
You can smell the blood and sweat wafting through the screen
That shit went hard, damn.
I don't think I've seen anything like that since The Raid movies? While it's not all on THAT level, nothing really ever came close. And first time (full movie) director Dev Patel? Mad props yo.
A horny cartoon A.I.
Now I've seen it all.

I like that Rin and his brother are friends I thought they were gonna be enemies. Also like seeing rin make friends with a demon. Not as good of an episode but kinda cool
Now he's gonna be angry fr:skull::skull::skull:
I can’t stop thinking about how this show might be suffering from the weekly release schedule. I believe these 20 min episode shows don’t benefit from it. Seems hard to build momentum.
THAT LAST SCENE WITH EREN
RIP POTATO GIRL:sob::sob::sob:
Such a beautiful episode. Loved it
So, Himmel loved Frieren, huh!!
"It's Raining All Right". This broke me....
plot twist about his wife though!!!!!!
How did those looking after Jugo survive that long taking care of him without knowing he was a man-eater?
I'm glad that the writer made Himmel's story imperfect. He didn't depend his heroism from a sword, he's just is.
Anime-onlys, are you alright guys?) We been there it's confusing, but kinda awesome.
Just in case, if anybody actually confused with how exactly Grisha saw Zeke. Grisha simultaneously saw the scene in the basement through Eren's eyes and his own. That's why he saw only Zeke and not Eren. He couldn't see Eren in the person. He could see himself through Eren's eyes. That's why Eren was always behind Grisha, in the moments when Grisha did looked at Zeke. Like with Frieda in the mirror back in season 3 or ch. 53

And yes, incredibly enough in the 1st episode of season 1 or in ch.1 Grisha wasn't looking at young Eren when he talked about the basement. This small detail was already there all this years ago, back in 2009!!!

So, neither Zeke nor Eren were physically* there.
They couldn't change the past either. It's more like self-fulfilling prophecy. Like Terminator's plot (first one) if you will. They couldn't say or do anything that would have gave them a different outcome. Or else they wouldn't be there in the first place. Or alternatively they only were there, because this specific plotline happened and that specific plotline happened this way, because they were there at the time. Chicken or the egg - type of situation.
*Nobody freaking knows how the hell hug worked... I guess they both hugged air or old excuse of "paths working in the mysterious ways". Hell, maybe anime would give us a more concrete answer... in the future? :wink:
still hating both reiner and gabi up to this day
Ohhhhhhhh shitttttttttttt! Every episode is so good, this show is so amazing! I’m glad I didn’t watch it until now coz I don’t have to wait for the new episodes. Also I have like 3 minor spoilers with no context atm. If anyone spoils it for me now I will kill them.
Damn:fire::fire::fire::fire::fire::fire:
yep, Levi is still the coolest one
EREN JAEGER!!!! (We also got a glimpse of him in Episode 2 but of course it totally went over my head at the time)
Ever since they mentioned the plan to go back to Paradis island in the previous episodes, I kept thinking what will they find there? I mean, it is not like Eren and the rest are just idly waiting around… So it seems the tables have turned and this time our heroes’ infiltrated the warriors’ side.
(There was also a scene at the end of the 1st episode, where we see a shot of a guy holding a newspaper. It is more than obvious now that he is another member of the scouts as well.)
The storytelling is great, we get to relive the events from a different perspective and I can only imagine this will make things harder for the viewers when the clash happens given that now we have information from both sides and how they came to be.
Pretty good episode, it’s really interesting seeing all this after the time skip from Marley’s perspective, it’s just building up anticipation for when we gotta see eren, Levi, Armin and Migasa again, god I can’t wait to see them again. It was also kinda cool hearing Reiner talk about what is was like there and use patato girl as an example of why they are all evil :joy: I’m so exited to see everyone again even the 1 second flash back of eren got me gassed, can’t wait till next week!
The clear comparison to nazi Germany feels somewhat like plagiarism. It's quite distracting actually.
The way the little titans start running is freaking funny :joy:
Serves you right, Reiner. Sayonara. Bitch.
Hopefully...
