What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

[LogGrad98]

Something with depth? Was there even a point to Mrs. Ben Affleck being in the movie? She seemed to just have a doctor-patient relationship with MM one second in the hospital to being wholly vested in their "relationship" the next (think the kitchen scene)...that scene with Garner being sooooo upset felt contrived because of the lack of development in her character, and specifically in her relationship with MM.

You thought the movie was depthless. I didn't.

In respect to Mrs. Garner, I don't think she needed anymore depth and I wasn't looking for it. There are principal actors and there are supporting. She was wholly supporting. I had no issues with her character like you did. The characters I wanted to know more about I did.

I gotta go with QuinSnydersHair on this one, and not just because it is so well-coifed. I think overall the story was so broad that it was hard to get very deep into any of his connections to people other than his partner dude/chick. See I can't even remember his/her name. His story alone took up so much of the movie it was hard to show the depth of his connection to other people. It seemed like he was the force of nature and everyone else was just swept along, kind of thing.

Like I said, I didn't analyze it that deeply, and I don't intend to watch it again to do so. We can agree to disagree on this.

I just never felt connected to any of the characters...I cared about MM's character, but the others were not enough part of it all for me to really care about.

This sounds a little conflicting to me. You cared about MM's character but you never felt connected to his character? You didn't feel connected to either MM or JL's characters? Well, there's really nothing else to say. You had your reaction to the movie and I had mine.

I have yet to see WOWS but I've heard so much about it. Mostly black and white stuff. People either hated it or loved it.

Where did I say the movie lacked depth?

Trolling?

That was train of thought writing, so I mis-spoke somewhat and corrected myself. I didn't not relate to EVERY SINGLE character, I did connect to MM's because he did a superb job bringing the dude and his progression to life. But what I wrote at first was kind of my first reaction, it just didn't grip me overall so no, none of the characters really reached out to me, oh wait, except MMs character. Better?

Oh I also thought the ending was too sudden. Like he seems fine for the most part then boom he's dead.

I think he was responding to our exchange about relationships. None of the relationships had any depth to them really.

Trolling?

My use of the word depth was in reference to what I said I wanted as far as the character's relationships in the movie, not the movie as a whole. Try to keep up.

Duly noted in respect to your post's miscommunication.

Again, you had your reaction and I had mine.

No depth between MM and JL's characters? Ok. We are on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to the characters in this movie.

Exactly.






And mine is right and yours is wrong and we can still be friends. Isn't that great?

I just got roped into watching Don Jon. I really like JGL as an actor, and I figured I'd like this movie after seeing the reviews for it.

It was pretty good. My biggest problem with it was the development of the protagonist. It seemed he had all these problems, and then he just changed rather quickly. The writing was trying hard to be very good, but it didn't quite get there imo. I won't say anything else because I don't want to spoil it.

Looks like it's 81% on RT, seems like it could be right, but I'd have probably given it a little lower, like, 73-75

Anyhow, I have not seen Dallas Buyer's Club yet. I am excited to watch that. I have Wolf of Wall Street, but haven't watched it because I always end up watching a shorter movie. Also, a bit concerned that it would be a turn-off for my movie companions. As arousing as Scorsese can be for me, it has the opposite effect on many people.

I loved WOWS.

This is encouraging. I'll watch it tomorrow.

I like Leo and Scorsese, so, naturally, I was a bit surprised after seeing some of the reviews.
