[quote]Every civilian death in Gaza is tragic. But Israel is not targeting civilians.[/quote]
I stopped reading there. The fact that Israel is killing so many civilians is the main reason why it is getting so much criticism. We have been seeing the proof of it every day for the last couple of months. But somehow some people (like Rapaport and Messing) still seem to be capable to deny it which is just really beyond me.
edit: I thought this was the "non-political" board of moviechat.org btw.
Agreed. They could have cut that storyline and it would have been a much better film. There was so much interesting stuff that could have been told about the Manhattan project that they did not touch. Or so many other aspects of Oppenheimer's life. Very disappointing film in that sense.
And obviously they <b>still</b> shower it with Oscar's because in 2024 "hypes must be hyped".
<blockquote>Jeremy Irons said while making the series, "Is the audience going to be bored with this character? He bores the pants off of me."</blockquote>
He certainly plays him as a very boring character. Having not yet read the book I do wonder if that really does the character justice though.
I agree: it is too much a "Brian Cox advertisement". Either that or the series was made as an excuse to have him travel the world. The series is also structured very poorly and often seems like a collection of "did you know?" quotes strung together. I watched the first few episodes but was too bored to finish the whole series. There are lots of great documentaries about the subject matter out there but series doesn't belong in that category. Not recommended.
yes
He or she is not claiming that the books are any good.
True. And I liked his part in this movie, even though the scene with him trying to storm the plane of the senator was somewhat ridiculous.
Much of it I really liked. Loved the ghost story parts early on. But around two thirds in, when the senator comes into play, it very much drops off and turns into a more regular thriller with some horror elements tacked on. The later part of the movie was very disappointing. A 7.3 is actually an appropriate rating. But it could have been a lot higher.
I wouldn't mind him directing drama's if they were able to grab my attention. The time that his films were must see's is long gone.
Never heard of her before. And does this kind of story really pass for "controversy" in this day and age?
I am also not sure if it is wise to be this critical of the production of a movie that you are in. Especially when it is not doing so well commercially anyway.
