Just look at the IMDB top 250 list. There are movies there that have no business in any "best movies" list ever. That said the Parasite was great but I am not sure why people look at this as non mainstream or arthouse film. The story is quite easy to follow, the messages it carries are not well hidden. This was just a foreign film with some dark humour and serious undertones but I dont see it as arthouse.
Absolutely was worth the nomination and winning it too. Perhaps not #20 movie of all time but like I said the IMDB top 250 is nowhere near a definite collection of great movies.
There is a saying "older but wiser" or in finnish "vanhempi, mutta viisaampi". So you are right it is a very Kaurismäki-esque joke.
The sushi scene was great and I loved the bit with poker.
Any sign of bandana or are they "playing it cool"?
So you are on here only to bash the director? Great job. Now let it go.
Scott was a genius.
Sadly no more.
"Spielberg and Lucas have pretty much admitted that they phoned this one in (partly because Lucas was busy with his messy divorce) and from watching the movie I believe it. "
I would absolutely like to see where they admitted something of the sort. I do not believe that for a second. The movie is a very well crafted and very much loved action adventure with great set pieces and scenes. If it was a standalone movie nobody would complain. The problem is it is totally different from the first one excluding Indy as a character and the adventurous tone and people should be happy. For once we dont get a sequel that is a rehash.
If crusade came straight after raiders it would have raised some questions about being too similar.
I love every film in the trilogy (fourth one can suck it for the most part) and I think Temple is something of a masterpiece in the saturday adventure sort of genre and a great look in to the then still imaginitive minds of Spielberg and Lucas and there is no reason for them to feel any shame for the movie.
Sorry for the ramble but tired of the hate for this gem.
Thank you!
Could you give me a rough straight translation?
Always found the way it was translated very beautiful.
