Truly refined performance. That accent is stellar.
Exactly. People refer to Siegfried as a hero but he doesn't do much that is actually heroic in the movie. And I think that's very deliberate on the part of the filmmakers.
You can read that into it if you want to but it seems forced. To me, it's more about loneliness.
However, I will say that scene feels improperly placed within the narrative and kind of comes from out of nowhere. Much like most of the film's final act, it's all over the freaking place.
Why am I hearing this post in the voice of Norm Macdonald?
I read it in two ways. One, after his daily routine is disturbed, the man realizes that there's something else out there for him, and is legitimately inspired to get out there in the world. Two, he realizes there's no more room for him in the house and instead of confronting the issue with the other two men, he decides to leave.
I think The Golem films from the 10s/20s could be the first "trilogy" of films ever. But I could be wrong.
Funny because, though I love all three films, Pather Panchali is my absolute favourite. That train scene... I just get chills every time I think about it. Pure cinema.
It's a plea for more dignity. For the old, for the poor, for the workers.
That's why the film is so beloved. By the way, it's not that different from what Tarantino has been doing in his last couple of movies, including "Inglorious Basterds" and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."
By the way, were the two films I mentioned even released at the time this original post was published??
Maybe, although it feels like a sin to call this film weak. It's great!
