it wasn't just the entrance scene for fraser though. it's the free masons scene too. he just isn't good in it.
My crowd was quite on the older side that in the final scene between Leo and Gladstone, you could hear multiple couples repeating her last line to their SO because it was too soft for them to hear. I chuckled.
One of the local theaters hands out these amplifying devices for seniors during the matinee shows because there are just so many of them. I rarely see anyone under 60.
Oh so Jason Isbell just gets to be a good actor too huh? I loved this. Lily Gladstone is a force of nature, so quietly powerful, last performance I saw like that was Lily Gladstone in Certain Women, no wonder Marty picked her, remarkable casting. Oscar should be an absolute no brainer. The way she talks, man, hanging on every word.
What was rattling around my head for most of this movie was when Donald Trump said “I could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot someone and I wouldn’t lose any voters”.
There is an initial pull to wonder why they would trust white people in the first place, but this sort of exploitation has happened many times before. It is very similar to the way white managers and agents and producers stole the money from Black musicians in the Fifties and Sixties by giving themselves songwriting records or keeping the rights. Even when you "get ahead" the way you are told to under capitalism, it is still a rigged game.
I had a dream I went to see this with @CarpetElf in the middle of the day. We got to a scene where Ernest was drawing really kindergarten level pictures of cows and horses and I asked him what a Jason Isbell was and then the manager came in handing out flyers about seizures and then I woke up.
Isbell rules, only gotten into him this year thanks to this forum and wanting to explore more country.
The only new music I really listen to is stuff I have heard in movies or TV shows. The last album I listened to was probably when the White Stripes broke up.
