The Brutalist (Brady Corbet, 2024) • Page 3

Have a ticket to leave work early Friday and see this in imax

 

you got a ticket to leave work early?

 

Yeah it’s another AMC A-List perk

 

Not sure how I feel about the second half yet but the first half is god tier shit

 

Really really really liked this and if I see it again I may say I loved it

 

The Italy/marble scene in the 2nd half

man

 

I'll be seeing The Brutalist next Sunday!!

 

Thought this was really good with my only gripe being the first half noticeably better or maybe more interesting aside from the marble scenes.

 

I feel like this movie is way more mainstream accessible than I was expecting

 

It’s paced really well despite being so long and shot so beautifully

 

I don’t think this is a spoiler but the use of archival footage was great too

 

Started listening to that Big Picture podcast on the drive home and the “it’s an allegory for the making of the movie itself” unlocks it for me

 

Yeah my very simplified reading was that it’s about a director getting a movie financed and sneaking in more personal themes that the backers weren’t expecting. However, there’s more there than just being a movie about making movies

 

Oh yeah for sure

 

Cannot tell you how pleasurable the intermission made this for me. Put those in every film, I don’t care if it’s 90 minutes. A little break to go get a hot dog is so nice in the middle of a film rather than the beginning.

The movie was good too

 

Movie is very good. I might try and catch it again in theaters.

 

At intermission currently. So far this is a 10/10. This soundtrack is remarkable

 

Got out of it a while ago. 10/10, no notes. Seeing a lot folks not digging how dark the second half gets but I think it’s duality worked pretty nicely.

 

never heard of that source before today

 

Thought this was great. Still unpacking it but I enjoyed it a lot.

 

Listening to the soundtrack this morning and man, this is such a work of art

 

Also the bad press that came out yesterday for the AI use (though minuscule, it seems) is pretty wild. Brody’s performance is exceptional and folks online trying to disqualify him because of minor accent enhancements is a bit upsetting to see

 

Did not know the director of this used to be an actor and was one of the psychos in Funny Games, that’s so good lol

 

It's so confusing that the director looks like that.
