The Last Duel (Ridley Scott, October 15,2021) Movie • Page 5

hey, at least I’m not the one who liked this terrible film.

 

Why was it terrible

 

yes please

 

Drip drip

 

Yeah this was great; Ridley knows how to do a good historical epic like the back of his hand. Was pretty satisfying to see the end result of the duel. Affleck was perfect for his role. Damon never looked quite right for the role, but the acting throughout by everybody was good

 

I saw this about a month ago or so and yes I loved it.

 

Going to find some time this weekend to give it a go. I have some reservations about the rape scene because my wife does not do well at all through explicit rape sequences. However, she loves Ridley Scott's films like I do, so she's willing to watch it with me.

 

Ben Affleck on Why ‘The Last Duel’ Bombed and What He Thinks of Ridley Scott Blaming Millennials
"Ridley is at the stage in his career where, obviously, he's completely unencumbered by concerns about what people think," says Affleck who also shares his take on the "seismic shift" in the movie business that is dominating his conversations.

I didn't know about the structure of the movie going into this and I was really impressed. I loved catching the subtle differences or extra lines that made each POV so important. And I agree with everyone else, the actual duel was INTENSE. Loved how it was shot when it becomes hand to hand for the first minute, and you get a few seconds from Marguerite's perspective. I also didn't know the outcome so my eyes were glued to the screen.

 

I can’t image how bad a knife through the damn mouth hurts

 

You wanna know how I got these scarzzzzzz

 

hbo max 1/14

 

wish I saw this before I rented it today!

but yeah this was pretty good. I don’t have much to add. My only questions is what did Matt Damon have a mullet?

 

why was it terrible? At least say something if you’re going to shit on it.

 

I watched this again the other day, was great to go back and pick up up on all the subtle differences between the tellings

 

Great interview with Ridley Scott

We’re getting a Gladiator sequel, which focuses on his character’s son Lucius, while in North Africa

 

Do we really need a Gladiator sequel though?

 

For sure not, but I trust Ridley to make it good anyways

 

I already don't like it. That's not a development worth exploring in my mind.

 

I tried but i think i'm going to have to give it a 2nd shot.

You ever have the feeling watching a movie where you're like "I can't tell if this is boring or if i'm just tired"?

 

I've had that with a lot of things, not just movies. Music, games, TV. Being tired is never a great time to properly appreciate entertainment.

 

now on hbo max

 

Going in I thought this would be boring but I was completely enthralled beginning to end. Ridley does this shit better than pretty much anyone else.

Very excited to finally rewatch now that it's on HBO Max.

 

Really liked this. I think it’s among Scott’s better movies and one I hope gets more attention over time.

 

I was not expecting to be as into this as I was
