what's with the long walking around stuff? waste of time


so whats up with the stupid long filming of Jakckie on the airport terminal treadmill walk thing along with her walking around in circles in that department store?

reply

It confused me while watching it as well.. Like we saw the same scene occur twice in the Dept store dressing room scene

reply

"we saw the same scene occur twice "

Someone wasn't paying attention! We actually saw it three times...

reply

Well good for you.. Now what??

reply

Now you put me on ignore, like you said you were going to!

It's a flawed film. A little too self indulgent and experimental. I'd love to see an edit that tightened it up a bit. All the core components of the film are wonderful. It just meanders a little much.

reply

I sometimes think people watch films while they are asleep.

There is one sequence of Jackie walking on the moving walkway, which is when the opening credits take place.

And the scene that occurs twice is told from two different angles and perspectives. You are seeing the scene from the perspective of two different characters, and there are subtle differences.

reply

No we are not "asleep" as we watch overrated crap like Tarantino's flicks.

the beginning of the movie where Jackie is on that moving treadmill thing at the runway, that took too damn long. and yes she was walking/running around confused in that department store for like 5 or 6 minutes. That took too damn long also.

You can't judge movies by star, or director.
Thought director might be a slightly better bet.
It's like trying to judge music by the band, or the singer.
Sometimes an artist's songs are great, but very rare
that all of them are.
Take life on a case by case basis in all things.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE FOCUS PROBLEMS.

The opening credits, that's what's up.

"along with her walking around in circles in that department store?"

You need to elaborate. When is she walking around in circles? Do you mean after she's paid for the dress and walks around looking for Michael Keaton and his police colleagues while pretending Bridget Fonda stole the money?

reply

yes you dipshit that is what I am talking about.

reply

do you kiss your mother on the succulent lips with that mouth??

reply

Well, I gave you the answer, moron. As mentioned in the movie, the cops were hiding near the food court in another part of the mall. That's why she was looking for them.

Next time don't smoke weed when you watch the movie.

reply

when was the last time you or saw someone ever actually waste like 5 or 6 minutes just running around in circles in a department store at a mall?

Dont get me started on the My Bloody Valentine remake where a naked gal ran around for a whole 5 or 7 minutes just to try to get a way from "harry warden"

Didn't happen in this movie either.

WHY SO RUDE?

People post more comments when they get in fights.

I agree, this movie should be made of 5 shots.
Jackie is arrested.
Ordell tries to strangle her.
She tells him the plan.
She runs away with the money.
She shoots Ordell.

15 minutes tops. Then back to tiktok.

That is what cinema is all about: story beats. And popcorn.
Who needs all the rest?

The scene and song selection opening was actually cherry picked from a movie called Sharky's Machine (81), one of the few films that Burt Reynolds directed.

Kyle Rittenhouse was found to be not-guilty.

reply

The opening sequence was apparently an homage to The Graduate opening. At least that's what I've heard and read QT say in interviews.
