your comment cracked me up. I agree.. Ok so I liked the series. It was well made. I have 2 things that annoyed me though. The fact that they let in visitors when the boy was critical and that the staff was very lax in the boundaries... and second, when Robert the lame husband never picked up her call while their son was in critical condition but it gets worse..... He never called to tell her HE WOKE UP. I was pissed thinking she would take him back, as sorry as he was.. so glad she left him at the curb. OK rant over. (I was going to make my own post about this as to not hijack yours, but alas I am a bit high and the words just flew. )
Watch the Truman Capote one. I didnt think I would like it but it was so good. I never paid much mind to Capote but my lord that series had me hook line and sinker. The women that were in his circle were depicted perfectly. Come back here for your review of it if ever you watch.
Yes absolutely The whole handcuff situation was far more interesting as the true story than what they depicted. Off topic, but I wasnt happy he was killed in prison. A deep case study was needed on him. If its true that his brain was not granted to science, thats a major loss on understanding more of how he ticked.
I like your take on this film. Very articulate. Saw it for the first time tonight. The character of Elio was very convincing. He is very talented. Oliver (arnie) didnt strike me one way or another. The family dynamic was rare to say the least.
Thanks for the link... yes some facts were changed for example he gave that sandwich to another neighbor. I guess they lumped that in along with other things on his next door neighbor. But I think most facts were depicted correctly. In fact I thought he got stabbed, but I read it happened the way it was shown in the series.
I never saw your comment until now but thank you. I just finished it tonight and it was really good. some are saying some facts are twisted so I gotta do some research now. So far I finished dahmer, menendez brothers, Fued bette and Joan and Feud Truman capote. I think all from the same director.
I hate when they twist the truth. This was a real life situation. If its to be credible they need to stick to the actual facts.
I agree with u. Bundy seemed like a creep the second I saw his photo
I thought he got stabbed. Now I have to go research what really happened.
I totally agree
I totally agree. He was explosive, controlling and the biggest enabler of all. The movie had the makings of a real hit, but instead it was consumed with long scenes that went on forever and the ending was disappointing.
It couldve been so much better. Mental illness affects everyone in the family, but this film distracted from that very thing with all the commotion and yelling for 2 full hours.
There was an episode that made me rate it a bit lower. (no spoilers here).. The series kept my attention enough to finish it, and I did enjoy most of it,,,,but I do feel in time I will forget this series..It wont stand out as something I will never forget. Its worth the watch anyway.
ps. I can watch Natalie Portman do anything. She steals every scene.
Love your articulate response.
I cant find the Dahmer film by the same director,,if you can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
I agree...I loved Feud bette and joan, and also loved Feud about Truman. The menendez brothers was very well executed, and the characters were convincing.. I love me some Chloe and Javier so they had me there lol.
Agreed,,I did not feel any investment in the characters at all..They didnt develop during the film, hence it being a very tedious film. I usually love a gritty and offbeat film and this couldve been it...But it just wasnt.
Oh wow thats a bit extreme lol. Come on now.
I agree with you. I love Indie films and seeing that Chloe was in it was a draw for me (I just finished the new movie with her in the Menendez brothers and she was great as usual).. I thought this film was gritty and realistic but after a full hour of no plot, no storyline , no direction, I became bored. The last half hour was tedious but I forged ahead.
It couldve been a great film. There were some unique characters..Some felt real and not actual actors but I could be wrong. The killing of the cats kinda repelled me but I know none were hurt in the making of the film but still it was disturbing. I know that was the point.
I wouldve liked to have seen more of their home life,,their parents and how they made income to live in a town devastated by the tornado. Instead it was filled with random moments that went nowhere which is why it fell flat for me.
You have some very valid points and you wrote with precision and clarity which I always appreciate. In the opening scene introduced to us viewers, Dickie and Marge were laying on the beach..Her head in his lap, very relaxed, letting the day roll on...thats when Tom deliberately stumbled upon them. From that scene I thought Marge and Dickie were bonded by the same lifestyle, both in their creative arts.. But you are right..He was detached from her as the film progressed. She loved him more than he loved her which was clear. Speaking for myself, I did not like his demise. He was a captivating character from the start and leaving us with the remainder of the film prominently with Ripley was tedious at best. The beauty of the film made up for it though.
