My take on it, to stop it being a plot hole, is the war chief, now knows the face of the jaguar paw so would ask questions if he was missing as he did when a guy was cut loose over the cliff, but he had maybe not paid attention to the father so wouldnt know he is missing.
Special edition. My biggest gripe with films is they are paced too fast, and I feel films are made for people with short attention spans, whenever I have seen uncut versions of movies I notice is at least one important story telling scene that gets omitted for the theatre cut,
Sometimes I even watch movies not fully understanding the content, then I do after I see cut scenes.
The brain surgery, leaning mode stuff I felt was really important for starters and even the extra scenes showing the T1000 was not operating properly with it melding with the floor at the end.
Depends where you are.
There is some really rough and poor areas in the UK, that many have been shielded from.
My area was not rough as such, but the GCSE college I went to, two final years of school, was pretty chaotic.
The teachers chose to do a hands off approach, and the pupils were told this, first name terms, no supervision at breaks, and no discipline in classes.
The things that happened?
1 - Regular fights and damage caused in eating area.
2 - Frequently in classes loads of messing around, parties etc. teacher would usually ignore it.
3 - Smoking on site in open.
Science labs etc had no equipment as it had previously been stolen, damaged etc. Any rooms that had things of value like computers were locked when no class. The chaos also happened on the school buses, and 2 firms bailed out of it due to damage to their buses and coaches.
This was back in 1994/1995, I know its worse now given what I seen, a teacher moved in as a neighbour about 10 years ago, and we had kids throwing bricks through windows. There is also multiple reports of teachers getting bullied in their own classes, videos on tiktok and the like showing it, and harassed out of school, likewise bullying is typically worse now days, as because of social media it tends to get taken out of school. I hated the last couple of years at school, couldnt get out of there quick enough, and reading how bad it is now, its no surprise there is a shortage of teachers.
This isnt really a surprise though as physical punishment in schools is gone, this kind of thing was inevitable I think.
Also where I live school children are routinely driving stolen cars over a bridge on a park pathway, lighting fires in the park, having loud music on in the park all night, taking drugs, riding motor bikes through the park, and the local co op closed due to rampant shoplifting. The police have no power as minors are not allowed to be touched in modern Britain. Anti social behaviour is not considered important.
I think its just a plot hole.
I felt the scripting was a bit flawed e.g. spying on coders in their homes and then killing them, that to me is lazy writing, so based on that this situation where Lisa helps him finish the graphics for the clip he plays to the world, whilst also being loyal to NURV is just an over sight they hope the average viewer doesnt catch on to.
I also dont think any information was planted on the files, I think the script writers werent thinking in that kind of complexity, instead its just to show the viewers why the main character would trust her to help him, the writers had to provide something to explain that behaviour. Likewise his girlfriend, that information wasnt planted, instead it was just to add extra to the plot, so he now distrusts his girlfriend, its more drama to add to the movie, and to explain why she ended up helping him in the end is she simply ended up liking him.
No I am actually a researcher. The research ironically was originally to investigate why underweight people havent been putting on weight despite a high calorie diet.
However there is no reasoned debate to be had with you as you wont even accept something as simple as metabolism being different from individual to individual.
You seem to be nitpicking a bit.
But it is explained in the movie that the agents can bend the rules of the matrix but not completely break it.
So they can move their body to dodge bullets e.g. but can they use the same trick to run towards a person, (so really fast movement speed), perhaps not.
The people been near each other (or even starting in same room) is explained with how they got in there.
Logically someone has to put them in there, and logically from that they not going to be far from either the exit room or a maintenance entrance.
If I remember correctly they started in either the exit room or one close to it in the first movie.
Her acting was "good enough" and the way they did her makeup etc. she was absolutely beautiful.
I didnt know the tale, but given the predictability of hollywood, there was no way achilles was dieing before the end. He was the plot.
Was a chance of the fight been interrupted or achilles getting injured, but nothing worse then that for him.
Early in the movie he cared about being remembered in years to come, being someone special. But could see he was starting to have doubts and didnt respect the main king he was fighting for.
He had to be convinced to sail and join the invasion, but after the beach invasion he had the same doubts again after an argument with the main king and at that point decided to leave it behind him.
But then his brother wanting to fight for the greeks put on his armour and led his fighters in to battle, after the death, vengeance took over for a short time before his doubts came back. In the final scenes could see he had set on a new path, but it was too late and his end finally came.
At the start I wouldnt have called him a selfish sob, he still answered the call of his king, and even when considering backing out, he was convinced to take on the one on one to save lives of the army.
I know its based on a true story, but it didnt happen as the movie presented it.
Likely a sponsored inclusion. :)
The good acting by hanks carried the film.
The ending was weird, I initially thought the guy she broke up with got her by doing the visa, but then realised the boss of the airport offered it to her as a bribe and I assume then deliberately didnt sign it so wasnt usable.
I think the film was ok up until the last 1/4 or so of the movie where it seemed to fall apart.
On the entering illegally, the indian cleaner arguably is what motivated him, he got himself arrested, after calling him a coward which meant the honourable thing to do was enter the country. But it felt a bit off to me, ending seemed a bit odd.
I think you need help as you seem to have some kind of vendetta.
Actually science has shown that to not be the case, part of the reason obesity hasnt been tackled is the incorrect assumption its always caused by one's own behaviour.
Different people burn their fat off at different rates, meaning person A e.g. might do more exercise and have less calories than person B yet may still be more obese.
There is children e.g. in the same family e.g. who might have the same diet, have the same exercise with one much more obese than the other.
Has been some recent science breakthroughs on this, it will eventually trickle down to hospitals and general medical decision making.
Also I dont know of any government that considers obesity itself as a handicap or means of disability payments. There is obese people who are fairly mobile and leading a normal life, and others who are incapable like the guy in this film, but even so the guy in this film was clearly earning his own money.
You cant always choose a perfect location to live, also the obvious he may have been in better health when he moved in.
It was good enough to keep watching but not great.
Plus points.
A modern movie without crazy camera shaking.
Submarine scenes were fine.
The land gun fight stuff was horrible. Not a fan of this nonsense where outnumbered American solders always overpower much bigger crews in movies.
End scene with the counter strike was neat to watch with the delay as the missiles travel.
I think would have been better though if was a rogue American coup and its the Russians who come to the rescue instead, as it would have been something not done before.
By modern movie standards it was ok. But of course not a touch on pre 2000 comparisons.
Of course, the pattern in every movie or tv show I have watched is that the captain is a perfect human, always makes perfect decisions, is likeable, and a hero. Often its the second in command who is made to be an idiot or just less intelligent.
The way he acted just wasnt realistic. They tried to make it real at the end when he was with the medic, but that just made the earlier scenes even more unrealistic.
Film seem to have suffered from wanting to show a successful US navy mission.
Putting all plot holes aside and trying to answer the question, the obvious resolution was to let them land and just pay the ransom, no one dies.
It is explained in the move the reason the 30k wasnt enough to satisfy them was the greedy gang leader, he even threatened the lead pirate with his life if he gave up on the hostage. But its not really explained why the US navy had an obsession with not letting them hit land, on top of sending numerous warships, seal team etc.
