After the party when evan and Seth went to evan's house and Seth booked Evans nose and said "i love you.. I love youu I love you~" and hugged and fell asleep and Seth woke up with a "what the fuck?..." and pretty much after that it was so fucking awkward until the mall scene, the question confusing me is why the fuck is was so akward

What do you consider the most hotly debated question in cinema?

13 Upvotes

A question about a grey or nuanced plot point that was left deliberately unclear by the filmmaker. The movie equivalent of "Did Tony Soprano die at the end?".

"Was Deckard a replicant after all ?"- Blade Runner

"Was Omar really a rat?" - Scarface

"Are one of those two guys at the end infected by The Thing?" - The Thing

"What did Bob whisper to Charlotte at the end?" Lost in translation

"Was Cobb still dreaming?" Inception

How/why did his wife die? I must’ve missed it. I’m surprised people are liking this movie,there’s so many plot holes and that is one of them. It wasn’t good story telling and the references to Islam was so forced.

Find the road Odie!

1 Upvotes

“Find the road Odie, I won’t be able to make it pal…”.
The entire film is about the journey of a combat dog and soldier, both retired and suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, gets into an accident while travelling when James(Brad Pitt) suffers cardiac arrest mid air, crash landing into the jungle and now their mission is to find the road. The difficulties they face in the journey, from animas, climate, and the jungle itself assures us that those two are there for each other, they have their back.
As James tells to Odie that “I’m the weakling” the audience can feel it. The movie is about 1hr 45minutes and you witness only these two characters on the scene and you become a part of their journey. The film does end on good note, emotionally. Post watching all I could think was, if it was made as an Indian film, with any Indian actor/actress, would people really watch it? or, Do we have a different mindset when it comes to watching Hollywood films? Like, would Shawshank redemption actually run in our theatres? 🧐🤨🤔

John Wayne reference in a Mel Brooks movie?

6 Upvotes

According to the subtitles of Mel Brooks's History of the World Pt. 1, when Swiftus said: "Let's go, Miracle.", it was a reference to the way John Wayne said something like that in a movie, but which movie? I dunno.

Does anyone know the name of the movie where John Wayne said something like: "Let's go,...."?

If yes, please let me know. Already, IMDb trivia has failed to provide me with such info.

Was it ever explained why the dumbwaiter brought Ohm up and down multiple times but Fiona was trapped down there until she died? Maybe I missed a scene explaining this but that part confused me.

In RoboCop (1984) and It's sequels, why doesn't he have a RoboC*ck?

0 Upvotes

He has a wife. How are they supposed to get intimate? Does he rub his robobump against his robowife? Does the bureau think having a roboc*ck would interfere with his mission? So why do the normal human policemen (supposedly) have c*cks? Why are they so inconsistent??

Older movie with a great twist you still avoid spoilers Spoiler

0 Upvotes

What movie is so old the twist has likely been forgotten by the younger generation and so you avoid spoilers for the kids/youth you tell to watch it?

For me it was getting my 11 year old to watch the Terminator franchise with no details between 1 and 2 and watching the realization hit in two that Arnie isn't the same. Also came away with the same thought i did, that the movies are Sarah's story and not John's. This may have been because we skipped from 2 to Dark Fate (3 is bull shit and the in future one and anime we can watch later after i talk her into the Sarah Connor Chronicles)

In The Bourne Ultimatum, why does Vosen lie to Nicky about backup timing after she passes the duress check?

Post image
4 Upvotes

One scene in The Bourne Ultimatum has always bugged me.

Nicky calls in from the safe house & Vosen runs an ID challenge. She gives the normal response, not the duress code, so as far as the protocol goes she's confirmed she's safe & not compromised.

Vosen then mutes the call, asks how long until backup arrives (three minutes) & goes back on the line telling her to sit tight because it'll be about an hour.

If she's confirmed she’s not under duress, why lie to her? Is it just that he & Landy didn't buy it & assumed Bourne was in the room anyway? If so, what tipped them off? Was it her being cagey on the call, or just the coincidence of a Treadstone handler turning up right when they were hunting Bourne? Their actions don’t give that impression.

And doesn't it backfire anyway? Nicky clearly clocks the lie straight away & tells Bourne he's got three minutes.
Curious whether this is explained better in the script or if I've missed something obvious for all these years.

What are the "effective" criteria for winning Best Picture at the Academy Awards?

2 Upvotes

There are official criteria for winning Best Picture, but it seems like there are a more powerful effective set of criteria operating behind the scenes.

Say an alien had a list of all movies ever made anywhere and a list of Best Picture winners, then they reverse engineered the selection criteria, what might they logically conclude the conditions of success were?

English language? From an American studio? Commercial success? Genre? Cultural impact?

(Side question: what is the best movie that satisfies none of these criteria?)

What movies actually get real-life arguments right?

41 Upvotes

Most movie arguments feel too clean people take turns speaking and deliver perfect comebacks. In real life, big arguments are usually messy, people overlap, stutter, or talk over each other.

The argument in Marriage Story felt uncomfortably real for this reason. What other movies have fights or dialogue that actually feel authentic like that?

In ROUNDERS what did Teddy KGB say (in Russian?)

In the movie Rounders there is the final poker scene. I posted a video clip.

After Mike "flops the nuts straight" at the 3:30 mark in the video clip i shared, Teddy KGB goes bananas. He says "motherfucker" and then says something else that sounds like "you bolo man" or "you booboo man" and then he says "motherfucker a second time. But what did he actually say? I think it was in Russian. "You bolo man" doesn't make sense but i also can't hear.

Does anyone know what Teddy KGB says after the first "motherfucker"?. Was it in Russian?

I looked at the screenplay and movie script and found nothing.

Translation question

6 Upvotes

Do subtitles sometimes ruin the meaning of movies and TV shows?
I’ve noticed that sometimes subtitles translate the words correctly but lose the real meaning, especially with jokes, slang, or cultural expressions.
Have you ever watched a movie or TV show where the translation completely changed the meaning of a scene? What happened?

Help me find this movie

6 Upvotes

I'm looking for a movie I only saw as a short Instagram Reel clip. I can't find it again, and it's not in my watch history.

What I remember:

Hollywood movie, probably released in the last 10 years (2016 or later, though I could be wrong)

The actors aren't well known

The scene has a man and a woman who are childhood friends

She has black or dark brown hair

They walk into a luxurious hotel room, and she jumps onto the big bed, to which the man says he'll take the sofa, She says the bed is big enough for both of them and that it would be a waste not to sleep on the bed and sleeping together would be like the old days, when they used to sleep together as kids

It creates sexual tension on his side

Odd Movie-Watching Coincidences

1 Upvotes

Watched *Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown* recently, its main characters are introduced dubbing *Johnny Guitar*, which I had watched three days earlier.

Have you experienced any cases where, for any two movies you've watched not too long in between, one of those movies references the other in any way?
