Personally I feel like this interpretation is distracting and a bit unnecessary. Doesn't feel like the type of movie where there would be a twist like that.

I need to rewatch before I peg down my feelings about the ending, but on first watch, it's a commentary on how "living your life in the present" (like Padraic) and "leaving a legacy" (like Colm attempts) can BOTH lead to destruction if you divorce one from the other. Like, both men are so unreasonable that they end up hating one another, when some very minor adjustments to their friendship could have literally saved lives (and fingers lmao).

What I mean is a mixture of different races made the film together. If it was an all-white cast, crew, everything, making jokes about black people that would be different. And vice versa.

People should relax when it comes to films. Music, novels, paintings, films, drawings, stories; they're all art. I'm going to make a film in an attempt to not upset anyone. Here's the blurb:

"Sarah is neither a man or a female. She is also neither black or white. Come to think of it, she doesn't really exist. She lives off the land, and by that I mean she drinks rain water and eats her own fingernails so she doesn't damage anything in the world that surrounds her. She falls in love with another invisible entity, Dikembe. Together, they explore the world, drinking rainwater and eating each others fingernails. They speak to every single person on the planet and learn their life stories. They also learn every language and observe every religion being practiced. As some people don't believe in monogamy, Sarah and Dikembe invite Tree and Wasp into their relationship. Tree isn't a real tree, but more of a metaphor, and Wasp is not an animal, but a drawing. I'm assuming you haven't bothered to read this far so I'm just going to end it here. As you can see I'm not the most serious person in the world, but I'm assuming that I've offended thousands of people already with this post"

Absolutely. Meanwhile, Robocop could be a story within the Terminator franchise. So could I Robot, I guess.

For me, the John Wick stories are a Neo reboot that come after Matrix 3. Then you get another reboot with Constantine because he ‘dies’ at the end of John Wick 3, and the machine world are still trying to sedate him, then Matrix 4 to another reboot, where he rediscovers that he’s Neo. Meanwhile, Total Recall (both versions) are just mind fuck side stories.

I also thought it would have made for a great 2-part movie, which was common at the time (Harry Potter and Twilight were both doing the same thing).

Hell, it would have worked better for Ender's Game because the book takes place over several years. Allowing the kids to grow up a little would work perfectly for the filming schedule.

And more movies with Robin Williams.

Fifty years from now there will be a really solid AI software, to which you write ,,Make a movie directed by Quentin Tarantino, with script from Aaron Sorkin, music by John Williams, happening in Wild West 1868, about four hours long, with cast of actors such as Clint Eastwood (30s), John Wayne (50s), Gregory Peck (40s), Katharine Hepburn (30s), Scarlett Johansson (30s), Humphrey Bogart (50s), Leonardo DiCaprio (40s), Harrison Ford (30s)... set in the whole America, with a short part happening in Mexico."

I see it.

I think it's because he lost a lot of weight (good on him) which can cause a bit of saggy skin which can make you look older.

im not sure though

as for the movie, I think the worst character was Mo. I don't know if you agree but I just couldn't stand her and she propagates the idea that white people and black people don't belong and it sounds so offf to me

Probably shouldn't be. Although Blonde is admittedly fiction it kind of takes a Darkest Timeline approach to her life and shows just how rough patches of it could have been. And that version of her certainly suffered terribly.

She's good as an example, though. If anything. For modern people to look at the scum involved in her life, who used and abused her, and to identify and recognize if anyone in their lives behave similarly, gaslight them or manipulate them. Maybe knowing how to spot that sort of thing ahead of time can save someone else.

The ip's creator is a huge piece of shit.

Here's his essay predicting Obama would attempt a coup using an "army" of unemployed black men:

None of his stories are worth retelling. edit: No one in Hollywood is dumb enough to fund a remake.
