So how is it?

So how is it?

Pure kino, also BTFO all the smelly stupid athiests

Faith can still be kept in a place that actively tries to destroy it

I haven't watched it but I'm thinking several oscars

Is it releasing in China?

Christian self insert porn. If you're Christian you'll love it, if not there's not actually any substance there so give it a miss.

>stupid smelly atheists

Real Christian of you bro I'm sure that what Jesus would want.

HE MAKES THE BEST FILMS
HE MAKES THE BEST FILMS

well i greatly enjoyed hacksaw ridge, mainly for the war scenes, however the religious undertones didn't bug me.

Does this movie have anything going for it or is it literally CHRISTIANITY the movie?

The two protagonists have no character other than that they are christian. There is an expctation that you'll just find anything they do sympathetic without the film actually earning it by making them interesting or realistic since the intended audience is Christian. I found it very hard to enjoy, and I'm not opposed to religious movies at all when done well, this just wasn't.

Im old testament bro

t.retard
Anyone with a braincell and appreciation to kinography would love this film

It's exactly the sort of pseudo-deep trash that hits you over the head with how profound it's trying to be I'd expect someone who uses the word "kinography" to like so I can't say I'm surprised.

It was good, but it's much harder to digest than any of Scorsese's other 21st century films.

The best part of the film was definitely the Japanese cast.

Absolute horseshit, if anything it's anti-Christian

Have you even watched it?

It's so easy for people to brush off a movie by saying it's pretentious or whatever.
Guess that's what happens when Sup Forums has been saturated by capeshit and Star Wars trash for so long.

It explores the Christian condition, but the characters are such empty shells that if you aren't a Christian who can identify with the struggle that it loses all meaning. You can tell this was a passion project, Scorsese clearly cares a lot about the message he is trying to get across. It's just that in doing so he forgot that not everyone shares his biases so won't automatically find the situation sympathetic.

Yes, see for my problems with it. What it really proves is that Sup Forums has been saturated with capeshit for so long that something which even attempts to be slightly deeper, however much it fails like this does gets fawned over.

...

>implying that's you
Are you too poor to afford a ticket to watch it? Those screeners are never releasing

>get proven wrong
>ebin strawman

Classic.

Really good imo. And even when the japs were torturing the Christians they were never shown in a bad light or revealed as antagonists.

I was put of by that wierd face of that darth vader jew though. He's got huge ears

I thought it was passionless, it seemed like Scorcese was phoning it in, every scene felt like it had been filmed very basic and uninventive, the cinematography was dull, the dialogue was shot very blandly and the "disturbing" scenes that drew me in in the trailers kind of had no effect on me which I understand is personal but disappointing nontheless.

That said I can understand the stripped down style being the point, but to me it came across as lazy and uninteresting, like Scorcese just wasn't letting himself be creative.

I did enjoy it though, there was something quite interesting about it and I found the plot really enjoyable, even if the film was longer than what interest it could sustain.

Biggest issue with the film was Amdrew Garfields narration, I wanted to feel that silence when he prayed to God and heard nothing back but all I could hear was a rough Portugese accent talking endless exposition at me, the film would've been better if the vast majority was as the title suggested.

Embrace of the Serpent kind of opened my eyes to how effecrive black and white can be and I feel like this is a film that wouldve benefited from it, Kurosawa films always make japan look very pretty.

Acting was here and there, Neeson has always been a bit wooden for me but he played dour priest man well enough, Driver and a couple of the japanese dudes were probably the standouts, i liked the villagers.

Thanks for reading the blog folks

>the "disturbing" scenes that drew me in in the trailers kind of had no effect on me

They felt like cheap devices to try and get you to care about the non-characters to me.

Bizarrely amateurish at times. Some really fucked editing, ADR and all the CGI was really bad.
Despite that I liked it well enough. Would've liked a different lead though. Garfield has no presence and his accent was pretty rough, especially when he had to shout.Felt too long as well. A long epilogue is warranted when the film has made you feel strongly enough about a story/character, but I didn't feel that way so it just dragged.

Absolutely, the only ones that really succeeded in gaining a response was the crucifixions at the start and the beheading simply because of a little shock factor, and the drowning scene because Adam Driver was one of the few characters that could be invested in

It was ok, promised a lot more than it delivers on though.
