How did Andrew garfield not get an award for his performance? This is one of the bets movies released last year, period.
After watching this, I'm convined that Andrew is one of the great actors of our time. This guy has incredible range.
>Silence
>Hacksaw Ridge
>Never Let Me Go
>Spider-Man
>The Social Network
This guy is fucking incredible.
Also, Vince Vaughn. Goddamn.
It was a Mel Gibson movie. No awards if you work with a bad goy.
Both Garfield and Gibson are nominated for Oscars
Andrew's performance just made me dislike the character, he seemed more like a rebellious teenager than someone who's faith legitimately conflicted with his combat training.
You forgot 99 Homes
Is that you, Andrew? Fuck off faggot, you cant act
If you think his performance is better than Casey's in Manchester by the Sea you're a fucking retard
ANDREW GARFIELD HATES MONDAYS?
le I don't want to shoot people but will slap a grenade into enemies man
He looks too much like Beavis for my taste
He wasn't drafted/conscripted though. He signed up of his own accord. The entire logic of the character/figure is teenage rebellion by way of "showing them."
Also his accent was horrid and hugo weaving made him look like a retard chimp.
>Also, Vince Vaughn. Goddamn.
I know, beyond terrible. I'm pretty sure he's the worst Drill Sgt. in movie history
>Spider-Man
so you've never heard of Tugboat Maguire...
as a performer, he is phenomenal. however, i think he lacks that one thing that separates great from stellar: gravitas. daneil day lewis, pacino, deniro, nicholson, redford, washington, hoffman (both), all have or had it in spades. this guy doesn't, which is disappointing b/c he sure can act.
as for Hacksaw Ridge, i don't think there was much of an attempt to portray a conflicted character in that way. the only real conflict between faith and combat appeared, well, in combat when he chose to go back and help the wounded.
He was his strongest in Silence, honestly he gave a stunning performance in that.
Hacksaw ridge was a solid 7/10 but the actual battle scenes ruined it
Hacksaw Ridge is the best and most realistic war movie I've ever seen. It makes A Bridge Too Far and Tora Tora Tora look like saturday morning cartoons. Mel has done it again after The Passion of The Christ and Apocalypto and has proven himself to be one of the best directors right now. I hope his next movie is scifi so he can blow Gravity, Passengers, The Martian, and Interstellar out next.
fuck off andrew
I liked Vince in this. He was good in Into the Wild too.
i didn't think his accent was bad at all. had a coworker from Mississippi and he had the same accent. i think Garfield and Gibson were going for a general southern accent, which sounds exaggerated or cartoonish to people who aren't familiar with it.
Oh boy. Anybody ever tell you that you have bad taste?
If not consider yourself told
His accent was exaggerated/retarded sounding to everyone.
t. Mississippian
>It makes [FOUR DECADE OLD WAR MOVIES] look like saturday morning cartoons.
Man you'd need a fucking backhoe to even see that goddamn bar.
realistic? really? man, i'd say watch more movies, if you think this one had the most realistic portrayal of war. i dug the film, but to say realism was its aim is quite myopic.
oops, he's from Tennessee. you know how listening to JFK now how his voice is odd and sounds cartoonish? same with 40's southern accents.
>he had the same accent as a guy from mississippi has today
nigger he was from fucking lynchburg virginia. Even in 30s those people barely had accents.
Yes it was top 3 of 2016 for sure.
I however thought Hugo Weaving was the best and deserved a supporting nomination or something.
Why are you ashamed of your accent, it's like you want to be a northerner or something
my bad, Doss was buried in TN and not born there.
as for Virginia accents, there are regional ones - the Roanoke accent, the Richmond accent, and the mountain accent. so, yeah, Virginians to have accents, mate.
What you perceive as gravitas is actually just an actor's reputation. Unsurprisingly, you can only name old people who have gravitas.
By gravitas to you mean like screen presence? In that case I understand what you mean, Pacino in godfather and scarface or nicholson in The Shining bring all your focus on them when they're on the screen, garfield doesn't quite have that
He's so fucking good
...
>the Roanoke accent, the Richmond accent, and the mountain accent
And dude had none of those.
>character not from a certain region adopts a regional accent
>people from that region call the accent shitty
EVERY
SINGLE
TIME
okay, i'll name a young actor with gravitas: Adam Driver. his performances in Patterson, While We're Young, and Hungry Hearts.
as for rep, huh? i speak of performances, not reputation. rewatch young pacino in Godfather, young Deniro in Raging Bull, young Day Lewis in Last of the Mohicans, young Washington in Glory, etc.
ITS ALMOST AS IF TRYING TO LEARN ACCENTS FROM PEOPLE WHO'VE NEVER BEEN TO THE REGION NEVER FUCKING WORKS
The most impressive thing was the american accent both Garfield and Weaving made. I really liked it.
Garfield can be a fucking libtard jewish cuck banging Emma Frog everynight, but he's a good actor. Outside Spider-man movies.
that's why i wrote a post or two back that they went for a general southern accent of the times. capische?
Nah, it's just retardation and empty criticism. It's the same with food.
>You call this lobster? I'm from MAINE, buddy, you haven't HAD real lobster!
And then you go to Maine and it tastes the exact fucking same.
Nah it was pretty shit
Poor man's Thin Red Line, pathetic oscarbait-ode-to-Andrew-Garfield tier. Hamfisted, though not unbearable to watch.
Are you implying Spiderman has the same level of screen presence as the actors in the movies I just listed
>he didn't copied R. Lee Ermey like everyone therefore he sucks
Tasteless with a tin ear? You'll fit right in round here.
Weaving achieved a general southern accent of the times.
Garfield sounded like he was suffering from mental retardation.
How many times have you backpedaled on this particular issue alone? 3? 4? polerina SJWs are hilarious, truly idiocracy.
>t-they'll never let him make a movie again!
>okay well t-they'll never give him good reviews again!
>err, umm, okay they'll never nominate him for an award again!
What comes next?
>What comes next?
the plane crash before they throw him out of the plane
The movie is pretty bad
I'm actually a supertaster :^)
I'm also from Texas, so I see this shit a lot (people saying an accent is bad, when in reality it's fine) The only reason these people shit on the accents is because they already know the accent is put on. If asked to elaborate, or point out instances of words being pronounced incorrectly, they'll chicken out.
Which is why I called the criticism empty. Nobody substantiates their claims with anything other than "well hurr durr i'm from there so i'm automatically right," ignoring the fact that other people from that region may consider it pretty authentic.
This movie a numale litmus test
as i had a coworker with a similar accent, i must disagree. sure, he doesn't sound like a mensa candidate but retarded? only to people unfamiliar with that particular way of speaking.
okay, i'm done talking about accents. anything else about this film worth chatting about? was the two minute epilogue really necessary? while i was impressed the Doss story is a true one, i don't think showing the real life dude speaking at the end added much to the film.
This movie was pure. Like, I don't care if you push in niggers, but don't make them act like niggers. Everyone was calm, and peaceful and characters weren't sperged out and didn't deliver quips. This felt like a movie. A real movie.
Also, I really like garfield's character.
You>bait
The first 2/3's of the film are completely pointless and forgettable though.
>random fight where protagonist randomly picks up rock and hits brother
>random event with girl he likes
>cut to walking in a forest with girl
>cut to asking girl to marry him
>etc...
I mean the one defining thing about this guy is that he abhors guns, and yet the single defining thing that happens in his youth with his father and a gun we're shown in a flashback.
I don't mind love interests, but this one was so vapid and pointless that they should have left it out completely and focused on the protagonist and his religion.
10/10 action though. Would force myself through the first hour just for that scene again.
Somebody give me a 1080p version of this.
Are you joking? Mel Gibson is nominated for best director and Hacksaw Ridge is nominated for best film at the Oscars.
There's no way they'd allow him to win though.
Good movie.
My complaint is the scene after the first battle. The soldiers are talking amongst themselves and one drops the 'in war men bury their sons line'.
That felt so cliche and out of place. Didn't seem authentic to me, next to the rest of the movie.
yah, and the other guy tells him to cut that shit out
the point, you missed it
Does he really hate Mondays?
Have you guys seen Boy A?
This film was complete dog shit, from the cloying cheesy intro, to the vapid action scenes and Garfield's stupid insipid hillbilly retard character.
Dog shit, seriously it's just the fucking worst film made last year.
After seeing this I actually thought I watched a wrong movie. Like I downloaded some asylum shit with a simliar name or something. Why do you guys love this so much? Are you all hardcore christians?
...
When Doss was trying to give the other wounded medic plasma and he refused, and then gave the plasma to an obvious dead man and the plasma bottle was shot by a jap. Then later in the rear Doss asked the fate of the medic and the doctor said "HE DIED, NOT ENOUGH PLASMA" i fucking laughed so hard. I mean how fucking hard do you have to bash your stupid fucking audience on the head? It was a bad movie and a lot of the messages could have been told with more finesse instead of just hammering you in the fuckin cock with them
What part of Israel are you from
