>DUDE MISSING THE POINT LMAO

WHY FOR, CHIEF WILLOUGHBY?

You can really tell by the reaction this movie gets on Sup Forums that most posters here don't actually watch movies.

what point he miss?

samefag outa here

Well it was fucking garbage so I sure hope not

Mildred is the primary antagonist.

The tone felt so mishandled, In Bruges must have been a fluke.

>Y'know what I was thinking about today? I was thinking 'bout those street gangs they had down in Los Angeles, the Crips and the Bloods? I was thinking about that buncha new laws they came up with, in the 1980's I think it was, to combat those street-gangs, those Crips and those Bloods. And, if I remember rightly, the gist of what those new laws were saying was if you join one of these gangs, and you're running with 'em, and down the block one night, unbeknownst to you, one of your fellow Crips, or your fellow Bloods, shoot up a place, or stab a guy, well then, even though you didn't know nothing about it, even though you may've just been standing on a streetcorner minding your own business, what these new laws said was you are still culpable. You are still culpable, by the very act of joining those Crips, or those Bloods, in the first place. Which got me thinking, Father, that whole type of situation is kinda like your Church boys, ain't it? You've got your colors, you've got your clubhouse, you're, for want of a better word, a gang. And if you're upstairs smoking a pipe and reading a bible while one of your fellow gang members is downstairs fucking an altar boy then,Father, just like the Crips, and just like the Bloods,you're culpable. Cos you joined the gang, man. And I don't care if you never did shit or never saw shit or never heard shit. You joined the gang. You're culpable. And when a person is culpable to altar-boy-fucking, or anykinda-boy-fucking, I know you guys didn't really narrow it down, then they kinda forfeit the right to come into my house and say anything about me, or my life, or my daughter, or my billboards. So, why don't you just finish your tea there, Father, and get the fuck outta my kitchen.

No one fucking talks like this, it was so cringy.

She had a chared body, how did she know she was dying? Maybe she did it.

What's so interesting about this monologue is that her (Reagan-era) logic works against her throughout the film.

This. WOW WHAT AN IMPORTANT STORY.

This is assuming we are supposed to be on her side. Are we?

no

Can you elaborate? I always hear about the "Reagan era", but don't get the semantics

Well, if those gang members (clergymen) are indeed culpable then so is her friend who got arrested for being associated with herself. So is her son deserving of the hate he faced at school.
She gives this big speech about culpability while ignoring her role in making her friends and family culpable for her bloodlust.

And I mentioned Reagan era because if this movie is indeed pandering to blacks that's an ironic stance to take.

>psh, nothing personal Father

okay that makes a lot of sense. I did pick up on the hypocrisy of her actions and the flippant damage she did to her son's reputation as well, but didn't know how it fit into the Reagan agenda.

Well

>too busy bashing innocent blacks to deal with a rape
>racist and incompetent white men symbolising the police force
>new police chief states, "we're not all like that"

interesting

At first I didn't know what to make of her crusade not paying off. Now I understand she was fucked from the start.

thats literally the point doofus.

This is my fucking thread dipshit

>”My only weakness is fire”
>gets burned

Pottery

He deserves the Oscar

So stoked to see him play GWB, all I could think about desu

this. Every film he's done since Bruges has been a complete dud.

So who was the murderer?

it doesn't matter

frances mcdormond looks like an old shoe and Rockwell hasn't been good since Box of Moonlight.

Lots of "oscar movies" that claim to know what the rubes of the flyover states lives are like.

they literally never said, they never found him. then rockwell and mcdormond go out on a God Bless America style roadtrip to kill this random rapist that they thought did it but turned out only raped a different girl.

There saved you two excruciating hours.

Also the film manages to kill off the most interesting character, Woody's Sheriff halfway through the movie.

The fact that she was unsure about going through with it is telling, it's the first time she's showed anything less than the utmost confidence so my vote is that she didn't go through with it.

What kind of retard actually thinks like this?
Is she presented as a retard in the film, or are we suppose to think this is clever and she's right?

Read the thread, newfag

>Way I see it, you Muslim boys are culpable. Don't matter none if you was at your fancy mosque with your forehead on some rug, you still in that gang, you still joined up with that boy who ran over all those poor people in his truck. Don't give me none of that 'moderate' horseshit, you're all culpable. So how about yous get the fuck out of my country?

Powerful.

I'm not reading your shitty thread, doofus, just gimme the skinny.

*TORTURING

If I have one complaint it's this. Irish boy McDonagh tries to paint a picture of middle. America and it comes across as quite crass.

She's presented as an vengefully misguided anti-hero whose actions only prolong her pain and make the lives of her loved ones a living hell.

I agree user.

Rockwell is good in literally everything

he didnt have the look or mannerism of a missouri cop, must less a small town missouri deputy sheriff. Rockwell went to acting school in San Francisco and it shows in what he thinks his character would look, sound, and carry himself.

Rockwell was actually the worst part of the movie, not counting the children who weren't developed and only existed to push forward the plot.

DUDE CIVIL RIGHTS, MIDGETS AND SWEARING
*emotive music plays*

That's what she actually is, but that's not how the movie presents her at all.

I thought the same at first but on paper that's what adds up. And that being said it's hard for me to imagine McDonagh didn't know this.

Even Peter Dinklage's character specifically calls McDormand's out for her appalling attitude and behaviour throughout the film, and he's not even the first to do so.

you're not supposed to necessarily like Mildred. Most everyone in the movie is extremely dysfunctional and angry, and the movie is about them learning to grow past that

Holy fuck, is Sup Forums really this fucking dense when it comes to movies? The most obvious and blunt themes in the movie went over all of your heads. Or are you all just too easily upset by dissenting opinions to watch a movie with vaguely liberal leanings?

Well if you're not used to the guys style maybe. Objectivity is hard user.

>Objectivity is hard user.
true, but I felt like it was really obvious that not everything Mildred does is supposed to be seen as good and taken as a moral example. It felt pretty obvious that everyone in the movie is morally ambiguous and the movie is more about asking questions than providing answers

>the movie is about them learning to grow past that
by deciding to go murder a random guy?

It's an intentionally ambiguous ending, you never find out if they decide to go through with it. Did you even watch the movie?

this. I tried to watch it last night. got that point beat into it a bit much.
then
>cops hate niggers!!!! they lynch them!!!
>wow well she was totally raped by someone white lets go after this white guy because he totally seems like a rapist!
I mean europeans should just be banned from making movies about america.
honestly they just take all the jew bullshit and mtv/social media shit and just take that hook and dont look back. euro's have been trying to emulate america for the past half a century and now look whats happened.
I just wish this movie had been made by someone with an actual feel for the pulse of rural MO.
they really are stuck in the 1970s when it comes to views of america.

>Empty claims

Please enlighten us to what us plebs missed

>liberals bitch about the movie for being too lenient on racists
>Sup Forums bitches about the movie because its too hard on racists

>maybe we will get bored and stop the murder roadtrip halfway = I am have grown past being angry and dysfunctional

the fact that just because the main character does something doesn't mean the writer is saying thats the right thing to do

Stopping the road trip literally means they grew. It would literally mean they broke the chain of violence they've been perpetuating the whole movie. Do you not understand symbolism in writing works?

oh lmao, do people not understand that writers sometimes endorse/romanticise their characters, and more than often not?

The true human bean of 2018

The amount of trolling revolving around this movie makes me think either Sup Forums has no taste, is too stupid, or just plain contrarian

Good for them? The movie was clearly not endorsing her actions, anyone with a double digit IQ could figure that out

>the movie is about them learning to grow past that
>they grow past it in a hypothetical scenario that doesnt happen IN THE MOVIE

1980's? RICO laws have been around longer than that.

The movie is about how Mildred pretty much made the wrong decision at every turn. She told her daughter to get raped, before her daughter was actually raped. She feels guilty, she feels the entire thing is her fault but tries to deflect the guilt onto the dying police chief despite the fact that she knows it's a dead investigation with no possible leads. She's an irrational, angry fuck up and the movie knows that

I said "the movie is about them learning to grow past that", I didn't say they successfully do grow. Whether or not they grew is dependent upon how you interpret the ending

I suspect alot of Sup Forums hasn't actually seen it and has already decided they hate it because the movie has 1 racist cop character.

if that is what you meant you would have written "learning how to grow past"

ok, then I wrote my sentence slightly wrong.

Well, the audience is denied of a resolution, and McDormand by proxy (or maybe the other way round?), which suggests to me that the story was about broken characters trying to shed their old skin and move on from their past[selves] - Rockwell moving past the racist macho persona, and McDormand trying to pick up the pieces and pieces together a semi-normal life

I realised this when the movie climaxed with rockwell discovering the DNA wasn't a match and calling McDormand to break the news. That was the end of the film. That was the end of the characters' arcs, Rockwell was redeemed and I'd say a bond was formed, and McDormand finally admits that the case will probably never be solved, but that's okay, because she had her "day of hope".

The epilogue suggests to me that neither of them have really, truly changed, I thought that was great. The film was never about the case, as you pointed out.

>yfw the one take scene

Jesus christ, you are one autistic faggot

Whoa, somebody on Sup Forums actually understood the movie.

Ok then I would say your interpretation is pretty good, but the movie felt very tonally biased towards minnie rourke's point of view. It almost seems like some irish pug with 90s glasses on made the movie from a second hand perspective. Also it seems like a pretty retarded premise that growing past angry/being dysfunctional = letting rapists go free, seems like stoic cuckoldry to me.

More importantly it was pretty boring and a lot of it seemed contrived. Also minnie rourke was just plain unpleasant to watch.

yes

holy shit kek

I agree that it felt like a European take on the American south, it's probably the movies biggest flaw. That being said I love everything else about the movie.

I think the point of letting the rapist go is that all they can do either murder him, almost murder him, or let him go, since they have no way to prove anything he said in the bar. The point the movie was trying to make is that murdering him would only lead to more violent reactions, probably from his friends or family, and as difficult as it may be, letting him go might be the right thing to do in that situation.

Bravo McDonaugh!!

I really shouldn't be serious-posting on Sup Forums tbqhwy

>tonally biased towards McDormand's POV?

You mean that the film was an exercise in subjectivity? The soundtrack, cinematography/camera movement and so on all reflected and accentuated the characters' feelings? That's quite common. I think you're mistaking perceived bias for subject subjectivity. The director does not condone any of the characters' actions. The only time I thought he may as well be speaking was through Dinklage's little monologue when he calls a spade a spade

>The point the movie was trying to make is that murdering him would only lead to more violent reactions, probably from his friends or family, and as difficult as it may be, letting him go might be the right thing to do in that situation.
You mean their situations would mimic minnie rourkes? That would be uber-stoicist cuckoldry to let a rapist go because of some nonsense like that. I think the real point is that some irrational bleating woman gets too much credit from society.

>That dykey cunt is gonna win it over pic relate
Life’s not fair

>Del Reddito

Funny that Sup Forums thinks Three Billboards is an sjw film when in actuality it humanizes everyone including the racist cop. And yet I havent seen Sup Forums criticize Shape of Water which is literally "evul white man: the movie"

Overall theme of the movie be damned, that was easily the best female performance last year by far

She gets attacked by a dentist, cops etc. All the blacks are on her side for some reason which makes it look like a muh oppressed/victim narrative. Yeah it kind of subverts it halfway and by that point I had checked out, but still I don't think the converse, that the stupid cunt should have just done nothing was ever presented. At the end of it her being a cunt ended up with that random rapist found out by the reformed cop, so it presents the situation as a net positive.

the movie sucked

>humanize by having him admit he was wrong and get cucked by nigger chief
>not sjw

I think the blacks rallied around her because of the apparently poor treatment of the blacks in the town. I did struggle not to roll my eyes at points during the movie - I felt that EVERY white man was incompetent, impotent, abusive, emasculated, racist, drunk and dying - while the blacks were noble, wholesome people (co-worker, billboard man and the chief, "we're not all like them") so I agree in that regard, but I feel as though the director knew the character's misguided rage made her a cunt, and that some of the audience will pick that up and others will revel in it.

Yah its generally wrong to torture people just for being black. And he wasn't "cucked" for the police chief position. Someone who was actually competent was picked over him because he spent his entire career just fucking around piss drunk and not doing his job

Nah I'm pretty sure there going to primarily focus on Lady Bird, with some awards going to Shape of Water, and maybe even Get Out to a lesser extent. Safest bets for them.

I despise the company behind Hostiles for dropping the ball on that film so hard. It'd probably get ripped apart but SJWs for being racist towards Native Americans if it were getting more attention, but goddammit that film objectively has some of the year's best cinematography, visual storytelling, music, sound design, acting, direction, etc.

>Yah its generally wrong to torture people just for being black
you are arguing against your own position, nobody just randomly tortures people, that is like arguing for spontaneous combustion.

>nobody just randomly tortures people
What a magical world you must live in

What did they do? Fail to promote it?

>the world where causality exists is the magical one
lel the ironing, he was a racist caricature how is that not implying sjw undertones?
