Also this trading of motifs was pretty funny.

Best movie since NCFOM

Watch Sicario and Wind River too if you haven't yet

really good, going to watch it again soon

Thank you for the recommendations.

sicario is only worth it in the first 20 minutes

i thought it was fucking awful. not being ironic or edgy. i just hated it

It as good as Wind River

This. The Frontier Trilogy are my 3 favorite movies from this decade.

How do all three movies tie together? They seem very different.

One of the best films of the decade. I really think Pine has grown as an actor.

It's just a worse version of 4 billboards.

I mean, it was a pretty good movie but come on lads.

People need to realize that the best parts of this film, like Sicario, were when the director, actors, and other people making the film deviated from Sheridan's script.

Case in point, one of the best moment in the film is the climax at the casino when Toby sees the news report and we see it reflected in the mirror on the wall behind him. He finishes his drink, pulls the casino chips close to his person, and pulls out Tanner's/his hat and covers his face with it. It's the perfect conclusion, and is miles better at visually capping off the story than what Sheridan wrote in his script, which reads like some screenwriting 1 tier crap written by a college freshman. It's something about how Toby goes up to a hotel room, lies on the bed as the news report plays in the background, and a single tear rolls off his face and into the mattress or some shit. Mackenzie, like Villeneuve, capitalized on the best parts about Taylor Sheridan's writing, which is his one-track focus on writing simple tropey shit and trimmed all the garbage fat while using the relative plainness of the writing as an opportunity to make the visuals rich and replete with details that say more than any number of lines by a hack writer like Sheridan ever could.

Lord of the Plains

The ending older brother part is fucking kino, I don't even care how realistic it is.

>Lords of Nuthingnao

Is that a place in Oklahoma or something?

kill yourself

It's a casino in Thackerville. By the Winstar. Only about 20 slots in a convenience store.

Whats your point?

Thats how films work, its a mixture of everyone's work and opinion. The writer, the director, the actors, the grips, etc. Every puts a bit of themselves in the film, and it makes it a better piece of work.

Larry David creates and "writes" Curb, but since everyone ad libs the dialogue is it any less of Daivd's? No.

Dont chase me chief

I agree. His performance really impressed me.

I thought it was good, not incredible.

So which was it, hell or high water?

I've seen far too many posts praising Sheridan as a writer and feel that the strongest parts of the films with which he's involved not only have nothing to do with him, but are impactful precisely because they're the parts that are most removed from his influence. There are also gross examples of very poorly thought-out pacing and writing choices littered across all his scripts that make it clear that most people praising him don't really look into the process that you talked about. Yes, film is a collaborative process and credit isn't always awarded fairly. In Sheridan's case, the mismatch between his fandom and the quality of his work is far too great. Strongly urge you to look at the first few pages of the screenplay for Sicario to see how fundamentally broken it was, and how much it would have neutered the rest of the film if it weren't completely cut out.

>incredible
My only thoughts are that you should watch more film, lil embryo.

this is such a boomer movie. my dad has watched it like 3 times. I went to visit him and he was raving about it. we watched it. I though it was just okay.

It introduced me to Townes Can Zandt and Colter Wall, it's music kino even though some of it's on the nose.

Same writer. He directed Wind River.

*Townes Van Zandt whoops.

Dayummm. This is accurate AF. I'd like to add, if Villeneuve is a knockoff of Nolan, then Sheridan writes Nolan film knockoffs directly in script form. There's a fine line between being minimalist and barren. Sheridan is the latter.

i thought it was incredible, not good.

your dad sounds cool, soyboy

You reek of soy

It was a very good movie and Ben Foster deserved the Best Supporting Actor last year
But I don't really remember too much other than his performance. Chris Pine is OK I guess.

it wouldve been good if they casted it better

the casting wasn't weak at all, faggot.

this whole movie reeked of fucking soy. the whole time it was just slapping you across the face with "we're so poor in so much debt ugh banks are bad" the brother were dumb and poorly written, chris pine sucked. "muh good intentions with muh checkered past"

brainlet soyboy

Damn dude how do you fail to understand a simple movie like this?

It was a good film but I didnt like the sex scene it was unnecessary and it reminded me that I'm a worthless impotent that is essentially gay by virtue of how bad I am with women
Though it was really cool that they referenced the phrase "a rattlesnakes dont bite themself" in Foster's last scene.
All the acting was top notch especially the whimpering from bridges when his [Spoiler]partner dies

oh i understood it. i understood it and it sucked. i can't believe people compared it to no country

Wind River was leagues ahead imo.

um no you didn't sweetie, not at all.

no it wasn't, pumpkin.
