    Oh, I really loved R&F and was thinking recently I'd like to see it again. One of my favorite movies that almost no one else seems to know about. And MANDY ... holy shite. Can't wait for that reaction cuz that's ... quite an experience. The only thing that's sad to me about all these reactions is that you're watching the films on a computer instead of a larger screen (at least, that's what it looks like). I feel like there's one reacter (reactor?) I've seen that looks like he watches on a bigger flat screen, but can't remember who. Also, if you've never seen 'No Country for Old Men', THAT's the film I would love to see you react to sometime (followed by almost every other Coen Brothers movie)! NCfOM knocked Dr. Strangelove out of my favorite film of all time award.

    Bruges is Ray's purgatory - a theme common in Irish literature. Not an idea they dance around: it's like their visit in the museum looking at "The Last Judgment". The idea of stark contrasts is all over this movie. You can be cackling over the moments of comic relief only to bawl uncontrollably at Chloë's playful "Just children".

    This movie is a masterclass, the themes of sin and judgement are woven all the way through, it's almost biblical. I think having grown up in the catholic church, theres just something about the way you look at things. The writer/director, Mcdonagh did such a good job at touching on that feeling of guilt, Bruges is basically purgatory, awaiting their judgement together in this foriegn medieval setting. They reference Nicholas Roegs Dont Look Now as well which has similar themes! Youre so right, it's hilarious and so well acted. The dialogue is just fantastic and to have actors like Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes perform the lines youve written must be a dream come true for any writer director. Really glad you watched this one, great review and insights as always!

    Easily the darkest movie I’ve seen. Surprised me with how far it was willing to go, but underneath all the jokes is a really great story. Colin Farrell was amazing in this, really solid his inner turmoil. Another movie in a similar vein if you haven’t seen it, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, is written and directed by the same person as this. It’s got a great character driven story and I think directing wise a bit more polished than In Bruges. Great reaction as always!

    The cinematography in this is subtle, but it makes it feel like you are there as a kind of invisible ghost wanting to see what is going on, but not be bumped into. When Ken is looking down, you get this great overhead shot first to see what he is looking at, then back at him to see what he is doing. When Ken is on the phone in the hotel room pacing about, the camera goes shakey-cam as if you are trying not to be stepped on dodging out of his way. When the woman swings a bottle at Ray, it looks like it going to hit the camera and it pulls back to dodge it even as Ray dodges back. It is like the camera is always in the way of the actors and another shot could have gotten the scene without it being in the way as much, but the most awkward setup is chosen every time. There was probably a whole lot of thought put into the cinematography to make it look like there was none, like the amount of makeup skill it takes to make a woman look like she is wearing none.

The highlight in my opinion was more so the script and performance. The cinematography was still good, but it wasn’t the same weight class in my opinion as the acting or screenplay!

    He couldn't even kill himself right. He was remorseful for killing a child, yet he was about to shoot himself at a playground where children would find him and probably be traumatized. Or, with how his luck tended to run, he'd probably shoot himself and yet still hit another kid or mother.

But it definitely needs another watch before a solid opinion is made.

    One thing I really appreciate about this movie is how much the filmmakers made Bruges itself a "character." All the scenery shots showing off the architecture to get a feel for the town, using all the landmarks for various scenes to weave them directly into the story, and of course, the constant complaining/praising of the the place by the different characters. It all helped really ground the film in a way where the audience really gets and understanding of the setting and how it affects everyone there.

    Another great movie. Hadn't seen it in years. It's an absolute classic. So well done. Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell. Two great Irish actors. Unfortunately Colin Farrell is at that awkward age now where he's too old to play Action roles, and too young to play the Older roles. But he's still a good actor. Funnily enough he used to drink at the same Bar as me when he was home in Dublin. Think his Brother lived nearby or something. Brean Gleeson has two sons that Act too. One of them, Domhnall Gleeson, has done very well. He's done the last 2 or 3 Star Wars movies, The Revenant, Unbroken, Brookln, American Made, and even a few Harry Potter movies like his Father. Plus loads more. Big roles in massive movies. But he doesn't court the Media much. He doesn't seem to play the Hollywood game. If you want to see another lesser known Brendan Gleeson movie then check out "I Went Down". It was pretty funny. Not as good as this though. Also "The General" which is a true story about the biggest Criminal in Ireland for years. He spent decades on top, even stealing Rembrandt Paintings among others. He used to deal with the IRA amd Loyalist groups during the height of the Northern Ireland troubles. He lived about 5 minutes from me growing up. Always wore a hood up and was followed by a Special Armed Police Force wherever he went. It wss weird as hell. But Gleeson looked just like him, and it's very dark at times. John Voight stars too. It might be your thing as it's purposely all filmed in Black & White. Might be of interest to you. Also have you done Danny Boyle's "Trainspotting" yet? It's probably one of thd nest movies of all time. I know the accents throw off a lot of Americans. But as a complete movie it's peonominal. Danny Boyle is an amazing Director. "28 Days Later" just proves that, as one of the best Zombie movies ever made. Anyway, enjoy

    Happy birthday mate! I really enjoyed your reaction, one of my favourite films! I especially enjoyed your comments about civil, respectful dialogue at the end of the video. I think we are in dire need of that in the world right now. I have been guilty of being too heated and uncivil when commenting on youtube vids myself, especially about films, as I'm very passionate about them but I found your words very inspirational and thought-provoking.

    Hey thank you! This is awesome to hear man. Especially on the internet others are quick to really emphasize their “passion” which is completely fine, but usually ends up no one coming out with anything as a win except for hatred rather than a respectful disagreement. Trying my best to instill this in the community hahaha so this really made my day thank you!

    Great movie. I remember seeing this in a small independent theater when it came out. We had no idea what it was. And then walked out totally stunned. It's the writing in this, that is sooo good. The dialogue, the story, the foreshadowing. I saw this when I was in college and taking a short-story writing class, and I became obsessed with the dialogue in this. Anyway, keep these movies coming.

    Can't fully say that given that McDonagh (scriptwriter & director) is British. I know both of his parents are Irish but still he is British therfore, although the 2 main actors are Irish, I'd personally say the film is British. I'm Irish btw.

    You were curious why they kept that long take of the phone call.....the scene opens up on a tv - which is a famous long take where a bomb is set In the Back of a moving car and the scene plays out, the audience not knowing when the bomb will go off. Same scenario, the conversation is leading towards the eventual bomb drop that he has to kill Ray's character because of what he did. You can actually here the literal bomb go off in the background on the tv as the metaphorical bomb is dropped when it is revealed that Ken has to kill ray :)

    @Dexter Morgan No but the Hitchcock quote is a perfect example of tension, and plays well into these scenes as well. The in Bruges scene has a bomb drop of information that almost comes out of knowhere, while the other is litteraly a bomb in the back of a car setup so the audience knows about it prior.

    Legit question: Do you think it was an intentional decision to hold back on "wow factor" movie making to just let story, dialogue, and performances shine? If not, would it have made this movie better to include some "wow" moments? I love In Bruges, and it's only just occurred to me (when you said it felt generic) that it almost kills you into a false sense of comfort and banality.

Personally, I thought the cinematography was brilliant, as were the characters and all of the performances were flawless... even the small roles.

    The writer/director visited Bruges and at first was in love with the architecture and now beautiful it all was. Then after a few days he realised how boring it is. The two main characters reflect these two perceptions. I've been to Bruges and went through the exact same process. Its unbelievably gorgeous and completely devoid of entertainment. Chocolate, chocolate, Tower, chocolate, architecture. Thats it 🤣
