    This has got to be one of my favorite films of all time. One of the few films that ACTUALLY made me laugh alot. My favourite comedic scene was the one with Ken on the phone where he's lying to Harry about Ray beijg in the room but then Harry asks Ken to check the door just to be safe AND THE LOOK ON KEN'S FACE ALWAYS MADE ME LAUGH😂its just so good

    So, the painting in the museum earlier is by a guy called Hieronymus Bosch. And later, on the film set, they refer to it as “Boschian”. So when Ray walks onto the set, spiraling, it’s like he’s in that painting, hammering home his point of “what if that’s all purgatory is, the rest of eternity in fucking Bruges”. After all, it was the one painting he actually liked in the museum

    @@EmilyDickmesome it came from when Martin McDonagh went to Bruges, and at first he loved it because of as you say, but he got a bit bored after a while, because it’s so quiet, and not very lively. Ray’s very dynamic, he wants to get pissed at the pub, do some come with some prostitutes, etc. While Bruges is lovely, as Ken says “it’s not really his thing.” Contrast that with what he’d REALLY like: “the Bahamas maybe” - it’s a completely different environment and atmosphere

    The Bosch painting that they view is his "Last Judgment." Unlike most paintings on the theme, it only shows heaven and hell, with no purgatory. That may be why it appealed to Ray; part of him knew that he was going to be condemned to purgatory, at least for a while. I hitchhiked around Europe for a few weeks in '77, when I was 15. I spent my last week kicking back in a little hostel / tavern in Brugges called Snuffles. It was a lovely town.

    There's also the line when Ken is on the phone with Harry saying that "a fog rolled over the town and he said he didn't know if he was dreaming or awake". I like this so much. It's fun, but doesn't take itself too seriously, but still manages to tackle huge topics in an approachable way that still makes you think.

    Everything ties back in this movie. They even go to the trouble of showing you Ken counting out all of his coins early in the movie for when he later has to drop them off the tower. I love how open to interpretation the ending is - the people on the set were dressed similarly to people in the purgatory painting, and I think it’s safe to say that Bruges is at least a metaphorical purgatory. The audience stands in judgment, and you decide based on what you’ve seen of him whether he gets life/heaven or death/hell.

Maybe films by Michael Haneke (like The Game). It was like an odd yet deliberate mixture of pure horror, boredom and absurd theater. I have to commend it for that! But enjoyment or comedy? - No Sir, I did not experience those. Not at all. Just my two cents. Please keep enjoying. Cheers

I believe there are 3 types of movie watchers 1.Popcorn watchers (purely shallow enjoyment/escapism) 2. Viewer that gets the themes/messages of a movie but cannot articulate it or factor it into their calculation of whether they liked it or not, they just know they felt good after watching the movie. 3.

    Harry is a great character. He's that "gangster with principles" trope to an absolute fault. As much as I love his character, but wouldn't like him as a person, I'd still admire him for the strength of his principles even if the movie presents his unshakeable principles as incredibly problematic and not really doing as much good as simply trying to be a good person. Both the "You retract that bit about my c*** f****** kids" and the scene at the foot of the hotel stairs are both fantastic windows into his mindset and hilariously funny.

    Yep, I got lectured about that once... it's said like "Rayf" but the last name starts with F so it blurs, so it sounds like "Ray Fines".

    One of my favorite movies of all time and probably my favorite script of all time. I love the dialogue so much. For one it feels like everything that happens somehow ties back to something that was said an hour earlier. Incredibly tightly woven script. Also the ability to combine dark humour with really heavy stuff is incredible. One of my favorite scenes is the one where they are sitting on a bench talking about the lolipop man and whatnot. And within like a minute or two it seemlessly changes from a dramatic to humourous and then back to dramatic scene. Absolute god-tier dialogue, greatly helped by the actors. As far as the final scene, I subscribe to the Purgatory theory, he's basically stuck there and trying to repent for his sins. I think at the end is about to get judged and it's left unknown whether or not he did enough in Bruges to repent and goes to heaven or goes to hell. He talks about going to the mother and letting her judge him so I think it ties into that as well. It is a surprisingly deep movie. I liked Billboards a lot but In Bruges is imo even better.

    Well done on figuring out the purgatory theory of the movie on your first watch. It took me 2 watches to even notice that aspect of the film and after watching a few theory videos of it I'm certain that he is definitely in purgatory at the start of the movie. One of the theological theories of purgatory is actually infinite boredom. No torture or delight just boredom and waiting. Really fits with the tone of the movie.
