Watched Carol (2015)

It ruled. I thought it wouldn't but it did. It's about lesbian love in in the early 1960s. Sweet movie that avoids being annoying without fail.

Based on the only book by Patricia Highsmith that is sentimental or about love. The rest were about gay fellas who murder.

I remember seeing the trailer back in the day and thinking "this is the most Jewish movie yet". I'll take your recommendation though.

Hopefully I didn't oversell it. I brace myself for being called a faggot.

I have a heart unlike some of the savages here.

I saw it was on Japanese Netflix a couple of days ago but it looks like it's gone. I've wanted to see it for a while now, Blanchett is good in everything.

The Ripley books are great. I know she was a lesbian but she was clearly a sociopath too. She writes one so well.

One of my favourite films, one of the few 10/10 for me.

Plus that Rooney chick is fawkin’ smokin’ hot in that movie too. Classic sex appeal (imo).

Saw it a while ago, too artsy for my taste. And i do like those artsy indie movies.

Just watched it. Lol, you faggots. It was well made and well acted but meh.

It's an engaging movie despite the lack high drama and it shows something beyond the lesbionics that makes it relatable. It's better than meh. Maybe you went in with the wrong expectations as a Ripley fan, hoping at least for some entertaining kind of cynicism.

I read two biographies about Highsmith. She enjoyed seducing married women and breaking up their marriages. She also watched her girlfriend take an overdose of pills and left her there. She ruled.

Are you a homosexual, Taylor?

That shitty movie was gayer... Charlie Sheen getting fag eyes from Willem Dafoe.

Seriously though, I thought Rooney Mara was excellent in it, she even outshone Blanchett - no mean feat. Didn't get bored watching it, but I have no desire to see it again and will probably forget about it in a week. It was one of those films like Revolutionary Road or the one with Julianne Moore and the black gardener and gay husband - behind the picture perfect 50s façade, trouble and repressed feelings are brewing, got it.

You thought Platoon was shit? OK.

It's not an objectively bad movie. But I didn't like it and it annoyed me. Kind of trite although the guy was in the war himself... I know this sounds arrogant and that I might be wrong.

The whole "duality of man" thing being represented by the Christ-like Elias (complete with crucifixion by Kalashnikov) and scarred semi-demon Barnes is a bit on the nose, but I can watch it again and again.
