I forgot to log this I watched this a long time ago…it’s so confusing I don’t get it 😭

“I’m going home to my mother, I really need a cuddle”

I cry every time, as if I don’t already know they won the war. But like, they won the war guys, they fought on the beaches and they never surrendered it’s so beautiful 😭😭

Hmm this reminds me of something…nah must be nothing

While I respect the writing, filming, and acting, I found it grossly irreverent and disappointing. While I’m not catholic myself, I don’t belive it’s ever prudent to attack people for their beliefs. In Catholicism, Conclave is a sacred ceremony filled with prayer, meditation and spiritual guidance NOT political campaigning, uncovering scandals, splintering factions, and rumors. While it’s definitely possible that the people who made the movie had no ill will, I don’t think that justifies the ignorance and misrepresentation that inevitably leads to an awful representation.

“I do not want to belong on the battlefield, that is why I want to play the piano” I’m dying

I genuinely still laughed at every joke and this is my 7th time seeing this

Would it really be a movie about Princess Diana if there wasn’t a montage of her best fits

This review may contain spoilers.

WHY DID SHE EAT THE GRAPES!!! Never forgiving her for that, those fairies proably had a wife and kids they deserved better 👎☹️

Feathers McGraw was so cold in this, like they didn’t need to go that hard

I have…a lot to say…but that’d get boring so we’ll just rate the performances 

Mr.Darcy: 10/10
I loved the performance, I don’t think it’s very accurate to the novel, but that doesn’t bother me! 
I think he was genuinely adorable and he CARRIED nearly every romantic scene. His obsession with Elizabeth shows much more than it’s told, and in such subtle and natural ways that make it nearly impossible to not grin and kick your feet. 

Elizabeth Bennet: 3/10 
Gosh. Nothing like the book. Which like I mentioned is fine with me, but she’s just so irritating you can’t help but miss that wit and charm you find in the novel. She makes the chemistry fall terribly flat, as it feels her and Darcy have nearly nothing in common. She fails to have the reserved nature Elizabeth does and instead comes off as a bratty gossip who is overly egotistical. What were supposed to be witty remarks, turn into her being a smart ass sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong. She therefore comes off as unintelligent, snobbish, a loudmouth, and nothing like Mr.Darcy. Put simply, she’s annoying. 

Mr.Bingley: 6/10
I mean he was fine, but in my opinion, his friendship with Darcy didn’t feel very authentic. To be fair, he also had less screen time than I expected him to have so it was hard to flesh him out. 

Jane: 8/10
Maybe it’s because it’s a short movie, but she didn’t seem to have the golden retriever personality she does in the Novel. So she was just fine, nothing to really write home about.

Wickham: 6/10 
Very charming, but I think he’s almost too charming, in the second half when he’s revealed to be a jerk he still feels like a normal guy, he doesn’t do a great job of making you hate him. He also doesn’t feel very shady in the first half, so there isn’t much foreshadowing or suspicion.

Mrs.Bennet: 10/10
Hilarious! 

Mr.Bennet: 10/10 
Not perfectly accurate to the book because he seems to sometimes love his kids and not be fully indifferent, the movie is a very flattering and redeeming portrayal, which honestly is kind of preferred to him being a jerk. That’s alright though!

Charlotte: 7/10
I mean, no notes, nothing crazy good or bad. 

Mr.Collins: 10/10
Oh gosh he was so funny, so awkward, so weird and so lame. I love this little weirdo. 

Final note, what on earth was the directing, those random zoom ins made it feel like the office. 

He’s the hero bumblyberg needs not the one it deserves

Such an amazing movie, but oh my gosh it is so stressful, it’s hard to really enjoy it sometimes (which isn’t at all a flaw, I mean in a way I’d say it’s a compliment). It kind of reminds me of how bombing hills on a skateboard feels, if you can get past how terrifying it is, it’s really fun, but I can’t really get past how scared I am of falling, so it’s fun but also not fun.

I’ll it I’m pretty biased because this is a childhood favorite

I think my girlfriend enjoyed this movie a little too much…never gonna eat anything she cooks if it has mushrooms

Every time I see this movie I feel like a sponge submerged in water. There’s so much of it I can take in and it’s so enriching and incredible, but ironically, I’m still surrounded by water.

I love when he goes “MAAAAAAHHHHHHITTTTOOO”

Perfect example that a high budget doesn’t mean anything if you don’t know what you’re doing. The original clearly had a lower budget but man they did waaaay better.

The captain looks so much like Viggo Morrison and it bothered me the whole film…

Anyway, great movie! The characters felt so real, it was so well shot it felt so claustrophobic, but most of all it felt so immersive I really felt like I was there and that I knew them personally.

He literally just answered phone calls and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time

Hilarious and I never, in a million years, would have ever guessed the twists.

I definitely didn’t cry again…

Huh, not what I expected, but it was very Paul Thomas Anderson

PEAK!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY PEAK!!!!!! (I cried)

Wait what?

“I don’t think they want to hear what I wanna play” 
“Who’s they?” 
“They people who decide what folk music is” 
“Well f**k them, I wanna hear it.” 

On a side note, I fear I’m gonna need that green polka dot shirt.

Peak, what more is there to say 🤷‍♂️

What a hidden gem

I’m not really one to point out historical inaccuracies, because frankly it doesn’t matter. I’m no historian, and I’m hardly even a consistent student of Roman history it’s really just personal study for hobby. I however, was disappointed by this film. I personally am amazed by the Roman Empire and I deeply enjoy the study of it, and while the story isn’t entirely accurate I don’t really take any issue with that, what I take issue with is how this movie chooses to Rome. I’m quite compelled by Rome and her historians who paint Rome in a captivating way, and to me Gladiator falls short. 

“The study of history is the best medicine for a sick mind; for in history…you can find for yourself and your country both examples and warnings: fine things to take as models, base things, rotten through and through, to avoid.” 
-Livy (Roman historian) 

     The ancients looked to Rome trying to extract the vices and virtues and see what we can apply in our own lives to make us better men and women. The American founding was built upon study of ancient empires, especially Rome. Please note, by no means do I think was Rome perfect, in many ways it was one of the cruelest places in history, but it is nonetheless naive to say it was perfect, just as it is naive to say it was evil. 

     It is therefore, important to the cruelties and vices of Rome, especially the gladiator fights, but I don’t believe this is how we should them. At the end of the day we watch Gladiator for the fights. We want to see what we judge the Roman spectators for watching.

     Violence has a clear role in films depending on its choice of use. In films such as 1917, All Quiet On The Western Front, even Blade Runner, the violence isn’t glamorized or enjoyable and it’s a crystal clear distinction. While the film does critique and discuss how the fights are, in nature evil, they are still meant to be enjoyed and for us to relish the experience.

     I respect the story as well, but for me, tales of vengeance are seldom captivating. The acting was superb, the sets were brilliant, and overall the movie does everything it wants to do and it’s nothing short of amazing. I completely understand why someone would enjoy this film and if you do, all power to you I’m glad you enjoyed it and I have no moral objections to it. What I have moral objections to, is glorifying the gladiator fights and the vices of Rome, which I’m sure you don’t.
      I doubt you personally believe the actual historical fights were good fun, and I know you’d never watch them if you weren’t absolutely positive they were pure fiction. So there’s no fault on your part in my eyes. I however find faults with the making of the film who ironically chooses to glorify everything wrong about Rome while simultaneously saying it’s wrong. Maybe I’m taking this too seriously, or maybe I’m missing the point, but I resent this historical interpretation of something I personally find so much more nuanced.

Wait why was that actually a banger?
