this is very lazy... because i do appreciate that the movie makes you think, and i did quite a bit thinking,
but ultimately what matters more is how entertaining the movie is, not how hard it makes you think....
and i personally feel lupita's performance was the most noteworthy thing about the movie, she sold the plot, and made the extreme unbelievable..... not alll the little things that i'm sure yoe value more... because they made you think....
on surface level the plot and the twists are downright foolish.....
but the performances of the cast... that's what's makes it fun,
the smiles, the mannerisms....that's what makes it scary.....
this was more of a performance piece. she truly played both sides like two completely different people even though they were shadows of each other.....
more focus could be placed on that, and it would be warranted....
not what vhs cassettes were next to the tv in the opening credits.....
Ok, first off Group B, wasnt vague. You are the king of not buying the hype as evidenced by the Marvel threads you in every single day, so miss me with that part. That description is fitting b/c you just want to be entertained as evidenced by the bolded, which YOU JUST TYPED!!!
Ofc Lupita should be expected to rip shit, she is the star of the film!! It comes off as you, again, wanting to see what the hype is about, go into it with reasonably mild expectations, but when Lupita does a great job, its "i was entertained by that, more than you were entertained by the small intricate details", which, can you even find anywhere where I, AP, even suggested that? Like why can't I both be entertained by the film as a project and intrigued by a lot of the nuances, easter eggs, symbolisms, etc... at the same time?
It was more of a psychological thriller vs a horror movie in the sense of what we've come to know/expect from horror. Why in the world would i not expect to think about anything underneath the obvious parts in the film where its assumed you're going to have to in order to suspend disbelief in this world he's created for the characters to function in?
I mean yeah, everybody dropping theories about certain instances, but that was the entire point of the film? Like i dont understand how you come away with thinking anyone was overly impressed by this film when for the most part, the majority of everyone's expectations, at least in this thread, fell into where i described Group A.
