Da 5 Bloods

Spoiler:

I watched 2 other films over the weekend and they were both awful so this one was a welcome change Ok where to start with this..

First off I really enjoyed the way it was filmed, a little bit different, I like how they included a lot of real life events and real life figures, a nice bit of a history lesson snuck in. Also, I was a little confused at the start during the flash back scenes because they used the same older actors to play themselves during the war Interesting way to do it but I liked that, it is just a memory after all.

I was a bit disappointed that Chadwick wasn't in it as much as I thought he would be. He looked quite thin in it as well, was that intentional for the part or was it because he was so sick?

Paul really annoyed me, I know he was going a bit mental and obviously we see later on why he could never get over Stormin' Norman dying but still he was an asshole, sorry. I felt so bad for David

Glad at least one of them survived and even though my favourite was Melvin, it was good that Otis got to go back and properly meet with his long lost daughter.

Most shocking scene - when Eddie stood on a land mine The way he was walking backwards, it had that feeling of he's going to die soon but I was expecting a gun shot or something

Anyway, yes loved it, great recommendation Ammi

But

Spoiler:

The part where David is going to the toilet and accidentally digs up a gold bar was a bit "as if"

[Ammi]

...they were da 5 bloods, though...as if that wouldn’t happen for them.....

Spoiler:

...actually they didn’t come out of it as they all hoped...if you find that gold bar so easily, it’s probably going to go a bit down from there is the motto, I believe...

bahaha that's true enough

[Ammi]

Spoiler:

....wow at the actress who played Otis’ daughter...she really was the image of him in female form.....

[Ammi]

..21 Bridges is showing on Prime atm, another great Chadwick movie...there is also this one on Prime, which I know nothing about...it’s billed as a comedy/suspense and looks interesting...

Youtube video

[ChristmasNeeve]

If we are picking a favourite between the two Chadwick films though, I still say Marshall is better

[ChristmasNeeve]

Oh that one looks good and Tyrion is in it too

[Ammi]

...oh you mean Peter Dinklage......it took me ages to get that, okay we’re set then ...it seems like a lighter one as well and it’s nice to have that contrast...I won’t watch it tonight because Meghan...but I’ll try to watch it tomorrow....

[ChristmasNeeve]

Yeah I probably won't watch it tonight either

[Ammi]

...so wow, this is quite a movie...

...I Care a Lot...

Spoiler:

...I hadn’t known anything about this movie, other than it looked interesting from the trailer....it was billed as a comedy suspense, I think...but I’m not sure that I would even say dark comedy because it was more pitch black in shade...there was just no morality at all in it with anyone...so it’s hard when there’s no one to root for ...they were all just awful, the main characters, that is...but it was gripping and smooth and slick and all of those things so I loved it as well but I also hated it with passion.....I mean, it was just terrifying to see the helplessness of those people who she put in care homes as their legal guardian and took everything they had...how easy they portrayed that to be possible to do ..?..and we cant help thinking of our own elderly loved ones, which is so heartbreaking and so frustrating to watch....anyway, great twists, great turns, great cast etc and I hated it right up until the end...then justice......it redeemed that absence of morality in the final moment, for one of them at least...I’m not sure what else to say ......I loved and hated it in equal measures, I was gripped and enraged...a good choice, though ....

Spoiler:

...mind you, how is it that there was no end justice for Peter Dinklish...pfffftttt...

[ChristmasNeeve]

I don't normally read the spoilers before I do my own review but I did this time Ammi because

Spoiler:

Like you I was kind of agitated after the movie ended I spent most of the 2nd half of the movie thinking "hang on a second, are they trying to make us root for that asshole who abuses the elderly? what the **** is going on here?" and then I was thinking that bitch is going to get away with it. I was glad she got shot in the end however the "abuse the elderly" empire was already built and someone else will just take over plus the poor guy that shot her will end up in jail for the rest of his life, the Judge never got told that he was wrong to believe Marla over patients families and the horrific scam was never uncovered, so yeah Marla got her "comeuppance" but what about all the elderly people still imprisoned?

I mean saying all that it was a good movie but it was a pretty unsatisfactory end, I felt robbed of proper justice!

...yeah, I’m loving it as well...the rewatches are something I wouldn’t have done probably but I’m glad to have revisited those movies and I Care a Lot is something that would have probably passed me by if I wasn’t searching for things we might find interesting...and although I hated it with a passion as well, I think it’s a great movie club choice...let me see what I can find...

[ChristmasNeeve]

Yeah it is, it's a bit different and has something to discuss

As we were getting towards the end I did suspect the twist of body swap, which made me go "oh no not that " lol, the concept of there being a doppelganger of every person was a bit strange ,and had me thinking How and why?, and does that mean others have swapped places . The end feels like the copies / doppelgangers want world domination. They never got rid of them all either. But Jordan Peel is a unique writer and he thinks outside the box for sure
