The scenario was messed-up. It's like Murphy took some informations from the case and he just put them side by side to make 9 episodes without really organize them, to connect every detail together or something....and he put some false things to glamourize and sexualize the brothers, just for entertainment🤦♀️. He even made them gay for each other....wtf? As someone who knows the case well, the timeline and all the important elements were not really treated well: the psychology of the brothers, the family, the parents...and most of all the TRIAL!: testimonies, the war between the defense and the prosecutor.... Nothing really happens! There's just a murder, Lyle et Erik, investigation, some bling bling and 80's pop music to glamourize the thing, a trial and jail for Lyle and Erik. The end....again: wtf?
I dislike the gay theme because it lying to the public about the brothers. Both brothers were into girls before they committed the crime. I also hear Erik Menendez dislike how Ryan Murphy depicted his character. Like you said in your video neither Ryan or Netflix hasn't bother to talk with the family or any of the people who know the brothers.
I’m with you. The next season with Charlie Hannam looks like it will be much of the same.. queer undertones/attractive killer, and probably four episodes too long
@@thewanderingscreen Why is it they only showing those type of killers. I'm sure there are other cases that don't have queer killers. Watch any Unsolved Mystery and you will see dozen there.
Just finished this!! Loved the himbo oldest son and Dakota Fanning’s character-scene stealers for sure! And I also adored the intro! To me it suited a show that often felt like a dark comedy, and this hyper choreographed and synchronized group dance felt like it was pointing to the carefully perfected facade that Nicole Kidman’s character has created. As for the ending-I did not see the reveal coming. I was satisfied by it! But the scene at the zoo… I didn’t buy that at all. It felt like the scene was trying to redeem Kidman’s character in a way that rang false and felt unwarranted and uninteresting… what did you think about the ending??
I wasn’t a fan of the ending either. Firstly, why would you give someone a printed script when you can clearly see she’s working with an animal and their standing by a body of water. And second, since she didn’t marry into the family, was there going to be a royalty situation? I didn’t see the point of the scene and also thought they were trying to redeem nicole with a less nasty smile
I watched a double feature yesterday, which helped make me realize that even the first movie had quite a few plotholes, and since the sequel amplifies everything the 1st movie did, the parts which don‘t follow regular storytelling logic are also more apparent. It doesn‘t matter, though. The movie clearly doesn‘t give a sh*t, it‘s just a cartoony homage to horror movies.
East west east west!! Really enjoyed this one-great review! Love your insightful read of the cinematography and jarring cuts! On the whole I found this film really captivating, too. Not sure how convinced I was by the ending? But I enjoyed the film’s contradictions. The beauty and the horror. And how successfully it straddled the line between thriller and comedy-how I laughed through my discomfort and felt discomfort when I laughed.
Cool analysis, review, and breakdown (I just joined your channel fam). I saw Alien: Romulus last weekend, and "man oh man" was it intense, scary, and VERY beautiful (Cinematography). I'm looking forward to catching it again in theaters.
I was unexpectedly moved by this film! I saw it with my pregnant friend and that ending hit hard for us. That’s such a great point about all the questions. Where ARE her friends?? What was she doing before she opened the flower shop?? Why was she on that roof?? I mean, come on we know that swanky complex had security and keycards. I will say though, I loved that scene-it was funny, sexy, and acknowledged how corny it is that he’s a neurosurgeon and her name is Lily Blossom Bloom (🙄). It was almost as if the film was winking at us and apologizing for the tropes at the same time, and it totally worked for me! Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively had great chemistry-I never would have suspected the beef. And he had an incredible emotional range in this film. Too bad a sequel seems unlikely. Can you make a video reviewing the book? Pretty please with a cherry on top??
That would require me reading the novel again and.. now that the film version is out (and better) 🤷🏼 So glad to hear you liked the film too! I totally got swept in it and now I want to own a flower shop
Loved this movie. I've watched it more than once just to catch all the nuances as Nick's character, Hayes, tries to figure out how to make what he sees as a once-in-a-lifetime connection a reality and help Ann's character, Solene, overcome her reservations. And, the music is sooo upbeat and catchy, I'm using it for exercise.
The Soundtrack was ok, but the Score didn't impress me like Mark Macina's work on Twister. I noticed 4 to 5 different melodies on the original film, but I couldn't identify any for this new movie. Maybe I have to go buy the score to give it more in depth listen. Nevertheless, I enjoyed Twisters but like the original, I still had some dislikes. Mostly meteorology dislikes (even though there were some improvements).
I personally loved Twisters as much as I loved Twister but you made some good points. I agree heavily on the grief aspect and how it was handled in the movie though, I found myself aching for more insight to Kate’s experiences with grief. It was definitely lacking on that part, she as a character turned so inward in the wake of her grief, that it really left us viewers in the lurch about how she truly felt, aside from initially not wanting to storm chase anymore but even that was just briefly mentioned
Thanks for watching! It seemed like Kate’s character was supposed to have a mix of the Helen Hunt and Bill Paxtons characters but it didn’t seem like there was enough bandwidth to explore her grief. Too many characters detracted from the central story. I wish Javi was in Tyler’s crew!
