The movie industry has been struggling in recent years and in sweeps the women, female directors, producers, actresses, breathing in new life, fun, exciting and entertaining new visions for film and I am here for it! More of this 🙌
Worthless writer/director redid Talented Mr. Ripley, with outlandish and even more derivative convolutions that altogether equal a stupid movie that strains credulity. Supposedly the guy can just kill people by talking to them. Where did he get the poison used in the maze and wouldn't that be one of the first things the cops would check for? Stupid. About 50 questions like that. She tried to make a mystery by tricking the viewer and omitting key scenes. Agatha Christie you ain't! Dumb writer just skating from one shock scene to the next to try to make a name for herself. Hey DEI hire: "Gross sex scenes are not a substitute for talent."
@@fareshajjar1208I don’t get the Talented Mr. Ripley comment. They have similar themes of obsession/jealousy, I get that. But really? A copy? I agree that there are some glaring plot holes though, for sure.
Not sure about everyone else but i am sick of sequels and reboots and rerun content. I have so much appreciation for new plots and ideas. Even more so when it is as genius as this.
I love how the last scene's dancing wasn't even particularly aesthetically pleasing or rehearsed-seeming. It was weird, clumsy at times, awkward and extremely frank, but still felt realistic. It was all parts triumphant and uncomfortable lol
What was so funny? I’m serious. It’s listed as a Comedy. This is not art. It’s sick & twisted. Not Hitchcock like at all. Hitchcock was a genius. Not a comedian. His movies were classic thrillers. Not this crap. With my opinion, I bet you win an Oscar. Just because.
@@jenniecaliseAre you British? I found this film to be a black comedy and there were references - especially on class, status, passive agressiveness that perhaps mostly British audiences or those that know British culture would get.
As someone with Autism, I found this movie difficult to understand even though I’m a “movie buff” I felt like I missed all the funny scenes & takes. So many people talk about how funny it was & the actors saying funny stuff… I wish I got it! Very well done movie though, I love Emerald!
Really interesting to hear that perspective. I think most of the comedy is about absurdity and ignorance of the upper class. So it’s not necessarily obvious humour
Saltburn made me think of a novel that I haven't seen or heard mentioned in connection with the movie. Did anybody else get a hint of The Great Gatsby, if Daisy was male and Gatsby was less, um, *friendly?*
@@mojonojo3 No, I haven't. That's why my thoughts jumped to Gatsby, which I've read (and taught) many times. But just to be clear, I'm not dismissing Waugh or any of Fennell's other sources; and I'm not saying Gatsby should have been on her list. I'm just adding my own offering to the pot.
There's somewhat of a spoiler in this comment: I think the scenes at Saltburn when the family is just sitting around, particularly when they discuss throwing a party for 200 people for Ollie's birthday, are so reminiscent of some of the scenes in Gatsby. The "What will we do with ourselves this afternoon" comment from Daisy is an example. Then, after Myrtle's death, when Tom and Daisy eat their dinner quietly at the table as if nothing (sort of) happened is taken 100 steps further when the family has lunch with the shades drawn near the end of the film! I too have taught the book many times and even heard it read cover to cover at a theatre in Princeton NJ once. 8-9 hours! Still trying to analyze this film. @@Karin_Allen
Yep! And all the talk about heat, and the lavish party, and so on and so on. And Carey Mulligan even played Daisy in Baz Luhrmann's production of TGG. I've been analyzing the heck out of Saltburn too. There's just so much to unpack.@@donnadelmoro7416
Oliver’s name might not be Oliver Quick. I spotted something in the background, behind Oliver when he’s on the stairs, talking to the girl Felix abandoned. The board has all the names and corresponding room numbers. F. Catten is there, F. Start is there, and there is only one “O” but it isn’t O. Quick. It’s O. Lam or Ian or something. It’s a bit hard to make out on my poor screen. There are also two blank spaces. Maybe Oliver’s name isn’t on the board, which is unlikely since he has been assigned a room along with everyone else, OR he uses a fake name and it just happens to be “quick” a name I see Oliver picking for himself, it would definitely match his character.
Yep, the end scene 🎬 I would have done the same. So many times I’ve played that in my head visiting versailles and other places in Scotland. She just got my fantasy to the tea 🍵👍👍 ❤ that song 🎧 is great once you get home and just want to peal everything off…. Try it…😂
The premise was exciting, the denoument was implausible and disappointing, frankly. could anyone kill that many people without anyone suspecting anything? what was so enchanting about oliver that determined elspeth to want him near her so much? did she kill her husband? because if oliver planned on everything that happened, then he planned/predicted that sir james would die, and by elspeth’s hand. also, what happened to duncan? whatdoes he think about oliver’s takeover? the house tour began with him, the film should have underlined his presence and his stance on things in the end also.
I don’t think elsbeth killed her husband, I think Oliver was j waiting him out to get his chance to get back in. I think elsbeth viewed Oliver as a charity case/ a reminder of Felix which was why she was fond of him, im pretty sure she’s never privy to the fact that Oliver lied about his upbringing. I think the chance of Oliver getting away w it in reality is slim but it’s plausible (pretty sure he drugged the alcohol, didn’t poison it). but the film def asks you to suspend plausibility a bit
It was the reactions of a calculated opportunist. Not a grand strategy, is how I saw it. His declaration that he hated them was retroactive self justification. He envied, loved, and obsessed over Felix, and then he turned on the others as they turned on him.
I don't think Elsbeth killed her husband, and she might have seen oliver as near to felix, or maybe she just was lonely. and I think there's this problem with knowing that oliver orchestrated things; we don't know how much he orchestrated. personally, I absolutely don't think that he had a plan from the beginning, or that his goals were more money-oriented than lust. Yes, he was manipulative, but I think it all stemed from this deep obsession with felix, even wanting to be him (hence replacing him in the end)
Yes i immediately thought that final scene will go covid viral, as I was watching it and Murder On The Dance Floor will hit top charts again lol. Also, now I can't help to wonder how freaky is this lovely, deranged lady in the bedroom, I mean I think we are all wondering after watching Saltburn lol
@@mbb05jb after the night out. Felix talks about Farleigh’s mom and Oliver says “sounds like an Evelyn Waugh novel”, to which he replies that Waugh was obsessed with their house and based a lot of his characters on their family lol
