IN BRUGES (2008) MOVIE REACTION!! FIRST TIME WATCHING! 

"YOU"RE AN INANIMATE FUCKING OBJECT!" - kills me lol

This has got to be one of my favorite films of all time. One of the few films that ACTUALLY made me laugh alot. My favourite comedic scene was the one with Ken on the phone where he's lying to Harry about Ray beijg in the room but then Harry asks Ken to check the door just to be safe AND THE LOOK ON KEN'S FACE ALWAYS MADE ME LAUGH😂its just so good

Ralph Fiennes' acting when he sees Ken lying on the ground is amazing. You can tell that he cared for him and didn't want it to end this way, just by looking at his face.

So, the painting in the museum earlier is by a guy called Hieronymus Bosch. And later, on the film set, they refer to it as “Boschian”. So when Ray walks onto the set, spiraling, it’s like he’s in that painting, hammering home his point of “what if that’s all purgatory is, the rest of eternity in fucking Bruges”. After all, it was the one painting he actually liked in the museum

Arguably the best Dark comedy flick in existence.... For me atleast Thanks Brandon for reacting to this

This script is so tight, so layered, and so human. The dark comedy and action undercuts some pretty deep human material. The entire cast is remarkable. And Gleeson's death scene is completely heartbreaking.

Everything ties back in this movie. They even go to the trouble of showing you Ken counting out all of his coins early in the movie for when he later has to drop them off the tower. I love how open to interpretation the ending is - the people on the set were dressed similarly to people in the purgatory painting, and I think it’s safe to say that Bruges is at least a metaphorical purgatory. The audience stands in judgment, and you decide based on what you’ve seen of him whether he gets life/heaven or death/hell.

"You're an inanimate f*cking object!!" might be one of my favorite line in any movie ever.

The 'like Tottenham' line is about football, Tottenham Hotspur or Spurs are never really going to win the league but not really bad enough to be relegated.

Colin Farrells acting is a lot better when he's not distracted by putting on an accent.

I’ve liked Ralph Fiennes since Schindler’s List and Strange Days. This movie, In Bruges, was such a surprise to me, came out of nowhere and loved it.

This movie really does have some of the best dialogue out there. Love it.

You gotta appreciate his journey from suicidal to «I really hoped I wouldn’t die».

I have never stopped showing people Voldemort calling his wife an inanimate object

The DVD has a cut of all the times they swore or said the word "Bruges" and it's pure gold.

"You don't know karate" Little did he know, Colin Farrell did, in fact, know karate.

colin farrells greatest performance ever...also this is a 100% irish masterpiece both actors and director at their finest

McDonagh's follow-up film, Seven Psychopaths is another fun dark movie. It's the lightest of the three, with the most humor I'd say; and a great cast as well. He also has his next film in development.

I remember back when they released this movie Colin Farrell said that he kept apologizing to everybody whenever he wasn't filming for the way Ray talks about Bruges during the movie since he felt really bad about it because he himself loved shooting there and said everybody was great and treated them wonderfully and the city was beautiful.

For another Colin Ferrel black comedy, I would suggest The Lobster directed by Yorgos Lathomos. It’s hilariously odd with a delightfully unique tone. It’s also an ingenious allegory on how empty and hollow modern relationships can be.

glad you are finally getting to this, I was blown away by this movie, because never before or since have I seen a movie that made me cry and also burst out laughing quite like this

This film is so amazing. What makes it most amazing is that the film was never overly hyped up when it was released. Most people watch it with zero expectations and zero knowledge of what it is going to be about. They expect it to be 'meh' and it ends up being insanely great.

Another movie you HAVE to watch from the same director is Seven Psychopaths! The movie is super original, surprisingly emotional, and is one of the most unpredictable but tightly written movies I've ever seen. Also contains one of THE BEST Christopher Walken performances ever.

Yasss! This is definitely one of the best screenplays I've read and the acting is so on point! I love this movie ❤️❤️

Editing for this one must have been a "F***ing" nightmare.

- Little prick didn't even say hello. - Well, he's on a lot of ketamine

Ralph Fiennes character Harry is absolutely brilliant, the dialogue is hilarious. Such a great film.

One of my favourite films of all time. The dialogue is perfection.

One of my favorite movies of all time, and I saw it for the first time by accident. (Weekend pairing at the on-campus theatre with Dark Knight, I went on the wrong day). Ray realizing that he doesn't want to die after all, he wants to live, after everything he's lost and gained, is such a powerful ending.

This whole movie is just a Harry Potter cast reunion Also, I've just discovered Martin McDonagh is dating Phoebe Waller Bridge. What a cool couple.

Seven Psychopaths next on the Martin McDonagh list please!! Genius movie and 100% rewatchability!

It's a worth-mentioning funny little fact that basically every main actor in "in Bruges" also played a part in either the "Harry Potter"-movies or the "Fantastic Beasts"-movies... Colin Farrell - Ray - Percival Graves / Brendan Gleeson - Ken - Mad Eye Moody / Clémense Poésy - Chloe - Fleur Delacour / Ralph Fiennes - Harry - Lord Voldemort

Ralph Fiennes is pronounced like “Rayf.”

YYYYYYYYES!!!!!! One of my favorites. Colin Farrell so great in this one, deserved the golden globe but was robbed of Oscar nomination in my opinion.

I've never seen anyone talk about the soundtrack in this movie heavily slept on pieces scattered through to really sell you the feelings in each scene, very smart use

There's another Brendan Gleeson movie you should watch, called The Guard. Also a very dark comedy.

The actor who is in the restaurant during Colin Farrell’s date was in a McDonagh play I saw on Broadway in 2005 that was AMAZING! Called The Pillowman, starring Billy Crudup, Jeff Goldblum and Michael Stuhlbarg. Love that he got a cameo in this too (he was also in Seven Psychopaths and Three Billboards!).

In Bruges is absolutely brilliant so cleverly writin & freakin hilarious

Google Hieronymus Bosch, the painter that painted all the brutal purgatory paintings. That is basically the concept. He is in purgatory unless he paid for his sins. I assume he died going to heaven, but honestly I'm not sure.

7:18 Tottenham is in reference to Tottenham Hotspur football club who never win anything but never get relegated, they are always just off the good teams.

Apparently, Ralph Fiennes’s name is pronounced “Rafe”

Yessss I've been waiting for this one, this is one of my top 20 favorite movies of all time.

To this day, “YOU’RE AN INANIMATE FUCKING OBJECT!” is one of my favorite nonsequiturs to pull out in the middle of a shouting argument with a friend.

Ralph Fiennes' performace in this is one of my favorites of his career

Brendan Gleeson is one of my favourite actors. He stars in a pair of fantastic movies by Martin McDonagh's brother, John Michael McDonagh - The Guard (2011) and Calvary (2014). Both fantastic, unusual, dark films.

If you enjoyed this one you def. should watch "The guard" with Gleeson. It's the same kind of awkward dark humor and it's probably my favourite movie ever.

Purgatory's kind of like the in-betweeny one. You weren't really shit, but you weren't all that great either. Like Tottenham

Brilliant thing is when Harry is offered “the bullets that make the head explode” He says “I know I shouldn’t but i will.” And it’s those bullets that indirectly lead to his death.

I love this movie. The symbolism of death and limbo is fantastic.

Top ten favorite movies ever I must have recommended this a year ago

It blows my tiny irish mind that you weren't like "holy shit it's Brendan Gleeson" haha great reaction though!

One of my favorite movies of all time and probably my favorite script of all time. I love the dialogue so much. For one it feels like everything that happens somehow ties back to something that was said an hour earlier. Incredibly tightly woven script. Also the ability to combine dark humour with really heavy stuff is incredible. One of my favorite scenes is the one where they are sitting on a bench talking about the lolipop man and whatnot. And within like a minute or two it seemlessly changes from a dramatic to humourous and then back to dramatic scene. Absolute god-tier dialogue, greatly helped by the actors. As far as the final scene, I subscribe to the Purgatory theory, he's basically stuck there and trying to repent for his sins. I think at the end is about to get judged and it's left unknown whether or not he did enough in Bruges to repent and goes to heaven or goes to hell. He talks about going to the mother and letting her judge him so I think it ties into that as well. It is a surprisingly deep movie. I liked Billboards a lot but In Bruges is imo even better.

Oh man... the film clips haven't even started yet and I already KNOW this is gonna be a good pairing.

"And I really, really hoped I wouldn't die"

"Shit like Tottenham" is a reference to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club who play great football but never win anything.

great review man, that irish humor goes over a lot of people heads. no matter how fucked up or miserable a situation an irish man will always make a joke to cut the tension even if hes bleeding out. i enjoyed watching this review as much as the movie. your doing something right my man keep it up

Hell yes! I absolutely love this movie! It's in my top 10 ten, probably top 5. I'm so glad another reactor has watched this gem.

In Bruges is in my top 10 movies of all time. It has a little bit of everything one could hope for in a great film.

Love this movie one of my favorites. To this day my friends and I still lightly clink our drink glasses on the edge of bartops because of this movie. Obscure reference but worth it.

What another great reaction dude, your insights and appreciation of certain shots and lines help me realise what I sometimes miss in my viewings. Keep em coming and I'll keep watching!

This is unexpected but this is probably a top 5 movie for me, super excited for this! Also off topic but the Fiennes’s name is pronounced like Ray not Ralph I’m pretty sure

the twist in this film is one of the most shocking i have ever seen. what a work of art this film is...cant believe you got around to reacting to this classic ...my guy brendon

This makes watching seven psychopaths almost mandatory

My favourite movie of all time. Everything about it is perfect. Thank you for reacting to this!

One of my favorite ‘00s movies. Everyone was great in this

I have been waiting a long time for this reaction. In Bruges, is one of my all time favourite movies. I love the dark humour and I liked your take on the movie/show as always!

One of my favourite films, just amazing in every way. Solid reaction.

I visited this city right before the movie came out and instantly fell in love with this movie and the city.

Well done on figuring out the purgatory theory of the movie on your first watch. It took me 2 watches to even notice that aspect of the film and after watching a few theory videos of it I'm certain that he is definitely in purgatory at the start of the movie. One of the theological theories of purgatory is actually infinite boredom. No torture or delight just boredom and waiting. Really fits with the tone of the movie.

I would love to see Lucky Number Slevin. It's criminally underrated. It also had witty dialog, but is a bit closer to Guy Richie movies than this.

You should also check out The Guard. It’s written and directed by John Michael McDonagh, Martin’s brother, and stars Brendan Gleason and Don Cheadle

Some other great performances from Colin Farrell are Tigerland, Minority Report, Phone Booth, Intermission, The New World, Ondine, Saving Mr. Banks, Seven Psychopaths, The Lobster, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, True Detective, The Killing of a Sacred Deer and The Gentlemen

Funny thing about Ralph Finnes, his first name is pronounced Rafe (Rayf).

One of my favorite films of all time! Never gets old watching it. My interpretation is...the monologue at the end is thinking back to the situation he’s in, “I really, really hoped I wouldn’t die.” This would indicate to me he lived, and is thinking back on it.

Thank you y being the only reactor on RU-vid to finally do one of my favorite movies!

Man I love this movie! You're watching some real bangers lately Brandon! I went to Bruges a few years ago with my wife. It's a beautiful place. Great beer!

Brandon reacting to one of my favorite movies? What a wonderful day!✨

With two Dubliners like Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell there's bound to be some witty banter even outside of the script.

This is one of my favourite films, glad you enjoyed it

One of my favourite [EXPLETIVE] movies! :D

I agree with the concensus here, this has become one of my favourite films of all time, such a fantastic script. It just gets better and better after multiple viewings.

All the Irish characters react in very Irish ways to everything. Thats the beauty of the movie. Its very real.

One of my favourite movies. Loved your reaction. Keep up the great work.

So glad you're watching this gem. I absolutely love this movie

Before I even start the reaction video, I assume it's gonna be non-stop censoring, lol.

"It's an inanimate fucking object." "YOU'RE AN INANIMATE FUCKING OBJECT."

Love that you're reacting to this movie! Helpful hint, Ralph Fiennes' first name is pronounced "Rafe".

Been waiting ages for you to watch this one! Great video!

I absolutely love this movie! I finally got to go to bruges back in 2018. Lovely town.

Bro, I swear you have access to my history cuz you are watching all my favorite shows and movies.

'In Bruges' and 'Seven Psychopaths' are probably my two favorite Colin Farrell movies.

This is one of the most quotable films ever.

This is one of my favorite films of all time. I just absolutely love the dialogue and the acting. Phenomenal stuff. The attempted hit/suicide scene still sticks with me to this day.

I can't wait for this, one of my favourite films

I thought everyone knew that Bruges is where all of Dr Evil's homies are.

THIS is the movie i've been waiting for :D

This was such an amazing movie. It was such a fresh plot too. Normally, most movies will have hitman accidently killing a kid, gets guilty and wants to get out of killer organization, that will laugh at such guilt and try to kill the hitman. This movie, on the other hand, the hitman just wants to off himself and the crime boss also wants to kill him cause even he believes that killing a little kid, accidental or otherwise, just ain't acceptable XD.

This is such an amazing movie. Really underrated

“A lollipop man who knows karate???!”

This movie doesn't have to be loved by but must be appreciated by all. It's different in such aa refreshing way. Dialogue and good writing for the win.
