@meelans6126 4 года назад

I'll be honest i thought the video was gonna be about how the story beats of the film lie to the viewer. For example, Howard wins the bet, his colonoscopy results were good and he reunites with Julia(not the best person in the world but at least it's someone) It makes you think that everything will work out for Howard but they ultimately don't because he's a terrible person who took too many risks.

The opening scene in Ethopia was among the best in the film. If it had been written badly it could have been incongruous, but instead, with its cacophony of voices and vulnerable camera angles surrounded by furious people, it encapsulates the chaos of the film. And then we come out of Howard's colon. He treats everyone like shit and he thinks we're shit too. Through happenstance and "wrong" ideas they created a magnificent opening sequence.

@BehindtheCurtain 4 года назад

Amazing. Sometimes you can take a bad idea and make it into something more intelligent and meaningful.

@willmosse3684 4 года назад

A colonoscopy is also a kind of mining...

@aceofbastone 4 года назад

Stasis Although that works as an analogy, I mainly think the colonoscopy scene - and the other times he is seen concerned about his health - is trying to show that Howard is actually concerned about his mortality. but the gemstone obscured that, leading to his series of self destructive decisions

Things were moving so fast that you hardly had time to consider the gut punching realities of what just happened in each scene. It wasn't a shot for shot pulse pounding movie where the score emphasizes important scenes. Or where one scene felt insanely critical. The score made all the scenes connected, flowing, and stopped you from getting stuck on just one thing. It made it like life. You can tell when a movie has a gritty New York feel. And this movie delivers that authenticity. Many of the actors were real New Yorkers. Adam Sandlers character was so believable that sandler was unrecognizable. I wanted to hate this movie, I wanted to hate this character, I wanted to hate this story, but I love it. I loved every second of it. And I need to watch it again.

@jayshiggs 4 года назад

One of the best movies I have seen in recent memory. Great story that was exciting, funny and unexpected. I also just feel a weird connection to it that's just hard to explain. Obvious things like I'm from NY, I love basketball, fine definitely not unique. But hearing them talk about connecting ideas that should be contradictory/not go together makes me think more on a cosmic/spiritual level how EVERYTHING is connected. I don't know if I'm explaining it well but this movie just really resonated with me. Even the ending is contradictory, everyone fears death or is not looking forward to it but Howard dies with a smile on his face. Great, great movie. Gonna watch it again ASAP.
