If you want a headache, a sore stomach, and to experience a high level of anxiety for two hours, go and see Fargo, I mean Argo.
I wish I had something super interesting to say about this film, but I don't. However, there were three worthwhile *kinda quotes that happened around the film.
*Kinda Quotes are things that someone sorta said. They are altered either because I can't remember what was said exactly or because a slight re-imagining makes them more interesting.
1. After telling a friend I was going to see this movie he commented, "That movie is in the Oscar race. Doesn't sound like your kinda movie." (To be clear, he was trying to zip me.)
2. Me to my movie friend after about ten minutes in, "I think this movie is too smart for me."
3. My movie friend's response, "No it's not! Um, why did the ________ do the ___________?" (She was asking a clarifying question. I blanked out key words as I don't know them and also as to not spoil the film.)
Just to clarify, I'm not saying the movie wasn't super good, super engaging, really intense, well directed (I think), well acted, etc. etc. I AM. It's just that there are probably way more qualified people who have already written way insightful reviews. Check them out. I have another Christmas post to write.
I don't think that your friend was "trying to zip [you]"; I think your friend zipped you. Just saying.
ReplyDeletePS. There isn't a movie out there that's too smart for you...except maybe Maid in Manhattan. That kind of play on words is confusing.
I've seen it and was recently considering a second watch. Oh shoot! I DO have bad taste in movies!
