He was the best part of the movie. Count Pierre did nothing wrong.

this looks like a moody gay drama based on the trailer is it actually worth watching? ben matt combo already makes me leary

>>212737252
Yeah the marketing was very faggy, but don't let that stop you.
In essence it's actually a medieval legal drama by way of rashomon that's steeped in feudalism and the politics of France at the period.
Without spoiling:
>Two up and coming squires (Driver and Damon) become friends over the course of their careers
>One is uneducated and a social retard (Damon) but a competent fighter while the other (Driver) is an all-rounder who learned math and latin in the seminary and has a good political instinct
>Predictably, Driver starts having a lot of success since he's useful to their lord (Affleck) and doubly so because he's actually fun to have around while Damon resorts more and more to military service to advance because he's inept at anything else
>The friendship grows strained as their careers develop and they compete for station and success
>Driver ends up fucking Damon's wife
>Damon loses his shit and appeals to Affleck, who rules in favor of Driver because Driver is useful and not a sperg
>Damon goes over their head to Paris and appeals to the King, who by a fluke actually takes the case and ultimately rules that it will be settled by combat
This is the basic plot, but the neat part is that it explores the events from both men and the wife's perspectives Rashomon style. It's all pretty compelling to watch.
>Wary of Affleck / Damon
Part of why I like Affleck in this is he's a smaller role. He mostly is there to dunk on Damon which alone is a good reason to watch the film.

Reminds me of this guy

>>212737167 (OP)
Why is it so fucking dark

>>212738173
Why did they make Matt look like Theo Vonn

>>212737167 (OP)
Nothing about his speech + movement said a French king. Horrible performance.

>THE TRUTH
Hang Ridley Scott cause that fucker will live to 200 if you don't.

>>212738173
huh yeah I think I caught 15 minutes of it one time watching hbo or some shit. Might have to check it out

>>212737252
it's meh, third act ruins it
>see one guy's side of the story
>see other guy's side that tells a very different story
>instead of keeping the ambiguity they give you a third version, clearly the real one, that shows both as terrible men
they really should have skipped the woman's perspective, and I'm not saying this only because I'm a misogynist
>>212738275
it's set in the dark ages, duh

>>212739086
But the third act was the legal truth as proven by combat.

>>212739209
then we didn't need to see it, they could have hinted at it without showing it so blatantly, and the result of the duel would have tipped the viewers off on the fact that neither of the two stories was truthful

>>212737167 (OP)
He just wanted to collect his rents.

>>212738275
Color wise? Stupid filters. Ridley loves em.
>>212738316
Unironically a real hairstyle of the time period. It looks retarded but was totally acceptable then.
>>212738495
He's a count, anon. Modern equivalent of a lieutenant governor / middle manager.
>>212738552
I think he'll live to make Gladiator 3 even if we try to stop him.
>>212738678
Godspeed buddy. I enjoyed it.
>>212739086
I agree that it could've been a whole star better if it stayed inconclusive. Wasted opportunity.
>>212739399
Yes. Agreed.
>>212740161
Talk about relatable.
>Just try to do your job
>Retarded retinue keep starting vendettas against one another
>When scandal erupts try to keep it contained only for Matt Damon to appeal to the king, embarrassing you and your entire court in front of the entire realm

the movie was like an extended law and order episode medieval edition. also fuck that blue filter

>>212737167 (OP)
Did you experience pleasure at the end?

unironically my favorite film of the 2020s thus far. if anyone here hasn't watched it go torrent it immediately or watch it on Disney+ if you have a subscription. Jodie Comer is so cute bros.....

>>212741473
I loved the movie but the filter is a drag. Someone needs to start hiding them from directors.
>>212741611
It's great. And yes, she is cute.

>>212741432
Try to be less of a faggot

>>212737167 (OP)
I went to watch that in the kinoplex and holy shit the photography and grading were all over the place, same issue for Napoleon and not surprising since it was the same DP in both.

I liked the movie overall but the fucking title card saying "the real version" or whatever it said, was a slap in the face. The sheer audacity of demonstrably assuming their audience braindead retards incapable of drawing their own conclusions is baffling. Fucking morons, that made me want to turn it off.

The movie sucked but the ending combat sequence is pretty good

>>212741853
you first, Gonzalo
>>212741916
I hadn't bothered to check but of course they have the same DP. Man fuck that guy.
>>212742043
I know anon. Very close to glory there.
>>212742061
It is good, that's true. Makes you realize how shitty most melee combats are in movies these days.

>>212737167 (OP)
Did this movie need to replay the rape scene over and over?

>>212738173
Eric Jager's book on it is a good read. One of the arguments for Le Gris' innocence was rape wouldn't result in pregnancy.

>>212742043
agreed

>entire fucking appeal of the original story is the mystery and ambiguity, wondering if these two close friends are fighting over nothing
>ruin it by explicitly stating what happened and removing all complexity and depth because you're afraid of upsetting the #metoo crowd by questioning a woman's accusations
Fuck you Ridley, absolute hack

Imagine if this movie ended with some text saying "oh btw it was the woman's story that was true"

>>212738173
>Driver ends up fucking Damon's wife
he had to get it on. She was making a move

Chapter Three
Obviously false because the testimoney comes from a woman

>>212737167 (OP)
I love Damon's character because he's literally me but three acts of basically the same story was absurdly excessive.
