HOLY KINO

>>213040596 (OP)
The opening is one of my favorites.

>>213040596 (OP)
Everyone talks about Lord of War but another Cage kino that came out at basically the same time but was the complete opposite tonally and in terms of plot is The Weather Man.

Honestly, I think The Weather Man is way fucking better and way more authentically kino. Lord of War is a good movie but Lord of War is capeshit compared to The Weather Man.

>>213040596 (OP)
Jared Leto ruins it just like everything else he's in

>>213040755
>Lord of War is a good movie but Lord of War is capeshit compared to The Weather Man.
Lord of War is based on a real illegal arms dealer. The Weather Man was about a who who walks around with a bow and arrows slung on his shoulder.

>>213040806
yeah and Lord of War is also slick and quippy and WHOOOAAA THIS GUY IS A LEGEND HAHA FUCKIN' AMERICA IS THE WORST ARMS DEALER OF ALL HE'S AN ANTI-HERO, HE'S AN ANTI-VILLAIN, STICKING IT TO THE MAN, YOU THINK YOU CAUGHT ME BUT IN ABOUT 10 SECONDS YOUR BOSS IS GONNA WALK THRU THOSE DOORS AND GIVE ME THE KEYS TO THESE HANDCUFFS BUSTER

Weather Man is both incredibly intelligent and meditative on subjects of family, identity, perpetual silly life fuckups, while also being hilarious in both clever ways as well as blunt, crass, and slapstick ways, feels like a Coen Bros at times

>>213040596 (OP)
I agree but the definitive Cagekino is Snake Eyes

>>213040860
The Weather Man ends with a narration by Cage declaring over triumphant music
>I Am
>The Weather Man!

>>213040596 (OP)
Would have been better without Leto.

>>213040886
based, he was born to play a sleazy atlantic city detective

>>213040706
taking anti-war songs and playing them while making war look kino is my favourite trope

>>213040768
>>213042420
There is nothing wrong with Jared Leto in this movie, he did a great job and I looked great in it.

>>213042751
Okay Jared

>>213040806
>Lord of War is based on a real illegal arms dealer.
"inspired by true events" slop
>The Weather Man was about a who who walks around with a bow and arrows slung on his shoulder.
kino

>>213042751
>There is nothing wrong with Jared Leto in this movie
this is objectively false about every movie that he's in

>>213044077
he was great in 8mm

>>213040596 (OP)
this hunk of shit trips over itself to have a plot or even actually say anything, even though its literal only purpose is to morally grandstand about something
its like watching a Scorsese movie and he forgot to write the second half of the movie
>"I le sold GUNS to people, can you believe it?"
>okay and?
>"I sold guns and then a warcrime happened"
>the first 3 minutes of the movie started with one
>"oh no, I was shot by this drug trafficking Spic who was very obviously going to shoot me the second he was put into frame"
>and therefore? and then?
>"this guy who murdered someone in coldblood in front of me did bad things with gun"
>you dont say
the tension in this movie entirely revolves on yuropoor fear of firearms and all the "karmic punishment" is perpetual cockblocked by how very clearly wrong the characters action is and how instantly the results of said actions happen immediately

>>213040755
Based camel toe enjoyer.

>>213044869
Unnecessarily uncomfortable plotline

>>213040886
For me it's Next

>>213040755
Based. I love both films but Weather Man is very underrated. It was also directed by Gore Verbinski who did the Pirates of the Caribean.

>>213040596 (OP)
The twist ending where he got arrested, prisoner swapped for a WNBA player, and then returned to Russia, won an election to a provincial legislature, and went right back to selling guns to Arabs was a finale that very few in the audience were expecting

>>213040596 (OP)
i watched this movie when i was 10 or something.

these early aughts cage flicks

lord of war, weather man, matchstick men

are like a xanax'd out comedown after his string of high octane action movies in the 90s

>>213045220
>the US refused to exchanged him for several agents caught
>but did it for a niggress that could pass for a nigger that nobody knew off because nobody watch WNBA
No writer would see something so retarded happen

>>213046194
The Rock was also kino, one of the best opening sequences in kinography

>>213046194
whats that other one Family man?

so were they ukranian jews or fake jews?
that part I could never get.
also, why did they add that character trait in the film? was it to justify them being able to leave the Soviet Union before everyone else to come to America?

>>213040596 (OP)
How did Cage lose all of his money to where he's reduced to making 200 straight to toilet flicks a year?

>>213040768
this

I don't understand the point of this board. Just miserable losers spewing hatred on literally anything.

>>213046413
he bought an original t rex skull for like a shit ton, he bought a TON of stuff, he's obsessed with collectibles and rare shit

>>213044820
Imagine getting filtered by a kids movie

>>213046398
Emigration in the Soviet Union was heavily restricted and eventually from internal and external pressure allowed 100,000+ Jews to emigrate to U.S. and Israel etc and so some non-Jews falsified Jewish identities as one of their only chances to get out of the USSR.

This is also why there's a large amount of Russians in Israel who aren't Jewish at all.

>>213040755
all of Cages "man" movies, the weather man, the family man and matchstick men, are super underrated and some of his best work

>>213040706
I love the way he narrates
>As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a weapons smuggler

>>213040596 (OP)
Willy's Wonderland is one of his best works by far and btfo's the FNAF fanchise.

>>213046296
kek
>be WNBA basketball american
>bring weed on an international flight to another country
>get arrested like you would in any other airport
>whole country erupts in protest, president demands your release
>get traded back for an actual scum of the earth war criminal responsible for countless deaths
>it gets memoryholed

>>213046550
take it easy jared

>>213047949
>a nog foid ball hopper is worth the same as a war criminal in the mind of americans
There's a ton of pearls like that during the Biden years.

>>213044820
Wow just like in GTA: Vice City and in real life.

>>213040596 (OP)

This movie is simultaneously one of the worst and best films ever made. It keeps non-stop penduluming you between cringe garbage and based shit-eating grin kino. I liked it though personally.

the real life story is even more kino
imagine getting set free in exchange for some tranny nigger kek

I liked it

>>213050704
while we didn't know it at the time, it's what makes the ending that much more kino

>>213052218
yeah it made the movie much more kino after that happened
