only god forgives
has a trash review on rotten tomatoes (40%) and was wondering what you thought
i liked a lot about it but i would only ever give it a 7/10
the script needed to be better, the pacing needed to be better, but everything else was pretty solid
on a side note, only god forgives has one of my fav endings of all time, i am in love with this ending; tonally, stylistically, i love how the style alienates the audience. i love how the officers, like us, are transfixed on the performance. it reminds me of the ending paths of glory, but it has its own unique take on the spectator reflecting on their experiences
this ending is not only effective because it looks good, it serves to put the entire film into a retrospective that is revealing of the society, the chief's character and of the film's true nature - that the world is an immoral place, ambiguous, painful
merry xmas
