60 of 81 · most liked firstTonight’s movie: In the Name of the Father (1993). And now I am going to look up the Wikipedia entry because, though it shouldn’t surprise me, the pre-credits note that no UK police or detectives ever faced justice is so enraging.
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched In the Name of the Father for the first time on the flight back from Belfast, and it was a great, deeply affecting movie, but also I just don’t think we give Daniel Day-Lewis enough credit for how insanely hot he was in the late 80s and early 90s
neutral · AI labelView post →Nickel Boys is on track to be the lowest grossing non-streaming Best Picture nominee of the modern era worldwide - even behind the theatrically released COVID year nominees like Minari and The Father! Absolute malpractice by Amazon in how they handled that film.
neutral · AI labelView post →In my film studies A-level class (I only did the most useful A-levels) we had to watch In the Name of the Father and it turned the entire class FURIOUS, we were raging at injustice in every subsequent lesson on the movie. I think In the Name of the Father radicalised me by being so good.

neutral · AI labelView post →You guys know it. Who wasn’t the Father of Film? Whose grave do I regularly dance on? Say it with me: DW Griffith! Because I hold the radical opinion that we don’t need to praise a Confederate monument to engage in silent film discussions
neutral · AI labelView post →The Father made me so sad I've only been able to watch it once but I think it's not only the best performance Anthony Hopkins has ever given...I think it's a contender for the greatest Best Actor performance of all time. Words can't do justice to what he does in this film.

neutral · AI labelView post →I am in the DW GRIFFITH IS THE FATHER OF FILM (he wasn’t, he just lied and claimed he invented stuff) YOU NEED TO LOOK AT CONTEXT (the context was he was racist and also a sex pest) NOBODY WAS OFFENDED BACK IN THE DAY (there were literal protests, kevin) everyday, so I am ready for Columbus slander

Me: Find someone else. Them: An academic journal published a piece calling DW Griffith the Father of Film. Me: (slowly lowers ax)
neutral · AI labelView post →Not sure I have a grasp on Best Actor. Smart money's probably still on Chalamet, though Wagner Moura's lurking in the shadows—perhaps too in the shadows? Everybody loves MBJ and Ethan Hawke. Maybe they give Leo one for a good movie this time? But you can never count out Anthony Hopkins in The Father

neutral · AI labelView post →Apparently the director behind the original Little Mermaid Disney movie is upset that the remake didn't play up the Father-Daughter relationship like his did. I hate to tell this man this, but that is not what anyone would have called the "heart of the movie."
neutral · AI labelView post →Now with half a year of hindsight, my frustration with Nolan's choices in Oppenheimer has crystalized to this: the most compelling part of Oppenheimer's biography is the fight the Father of the A-Bomb waged against the H-Bomb from 1945 to 1954. Nolan's film is especially slight on this, the crux.

If you grew up in the 80s, this was the movie to watch, and this song was the big thing. The song itself was composed by the 'Father of Disco' -- Giorgio Moroder!

neutral · AI labelView post →A lot of the replies/quotes to this are saying how bad the film is they watched once. For me, it's the opposite. 'The Father', with Anthony Hopkins. It was very, very, raw and the whole idea of losing oneself and identity in that way absolutely terrifies me. A really, really good film, but...

The Holy Spirit has all but abandoned him in this marriage story about literal bunkers and metaphorical bunkers. And in case we didn’t get the metaphor, the married-in-real-life couple makes sure we do again & again. #TIFF26 📽️

neutral · AI labelView post →You should probably watch #TheFather movie by #FlorianZeller, with #AnthonyHopkins + #OliviaColman, but only if you have a tolerance for movies about #dementia. The last 10 minutes get fairly difficult to take even if you can otherwise deal with all that. It's an 8,2 on IMDB, so, as said. Probably worth a watch if able to take it. Olivia Williams, Mark Gatiss, Rufus Sewell, Imogen Poots.
