  Paul looks and lowkey acts exactly like Alex Honnold which only helps my argument that Alex could kill a person and feel nothing. Like did you see the way he talked about his girlfriend in Free Solo? Sheesh. Anyways this was fucking great!

  King Haneke calling us out for being complicit in the violence in cinema with the creepiest, most chilling use of breaking the fourth wall.

  “Why are you doing this to us?” “Why not?”

  Oh God, Mother. Blood. Blood.

  And so Norman will clean up, as he has done before. The efficiency of his cleansing is the product of repetition. Ritualistic anger followed by ritualistic ablution. He packs Marion’s body, wrapped carefully in the dislodged shower curtain, in the trunk of her car. Everything must go, including the bulky newspaper on the nightstand—this was a crime of passion, not profit.

  On to the swamp, which must by now be getting crowded. Shift to neutral, give a slight push, and watch your problems swallowed up by the façade of domestic tranquility. What a good son.

  But wait. The car has stopped sinking. It can’t remain exposed,…

  Review by Larry ★★★★ 11

  It all started with the eggs.... Oh god, the egg scene. How painfully awkward. How painfully ominous. How painfully nerve wracking.

  Note to self: If a young blonde man with a Hitler youth haircut comes into my home wearing white gloves asking to borrow eggs, lock all the doors and windows. Or get the hell out while you still can.

  Last night was my first viewing of the original German version of Funny Games and this morning, I'm still having trouble putting into words what I just saw. The plot is simple enough. A family of three is held hostage by two young men as they are forced to play their sick "game." This setup is already ripe for loads…

  WTF did I just watch???

  It's a movie that exists to troll its audience. I don't enjoy that feeling but I respect Michael Haneke for his balls and execution.

  It's as if the protagonists and the antagonists are living in separate movies, which is intentional. You are watching a manufactured evil meet a real family and the joke is on you for caring about them. I hate it. I mean I love it, but I hate it. It's great, but never again.

  I went in blind. Someone told me it was scary, I knew nothing else. I just feel hurt right now. I have a feeling I will be thinking about this movie for a while, but for now I just want it to leave my head so I can have peaceful dreams.

  She shouldda gone for the remote, not the gun.

  The music at the beginning, randomly in the middle, and at the end sounds like what a headache would sound like if it were made into a song

  as vile, disgusting, and gruesome as this film is, only one moment of violence is shown. somehow, it’s one of the most satisfying things in the world, even though the rest of the film you’re basically begging not to see it. and then, just like that, all that satisfaction is taken away, and you’re put right back into this bleak world full of dread.

  subtle.

  wait, you can make a subtle film about a woman’s life getting fucked up by people entering her home without her permission that ultimately serves as greater commentary on the human race? take notes aronofsky.
