What a conversation between Harry and Ken would sound like if they were talking about some lame person who doesn't like this movie:
Harry: So he's having a really nice time watching In Bruges?
Ken: Well, I'm having a really nice time watching In Bruges. I'm not sure it's really his cup of tea.
Harry: (Stunned silence) What?
Ken: You know... I'm not sure it's really his thing.
Harry: What do you mean it's not really his thing? What's that supposed to mean? It's not really his thing... What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
Ken: Nothing, Harry.
Harry: But it's a masterpiece, isn't it? How can a masterpiece not be somebody's fucking thing? The brilliant fucking dialogue, the perfect fucking casting, the wonderful fucking blend of the most hilarious dark humor with spine-tingling drama and character development... how can that not be somebody's fucking thing? How can that be?
The only film where you will witness Madeye Moody and Voldemort sit in a bar and call each other cunts.
Pure fucking brilliance. Everything fucking works. Fucking humour, fucking emotions, fucking Ralph fucking Fiennes is the fucking best fucking ever.
"You're an inanimate fuckin' object!"
I cannot get over that line. It's so fucking good.
Martin McDonagh’s debut feature is a profane black comedy about those two perennial Catholic obsessions - guilt and sin. Two foul-mouthed Irish hitmen are sent to Bruges following a botched job and ordered to wait there until they receive further instructions. The film’s chief success comes in this brilliantly realised central pairing that is a perfect marriage between script and performance.
Colin Farrell plays the grief stricken, Ray - a cocksure and frequently inappropriate Jack the lad who made a grave mistake during his one and only hit. Ray, like practically every other character that finds themselves stuck in Bruges, isn’t particularly nice yet his natural Irish charm and sense of morality (albeit a warped one) make him an interesting,…
I watched this when it first came out and I did not know how to respond. I knew I had seen something new and fresh but I didn't know how I felt about it. Since then I have often gone quiet when this has been brought up in general conversation, never being sure what to say.
This evening I went to movie mystery Monday at my local cinema. Pay three quid and you could see anything. You don't know what it is till the film starts. This could be old, recent, out now or even a preview of a film not out yet. I love this. The expectation of the room is always high and this evening was no exception.…
"I'm sorry for calling you an inanimate object. I was upset."
colin farrell is such a daddy. please, colin, carry me away from bruges in your strong irish arms.
In Bruges is a dark masterpiece, weaving genuinely thoughtful themes of existentialism, the after life, regret and retribution with razor sharp comedic wit and an intriguing cast of characters who all hope to atone for some sort of sin. The dreamy and picturesque city of Bruges is the perfect contrasting backdrop for the immensely grim proceedings of two hitmen on the run after a botched job. Though the film ponders many weighty philosophical questions, it never really feels pretentious due to its believable dialogue and interaction between the characters. The tone of In Bruges wildly fluctuates, in a good way - One minute you're laughing hysterically, the next bawling your eyes out. Much like the cycle of life and afterlife,…
Colin Farrell gives a really funny and expressive performance, but besides that I didn't find this movie to be uproariously funny. That's not to say it wasn't enjoyable. The dialogue is great, the acting's good, there's nothing to really dislike about this movie. I was expecting more of a Seven Psychopaths vibe to this, and while I liked the craziness of that movie much more, this was still a solid, fun film.
I love this movie. The acting is perfect, the dialogue is sublime, and it all comes together in a cohesive package. Colin Farrell is becoming my spirit animal.
I as deciding between 3.5-4.5 and I was trending toward the better scores I remembered Colin Farrell karate chopped a midget, wait, a dwarf in the neck. 4.5 stars.
I can't believe that Ralph Fiennes's FIRST SCENE was the phone scene like what a fucking intro
ralph fiennes smashing the phone on his desk after receiving a call from ken is exactly how i feel everytime i finish this movie
Strepitosa perla ambientata in una delle mie città preferite: un noir dolce amaro e sarcastico al tempo stesso.
Cast stupendo.
