when tom cruise yelled RESPECT THE COCK!! i thought oh okay this is going to be fun and then i cried for 2 hours
Film students and critics love to make a big deal about the "showy" moments in this movie. They go on about the long takes, the prologue, the hidden 82s, the narration, the sing-a-long and the frogs. It's kind of hard not to. And with an epic run-time of 188 minutes, there is no shortage of "showy" acting as well. Not a single moment comes easy. People hurt and people get hurt. Every single character is an exposed raw nerve. So yeah, there is a lot to chew on in this film both emotionally and aesthetically. But I think what brings people back again and again is actually something rather simple. They just like the reassuring message that no matter how bad things get, the rain will eventually stop...when you wise up.
Quite possibly the quickest 3 hours ever. An all around mesmerizing film from beginning till end. I am also truly shocked at how good John C. Reilly was.
THE SOUNDTRACK IS AMAZING!
When I die I want this scene to be played at my funeral.
"Motherfucker. Motherfucker. You fucking asshole. Who the fuck are you? Who the fuck do you think you are? I come in here, you don't know me, you don't know who I am, what my life is, you have the balls, the indecency to ask me a question about my life? Fuck you, too. Don't call me "lady". I come in here, I give these things to you, you check, you make your phone calls, look suspicious, ask questions. I'm sick. I have sickness all around me and you fucking ask me about my life? "What's wrong?" Have you seen death in your bed? In your house? Where's your fucking decency? And then I'm asked fucking questions. What's... wrong? You suck my dick. That's what's wrong. And you, you fucking call me "lady"? Shame on you. Shame on you. Shame on both of you."
"All that bullshit is true, you know?"
"Yeah."
"Find a good one and hold on and all that."
"Yeah."
one of those movies where every time a new song comes on it triggers such a high that i think to myself "that's my favorite song in the whole world"
