WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.899 From the dungeons of Morningstar, my name is 00:00:01.899 --> 00:00:08.759 Clint. You happy with that take? Yep. An arm 00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:15.380 stretch. And this is Prevailing Strange. I'm 00:00:15.380 --> 00:00:28.539 keeping that. Welcome back, guys, to our Week 00:00:28.539 --> 00:00:30.559 in Review, a segment of Prevailing Strange where 00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.140 we talk about some of the content that we've 00:00:32.140 --> 00:00:34.280 checked out this week. Like Sasquatch Summer. 00:00:34.939 --> 00:00:37.259 What have we watched this week, buddy? I want 00:00:37.259 --> 00:00:39.039 to watch Sasquatch Summer next week, but we're 00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:42.460 not going to. But I did watch a movie that I 00:00:42.460 --> 00:00:44.859 honestly, for all money, thought I was going 00:00:44.859 --> 00:00:49.859 to hate. Man, all the buzz around it, I probably 00:00:49.859 --> 00:00:51.579 wouldn't have watched it unless that was the 00:00:51.579 --> 00:01:01.719 case. Honestly, dude. chased or sought out. Baz 00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:04.420 Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet is basically the 00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:07.180 only sort of interaction I've had with William 00:01:07.180 --> 00:01:11.340 Shakespeare. Steph loves it. It was weird. It 00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:13.420 was stunning, dude. But that weren't the book. 00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:15.379 That weren't the story. That was just the way 00:01:15.379 --> 00:01:20.379 the bloke made it. It was beautiful. We're talking 00:01:20.379 --> 00:01:24.280 about Hamnet. Yes, we are. Or, as I found out 00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.400 at the start. Hamlet. I didn't know that. Yeah. 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:31.099 Oscar nominated Best Picture. Didn't get it. 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:36.260 It was also nominated for Best Costumes. Didn't 00:01:36.260 --> 00:01:40.219 get it. Directing by Chloe Zhao. Didn't get it. 00:01:40.299 --> 00:01:43.819 An original score, which I didn't get. But Jessie 00:01:43.819 --> 00:01:48.099 Buckley. Mate. Got Best Actress for it. Hands 00:01:48.099 --> 00:01:51.120 down the best part about this movie. She was 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.900 incredible. And I've never seen her in anything 00:01:54.900 --> 00:01:59.420 before. No. She was incredible, dude. And she 00:01:59.420 --> 00:02:04.239 backed it up with Bride. Is she the Bride? Bride 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.599 Frankenstein, yeah. There you go. I'll probably 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:11.120 check that out as well. But, yeah, this movie, 00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:15.939 it left me broken. Yeah. Well, all right, here 00:02:15.939 --> 00:02:18.300 we go. I'm going to read you my review. Okay. 00:02:18.460 --> 00:02:20.180 All right. So going into Hamnet, I'll be honest. 00:02:20.569 --> 00:02:22.729 I was expecting a bit of a slow, artsy slog, 00:02:22.889 --> 00:02:25.449 you know, at the time. Lots of staring into the 00:02:25.449 --> 00:02:27.349 distance, not much happening, and at the start, 00:02:27.409 --> 00:02:30.550 yeah, you kind of feel like that. As soon as 00:02:30.550 --> 00:02:32.110 it started, I'm like, I'm not going to like this. 00:02:33.509 --> 00:02:38.349 And I don't like the main actor. I don't like 00:02:38.349 --> 00:02:41.289 the lead male actor. He is one of the poorest 00:02:41.289 --> 00:02:43.710 excuses for an actor I've ever seen, and the 00:02:43.710 --> 00:02:46.150 only time I liked him in this was at the end. 00:02:46.550 --> 00:02:48.830 The biggest letdown early on is definitely Paul 00:02:48.830 --> 00:02:52.080 Muskell. I don't think he's a good actor at all. 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:56.259 He plays William Shakespeare. I didn't know that 00:02:56.259 --> 00:02:57.659 that was Will Shakespeare because they don't 00:02:57.659 --> 00:03:00.139 mention him by name until right at the end. Yeah. 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:05.800 Had no idea. Anyway. So it didn't grab me at 00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:07.439 all. His performance didn't grab me at all. It 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.280 felt so flat and it just felt like a different 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:13.360 movie. But stick with it anyway. The rest of 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.099 the cast absolutely carried this film. The real 00:03:15.099 --> 00:03:19.250 MVPs was definitely Jesse Buckley as Agnes. Straight 00:03:19.250 --> 00:03:23.289 up phenomenal. Emily Watson, man, in such a small, 00:03:23.449 --> 00:03:28.030 small role. Impactful though. So impactful. So 00:03:28.030 --> 00:03:30.909 impactful and just absolutely kills it. Brought 00:03:30.909 --> 00:03:34.830 so much emotional weight to it. Jo Alwyn, solid 00:03:34.830 --> 00:03:37.849 support cast, but Buckley especially. She's the 00:03:37.849 --> 00:03:42.569 reason this film works. Just her veracity in 00:03:42.569 --> 00:03:45.169 the opening bit when it's just her in the forest 00:03:45.169 --> 00:03:49.460 with the falcon and that. Fantastic. She really, 00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:52.860 really, really killed it. So the film follows 00:03:52.860 --> 00:03:54.719 William Shakespeare and his wife, Agnes, dealing 00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:58.020 with the loss and how grief eventually leads 00:03:58.020 --> 00:04:01.460 to the creation of Hamlet. I had no idea. I've 00:04:01.460 --> 00:04:03.020 never watched Hamlet, never read Hamlet, never 00:04:03.020 --> 00:04:05.680 let anyone that's ever spoken about Hamlet be 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.360 around me because I don't want that sort of negativity. 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:12.199 Well, you have. Do you like William Shakespeare? 00:04:12.819 --> 00:04:20.040 You've watched Sons of Anarchy. It's based on 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:24.199 Hamlet. Hamlet. Shush. It's not based on Hamlet, 00:04:24.220 --> 00:04:30.019 is it? Yeah, it is. No. His mum didn't betray 00:04:30.019 --> 00:04:32.579 him. In Sons of Anarchy, the mum was the betrayer. 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.480 The son lived. The father died. It's literally 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:40.560 from the old mate's mouth. He based it on Hamlet. 00:04:40.699 --> 00:04:47.139 He hasn't read Hamlet because he's a mong. About 00:04:47.139 --> 00:04:49.920 halfway. About halfway through the film, something 00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.379 clicks, and you stop worrying about whether it's 00:04:52.379 --> 00:04:54.519 boring and start actually feeling the emotion 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.939 these characters are pulling in through this 00:04:56.939 --> 00:05:00.980 whole movie. Critics have called it emotionally 00:05:00.980 --> 00:05:05.699 shattering, and I 100 % believe that. So, yeah, 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.339 the director, Chloe Zhao, I think absolutely 00:05:08.339 --> 00:05:10.439 smashed it. I think she'd done an incredible 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:12.379 job. And you've got to think about the movies 00:05:12.379 --> 00:05:15.879 that she's made before this. Completely different. 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:21.199 She made a superhero film. Well, I was going 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.420 to say, from the opening, I could tell it was 00:05:24.420 --> 00:05:29.480 Chloe Zhao because of, like, the scenery, the 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.800 scenery shots in that forest, the way the symbolism 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:37.519 of that hole throughout the movie. Still guessing. 00:05:37.740 --> 00:05:40.800 I have no idea what the hole meant. That's the 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.339 veil. That's the crossing over to the other side. 00:05:43.459 --> 00:05:49.800 That is death. The afterlife. Right. And the 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.759 whole time, Jessie Buckley's character, Agnes, 00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.860 kind of flirted around with her witchcraftery. 00:05:55.899 --> 00:05:58.680 Yep. And you always see that black doorway. And 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.019 then right at the end, he walks out of the black 00:06:01.019 --> 00:06:04.399 doorway. You view him when he's on the other 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:08.480 side through the curtain. It's very symbolic, 00:06:08.579 --> 00:06:12.220 this movie. Yeah. Yeah. Well done. Holy shit. 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.560 Never really connected that. Chloe Zhao, she 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:20.019 directed Nomadland, which won Best Picture, Eternals. 00:06:20.019 --> 00:06:24.879 This one feels more like Nomadland. Quite emotional, 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:28.060 character -driven. Based on the best -selling 00:06:28.060 --> 00:06:31.139 novel by Maggie O 'Farrell and filmed mostly 00:06:31.139 --> 00:06:36.100 in England and Wales. Won a People's Choice Award 00:06:36.100 --> 00:06:42.110 at the TIFF and was a big Oscar prediction. Made 00:06:42.110 --> 00:06:44.870 $100 million worldwide on a $30 million budget. 00:06:45.649 --> 00:06:49.290 And I legit think, mate, that this should have 00:06:49.290 --> 00:06:51.370 done a lot better at the Oscars than it did. 00:06:52.290 --> 00:06:55.129 I'm not really an art film kind of person, but 00:06:55.129 --> 00:06:58.930 this made me feel things like Marrowbone did. I 00:06:58.930 --> 00:07:02.089 was thinking at the end, I kind of had that feeling 00:07:02.089 --> 00:07:06.709 at the end of Marabone that, whoa, that just, 00:07:06.810 --> 00:07:09.329 I experienced that movie. I didn't just watch 00:07:09.329 --> 00:07:12.779 it. 100%. Experienced it. I don't think it was 00:07:12.779 --> 00:07:15.060 best picture, definitely. I don't think it was. 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.319 No. Costume fell short, like didn't fall short, 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.639 was well done. Yeah. However, though, I honestly 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:24.519 don't think one battle after another should have 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:28.459 been best picture neither. That's the truth, 00:07:28.540 --> 00:07:32.160 man. I don't know how that won. Yeah. It was 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.139 good. I'm not taking away that it wasn't good. 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:40.069 It was a good film. Yeah. If I was to put that 00:07:40.069 --> 00:07:42.709 and this beside each other, I'd pick this any 00:07:42.709 --> 00:07:47.529 day. This had this, I was a wrung out towel at 00:07:47.529 --> 00:07:49.910 the end of this, man. I was just exhausted. Yeah, 00:07:49.930 --> 00:07:53.269 I feel that. The difference between them two, 00:07:53.350 --> 00:07:57.370 I think, is there's a whole lot more better performances 00:07:57.370 --> 00:08:00.949 in one battle after another where there's one 00:08:00.949 --> 00:08:03.610 super outstanding one in Hamnet. Don't get me 00:08:03.610 --> 00:08:06.509 wrong, there is plenty good about it, but like 00:08:06.509 --> 00:08:10.800 your Leo. You've got – Yeah, but Leo and Sean 00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:14.360 Penn were the – Sean Penn. Oh, no. Benicio Del 00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:16.839 Toro was also great in that. And his girlfriend 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:21.779 was fantastic as well. Yeah. And his daughter 00:08:21.779 --> 00:08:25.600 in the movie, Chase Infinity, all great. Yeah. 00:08:25.740 --> 00:08:28.879 Great cinematography. There's a whole lot more 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.279 kind of going for that movie than Hamlet, which 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:36.580 is a great story and emotional punch. It just 00:08:36.580 --> 00:08:39.600 – One Battle After Another had a whole lot more 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:44.940 kind of, it had more quantity over quality of 00:08:44.940 --> 00:08:50.039 one thing. You know what I mean? Right. I don't 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:51.620 know. I don't know. I guess I just didn't feel, 00:08:51.779 --> 00:08:55.480 like you said, you experienced this movie. You 00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.480 didn't just watch it. I just watched One Battle 00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:01.120 After Another. Yeah. I mean, you felt contempt 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.059 for Penn. You felt that movie in a different 00:09:04.059 --> 00:09:10.580 way. I hated him. Yeah. But he hated him. I loved 00:09:10.580 --> 00:09:12.940 him because he'd done such an insanely great 00:09:12.940 --> 00:09:17.419 job. Well earned. Well, I love Jessie Buckley 00:09:17.419 --> 00:09:19.799 in this because she broke my fucking heart. Hard, 00:09:19.820 --> 00:09:23.500 dude. Yeah. So, like, I think they've both got 00:09:23.500 --> 00:09:26.600 chops. Okay. So now we're going to delve into, 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.259 we're going to spit some spoilers at you. When 00:09:30.259 --> 00:09:33.980 she reaches her hand out at the end. onto that 00:09:33.980 --> 00:09:38.279 fucking stage. Sorry for swearing. And the first 00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:40.700 thing she does when she meets Paul Mescal's 00:09:40.700 --> 00:09:42.700 character is she grabs him on the hand and sort 00:09:42.700 --> 00:09:44.480 of pushes like this. And you don't really know 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.679 until maybe midway through and he's like, when 00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:50.120 you did that, you could see who I was and what 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:53.240 I was going to do, didn't you? At the very end, 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:57.279 the person playing her son, when she grabs his 00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:06.220 hand and she does that, mate. So, you know, there's 00:10:06.220 --> 00:10:08.700 a whole symbology. You know how she assaulted 00:10:08.700 --> 00:10:14.600 Hamnet in the courtyard of their little house 00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:17.440 when Will had gone away and how he's going to 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:19.820 be on stage and doing the sword fighting. And 00:10:19.820 --> 00:10:23.899 at the end, his character is based on him sword 00:10:23.899 --> 00:10:28.519 fighting. Yeah, there's a whole lot of introspective 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:32.139 kind of symbology in this whole movie that, yeah. 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:37.720 I think the reason why the only redeeming thing 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.779 for me with Paul Mescal, his character, even 00:10:40.779 --> 00:10:44.720 his job in acting in his film, it wasn't the 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:46.539 acting that he was doing that was making me feel 00:10:46.539 --> 00:10:48.740 emotional. It was my son that was making me feel 00:10:48.740 --> 00:10:52.539 emotional. I was bringing me into it. It wasn't 00:10:52.539 --> 00:10:55.580 him doing a great job. It was me bringing Logan 00:10:55.580 --> 00:10:58.659 into it and feeling all that stuff. Like, how 00:10:58.659 --> 00:11:04.240 would I feel? Oh, my God. I don't know, man. 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:07.580 Like that part where he comes home and he gets 00:11:07.580 --> 00:11:10.700 there late and he comes in the door and he sees 00:11:10.700 --> 00:11:13.519 his daughter and he thinks like he thought he 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:15.120 was late. You could see the weight on him. And 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:18.480 then he sees his daughter and he's ecstatic. 00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:24.980 And then he sees somebody. But still. And then 00:11:24.980 --> 00:11:27.080 the next week he goes, I can't go back to London. 00:11:27.710 --> 00:11:30.429 See what I mean? And I know they're trying to 00:11:30.429 --> 00:11:34.250 tell a story of this and people's grief is subjective. 00:11:34.409 --> 00:11:35.929 Everybody goes through something differently 00:11:35.929 --> 00:11:40.070 and all that sort of stuff. That annoyed me. 00:11:40.710 --> 00:11:45.909 Yeah. Because that little boy did exactly what 00:11:45.909 --> 00:11:48.049 you told him to do and now you're just going 00:11:48.049 --> 00:11:51.269 to go back to work. Yeah. But at the same time, 00:11:51.309 --> 00:11:55.350 the way I looked at it, I'm going to try not 00:11:55.350 --> 00:12:00.529 to cry. The fact that he goes away to work, it's 00:12:00.529 --> 00:12:02.730 kind of reflective of the way that I spend a 00:12:02.730 --> 00:12:04.929 lot of time away from home working every day 00:12:04.929 --> 00:12:06.970 and I only have a certain amount of time with 00:12:06.970 --> 00:12:12.289 my kids during the day and that I can understand 00:12:12.289 --> 00:12:21.269 his whilst not only is he following his talent 00:12:21.269 --> 00:12:24.250 because he was no good at anything at home. No. 00:12:24.909 --> 00:12:27.639 He couldn't do gloves. Couldn't do all that kind 00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:31.259 of crap. But he could write and direct and see 00:12:31.259 --> 00:12:33.379 stories and stuff like that. And she saw that 00:12:33.379 --> 00:12:36.840 in him early on. And that's where he needed to 00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.360 go for it. But she couldn't leave the forest. 00:12:39.580 --> 00:12:41.679 No. Well, she didn't want to leave that house 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:43.919 because that's where Hamlet died. She didn't 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:47.899 want to leave the forest. Yeah. But that was 00:12:47.899 --> 00:12:57.159 in the end because that's where he died. with 00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:59.039 that grief. It's not like he's going there to 00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:01.399 live it up and they show that when he's living 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:08.639 in that little hole. Yeah. But in the same thing, 00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:12.519 you've still got two children. Just because you're 00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:14.759 sad doesn't mean you get to abandon your family 00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:16.320 and you abandon your kids. I don't give a shit 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.980 what your path is. If you're a dad, your path 00:13:18.980 --> 00:13:23.960 is to be a dad. Mate, mate. No offence, it's 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:27.360 only in the last kind of generation where men 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:30.039 have actually been fathers. Yeah, you're right. 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:36.220 Yeah, you're not wrong. Back then, they would 00:13:36.220 --> 00:13:39.960 sire a child and they would do their work. See 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:44.320 you later. Yeah, there was no real place for 00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:47.039 that. It was a different time. You're looking 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:48.899 at it subjectively from our point of view. You 00:13:48.899 --> 00:13:51.399 are right, yeah. I'm putting myself in it instead 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:55.620 of. And, like, it wouldn't have been easy for 00:13:55.620 --> 00:13:58.519 him. Well, that's the thing. You think that he's, 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:01.840 the whole way, the tail end of this movie, you 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:04.679 think he's not grieving. But that story that 00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:07.299 he wrote that has transcended time and space, 00:14:07.620 --> 00:14:11.879 we're still talking about it, what, 140 years 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:14.970 later? We're still talking about Hamlet. And 00:14:14.970 --> 00:14:16.610 they're making shows based on it, like Sons of 00:14:16.610 --> 00:14:18.470 Anarchy, which I just looked up, and that is 00:14:18.470 --> 00:14:20.850 the case. So you think about that play at the 00:14:20.850 --> 00:14:24.730 end there. So his dad, who died, is his ghost 00:14:24.730 --> 00:14:28.009 in the first season of Sons of Anarchy. He is 00:14:28.009 --> 00:14:31.929 the prince. He dies in the end. He's the king. 00:14:31.929 --> 00:14:35.529 He's his stepfather. He's Ron Perlman. The queen 00:14:35.529 --> 00:14:39.549 dies. Does she die? No, she doesn't die on the 00:14:39.549 --> 00:14:41.879 TV show. He said it's based on it. Like it's 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:43.620 loosely based on. Yeah, right. I was going to 00:14:43.620 --> 00:14:45.799 say because, yeah, the mother didn't betray her 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:49.519 children in there. And like the king's court, 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:55.720 the knights, like it's all, it's Hamlet. And 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:57.259 it's a story that. Well, I guess that wasn't 00:14:57.259 --> 00:14:59.539 Hamlet that we watched anyway. That was the making 00:14:59.539 --> 00:15:01.679 of Hamlet sort of thing. Well, that was the first 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:04.100 showing of Hamlet. Yeah. So you're probably right. 00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:05.980 That probably was based on it. We didn't watch 00:15:05.980 --> 00:15:08.019 Hamlet. We watched Hamnet. We watched Hamnet. 00:15:08.059 --> 00:15:10.679 So you're probably right. No, the. No, no, no. 00:15:10.700 --> 00:15:12.480 No, no, no. I'm agreeing with you. I'm like the 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:15.620 movie Hamlet or the story Hamlet probably does 00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:18.980 have that story in it. Yeah. I'm thinking of 00:15:18.980 --> 00:15:21.419 Hamlet. Oh, no. The movie we just watched is 00:15:21.419 --> 00:15:24.720 not. Not based. Exactly. There we go. The stage 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:27.399 play that was written. There we go. Yes. That's 00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:30.440 probably where I'm jumping off the deep end and 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:32.559 going, you're a fucking liar. You're a fucking 00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:38.600 liar. So this got 87 % from 336 critics on Rotten 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:43.740 Tomatoes. It's 7 .9 out of 10 on IMDb, and it 00:15:43.740 --> 00:15:47.480 is 4 .2 out of 5 stars on Letterboxd. So Letterboxd 00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:51.919 is more people, where that's the critic score. 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:56.159 It got a whole lot higher score, I think it was 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.919 93 % on Rotten Tomatoes, from people who have 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:03.659 watched it. I think it resonates with people. 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:06.919 Oh, 100%. I really think you should stop reading 00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:13.149 critics. I hate critics, man. I'm not going on 00:16:13.149 --> 00:16:15.470 any one thing. This is just a metric to kind 00:16:15.470 --> 00:16:18.730 of set a baseline and we're talking about how 00:16:18.730 --> 00:16:21.210 we feel about it. I honestly thought I was going 00:16:21.210 --> 00:16:25.129 to hate it. Not going to lie, I'll probably re 00:16:25.129 --> 00:16:28.669 -watch this. It was beautiful. The story was 00:16:28.669 --> 00:16:37.590 incredible. It made me change my mind about arthouse 00:16:37.590 --> 00:16:41.250 film. and that sort of thing. Like I was all 00:16:41.250 --> 00:16:43.570 for money just phoning this in. I'm like, I have 00:16:43.570 --> 00:16:46.610 to watch this, so I'm going to watch it. And 00:16:46.610 --> 00:16:53.009 then I could really focus and sort of – I could 00:16:53.009 --> 00:16:54.509 have stopped tattooing just to sit there and 00:16:54.509 --> 00:16:58.490 watch it. It was beautiful, well shot. Yeah, 00:16:58.590 --> 00:17:00.950 it was beautiful to look at. And some of the 00:17:00.950 --> 00:17:03.429 scenery in that forest where she kind of hung 00:17:03.429 --> 00:17:07.819 out a fair bit. Even – The way the roots hugged 00:17:07.819 --> 00:17:09.859 her when she was laying down in the fetal position, 00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:13.079 it was like she was in the womb and the sort 00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:14.740 of forest was hugging her and she was on the 00:17:14.740 --> 00:17:18.019 ground. It looked incredible. Even the funeral 00:17:18.019 --> 00:17:21.019 for the falcon. I didn't see that bit. You didn't 00:17:21.019 --> 00:17:23.819 see that bit? No. Okay, so you probably have 00:17:23.819 --> 00:17:25.700 to rewatch it because that was kind of like a. 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.519 Foreshadowing? Foreshadowing, yeah. It's foreshadowing 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:34.450 for Hamnet's demise and then you see. a falcon 00:17:34.450 --> 00:17:36.809 in the sky when he's coming home and he has to 00:17:36.809 --> 00:17:38.690 change horses over because you can't ride a horse 00:17:38.690 --> 00:17:42.569 all the way home because he'll kill it. Yeah, 00:17:42.769 --> 00:17:46.690 there is a lot of – it's probably well worth 00:17:46.690 --> 00:17:49.650 another watch if you weren't 100 % invested in 00:17:49.650 --> 00:17:53.930 it in the first place. Yeah. I think when you 00:17:53.930 --> 00:17:57.950 – when he's in the bed and he's talking to his 00:17:57.950 --> 00:18:01.750 sister and he's like, we can trick death. Oh, 00:18:01.869 --> 00:18:10.049 my. God. And that foreshadowing when they're 00:18:10.049 --> 00:18:13.150 dressed up as each other, when he first comes 00:18:13.150 --> 00:18:16.990 back home and he pretends that, oh, I couldn't 00:18:16.990 --> 00:18:19.309 tell which one was which, and then it happens 00:18:19.309 --> 00:18:23.890 again. Yeah. Yeah, I think it is pretty well 00:18:23.890 --> 00:18:25.769 crafted, this movie. I think it's great, man. 00:18:25.869 --> 00:18:27.349 I think it was really good. I'm going to give 00:18:27.349 --> 00:18:35.339 it a 3 .8. I'm going a solid four. Yeah. I thought 00:18:35.339 --> 00:18:38.779 this was, I thought it was beautiful. Yeah. Chloe's 00:18:38.779 --> 00:18:42.460 out. Mate, take a bow. This was really, really 00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:44.819 great. I haven't watched, no, I have watched 00:18:44.819 --> 00:18:48.740 three, no, not three billboards. Nomadland. I 00:18:48.740 --> 00:18:52.180 haven't watched Nomadland. Yeah. I really believe 00:18:52.180 --> 00:18:56.859 she needs to come back for the Eternals too. 00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:00.759 And someone needs to make that. I mean, I think. 00:19:01.069 --> 00:19:03.690 I don't think they could do an Eternals 2. I 00:19:03.690 --> 00:19:05.890 think Eternals need to show up in other movies. 00:19:06.210 --> 00:19:08.630 They don't need to be, doesn't need to be their 00:19:08.630 --> 00:19:11.170 own. I agree. That was an introductory movie. 00:19:11.230 --> 00:19:13.609 Yeah, I do agree with that. Yeah, and I think 00:19:13.609 --> 00:19:15.690 it was great. I thought it was good. I really 00:19:15.690 --> 00:19:17.930 did. I really thought it was good. But, yeah, 00:19:17.990 --> 00:19:20.109 this one, mate, really, really surprised me. 00:19:20.450 --> 00:19:24.890 Thank you. No worries. Next week we're going 00:19:24.890 --> 00:19:29.130 to check out Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. 00:19:29.899 --> 00:19:33.920 Sam Rockwell, sci -fi, maybe. We don't know. 00:19:34.019 --> 00:19:36.640 We don't know. But the trailer looks insane. 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:40.240 It does. It looks fun. And I'm always down for 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:45.119 quirky sci -fi. Insanity, same. But, yeah, so 00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.079 good luck, have fun, don't die. That's my choice. 00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.579 What a name for a movie. Great. Yeah, kind of 00:19:52.579 --> 00:19:54.259 one of the only notes I really had for this was 00:19:54.259 --> 00:19:56.539 I'm glad I didn't see this in the cinema. Yeah. 00:19:59.930 --> 00:20:01.950 Yeah. I'm glad I washed at the tattoo shop so 00:20:01.950 --> 00:20:05.210 I can stifle my tears. Yeah, no, I was at home 00:20:05.210 --> 00:20:09.609 and just constant tears. Yeah, that'll last. 00:20:11.670 --> 00:20:15.710 When his sister falls ill, the tears started 00:20:15.710 --> 00:20:17.589 then because I'm like, oh, now it's going to 00:20:17.589 --> 00:20:19.769 happen. But I didn't know it was going to happen. 00:20:20.009 --> 00:20:22.269 Oh, I knew it was going to happen because. The 00:20:22.269 --> 00:20:24.130 name of the movie. Well, I thought he might have 00:20:24.130 --> 00:20:25.970 saved the family. I thought he could have done 00:20:25.970 --> 00:20:29.730 some good things. But it wasn't. Hamlet dies. 00:20:30.549 --> 00:20:35.730 And it's sad as shit. And it made me feel things 00:20:35.730 --> 00:20:40.109 that I didn't think I wanted to feel. But, yeah. 00:20:40.329 --> 00:20:42.289 Thanks for joining us, guys, for another week 00:20:42.289 --> 00:20:46.210 in review. The movie was so heavy.

It's like his wife's name is 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:08.039 Agnes, but they pronounce it Agnes because they 00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:10.200 don't pronounce it with a hard G. Oh, right. 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:13.039 Agnes. Agnes, yeah. I was going to say something, 00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:16.140 but I'm not going to.
