"I know people hate that movie but it's still impressive."

When the hell was this movie hated?

My iPad can be kind of annoying on those sites due to the pop ups, but yeah seems I’m gonna have to go that route it’s not on anything

Brooding and funny don't go together

Have you tries googling "In Bruges watch online (free)"?

I have heard this one recommended. I might check it out.

Suffice it to say interpretations/opinions don't impede someone's original vision or tamper with it, they exist independently of it. As art is not an objective field like science there's no "right" answer and thus the harm that's put out into the world when someone takes a Death of the Author stance is nil as I see it. And I don't think the theory does say the consumer has MORE say. Equal say more like. I wouldn't believe in it otherwise.

It's not the same as censorship because it's not altering anything whatsoever.

I don't see how your reply makes any sense

Vinnie Jones in the replica gun scene in Snatch.

I mean his performance was good. I just did not really care for the character he was playing

Heard many good things about this film from TIFF. It was interesting.

It's a standard typical character study portray about writer Emily Brontë with gorgeous camerawork, costumes and a strong lead performance from Emma Mackey. Bronte who wrote Wuthering Heights has an interesting background and the film does a decent job exploring her personality and background. The camerawork is beautiful, the uses of soundtrack was good, and the colors although certain moments felt too dark; felt purposeful to it's setting. Mackey's performance as the lead character was great alongside with Fionn Whitehead and Alexandra Dowling as Whitehead and Dowling had great moments together. The other performances from the cast were alright but felt kind of underacted at times.

The narrative is pretty standard and the standard structure does make certain moments feel too slow as it made the movie a bit boring. The direction from Frances O'Connor is decent although a bit uneven. The characters of Emily and her brother Branwell were the most interesting parts as anytime the two are on screen, there is great chemistry and atmosphere together. While the other characters were unfortunately were kind of dull and not as interesting.

Overall, the film still holds strong with a strong lead performance, camerawork and pretty good written dialogue that was interesting to listen. The mask scene was brilliantly executed.

It’s the fact that she uses the money she makes to donate and push anti trans legislation and talking points. Keeping her a household name is actively working against us.

To you it’s a fun story, to marginalized communities it’s her source of income to fuel attacks against us. So sure, you’re allowed to read and enjoy Harry Potter. Just don’t call yourself an ally. Ally requires cooperation and working towards a goal set by the community.

I do like the idea, but unlike my belief in Death of the Author, I think the culture itself gets the final say. If more people become lax on "outsiders" taking their own meaning that does or doesn't align with their own, that would be pretty wonderful. But it's not the consensus at this time and I understand why.

Thought-provoking reply though.

It's probably telling that my first reaction to this was "what movie is this?". I don't even recall seeing it being advertised in Australia.

But did I?

“To me this is profoundly limiting and I’d be ashamed if as a creative I hampered people’s imaginations and value they derive from my work just because my fragile ego demands it.”

Why does someone else’s imagination have power over another’s work? That work has been produced and established. And you believe, out of some idea of righteous subservience, that the creator should have no say once the statue is struck from the marble? It wasn’t a collaborative effort.

The artist created something. The artist knows what went into the work and why the curves and lines interact the way they do. To say that they have no say once the final stroke is struck is to disenfranchise them. “Death of the Author” is a theory that assets control over the creative by the non-creative. It says the consumer should have more say than the creator because the consumer consumes. I think a big reason so much storytelling sucks these days is because of academia pushing bullshit like “Death of the Author”.

“ Censorship has nothing to do with the theory. “

I don’t know how to break it to you but you are arguing from the censors position. A censor will say that they have the right to change and interpret a work as they see fit because the government/business gives them that power. You are just arguing from the position of a “fan” that wants the same power for different reasons.

A lot of us genuinely believe the reaction to the stories, and, more recently, the game have gone way overboard. It's fine to make the personal choice to boycott something, but don't shame others for enjoying a fantasy story.

I realize, to most of the people I'm talking about, the viewpoints of others matter very little, anyway. But, just know, the rest of us feel the same about you.

Does anyone know if it’s currently on any streaming services? I’ve been wanting to rewatch this for a while especially after rewatching Lobster and Banshees.

I think the story is generally pretty good in the first 6 movies, if you can ignore the gore (not as good as the first 2 though). 7 and Jigsaw both sucked ass.

I grew up and that took the magic out of it for me, lol.

I've seen a lot of these period piece Victorian era romance films...and this is probably the most cinematic of them all.

This movie just oozed style and it honestly caught me off guard. From the incredible cinematography, down to the editing, this feels bold & slick.

That Mask scene is one I'll never forget.

Nice semantics. It is a dark comedy. It is brooding and dark and also quite funny and poignant. I thought that’s what you asked for?
