i think arnold looks good too especially for his age
spoilers
i think an actual good ending would be if deckard was the one dying, and his last wish was to see his daughter
the way the movie has it is out of nowhere K takes him to see his daughter, like "oh hey, don't you wanna meet your daughter?" "oh, i guess so"
the way the movie ends now has almost no impact for me
i thought the movie was good but not great like everyone is saying
so i don't agree with the people worshiping it and i don't agree with the people bashing it, unless they're just exaggerating how bad they thought it was to offset the praise
i assume half of the people are watching it for the first time, but if you watched it in 2004 you'd recall that garden state came out the same year. with the same distributor (fox searchlight), both movies are two sides of the same coin and kicked off a new wave of quirky indie comedies whose tradition was further solidified with little miss sunshine and juno.
i find the movie clever in that they pick out the stupidest details of life or create the most mundane/absurdist dialogue but make them true somehow. there are characters you can love and ones you can root against, each rich in their own way.
if you're looking for something to tear down, you'll find everything "wrong" with the film. but in doing so you miss out on a beautiful essence. if you can embrace what is typically considered "wrong" or "bad", the film becomes an experience that's a joy to revisit again and again. you could be drinking whole milk instead of 2%.
just follow your heart, that's what i do.
how i learned to stop worrying and vote for pedro.
i only know because i watched tombstone a few weeks before, and wyatt earp's wife was using it for migraines
then when i googled laudanum mother aronofsky, other people had thought/assumed it was laudanum
it could also just be some other mysterious substance but i understood it as a painkiller not anything deeper, except i guess it could represent like oxycontin or something like a legal opioid.
but laudanum has opium in it or is opium so it would make sense that she gets rid of it when she's pregnant, i dunno if you caught it but she throws it out right after she becomes pregnant, from what i recall
well i assumed the potion was laudanum, because it looked like it and had the effect of it
i liked it, it reminded me of watching dogville, holy motors, zero theorem, and cosmopolis
a man says not to worry that there is still a voice that you can hear, (he is quoting something javier bardem said for ed harris and michelle phieffer when their son died). she gets passed the man and sees that her baby has been cut up and when she looks back everyone is eating her baby. i assume this is supposed to be like the eucharist. anyway, i am probably leaving stuff out. i left out a lot before, many of the people wanted to take pieces of the house home with them, that's why she called the police. anyway, she finds the lighter from before. i forgot to mention along with the lighter, she also threw michelle pfieffer's sexy panties behind the washing machine, because she didn't like them. anyway, with the lighter, she makes her way down to a secret room she found before, which i forgot to mention. the blood dripping from where the son of ed harris was killed, led to a secret door, which she was able to break open in the basement. and there was a big tank down there and a tunnel, but she didn't go thru the tunnel. anyway she breaks open the tank of oil and uses the lighter to explode the whole house. there was dialogue between her and javier barden but i don't think i can recall it, except that she was upset and he was sorry and didn't think it was that bad or something like that. anyway after the this huge explosion, javier bardem is unharmed, jennifer lawrence is burned all over but still alive somehow, he carries her and lays her down and asks for her love, which he pulls out of her chest or stomach, and she turns to ash. her "love" is another crystal like from before. and everything starts over like the beginning the movie, he puts the crystal in a holder and laughs and the house comes back to life and then another girl wakes up but it's not jennifer lawrence.
i forgot to mention about a scene where jennifer lawrence is savagely beaten i think it's just after when they are eating her son.
as soon as she finishes reading it, his publicist calls and has loved the book, and she's confused because it seemed like he had just finished it that second.. and it was on a scroll. but i think that's just supposed to be some sort of absurdist humor. anyway all sorts of people come to worship him "the poet" i guess he writes poems. anyway they all have a huge party that is even crazier than the wake. and the movie gets really crazy. kristen wiig the publicist shows up, and is normal at first. but then as shit is getting crazier, she starts executing masked people with a shotgun. the police are there and start pepper spraying everyone wearing riot gear, and then eventually the army comes. then she says the baby is coming and javier bardem is able to get them into a room to be alone, i feel like it was the same study where he does his writing and where the crystal had broken. finally the baby is born and everyone outside is quiet. he finds that they brought her fruit and towels outside the door, and he gives them to her. and says the people just want to see the baby. but she wants them all to leave. he asks to hold his son, she says no. he asks several times and she keeps saying no. so he waits several days, where she tries to stay awake and living off of the fruit basket. and when she finally falls asleep he takes the baby to the crowd outside. she runs after him but is too late and the crowd has the baby and his passing him all around faster and faster until the baby's neck snaps. then she runs over to find out what happened.
then jennifer lawrence says, she's asked them to leave, but he says no they have no place to go. then the two sons come and are complaining about ed harris' will. i forget to say ed harris is dying and his story was that he wanted to meet javier bardem before he died. so the brothers are fighting each other and one is upset about the will because the money is being put in a trust where they all have to agree on what it's spent on. then they start fighting and "the bad son" picks up the door knob and kills the other, or pretty much kills him, he seems dead because he was hit in the head with it but apparently he was still alive, and they all left jennifer lawrence to go to the hospital and the other son ran away. i guess it is supposed to be like cain and abel. anyway, then they have a wake type event for the son at the house and lots of people come and basically trash the house. it ends up being as much a party as it was a somber event. i might be skipping over a lot but they finally get everyone to leave somehow, oh it's because they break the sink after she kept telling them to be careful with it and water is going everywhere. so they get everyone out, maybe that's like noah's ark type of thing. and then she's upset that he wants to have kids but won't fuck her. so then there is a sex scene, and when she wakes up in the morning and sees the sun she knows she's pregnant. then he is inspired to write his book or it actually seems like a short writing that fits on one piece of paper that is a scroll, i guess he's writing in pen on scrolls. he could have been hold several scrolls, but it seemed like the whole thing fit on one scroll but it could have been several. anyway he's holding what looked like one scroll, but it could have been more than one, and he says he finished his work or whatever she reads the scroll or scrolls and there is a scene of what i assume she is reading about and it's like them holding hands and the house and the green coming to life.
you see a burnt up house and then javier bardem puts a crystal in a thing, and then everyone comes back to life and jennifer lawrence comes to life out of the ashes is in the bed and wakes up and starts looking for him.
he is supposed to writing, but can't. she is remodeling the house, although it is as if she had rebuilt it already, and is continuing her work, rather than the thing that they showed in the beginning which was everything coming to life instantaneously. anyway ed harris comes and stays at the house, and jennifer lawrence doesn't want him to stay, but javier bardem does. she doesn't want him to smoke in the house and hides his lighter by pushing it behind the nightstand. in the middle of the night ed harris is vomitting shirtless and javier bardem is holding him and covers up some kind of wound. in the morning they act like they never happened, and she is confused. then michelle phieffer comes and it is ed harris' wife. and they both want to stay in the house. they find out that ed harris was lying when he said he just stumbled across the house because he thought it was a bed and breakfast, that he was actually an admirer of javier bardem's writing, and jennifer lawrence saw a picture of him in the luggage. soon the 2 sons of ed harris and michelle phieffer come looking for them and are angry about the will. oh before that they break javier bardem's crystal. and he becomes furious. jennifer lawrence kept trying to keep michelle phieffer out of the room but she kept going in, and then ed harris wanted to show her the crystal, which was apparently something he had wrote about in a previous book. anyway it's probably supposed to be symbolic of the apple in the tree of knowledge, but anyway they break the crystal and he yells for everyone to get out, and he gathers up the broken pieces and bloodies his hand squeezing the fragments. then he knocks off the door handle and boards up the room with nails, saying "they'll never get back in here"
something like "i am who i am"
i think it's from the bible and means he's god
