And how bout the coincidence of a judges car being stolen and then it being used in a hit and run and then that same judge presiding over a case involving everyone in his stolen car case!!!!???!??!? It’s ABSURD!
Seriously!!!! And you mean to tell me a damn judge is able to rule in a case that has ties to his own car being stolen?????!!!! Talk about a major plot hole.
I found that to be frustrating as hell!!! Even Adam fails to ever mention it to his father! Like what’s up with that??? Can someone please explain.
Every single man of the entire village except the one drunk guy? That’s a lot of men to go post bail isn’t it?!? Why were they hiding their meetings then? Just from the one drunk man?
(Don’t read this if you haven’t watched yet- Spoiler alerts!!!) I was wondering - how was it possible for all of them to gather so freely that morning with absolutely no men coming out to even see what was happening? It was like a 5 mile long caravan of women and children and not a man in sight. Even to just witness what was happening. How was that even possible?
Couldn’t agree more
Totally forced. How many waitresses do you know being chased by a famous music producer only to rebuff him at every opportunity? We’re to believe this producer has time to chase an unknown around because she’s just so talented? Maybe if any of her music were actually good or her singing was or SOMETHING, only it isn’t. It’s preposterously bad writing. And the songs by The Six are atrocious: “You put the dial in the tone” are you kidding me?
I’ve been watching it. It looked like it was going to be a fun watch, but thus far I’m sorely disappointed. I’m a huge fan of Riley Kehough, or I was, until this. She completely sucks the energy out of every scene she’s in. Her smug know it all grins make me wanna puke. We’re led to believe she’s such a talent that the worlds hottest music producer is just begging her to make an album with him as she keeps turning him down to sling hash at the greasy diner. I’d rather be a 50 cent an hour waitress than allow my music to be shaped by this world famous producer. Okay. How pathetic.
It is!!!
I just finished watching the film. I found it to be bizarrely trite, predictable and badly executed on a variety of levels. I will say there were a few microscopic glimpses of something deep occurring only to be sucked away by more meaningless, repetitive and unnecessary dialogue again. With all the Oscar hype and “intellectual” buzz around this film I was expecting something thought provoking or moving. It was pathetic! Actually LAUGHABLE! It’s over inflated sense of importance and pretentiousness made me sick. The list at the end… hahahaha Women need stars and straw and wind and numbers and buckets and ….. wtf ?!??!! That was so sick for me. Really? This is intelligent writing?
Yes, I definitely agree. I totally think the voodoo practitioner AND Al Pacino’s devil were BOTH helping to propel that spell over the court room. Yup, I felt like all evil was being buoyed by Pacino’s character in some way.
Yes, I def agree with both of you guys regarding the judges unrealistic behavior in the courtroom scene. Crazy that he would say “good god man!” when the attorney is over there unable to speak due to an uncontrollable coughing fit. Lol. It actually made me laugh a little at how absurd it was. Yes, def unrealistic.. that’s why I personally chalked it up to the fact that the voodoo curse effected every one on some level. It’s a stretch, I guess, but one has to fill in those blanks that way so we can attempt to just go with the movie as we want to. It’s a campy enough of a movie that a scene like that wasn’t so incongruous overall, you know what I mean? While this movie is campy and an over the top sort of ride, it also manages to lay down a lot of sharp commentary on society.
Love is beyond biochemistry. It’s beyond everything. It’s the only thing that can defeat evil and the devil so of course he’s going to argue it’s over-rated. Love is his one true enemy.
Because the term “crack” is just a street name, or slang term, for that particular type of cocaine. The subtitleist for this film was diligent in pointing this out by using “quotes” around the word, thus indicating the word’s slang nature.
The knife wielding passenger WAS completely in shock when Al Pacino’s character laid all that information on him. He was completely and utterly freaked out. His buddy had to direct him off the train, he could barely walk. His eyeballs widened like saucers and he was left nearly speechless except to whisper things like “How do you know this? Who are you? No, not Carlo. No it can’t be” or whatever he says there to that effect.
🤷🏼♀️
Not an answer to your query exactly (I don’t think?) but a slight honing in of the detail in this case…It was the defendants voodoo curse with the severed tongue and nails that disabled the prosecutor from speaking freely in the court room. Surrealism’s sake. As in- we would allow this behavior in a courtroom in this context b/c even the judge in the scene isn’t acting realistically. The voodoo spell is on that man’s “tongue” metaphorically and no one will “hear” him no matter what he does.
