Meryl Streep is confirmed to play Hillary Clinton in a new biopic called Ladies Choice - releasing in 2026. So far the rumors are Alec Baldwin will play Trump.
Except Stephen pursued HER. So how exactly was he a victim? He knew what he was doing. He even lied to her about his family situation.
Why aren’t black filmmakers making more films like this? It’s seems we’re going in reverse and now it’s back to Octavia Spencer and Viola Davis playing sassy black maids and Tyler Perry making the entire black race look foolish. Even Jordan Peele and Kevin Hart aren’t helping. It’s too bad.
1997 also saw another Nia Long film- Soul Food - release later in 1997. It also depicted middle class black people dealing ordinary drama and it was wonderful. Especially the soundtrack and the acting by Long, Vivica A Fox and Vanessa Williams.
That’s not a unique story line though. We’ve seen unique people get closer to each other all the time - from riding the subway to work, or starring in a Vietnam movie.
And Paul Giamatti plays it to the balcony the entire time. He is not threatening or unique. Who wants to spend Xmas with a dork like him?? At least some of the guys were hot.
I watched the finale again. I loved it. Do you think his teacher accepted him/ was happy with the way he played the drums with so much passion and soul? Or do you think their relationship would continue to be back and forth? I always wondered what happened after that concert.
My only issue with Simmons other then his temper was that Andrew was able to help the band WIN his first big night on stage, earlier in the movie. I would have thought his colleagues would have respected him and that the teacher would have been nicer. But I do recall Simmons saying something like “nothing is worse then someone telling you Good job.”
Anyways it was a fascinating story for sure.
What’s really confusing is why his ex-girlfriend didn’t show up to witness HISTORY! I mean what a performance! Andrew even offered her pizza afterwards, but she had some lame excuse about asking her boyfriend first. What a stupid bitch she turned out to be.
You’re absolutely right - I am sorry I came off that way to you. I should have listened more instead of letting my emotions get the best of me.
I hear what you’re saying and sorry if I came off harsh.
I should not have done that. You make valid points and now I will rewatch the film and hopefully see it from a different perception.
I got hostile because this movie made me angry. I can’t believe a character like JK Simmons can even exist in the America we live in. He was a monster. He didn’t even apologise to Andrew - even after the kid got into a car crash at almost killed Jim. All Simmons wanted to do was talk about jazz music dying, and Bird, and drink.
Also Andrew’s band mates were also really cruel. Quiet, introverted and not very team friendly. I was shocked Andrew didn’t make any friends, considering how good he was on the drums. Everyone in the band either glares him down or downright ignored him. I saw them as cowards.
The look on the father’s face is horror because he knows his son is a genius!! A fucking genius! He plays those drums better then anything I’ve seen on film, and that includes The Doors. And you’re telling me that you think Andrew deserved his abuse ? You must come from an abusive household.
I don’t care how many fucking people you name drop that have assaulted their artists and been bullies. That doesn’t make it right! And it certainly doesn’t give you the right to come at me with hostility and dismissing my review. Andrew was a genius, and instead of celebrating his great abilities - the film wants to shit on them instead. He was so good his fingers were bleeding.
But I guess you like that Fight Club mentality. You’re so tough. Newsflash - it’s EASY to be a jerk in real life. It’s harder to be KIND.
Uhhh I don’t think so. If a real music teacher was smacking kids in the face for not playing their notes right, he would not only be fired - he would be thrown in prison.
Your username fits you well- Blindfolded eh?? Take it off so you can see how disgusting Simmons was. I would have taken my iPhone out and recorded him abusing students, then put it on Instagram. You need to realize how violence does not equate to successful people
- especially artists.
White people don’t hang out with black people!! Stop trying to force a world that doesn’t exist. Politically correct is not real life. Especially in Brooklyn.
You clearly didn’t watch the movie. It’s brilliant.
You shut up
You loser !!
We are so happy to be in Ontario! Looks like the USA is headed toward another government shut down. My wife actually bared an audible sigh of relief in the kitchen today when I told her what bullets we dodged by getting out of America.
And the republicans are ruining it all. Thank God I’m Canadian now.
We already have ! So save your sarcastic banter !
I am glad you spelled it out for me a little more. I def really liked Patricia Neal, and her performance is not a traditional best actress winner but she’s so natural that I believe her dialogue; it never felt feigned. I loved when she made peaches and ice cream for the family. And her quick witted nature was a breath of fresh air.
I just wish the story had showed us a little more action as the setting is perfectly tuned for some out of nowhere turbulence to make its way into our minds.
Newman, however, just seems to be overdoing it- but he was just like many method actors of his day- Hoffman, Brando, Pacino- but I liked those actors more then Newman. I guess it depends on taste.
Wokebusters? Are you seriously using that tired Generation Z phrase for a movie about ghosts???? Find some original things to speculate on and stop using that ridiculous word.
It’s so easy to kick people when they’re already down. How many of you have lived your lives perfectly? Especially on social media? Leave the woman alone. Let her eat in peace. And you’re lying if you haven’t been to Wendy’s before.
She won record of the Year at this years Grammy awards. It’s sad you don’t keep up with modern pop culture. Everyone knows who Lizzo is and that she won.
The movie was all hype and strictly an Oscar magnet. It will not age well. It’s a shame too- the Banshees of Insherin was the best film last year and it was robbed.
