    My favorite bit of trivia about this movie is that it was made with a lot of help from the Belgian government and Colin Farrell kept apologizing to everybody (locals, extras, etc) between takes because he felt really bad about his character constantly complaining and insulting Belgium and Bruges because in real life he thought it was awesome and he was having the greatest time both on an off set.

Great characters, great dialogue and a very dark, Irish sense of humour.

    The reason Bruges, Belgium is the setting and punchline of jokes is because it represents purgatory. It's a beautiful and historic place, with nothing to do. The characters are in a moral purgatory in that they're a little good and little evil due to their actions or character traits. That's the overall theme of the movie; and one of many reasons this movie is brilliant.

      It's the most perfect movie I can think of and Top 2 for me...every scene has reason that either builds up a later scene or resolves a previous one
      Like Ken being 10ct short of 5€, if the the guy at the counter wasn't so petty about it then Ken wouldn't have had any change on top of the tower and couldn't warn the people before he jumped.
      And it's impressive how McDonaugh was able to write such exceptional dialogue that can be absolutely hilarious while still feeling completely real...the "jokes" aren't forced in the slightest and not even intentional by the characters, it's just the dynamic these foreigners in Belgium have with each other that's hilarious for anyone who's not a part of it.
      Oh and not to mention how Colin Farrell absolutely slayed this role, imo clearly his best performance to date...the way he's sobbing in Ken's shoulder when they're at the playground came like a gut punch for how real it felt.
      The only movie I have the same love for is Lucky Number Slevin, which isn't as perfect but even more underrated...it also has great dialogue, plot, soundtrack, an all-star cast and arguably the best performance by the lead actor (Josh Hartnett). High recommendation for anyone who hasn't seen it

    Many people have mentioned that Martin McDonagh was a playwright before he was a screenwriter and director. Simone immediately picked up on the foreshadowing of Ken being in the tower and pretend shooting Ray and him climbing up, and George remembered the dumdums that ending up destroying Jimmy's head so that he can't be identified by Harry at the end, but there are other great little details in there as well. For instance, Ken only has the change that allows him to warn the civilians below because that stuffy clerk wouldn't take it when he tried to enter the tower. Also, the "Boschian nightmare" that the movie production is filming at the end, that's a reference to the same artist Hieronymus Bosch, whose painting of Judgment Day they're looking at in the museum. One detail you missed, though, was that Chloe doesn't actually work on the film set nor is she an actor. She just makes money dealing drugs to film crews.
    This was Colin Farrell's big return to form after he shot to stardom in bigger, mainstream things like Minority Report and S.W.A.T., and then his drug problem and subsequent recovery. He is good in many of his movies prior to this but I definitely think that this shows off the true depth of his talent, with his turns from rubbery-faced childishness to genuine sorrow over the death of the kid.
    Many people are going to recommend Martin's other movies, and I agree that The Banshees of Inisherin, which reunites McDonagh with Farrell and Gleeson and may even score Farrell a well-deserved Oscar, is a great movie, if brutally depressing (I had some real problems with Three Billboards, which I think have to do with McDonagh's relative lack of familiarity with middle America versus Ireland and the UK). But I also want to shine a light on McDonagh's brother John Michael, who has written and directed a couple of movies himself. The best of his films, which also stars Gleeson, is called The Guard, and if you liked this movie, I think you'll love that movie as well.

    • @tylerfoster6267
      @tylerfoster6267 Год назад +5

      I can't believe how completely wrong you are. John Michael's best film is actually Calvary... ;-)
      (I hope that comes across as a joke, apologies if the text takes too much of the tone away)
      Colin Farrell was maybe better in Phone Booth, but they are both tremendous performances. I think a difference though is his tonal shifts here are much less expected - that's not a bad thing, just that it maybe makes them stand out a bit more. I'm really looking forward to when I can see Banshees (just need to make the time when I'm not trying to do something else as the McDonagh brothers are worth paying attention to and not just background fodder like a lot of Disney Plus)

    The movie is very theater-like, same as McDonaghs most recent movie, Banshees of Inisherin. Much of In Bruges can be understood quite literally, like bruges being some form of purgatory, or hell even. Not only does Ray mention that over and over, it sometimes seems like it's what bothers him the most. He has also been sent there by his "Boss", his higher up, Harry, (who could represent god, the church, or some form of secular moralism or something entirely different or a mixture of these motives) after he killed an innocent child by accident.
    Ken on the other hand is a jesus-like figure. It's mentioned at least twice in the dialogue. The first time when Harry calls him Robert Powell from Jesus of Nazareth (who played as Jesus in the 1977 film) and the second time right after he sacrificed himself in order to save Ray. Rays final words to him are "Ken, Jesus".
    This religious-themed view also enriches the suicide theme: From a secular point of view it's just hilarious that Ken saves Ray from suicide while he's literally a split second away from murdering him himself. But from a religious point of view, suicide is the most atrocious act, and as Ken says to Harry, "it would not have solved Rays problems".
    All of these dialectical themes between different forms of morality (secular as in some form of legalism, religious, and possibly dogmatism of the church) can be found in almost all scenes and all the people Ken and Ray meet. Be it the early museum scene, or Chloe and her sins (aka selling drugs and robbing tourists) to which Ray immediately feels attracted to, the prostitutes, the pregnant owner of the hotel, and so on.
    There's a deleted scene that suggests Harry sent Ray and Ken to kill the priest out of capitalist motives. Considering they literally kill people for money there is a clear capitalist morality present in the story and some of it's characters. It's also not the murder of the priest he's been sent to bruges for, it's the murder of a child, innocent by nature, from a religious as well as from a secular point of view.
    There's also Rays constant complaining about being in bruges while at the same time being literally unable to escape it. Even when he tries to with the help of Ken, he gets pulled back in by, surprise, a representatives of (secular) law, a policeman.
    The most revealing line comes from him in the last scene, where he basically says all that out loud: "Maybe that's what hell is, an eternity spent in bruges."
    When viewing the movie this way, meaning as a story about guilt, moral and the collision of different views on these topics, we're not left with an open ending as in "did he survive or not" (which is not only unclear because we don't see him die, but mostly due to him intentionally mixing two tenses "I really hoped I wouldn't die"), because that is not the question that matters at all. By leaving the ending open, the movie directly asks the viewer what he or she thinks would be right. And considering we've been presented several concepts over the course of the movie (suicide, murder, forgiveness, redemption, secular law, letting the mother of the dead child decide, etc...) it forces us to reflect on not just our own spontaneous view of what we think would be right, but to rethink and discuss the ideas (re)presented in the movie and thus forcing us to question and structure our own morality. That's why the open ending is so ímportant. It passes the ball onto us, and forces us not to consume, but to really think and reflect about what we've just seen and what we think is right and why we think that way.
    There's just so much to uncover, it's unreal how good of a film this is. And it's what makes the film not just a brilliant dark comedy, but a masterpiece and one of my personal favorites of all time.

    Absolutely in my top ten films of all time and I'm so happy that you watched it. The amount of quotable dialogue in this film is off the charts. Watching Brendan & Colin again in "Banshees of Inishirin" took some adjustment since it's such a different film in tone and feel. Loved your reaction (as always)!

    It's a suppressor. There is no such thing as a "silencer" except in movies. It's sort of like earplugs, but placed at the source. So maybe 30db of suppression or a little more if the can is really long with well designed baffles. Not much different than a car muffler.
    If the cartridge is rather small and low on gas volume, it can get pretty quiet, such as with a .22LR pistol.
    With everything else, it merely prevents hearing damage. Large rifles produce about 130db, which would cause catastrophic hearing loss, so a good can reduces that to about the loudness of a good rock concert. For a 9mm autopistol, it is somewhere in between. Still quite loud enough to be very noticeable, but no hearing damage.

    You know, I tend to not make predictions about how you'll like a movie or a certain scene. But this movie had a lot of "this might just become one of Simone's favorite movies" vibe to it.
    McDonagh is also an award-winning playwright (and his short film, Six Shooter, won the Oscar for the best short film and is available on RUclips legally). The script in this one is just a masterclass in reincorporation: nothing is thrown away, every single thing has a purpose in the story, and so many things come back in various ways. I love the moral and emotional complexity of it that lifts it way above any other "funny assassins" movie.
    I just saw his newest one, The Banshees of Inisherin, this week. Very different from this one and I love it to bits.

  • @geody3001
    @geody3001 2 месяца назад +1

    This is one of my favorite movies. I have seen it several times. There are so many levels to it, so much irony and savory subtext. Bruges could be seen as purgatory, Harry as the devil, and Ken, who literally comes down from heaven to save Ray, as Christ. The costumed characters from the film set in the climax seem to be lifted from the Hieronymus Bosch painting, Hell, that Ray and Ken see in the museum. Some trivia, they are hiding in Bruges under assumed names. The names are the names of the two characters in a Harold Pinter play called The Dumbwaiter, in which two hitmen are waiting for an assignment only for one to find out his target is the other. When Marie gives Ken the phone message from Harry she calls him by one of the names and he says, "yes, no, yes." It's funny on one level because we know he is using an assumed name and has a moment of uncertainty about it, but when you know where the names came from it takes on a rich irony because he *doesn't know which one he is yet.* The movie is full of that kind of thing. Ken says, "I know I'm awake, but I feel like I'm in a dream," twice in the same conversation. Each time with layers of meaning, and each vastly different. It's fucking genius.

    Such great hysterical and clever writing. McDonagh is a very dark storyteller (his plays especially more so than his films, but even so), but a very intriguing one. Severn Psychopaths, his second film, is his most fun and light-hearted, despite hefty subjects matters.

    A few years ago we were in Ghent for a conference. Ghent is very like Bruge, old buildings and canals etc. I was extremely hungover on the morning we did the boat tour on the canals, and it had snowed heavily. I was figuratively like Colin Farrell's character sulking in the boat. I did recover and spent the remaining time looking for alcoves. Ghent is great, cool trams.

    You guys have to watch more Martin McDonagh films like Three Billboards with Sam Rockwell and Frances McDormand.

    One of my favourite movies which had one of the most misleading marketing campaigns ever. The studio felt it needed to sell it as an action flick. I remember seeing a DVD of it (when Blockbuster and stuff were still around) and the cover itself put me off watching it. Saw it couple years later. Love it. Regarding "the director must have hated Belgium" - I feel this is a love letter to Bruges.
