    I liked it until the end. It didn't need the montage explaining how Oliver orchestrated everything, since it was obvious he was behind it all. Plus, I didn't understand his motives. Was he in love with Felix and felt spurned or really just a sociopath who planned an elaborate take down of a rich family for no reason whatsoeverl. He states that he hated Felix, buy why? Because he was rich and popular? I don't know. But, it was stylish and darkly funny.

      Who cares if it was stylish and funny. The story didn’t matter. Rich family gets taken down by someone who was born different. Only thing crazy is the 4 shock factors that were simply just shock factors. Bunch of rich people who show signs of deep secretive things but in reality they have no depth to them. Bunch of nerds in the movie that just slurp cum up. Idc if you’re an acting you’re weird🤣🤣

      For me it very much needed to have that ending where it explicitly explained his devious actions otherwise it just didn’t click together at all. Throughout most of the film it just didn’t add up to me that this kid who was seemingly very naive and innocent just randomly became predatory in certain scenes and then childlike in others, it felt odd, unrealistic and clumsy. His innocent demeanour was too convincing. Ultimately this was sucker punch to the wealthy and privileged in the UK. Oliver was jealous and obsessed with the family’s wealth, he simultaneously fell in love and hatred of Felix, he hated the fact that he desired them and their lifestyle.

      Oliver narrated that it was embarrassing people just gravitate/shower attention to Felix. There is no need for a reason. Some people just want to destroy other people.
      In his care, he found Felix interesting. Like a shiny object. He wants to be near it. Examine it. Peck at it.

    After reading about Emerald Fennell's family and adolescence as the child of a British jewelry magnate and student of Oxford - essentially the Catton family in this film - it comes across as a rich kid's attempt to steal from better artists, with the haughty assuredness that the glitz, polish, and shock-imagery applied to the purloined story will negate the public's awareness of obvious laziness.
    M. Night Shyamalan, Rachel Lee Cook, Angela Lansbury, and Bong Joon-ho should file a class action suit. 😂😂

    Those scenes aren't just shock for the sake of shock. Would you rather somebody just talk about Oliver and how depraved he is or actually show his depravity on screen? Imagine just just cutting those scense out of the film, then tell me you feel the same way about Oliver.

      An interesting story would be nice; the lack thereof makes the more violent scenes seem exploitative and unnecessary because they aren't helping to tell the story as there wasn't any. It seems like an un-smart person's idea of smart people, very lazily pretentious.

  • @Missjunebugfreak
    @Missjunebugfreak 10 месяцев назад +11

    Have many mixed feelings about this film. On the one hand, the cinematography is impeccable, plus Barry Keoghan and Rosamund Pike give standout performances. On the other, the storytelling and main character motivation fell flat for me and the 3rd act felt poorly conceived. Emmerald Fennell seems far more interested in creating scenes with shock value & flashy style than actual strong storytelling. It's just not for me. 🤷🏾‍♀️

  • @RainbowKidd
    @RainbowKidd 10 месяцев назад +3

    The movie had great potential, but is unfortunately very shallow. Not even any inkling as to why Oliver is the way that he is, unless I missed it. What is his motivation? They introduced us to his mother and father, but it provided no context at all. Just silly.

    To me, this movie represents the dark triad of psychopathy, narcissism, and machiavellianism. All three aspects are characterized by manipulation and selfishness, but the main characters in the story manifest all sides of the triad. While Oliver seems much more pernicious than the others, none of these are "good" people.
    Felix: Narcissism - Entitled, perceived superiority, grandiosity,
    Farleigh: Psychopathy - Impulsive, emotionally cold, remorseless, antisocial.
    Oliver: Machiavellianism - Ends always justify the means, willing to ruthlessly deceive others to get what they want, deeply cynical.

    Just saw this. A really captivating, interesting movie. A bit like 'Talented Mr. Ripley' if written by Evelin Waugh. The movie actually is self-referential and cognisant it IS Brideshead + Mr. Ripley.
    So many extremely funny things in the movie as well like Mulligan's 'Poor Dear Pamela' (she is credited 'Poor Dear Pamela' in the credits🤣) And Elspeth quipping 'I was a lesbian for a while, you know, but it was all a bit too wet for me in the end. Men are so lovely and dry.' - was this written by Jennifer Saunders lol
    The last third and especially last 10 minutes fell flat for me.

    I enjoyed Saltburn although the third act did fall short. Nice cinematography and wonderful acting.
    Oliver wasn't from a poor family but certainly wasn't in the same league as Felix's titled family I disagree Oliver conned his way into Oxford. Oliver's parents stated to Felix that Oliver always excelled academically and wanted more than his upbringing provided.
    Some of the shock value scenes didn't add any value whatsoever to the film. Overall quite enjoyable and worth a second watch.

    • @AdamDoesMovies
      @AdamDoesMovies  10 месяцев назад +1

      Oliver's parents didn't know Oliver though. That's what makes me think he conned his way in. He probably conned his way through high school and everything else in his life. Either way, it made for a fun watch!

    too many contrivances, coincidences and reliance on characters doing exactly as planned for his “scheme” to have worked out. And yes, the bath water c*m slurpin’, period blood eatin’ and wet grave f*ckin were just obnoxious, attention seeking scenes for shock value. Lame, desperate movie.

    "Something For Everyone," "Dangerous Liaisons," and "The Talented Mr. Ripley" tossed in a blender. Derivative and predictable, for sure, yet I really enjoyed it and will probably watch it again just for the enjoyment of watching how the plot was set-up and for some of the amusing dialogue.

  • @jochenstossberg5427

    I went in hoping to be offended, shocked, and appalled - so I was disappointed when I wasn't. It's funny though, and interesting enough, but it steals way too much from Brideshead Revisited, Ripley and Something For Everyone. I enjoyed it though. Rosamund Pike and Richard E. Grant steal the film.

    This movie is flawed, but Barry Keoghan's character and performance is the reason I loved the movie. NOT FOR ONE SINGLE SECOND WAS I BORED. Most movies are boring due to slavish adherance to formula. This movie is the cinematic equivalent of gleefully dancing naked after dispatching all your enemies.

      You knew that he had calculated his parasitical agenda from the beginning? Really? You could tell that from the moment Felix had a puncture In his tyre? I don’t think it was clear at all, you were always guessing, something was awry of course but it was not obvious he was being devious from beginning, his obsession with Felix was genuine and also his ability to act naive and innocent was too convincing so it was always very ambiguous for me. The only reason it felt like it could pan out the way it did was because there were too many similarities to Talented Mr Ripley.

    I was so excited about this movie but I was very disappointed. The ending is exactly what I expected it to be, even from the trailers. I don’t know why people are saying this film is a masterpiece & that it had so many twists and turns. I guess the movie had twists but they all led to the same very predictable & obvious ending, which is boring. People compare this film to The Talented Mr. Ripley which I do not understand AT ALL. What made that movie so good is that the audience never knew what Tom Ripley was going to do next or how far he would go. Oliver’s motives in Saltburn are predictable and they really don’t make sense, in my opinion. Oliver isn’t poor or lower class. We see that he comes from a wealthy background too, so his only motivation for vengeance is because Felix ignored him sometimes……….until he didn’t and invited Oliver to spend the summer with his family. Unlike in the talented Mr. Ripley, Tom is actually extremely poor & has to work multiple jobs just to survive to the next day. Tom idolizes the rich but he also hates and is offended by their easy & carefree lifestyle that wasn’t earned and taken for granted. Also it’s very clear that Tom Ripley is romantically attracted to Dickie and most of Tom’s attraction to Dickie, comes from Dickie’s wealthy and lavish lifestyle. So Tom’s actions towards Dickie Greenleaf make sense.
    But again what was Oliver’s motivation for all of this? Yes he inherited money but he was already wealthy so why does that matter??? However, I liked the cinematography and the acting.

    • @rebeccaeritano6724
      @rebeccaeritano6724 10 месяцев назад

      Oliver wasn't wealthy nor was he poor. Clearly, his parents'home was middle class. Oliver's father said his mom had cooked all day, so they didn't have servants to care for them and their home. Certainly, Oliver's family were not titled nor were they members of the aristocracy. Also, his parents confirmed he always excelled academically and received scholarships.
