Good Time - Climax/Connie’s Arrest
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- As the law finally closes in on Connie Nikas, we are left with an unforgettable barred portrait shot that truly encapsulates the best performance of this year in my opinion by Robert Pattinson.
The whole time I was watching the movie I thought Connie was going to get away with it. He seemed to have made all the right moves up until his arrest, but then it hit me that this is how life really is. Crooks hardly ever get away with their crimes, there’s a one or two day manhunt and then it’s over. They fuck up. Who was I to think they would win? Life is almost never like that. That’s what the stare in the back of the police car meant to me. This was the realist movie I’ve seen in a long time.
According to Wikipedia, the clearance rate for bank robberies is 60% (the highest of any crime), as the perpetrators are often caught within one to two days of the robbery. You have to be a genius to get in and out before the cops arrive (which they do _very_ quickly if you're in an urban area, plus most robberies are reported on as they're going on) without getting IDed by a witness or a CCTV camera. To Connie's credit, his scheme was pretty clever and he was able to exit the building before the police were called, but it didn't do him much good in the end. Even if you're a genius, the odds are stacked against you regardless of how well-prepared you are. _Good Time_ is nothing if not realistic.
Just like uncut gems. Theres no way those goons were gonna let howie win and have his happy ending. So even though he couldve paid arno back and then some in the end, the goons were like, "no, you don't get to win over a mil and just walk away after everything." And seeing him win was too much to take for Phil. So he just said fuck it and killed howie then he even killed the guy he worked for. In real life there are no storybook endings. Its a cold world and greed is what controls most people. So if it takes having to kill 2 people and cleaning out the jewelry store to not let howie win and walk away with his happy ending, then that's what he's gonna do. Its all about jealousy and greed. In the end loyalty to arno didn't matter, because if Phil couldn't win fairly, hes just gonna do what he has to do to win by saying fuck the rules and killing howie and arno then taking everything that was left to take. Realism. I love that about the Safdie brothers.
Κ ο μ ν η ν ό ς Not to mention, even if he got away with it in the first few days, he would probably get caught in the next month at the latest. Police would still be looking for him and he was bound to slip up.
But to be honest Connie is fucking smart, I was surprised with all his plans coming suddenly and how he has solution for every problem in the most stressful situations and he stayed cool, no panicking. He is definitely a smart criminal.
A little late to the party, but for me it was the slow reveal that he chugged a bunch of lsd (his eyes), before getting taken in. So in the end he wasn't even really planning on escaping.
He decided to have a good time as a vegetable and his brother will now be released and everything will be pinned on him.
Also as you realize that he's now a vegetable they cut to his brother drawing a connection between them and how Connie can connect with him now. And you get to realize that the last time he got see him was back when he left him in the mall.
It was a suicide in a sense.
Connie ruined a lot of people's lives including his brother. He tried so hard to help his brother but only caused more suffering.
Well...
It was honestly half and half.
Connie does care about Nick, don't get me wrong, but Connie is shown to have a record (manhunt news update) and had to keep walking Nick through the process just so the robbery went smooth (for the time being that is).
He justified to Nick reasons why he didn't need therapy (which he clearly needs), that their Grandmother is abusive (which she is shown NOT to be and that it's the other way around), and that they will get away from the city (which they clearly wouldn't in the long run realistically).
Connie cares about his brother, still, but he also uses him as a tool to get what he wants through manipulation on Nick's part, since Nick believes his brother is looking out for him when that's only half right and mainly is trying to influence him and hold it over his head.
In the end, Connie is looking out for himself. He is a sociopath, no doubt about it. Look at Corey and their 'relationship' as another example of that. It was only after Ray's death and his arrest did he finally get an iota of the ruination he has caused, and it was sparked by his brother's arrest.
the thing about it is that he doesn't really love his brother all that much, or really care about his overall well being. If he actually cared, he wouldn't have gotten in into a bank robbery or tried to get him out of "jail" because he's mentally handicapped, he's not in full control of actions or really know what he's doing for the most part.
If he really cared, he would have left his brother alone to actually care and well being with society's benefits, NOT drag him along this life of crime and vice.
@@Gadget-Walkmen I personally feel the same. He definately cares, but the fact he KNOWINGLY involved his clearly disabled brother in a BANK ROBBERY shows his true motives. He could've easily turned himself in and saved Nick from the horrendous beatings he took as part of a plea deal, but he still wanted the money.
He told Nick they were going to Virginia for hellsake, to live on a farm! In what reality would they REALLY make it far with the amount stolen for a farm?
He didn't just take advantage of his brother, he hustled him.
@@thawedantarctican2171 Well said. it's crazy to know there are REAL people this dumb and lack any real forward thinking in life.
@@thawedantarctican2171 The only decent thing he does in the end is take responsibility for Nick's involvement in the crime.
Rays falling scene was the definition of a climax in film. It had me shook till the end of the credits. Goes to show you don’t need loud explosions or heavy action to deliver a great film.
K Cuse I have a feeling you’d be just as dumb if you found urself in a clusterfuck like that, maybe dumber.
That was kinda an action scene
Oscar Maidana not “heavy action” this is anxiety action.
The thud... not seeing his fall and just hearing it was acary
The ending of Uncut Gems was a real shocker too.
So basically Connie was caught because the girl got interrogated and told them Connie wasn’t the security guard at adventure land so they tracked him down using the GPS on the security vehicle.
Wow! I didn't realize that was the truth!
or the security guard neighbor called the police that’s what i thought but yours sounds right
Or the security guard snitched
@@SDuce3 I think he was on acid and ray mentioned that he probably won’t remember that day
GroovyShroomyy they nearly drowned that security guard with LSD, he’s not coming back for awhile if ever.
This movie is perfect. I love how over the course of the night, Connie has sacrificed every ally he made, and it seems like all of that just hit him in the police car.
This comment sums up the movie the best
in the car he finally had time to reflect about his actions. He couldn’t think, he needed to act quickly everytime
Very cool interpretation. Adds even stronger of an element of tragedy now..
I think the scene in the car is meant for both the audience and Connie to ask themselves "Did you have a good time?"
I thought it was like, “I’m being arrested might as well have a good time” and then he decided to drink the acid
There is no redemption, he just lost the game he.was playing. Insane ending with real consequenses. Pure cinema, raw and unforgiving.
Yeah just brilliant.
Something I love about the slow zoom on Connie in the back of the car is that he looks like a dog in a cage. He said he knew he was a dog in a past life. The whole movie he's acting on instinct, he can't help who he is just as Nick can't help who he is.
Damn that's sick I never connected the dots like that before
That’s damn good sir 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@@gekyumeonfroy3102 thank u
Ths shot of Pattinson in the back of the police car will always stick with me for the rest of my life. Whenever i think of the words failure and regret i think of Connie staring through those police bars just after witnessing Rays death. Good Time. A perfect movie. Robert Pattinson deserved best actor
aristotle 2 you could just tell he realized everyone is better off without him
I saw this for the third time tonight, and thought about it. I don't think he really cared about Ray falling. The look on his face is the recognition that it could have easily been his brother falling out the window if he had chosen the right room at the hospital.
I don’t know how intentional it was, but I love of the bars obscure his eyes. Knowing everything that he’s gone through and the fact that he lost the battle that he was fighting, all you want to do is look at his eyes to try to get some idea of what he’s feeling. It creates, to me at least, this feeling of disorientation. Which is no doubt what he was feeling.
The Nightmare That doesn’t make any sense because the only reason why they end up at the apartment is because they fucked over the security guard when getting the acid. Had Connie actually broke Nick out instead of Ray, he would’ve never ended up at Adventureland.
Have you seen Requiem For A Dream? That shit hits hard has stuck with me since
I love how there is so much h screaming and yelling as the guy falls from the building and Robert Pattison is completely emotionless. Not a twitch of reaction. He is defeated. He does not care. He is his own falling man.
He is not defeated...he is a sociopath. He can not care.
He does react.
Why would he have to react to that dumbass messing up? I would've laughed cuz he really thought he could spiderman shit when he couldn't even climb a fence
This movie was insane. In 24 hours his brother was beaten severely, drugged up a guard, molested a minor and likely sent her to juvie and was responsible for someone's death.
Indirectly caused his death. That window thing was a pretty boneheaded decision. Connie literally took him out of the hospital while he was injured and probably on painkillers. Couldn’t he have just stayed in the apartment and played the “oh I was forced into it” card
@@garethecke1433 but none of that would’ve happened if he didn’t get him out of the hospital
@@garethecke1433 If Ray would've tried, they would've ran an ID on him at the scene after arresting Connie and found out that he had violated his parole, since I'm certain there were witnesses at the arcade when their idiot friend came from robbing a radioshack with the cash, to which cops would or would try to implicate him possibly in, coupled with the fact that they were selling drugs and cops were said to have been parked outside his house when talking to his mom on the phone...yeah gonna have to say that wouldn't work.
@@SDuce3 thats molestation of a minor....
@@SDuce3 Chris Hansen would like u 2 take a seat
When you realise you’re the villain in your own narrative
yesss
Facts
That's when he knew he "fucked up"....
Exactly!!!
I got chills by this comment cause is so true. Ps: Favourite movie ever
A true NYC film. Not the countless set in NY, these are real lower class NYC characters. The film is praised for many things, but I think people forget that you don’t get real NY movies like this anymore.
One thing this scene does beautifully is switch perspectives - you don’t notice it as you’re watching it right away since you’re so immersed in the story, but you watch Connie’s arrest from Ray above, and you see Ray’s fall (and assumed death) from down below. Most other films would’ve tried to heighten the tension by keeping the camera on the action, but this film packs a way more powerful punch by letting the audience experience it as a spectator
This movie has this perspective all the time. Like when Ray, Connie and the girl travel through the city, the camera follow them as a helicopter recording the hunt, like in some police tv shows.
Oh dude he's dead he fell really high up
@@Fontenelle2307 man this whole company is filed with unexpected moments watch every film from A24 they make very underrated hits
@@black_ninja6067 stop giving so much credit to a production company.
Of course he’s dead
Glad to see my gta character is doing well
Lol, they both have quite GTA-esque fates actually!
Looks like Ray did not survive the longest fall challenge.
I hope if GTA 6 is set within modern day, it can take cues from this film and also the protagonist being very similar to Connie Nikas.
Safdie bros are the only people I'd trust to make a gta screen adaptation.
Pattinson should've got an Oscar for this final scene alone. Bloody brilliant.
Umm..... hes just looking straight hows that oscar worthy?
@@kcoose5356 it's more than just looking straight. His eyes and intensity summarise his actions and intentions throughout the film. He knows he fucked up and you can feel it through that cold stare
@@kcoose5356 you clearly havent seen the movie
@@TheBestCommenterEVER smh i did see the movie. and i cant wait to see uncut gems. Robert is an awesome actor , and the lighthouse was amazing but im just saying, its not hard to star at the screen. No intensity. hes had that derp suprised lookin face since twilight lolol
Diego Pisfil and i would’ve replaced Denzel with Ryan Gosling for BR2049
Oneohtrix really killed it with the soundtrack too
The Eccojams guy did the soundtrack? This movie just keeps getting better.
High Vangelis vibes
This is The moment Connie (how cool is that none is calling him R. Pattinson, but Connie cause they only see The character) realizes all The pain he has done. The black guard, The black chick, his girlfriend, Even his own brother.
Honestly his look to me says.. I aint out yet. Denial. Alot of people label him a sociopath. manipulative but hes just a bad hand. His relationship with his brother the smallest little action he does are over looked. The risk he takes. Hes part rapid dog part protector. Doing anything if need be for his brother. Why was his brother forced to go to those sessions. Why was they living with there grandma. Why did they both not like her. Connie has the typical survivors personality. He dies bad as a means to a end bit also he enjoys it he like his superiority he thinks highly of himself his wits his schemes. But i dont think that all he is we only saw him as a dickhead he was likely a brother first seeing as he never abandon his brother. His relationships seemed off until things were set off. Bad influence. Whos to say connie did it for the money when he gave it all away. The scheme revolved around his brother. So that face at the end to me is denial he wont give up. Lifes kept handing him a bad hand and he makes it better only to make things worse but what else can you do with a bad hand.
Could he have done otherwise? It seemed like he was always taking action and trying to seize every opportunity. But he cause Mayhem wherever he went
Connie ultimately accomplished keeping his brother safe at the cost of putting himself in prison where he belongs.
It's no stretch of the imagination that Connie has no friends. He is a shit person who roped his disabled brother into a world of trouble, along with everybody else he dragged out, stretched thin, manipulated, assaulted and even (in a way) killed.
That shot in the back of the police car is Connie realizing how much pain he has caused, and realizing that he should be locked away from everyone because he knows now just how bad of a person he is. He's the bad ingredient. So off screen, he pleaded guilty to all of his crimes, and also made sure his brother is properly taken care of.
Which brings us to his brothers therapist explaining, "what your brother did was a very good thing".
Commence ending credits music, and the tears stream down my face like a motherfucker lmao
"the black, the black". Black this,black that.

Pattinson's haters don't have a clue what they are missing! This guy is incredible!
Imagine hating a dude for a series he was in a decade ago.
ikr
I don’t think anybody hates him as an actor.
now his role in the batman, insane.
@@amp4105 hands down the best Batman
It cant just be me thinking this but that scream that the lady does at 2:10 is one of the most surreal and haunting screams I've ever heard in my life. The safdie brothers did a phenomenal job with this film and I'm absolutely stoked to see uncut gems.
well what were your thoughts on uncut gems
It lowkey reminded me of the infamous goat scream from 2013 lmao
Reminds me of shock videos I’ve seen, can’t get them out your head
Toni Collette gave the most blood-curdling screams I’ve ever heard in a film in Hereditary.
Excellent comment. People don’t understand, I’ve actually seen death and jumps like this in real life. This is accurate to the T. These directors and A24 truly delivers that realness. I love this seen because the screams and the boom were waaaay more impactful than any gore. And I love me some gore on shrooms. (Yeah I know I’m weird I watched this shit on shrooms don’t care watched Victoria right after😂)
The actual ending with his brother in that mental place was extremely powerful but I don't think the writers understood that most people would simply not understand it but man it hit me hard brilliant movie
I kinda took the ending to mean that the whole time nick was better off without his brother. He was never going to be in trouble for the robbery, he was going to get the care he needed and be taken away from his manipulative older brother. Connie only wanted to break him out to save his own skin, because his brother was a loose end from the robbery and could turn on him.
I think the ending goes back to one very quick line at the beginning of the film where Connie says "You think you're like them?" when Nick spots a retarded guy.
Because of Connie's manipulation and love for his brother, nick believes that he shouldn't be there and doesn't think anything is wrong with him. So Nick is spending the rest of his life going to these classes, but he'll be thinking about Connie as he's the only person who wouldn't let him do stuff like that.
The way the scene is presented also feels like it's patronising these people by treating them like idiots. Compare how Connie treated Nick at the beginning (even if it was manipulation) to how the woman in the class treated all of them, there's a huge difference. I'd say it's commentary, but i'm not smart enough mentally or politically to really confirm that for myself.
No matter how you look at it, it's an extremely powerful ending and the safdie brothers are incredible.
@@YellowToothedSpaz I saw it differently. Connie had been manipulating Nick and Nick actually thought Connie was right and refused to give him up to the cops, saying he'd take him to a farm or something
But in the end, when the teacher asks the questions "do you not get along with your family members" and "have you been blamed for something that is not your fault", Nick actually agrees and accepts Connie was wrong and realises he was a bad influence.
@@neroangelo736 Huh I always thought that he meant his nan (grandma) or mum when he agreed, I never even considered Connie, but that is satisfying to know he finally realised.
I like how in the end you see him next to the sign that says director. Lol cause he is one of the directors. Great Easter egg Incredible movie
Future cult classic for sure
Definitely the kind of movie that'll be huge later on
The Pulp Fiction of the 2010’s
damn right
@@kjrollings agreed
KadeTheNerd it’s more the Reservoir Dogs and Uncut Gems is the Pulp Fiction because Pulp Fiction was critically acclaimed and not really considered a cult classic.
“Look ahead at a clear sky, ain’t gonna get there, but it’s a nice dream. It’s a nice dream.”
let there be lamp perfectly reflects Connie.
The damned always act from love...
I just love how we get an aerial view of Connie's arrest, in a way it shows his anxiety, he knows he is going to get caught, he feels so small, and he keeps going through a sort of maze but ends up hitting a dead end, in a way reflects his arc through the movie, he keeps running but in the end he hits himself on the fence, in a way showing us that his mistake(s) led him to get caught, he was a dead man walking.
The stare into the camera at the end is terrifying. Connie finally realizes all he did was for essentially nothing, and that he hurt so many people while trying to do a decent thing.
I kind of hate how A24 put all their money on Lady Bird and The Disaster Artist during awards season, because Good Time got horribly overlooked. At the very least the film deserved Best Score, Editing and Best Actor nominations.
I'm hoping Pattinson and the Safdie Bros. work together again soon. Hell, I think a sequel while maybe not necessary isn't completely impossible.
Emi Grant well it got overlooked over here in the US during Oscar season but the film cleaned up at Cannes especially for best score and standing ovation
I know, man, and rightfully so.
No more fucking sequels please...
Sequel is not needed for this film. It is fine as a one shot story.
Oscars are pointless. I guess some people like the national recognition, but beyond the financial benefit to the crew it’s pointless
2:23 His utterly dead look haunts me every time. The only actual moral thing Connie did the entire movie was try to bail his brother out of jail (and even that had his own arguably selfish reasons mixed in with it) and after all the shit he put himself through as well as everyone else who met him, he failed in the end. It was realistically his last chance of being able to see his brother at least one more time and he completely blew it.
Yes. His look....just makes me just.....yeah
He did open the juice and hold it up to the old lady's mouth to drink in the hospital bed. The only redeeming act of fleeting kindness.
I love that that slow zoom is a culmination of him realizing that he could have turned himself in at any point and none of this would’ve happened and that the last 24 hours he only made things worse for himself. It’s his realization that he’s right where he belongs.
Fascinating character that’s definitely sociopathic and manipulative but you still manage to find something endearing about him. Hat’s off to Pattinson
Frank Anderson who the fuck is Jim
That's what struck me most about him: he is consistently shown to have a criminal's antisocial traits (manipulative and breaks law without second thought) but it's depicted in such an earnest, realistic manner that you never see in movies.
Gmanawesomeness I meant to to type ‘him’. I’m a boob
@@xxczerxx fuck I'm so glad somebody else pointed this out. You're spot on, it's a depiction of antisocial people in the real world. Not these blatant, blood thirsty monsters
This movie was such a ride man, such relatable characters, the dude who fell at the end is a replica of so many people i used to know in high school
I love how rays just this random guy who gets introduced halfway through the film yet he’s so memorable
That's why I loved this movie. It reminded of Tarantino's pulp fiction. Random elements thrown into the protagonist's plotline yet it all makes for great entertainment
Such an amazing film. I watched it at 3 am thinking it would put me to sleep, but I ended up immersed like never before. What a masterful deliverence on Pattinson's behalf. He should have been given more props for this role
Seriously after Good Time and Uncut Gems, the Safdies gotta do a GTA movie.
It would be pointless to do a GTA movie because you couldn't capture the essence of the game (which is based in a massive sandbox world where you do tons of random activities as well as a separate narrative) even in a 3 hour movie
@@xxczerxx could be. But the hardest part to adapt it is the overall message. Can't believe Rockstar actually approached them at a Chicago press screening for Good Time.
Pulp fiction is how a GTA film should be

"I think I was a dog in my previous life.. infact I know I was... that's why they love me so much" -Connie
2:18 now look at him in this scene as a stray dog who was caught.
Connie took the wrong guy out of the hospital... and indirectly lead to his death. I feel like Connie is thinking of what the person said to him earlier "I should be laying in a bed somewhere" (hospital bed)... but because of Connie's actions. He is now dead. I think Connie is reflecting this and realizing his handicapped brother was probably better off without him.
I like how you think.
I don't necessarily agree but I like your take.
@@balloonfiesta15 he easily gave up 10k for his brother and still working for more and risk his life so he can save his brother.
He was a dog in his previous life. He was Thomas Winslow.
Holographic Marlon Brando exactly all he cared about was helping his brother and now he thinks he can’t do that his life has no purpose the only thing he would be thinking is how do I get out! He reminds me a lot of Gatsby from the great Gatsby in that I think the message of the film is if you base your life on achieving a goal you hurt those around you and if you can’t get it your life is over, uncut gems follows Gatsby a bit more with Howard’s goal being that he wanted money and power but that more touched on how the chase never ends and how that hurts those around you
That slow zoom is so good.
Rob doesn't even say a word here and still gives one of the most powerful performances I have ever seen, to say Robert Pattinson isn't a good actor is just a lie. Connie isn't a good person, but through out this whole film he didn't even realize it until they put him in the back of that car.
I know I am stating the obvious, but it is just so insane to see how Connie was just so unaware of the fact that he was a despicable sociopath, I love this film!
2:30 we realize Connie is the bad guy. Connie relishes/feeds off the dependency that his brother has towards him because it makes him feel better. Hence why when his brother attains some level of personal growth in seeing the specialist (Peter) he immediately interrupts it and drags his brother back into his destructive lifestyle. His argument with Ray about dependency, superiority and 'fuck ups' gives you everything you need to know about his character and was a genius way of doing so
What if Connie is the good guy? He and his brother are now physically and psychologicaly trapped in our system. Connie just wanted to escape.
@UpAndDown yeah but it doesn't really hit home intill he gets chased by the cops at the end with the top down helicopter like view. Well, for me at least, because I always knew he was the bad guy whose a compelling but it doesn't fully sink to realize that, "oh shit, this is guy is just scumbag who you really shouldn't be around."
@@nikreim3726
*SPOILERS*
Nick isn't trapped either way by our system if you really think about it, but Connie is.
Connie is a sociopathic small-time crook. He knew what he was doing. Being 'trapped' as you say is his own doing. He could've found another way of doing things, but he didn't.
i realized he was the bad guy the second he kissed that girl
@@zarkflappysheep exactly, I was rooting for him until that exact moment and was against him. I only hoped that his brother would be free and he'd end up in prison. I'm really surprised people realise at this moment that "he's" the bad guy
The creative choice to kill off Rays character in the way that they did was so great because of its inner meaning. When we first meet Ray in the film we learn about how he nearly died by falling out of a moving vehicle. He survives, and when given a second chance at life he abuses the opportunity he’s been given by going back to his regular old criminal ways, which lead him to the same exact scenario as before, but instead of falling out of a car he falls off a tall building and doesn’t get a third chance.
He was chasing that high, living life on edge
To be real after the car incident he was basically held against his will and had to do everything Connie wanted, bro had no options the more he got to know Connie, he was stuck with him and his problems, just like he has done to his brother and everyone else in the movie. People seem to look past the ability and power Connie had because he was using it for all the wrong reasons.
Reading the trivia and untold backstory on connie really makes the whole film much more interesting and helps you understand why Connie does what he does.
Where do you read this
John Doe it’s on the fan wiki page on Connie
@@jelob6783 Thank you.
where dude?
two kids that grew up in a bad neighborhood without their parents. connie was always the big boy of the family. his grandma was old and didn't do anything to make matters better. connie has an obligation to take care of his loved one. that's why he tells others that they are fuck ups, leaching of mommy and daddy etc. but in the end, he realizes, he, was the bad guy. so good.
No matter how hard he tried everything Connie touched ended up falling apart in the end. That’s tragic
One of the best endings to a movie in recent years
0:30 at this point in the movie my whole body felt like it was shot up with speed. Thinking of all his close-calls, near death experiences, and off the cuff amateur successful plays; this clusterfuck of emotions pushed me to the edge of my seat seeing him run from the cops like that, i kept digging my nails into my sweaty palms and clenching my teeth.
I’ve yet to see another movie that just immaculately nails every aspect of fear, anxiety, and horror up to this mark involving:
an unstable yet ominous anxiety driven tension ambient, and riveting frenetic energy that really nails it with a climactic crescendo like this, 0:26 at this point I can only imagine Connie has his eyes on that wide open gate (paving the way to his self prophetic mythological dreams of freedom and his brother hopefully) yet he is chased back and circled around into a gated corner like the stubborn yet lovable dog he identifies as earlier on in the film. It’s a personally familiar feeling and expression at the end that Pattinson flawlessly evokes throughout despite the countless lives he’s previously ruined and more. Was it worth the white knuckling experience? yes.
I agree.
Rob is the man. Knows how to act.
Oh boy this movie is a gem
Thats our new batman ladies and gentleman and ya know what....im okay with it 👍

Connie took a sip of the acid so when he started to run away from the police he could run seemingly run forever as when ray told him his quick backstory he mentioned doing that, this is why he looks so startled and out of it before and when he gets in the police car
Just saw this movie last week. I love it so much.
This movie is a constant panic attack
why till you see uncut gems
Saw this movie yesterday.
What a gem.
The scene of Connie in the backseat of the police car was kind of beautiful.
I guess he was right about being a dog in his previous life,.
God what a haunting, transcendently beautiful moment, that lingering shot of Connie's face in the cop car. You can tell that he's having a major eye-opening moment, a life-altering moment, a major pivot point in his perception, an existential epiphany. It's like all the suppressed stuff, all the stuff he tried to dodge and ignore about his own faults, it all comes welling up from the depths in some kind of cosmic operatic grandeur of painful understanding (thanks in no small part to the sublime score by OPN). Connie has nowhere left to run or hide, he's forced to sit and really THINK and SEE. He is seeing the Big Picture, some kind of higher truth about life. You can see the profound change happening within the character.
Ray falling off the building is one of the most haunting things I've seen in a movie. Looked and sounded so real.
Once i saw him on the ledge and remembered he couldn't even climb a fence without major pain... i was like well :/, good bye

Damn rest in peace Buddy
Best performance since Ledger's Joker imo, such complete character dedication.
I’m between The Dark Knight and Good Time, I personally would have to say Jake Gyllenhall in Nightcrawler. But this performance is great too
What about Joaquin Phoenix in Joker? I pretty much saw the character and not the actor in that film, he truly transformed himself in that. Also, Willem Dafoe in The Lighthouse? Eddie Redmanye in The Theory of Everything? Gary Oldman in The Darkest Hour? I mean you get where I am coming from... There is so many amazing performance since Heath Ledger's Legendary performance as The Joker, so its very hard to say this is the best performance since that. Its all subjective, but Pattinson indeed was Great in this.
Cap
I would say Joaquin in The Master, Michael Fassbender in Shame, Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler, Casey Affleck in Manchester By The Sea, RP in Good Time and Ethan Hawke in First Reformed.
Lmao
I feel like what Connie is thinking about in the back of the car is would he rather have been the one to fall off the building or be where he’s at now in the back of the cop car headed to prison. There’s almost a sense of jealousy at ray’s “escape” in his stare
RIP Buddy Duress 😔😔😔🙏🙏🙏
beautiful music going with one of the best close ups in a movie 🎥 thank you safdie bros
That dread feeling in when the camera is pointed at connie in the cop car is brilliance
I was completely shocked throughout the film. You receive countless clues that Connie is indeed a bad person but still you just want him to get a better life at the end
This scene is too real and deep, Rays death and then Connie in the car realizing what just happens and piecing it all together realizing his life is over. Its dark and just genius. This whole movie is genius and I can't really think of any other words to describe this film besides the word genius
One of the best shots of the year and in the movie. Love how long it zooms and just HOLDS and HOLDS on Pattinson's face. With the music and finally the cut to his brother. Can't wait to see Uncut Gems, the Safdie brothers have already made some amazing movies and are going to make something really special.
Love the music in this movie.
Crazy thing about Ray is that a similar situation really happened to Buddy Duress after he robbed a bank not too far from my apartment and tried escaping from police climbing down a pole from a subway elevated platform and he fell and hit his head and was in the hospital for 6 weeks. He's been in Rikers Island ever since December 2019.
The expression in his face is haunting
Seeing this film at 3 AM made it even better to me
This is the only movie that made me break down in tears at the end.
Uh how
@@vg4life
Uh because it's fucking sad as hell lol what you confused about?
I feel like all the action films and desensitization to violence dampened this scene but if you were immersed in this film and saw it like it was real life, it was insane first time. when I first saw it I had a panic attack seeing him fall only to watch Connie sit there and reflect on everything that just happened. crazy film.
Actually, seeing that guy fall like some kind of live-camera footage had way more of an impact than some stupid slo-mo shot of him going 'noooooo!' with a big blood splatter. It's like...disturbingly realistic.
Ray watched connie get arested from above, as he tripped trying to escape the maze in which he spiralled into,while connie watched ray from below as he tripped trying to walk on the edge from chasing that high, i think it really shows how the 2 characters we're polar opposites of one another in some regards but nontheless victims to their own bad decisions
Shit got real for Connie I think when he heard the thump from Ray falling. The whole movie he’s been reacting to everything happening to him trying to find a way out or a solution in his own world, in his head, but when he hears Ray screaming his final scream, he realizes there’s no way out anymore. He’s handcuffed and getting his head pushed into a cop car and everything he thought he might have been able to resolve comes to a halt and he starts taking everything. It’s all his fault. From his brother condition to rays death and everything in between. The look in his eyes are ones of that confronting ones demons. No more running fir Connie, he’s face to face with himself and he’s petrified at what he’s become.
The music in this film goes so well with everything
When you realise at the end of this scene these two both haven't slept or eaten or drank in like 24 hours at least.
Ray had some sliders from White Castle the night prior
A friend suggested it to me around three years ago, man I really regret the fact that I took too much to really watch it, what a movie.
I’m sold on Pattinson after watching this. My Batman.
He looks like a cyberpunk anime character.
With moustache
@@creator1094 cyberpunk characters have facial hairs. Sorry dude this is not japenese
@@yesiamwinningdad5024 what
this might be one of my favorite crime films ever.
This is literally done perfect. I cant even find words to describe how freakin good this scene is on top we also have daniel lopatin doing the sound track, that guy knows how to convay an emotion, that with the lighting in this movie alone is something beyond amazing. The acting is spot on and the story line is very very believable
Really wish someone would post the end credits scene on here, I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much for the ending of a movie I felt so bad
The safdie brothers are my new favorite movie directors. Can’t wait for their upcoming projects
Ray got want he wanted. He never went back to Jail
Ladies and Gents, our new Batman! Can’t wait til Friday!
I was so invested that I didn't realize it was the end until the cops got Connie. Such a great film, Rob Pattinson is easily becoming one of my favorite actors.
I’m from nyc, and watching this feels like it could’ve been me or any of the guys i grew up with, Such great acting.
I don’t think the look of regret is from indirectly killing Ray. I believe it’s from him reflecting on how destructive he is, and the harm he has and would’ve done to his brother. If you read Connies backstory, you also know this is the part when he realizes he was wrong in his belief.
I love movies like this that aren't afraid to end in unconventional ways.
He thinking about all them damn charges he’s boutta catch 🤣
When Connie is starring at the screen, it feels like watching Ray fall has finally made him realize that there are consequences to his actions.
Robert Pattinson looks like every cool manga character here
Rob is an amazing actor, he's underrated.
He's not even wide eyed because he's scared, man hadnt slept for days
This movie is 10/10
I was blown away the first time I saw this Masterpiece.
The way the bars Connie is facing in the back of the cop car eventually fade out as the camera zooms in feels like there’s really no way of trapping him in a way
The soundtrack of this movie is so fucking cool.
I almost cried
The directors actually wanted to MAKE something, and it shows. They did not wash and reuse like 90% of Hollywood.
Side note: I'm fine with Pattinson being Batman (he's shown he has range), but we need directors like this to make a new knight. Otherwise it is going to be more "let's get more big actors in the universe" shit.
@j mula nah you sound like a prick
kudos to robert he is awesome in this film
God damn this movie is so amazing n realistic. The music just adds the cherry on top
GOD such a good FUCKING movie
Really underrated movie and a great scene. I love how the music builds up.
I went into this movie with no spoilers, no trailers or nothing. I wanted to watch it before it got removed from Netflix, legit it gets removed tomorrow. This scene just left some sort of weird “finally this weird anxiety is over” until Ray fell which only solidified everything
One of the best movies ever made.
Sometimes its good something is not so mai stream.
Pattinson has worked well in searching for movie roles and filmakers that could expand and express his acting abbilities like cronenberg and the Safdie brothers. A lot of respect to this man because it was risky to his career too..
It payed off in the end, he’s about to become batman
