The Brutalist thoughts

[Deleted member 75952]

I don't think this is the flawless masterpiece everyone is saying this is. The movie completely falls apart in the final third.
Also, the whole homosexual rape scene just feels thrown in for shock value.

PS I actually liked having an intermission. It was nice having the chance to use the bathroom and walk around.

PS2 I found it weird that they set up Adrian Brody having something wrong with his genitals, but never answered it.

its not shock value, it's just a heavy handed metaphor for how capitalism literally exploits artists to such an extent, it's there so that everyone can literally understand the themes that are expressed in the previous 2 hours.

i can understand that people don't like some things there, because corbet is simply not as good a writer as for example paul thomas anderson, but it is perhaps the only film from last year that essentially works as a film and pushes a narrative with images and sound and not that two people sit at a table and explain the exposition in a shot, a counter shot plus a rather mischievous ending which makes the viewer think.

Yes, but what exactly is it about, what is the action?

Most of the movie follows Laszlo’s life in America. In the second act, the attention focuses on an architectural project that Van Buren order Laszlo to do. Some people die from the difficulty that it takes to make the project, therefore the project is canceled. This makes Laszlo angry and starts going on a spiral of drugs and indirectly abusing his wife
