>>79434085
yes, it's really a beautiful film

>>79433537
I'm pretty impressed that /tv/ seems to collectively like this one. Gives me hope for you guys.

>>79434168
Pretty much flawless really
Can't really imagine someone not liking it, or any reasons for them not to

>>79434168
One of the best this year no doubt. Too bad it's too understated to catch a wider audience, plus the whole "Casey might have stalked two women" thing. Probably one of my favourite portrayals of grief that I have ever seen on film.

>>79433605
PLEASE

>>79433757
It already gets posted on here all the time without being tagged. And it's not really a spoiler, just spoils a minor scene that has no impact on the rest of the movie.

Williams deserved the nomination 2bh, even if she was only in the movie for 5 minutes. She was actually believable in a way I've rarely seen women or even men acting in really emotional scenes

>>79434461
It's a brilliantly acted drama, there's not much plot to explain that you shouldn't just experience directly. It's about a man and how he deals with grief, present and past.

>>79433537
Oh boy it's a "Thread about an actual good movie gets ignored on the television and film board" episode.

Okay, here's a question? What did everyone think about the ending? Is it what you expected?

>>79433537
Give Manchester by the Sea all the statues please.

>>79434459
Manchester is an ugly shithole without even a river or another body of water, such as lakes or oceans.

If you ever find yourself there, leave.

>>79434459
Manchester by the sea is the name of the town itself
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester-by-the-Sea,_Massachusetts

>>79434579
It was a pleasant surprise, I was expecting something far more generic. Probably the best movie of 2016.

>They pitched it to the playwright, and director of You Can Count on Me and Margaret, with Damon ready to make his directorial debut, and Krasinski playing the brother who returns to Manchester to bury his older sibling.

this movie dodged many fucking bullets

>>79434579
I was yearning for some sort of closure but the fact that there was none might have made it even more powerful

Did Joe fuck Dr. Bettany?

>>79434579
This has been one of the most discussed movies on this board lately, get off your ego.

>>79434579

Better than I expected, although the kid telling him he wasn't going to go to college and visit him depressed the shit out of me. In retrospect I was able to see the hopeful aspects of the ending though

>>79434910

I only teared up a bit, but it really touched me.
Finished it 3 hours ago and have been thinking of little else.

>>79434824
This. I mean it can probably be either, it doesn't change the movie much, but i kind of wanted to know. They flirted though, and it was the way i interpreted the comment about Dr Bethany being, "good to him". But Anons here the other day didn't want a bar of it.

>>79434579
A lot more hopeful than i imagined, I can see lee getting some healing down the road but of course nowhere near enough to return to his former cheerful self.

>>79434921
>spoiler

The kid didn't say the second part, only the first part. He is a typical self-absorbed kid whose life is on the line at the moment and lee is an authority figure who is in charge of him so he tries to establish his position as strongly as he can from his powerless perspective. So basically they will visit each-other, the kid for now just wants another life for himself, and he still has like two years of highschool so he may as well decide on college.

ctrl+f'd through the script to see if I'd missed any other references to Jerry, Sue or Walt and found nothing.
Maybe on a second watch I'll pick some hints up.

Could just be that people don't want to be around him because he killed his kids. Or maybe as a result of his behaviour following the incident.

>>79436000
Why the fuck is it so weird seeing him in modern movies?

>>79435691
probably because he gives off a bad vibe and is very aggressive towards people

WHY IS CASEY SO DAMN CUTE

Modern? I always found his look completely unsettling, those big black eyes and the way he talks, his mannerisms. There's something off about the guy.

plebs... I'll spoiler it just today because it's San Valentines Day.

>>79433537
That scene where she tells him he doesn't have to lay down and die was probably the best acted scene of the year.

>>79435691
>>79435962
>>79436031
>>79436059

His ex-wife sort of explains this when she finally apologizes to him - she said horrible, unforgivable things to and about him. She likely said them to other people in town, so his reputation is pretty much shot. Even people who think he's innocent (the detective who later becomes a vice principal) view him with skepticism. Remember that the nephew's friends on the hockey team have to tell the coach that the stories about Lee are bullshit. A lot of people probably think he killed his family, or that he was a drunk who couldn't care either way. Lee's hostile attitude and soft spokenness probably don't help the situation.

Small town rumor mills are pretty horrific. I can only imagine what it's like for someone in his position.

>>79434432

She's just a cute, I love her face.

>>79436027
>saved your ass from Hitler.
good goyim

>>79433605
I'm glad I watched this before it grabbed /tv/'s attention, would've been pretty fucking mad to have this moment spoiled.

>>79436000
What was his deal? Was he also a former addict or was he just trying to keep Gretchen Mol under his thumb?

The one thing about the movie that was not believable to me was that the brother would marry such a fucked up woman in the first place. I mean, what exactly did he see in her?

>>79434432

That interaction between her and Affleck was just so good. The way you could just see Affleck's character internally breaking down when she says "I love you" was fucking amazing. I wish there was more of her in the movie.

>>79437577

That and when he punched the window made the audience gasp.

>>79438116

She fuck like crazy.

>>79434910
She was a fucking cunt though.

>that scene where he gets himself beat up after seeing his ex wife and then breaks down crying

felt bad man

>>79434910
>is he really doing this right now
>is he really [trying to deal with all the hassle that comes with arranging a funeral as speedy as possible]

This irked the shit out of me, glad he told Patty that that bitch couldn't come over anymore

>>79438135
I got the impression that she became an alcoholic to cope with the fact her husband could drop dead at any moment. She didn't come off as a drunk at the beginning of the film. Being an alcohol is a progressive thing it doesn't happen overnight.

>>79438266
Sometimes you just need a good cry anon. Go for it. But for you really wanna cry your ducking eyes out. Watch Gleason.

what was up with all the bitches who wanted his dick in the beginning of the movie?

>>79438923
Bitches get wet for guys who can fix shit.

>>79438923
Casey is an attractive looking guy. It's not surprising that women in bars want to fuck him

Aproximately 8 minutes of this movie is the kid texting on his phone.

>>79436031

I liked it but it was depressing and bleak. Just a sad bleak jaunt into alcoholism and dysfunction. I didnt need a nice reconciliation with him and the kid with a happy montage but it needed some closure. I also felt so bad for him and randi and so hoped they would get back together.

>>79439365

He literally stopped living after the incident, so he didn't upgrade shit from his life since then if he wasn't pushed to it.

Am I bad for laughing to most the movie? There is something about the dry performances, the editing, and writing that just works as a British dry comedy like In The Loop.

pretty obvious to me, since the beginning the kid's friend tell the couch "don't believe what they say about him", pretty sure after what happened everybody in the town thought he was a drunk who murdered his kids, pretty normal for a small town

>>79433537
I'm in the middle of watching this ... About 2/3 of way out, it got me thinking what would Is has happened if Ozu directed this material!?!?!?
