This movie is based.

They should've had a Wilhelm scream
>>80668246
what did he mean by this?
>>80668246
Reading the book at the moment, pure depression-core, can't help but love Bruce though. I saw the film first and the ending scene is so powerful

i still watch it from time to time, when the song creep hits, the shiver runs down your spine
I've never been to scotland but have a lot of scottish blood and for some reason this movie resonated with me deeply
maybe gene memory is a thing
>>80668644
maybe you're just a cuck
>>80668698
perhaps. same thing with limmys show etc though. there's something about scottish culture I just instantly get without ever being exposed to it
>>80668644
gene memory is a thing
Phobias are passed down genetically for example.
>>80668744
what, the highly depressing nature of it all?
I started watching this the other day but had to leave maybe 10-15 minutes in due to something coming up and I never got back to watching it. Seemed interesting enough, is it actually any good?
>>80670213
Yes, it really is, would strongly recommend
>>80668644
Scotland is perhaps the whitest culture in the world. Take that as you will.
>>80668246
Not to be that guy, but the book is way better. Way more dark and depressing, but also funny, at least until the last 100 pages.
They left a lot of stuff out of the movie.

agreed 100%, but the film was probably the best adaptation they could do considering some of the other content and how easily the "twist" could have been worked out early on retaining certain information from the source, like changing the foreigner's ethnicity for example, or the shit with the worm(s)
mcavoy's best performance imo, remember reading he went to see it in a theater himself and was happy to see people disgusted enough to get up and leave before it was over, imagine if they had adapted some of the really bad shit, like his visits to the farm
>>80670917
It's a while since I saw it, but did they even include anything about his real father, brother or cripple gf? I mean his childhood is kinda the reason he is who he is. He becomes a way more tragic character once everything unravels.
I think the farm thing is a deleted scene, possibly on Youtube, but it's played for laughs.

there are some super quick flashbacks near the end, but nothing that would make any sense to anyone that hadn't read the novel, nothing that would cause the viewer to make connections
that's really the only thing i didn't like about the film; once you delve into his past and see why he's turned out the way he has, everything makes sense, right down to his disdain toward anything blackbecause coal is black, etc.the childhood stuff in the book is where it really became top-tier for me and made his character extremely sympathetici re-read the book once a year around christmas, probably my favorite literature with that holiday in the background
