>>85647157
On the brink of global disaster he made it his mission to save the whole by sacrificing the few. You have shit morals if you can't agree with this logical decision. If it were any other way Japan would be a wasteland today after decades of ground combat.

>>85646926

Bombodillo is dependant on others protecting his surroundings. Tolkien wrote about him later:

>if you have, as it were taken a ‘vow of poverty’, renounced control, and take your delight in things themselves without reference to yourself, watching, observing, and to some extent knowing, then the question of the rights and wrongs of power and control might become utterly meaningless to you, and the means of power quite valueless.

>It is a natural pacifist view, which always arises in the mind when there is a war ... the view of Rivendell seems to be that it is an excellent thing to have represented, but that there are in fact things with which it cannot cope; and upon which its existence nonetheless depends. Ultimately only the victory of the West will allow Bombadil to continue, or even to survive. Nothing would be left for him in the world of Sauron.

Only reason why this fight triggers me is the fact that Tony could kill them them both if he wanted to. Just fucking fly away (One of his propellers was failing but the other one can work just fin) and send one of those small but explosive missiles I'm sure you still have left

Concerns about Japanese resistance were vastly overblown, and the Japanese government was already ready to surrender but was waiting for something other than "unconditional", the bombs were a fuck you the soviets because the US didn't would have otherwise lost almost 100% of Asia to "communists"

>>85646786
Yeah, in fiction, you really only have two ways to create a tense scene that's planned out by the characters: you either leave the explanation off-screen and let the tension build by the audience not knowing what's planned to happen next. Or you explain the plan, and then the tension is built by the plan breaking down, either by someone fucking up or an unplanned-for element entering the scene and the tension rises form "How are they going to get out of this?"

>Rivals join forces to defeat the bigger bad guy

>Character 1 is holding an important object to character 2
>Character 2 spends the whole time trying to retrieve said object, but he's an ally to Character 1
>At the end Character 2 lets Character 1 keep the object

>Trio of main characters, 1 male who is the protagonist, the other 2 male and female
>The other 2 fall in love

My favorite is always the normal human that's life is war does badass shit even against godly types.

Similar to the child molester detective in Man of Steel.

Happens in books I read a lot too. Like the Malazan books and The Black Company. Normal non-magical guys fuck you up because it's what they do for a living and humans are predatory.

also this type of woman is the cure to my yellow fever

>hero is being physically or mentally tortured/interrogated by the villain
>starts laughing hysterically after villain tells him something horrible

A narrative where the protagonist(s) sacrifices himself in order to complete the mission and save many more.

Ex: 300, Halo Reach, Inglourious Basterds to some extent, and many more

It's kinda lame but I'm a sucker for it

>>85647983

I wished Tom Hardy's character would've flown his plane into that last StuKa instead of peacefully landing on the beach.

>>85646786
I wonder if it's ever been done but as things go wrong the narration stops aligning with the events on screen, in a non-comic way. So the viewer can actually see how much more fucked things are becoming by the minute

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Nolan
>Christopher Edward Nolan[1] (/ˈnoʊlən/; born 30 July 1970)[2] is an English-American film director, producer, and screenwriter.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prestige_(film)
>The Prestige is a 2006 British-American mystery thriller film directed by Christopher Nolan, from a screenplay adapted by Nolan and his brother Jonathan from Christopher Priest's 1995 novel of the same name.
>The writing process was a long collaboration between the Nolan brothers, occurring intermittently over a period of five years.[14] In the script, the Nolans emphasized the magic of the story through the dramatic narrative, playing down the visual depiction of stage magic. The three-act screenplay was deliberately structured around the three elements of the film's illusion: the pledge, the turn, and the prestige. "It took a long time to figure out how to achieve cinematic versions of the very literary devices that drive the intrigue of the story," Christopher Nolan told Variety: "The shifting points of view, the idea of journals within journals and stories within stories. Finding the cinematic equivalents of those literary devices was very complex."

That's because it's an allegory about the return of Lord Jesus.

The scene from LotR's Helm's Deep is one of those. The men are losing a battle to the brown horde and then on the 3rd day a bright light appears in the east and countless angels come and slaughter them.

they would have surrendered there and then, and wanted to, but the USA's pushed it to unconditional surrender as they specified they would when they declared war on the Axis powers.

>Sympathetic bad guy
I love this trope. And it doesn't mean that the bad guy is right, just that you can see where he's coming from, even if you strongly disagree with him.

Even despot dictators don't sit down and cackle about their dastardly plans and how they foiled the day. They legit believe that the ends justify the means.

>Bad guy that is proven to be smarter than the good guy
I probably just like this one because it's a change from the usual "good guy is always right" stuff.

Like with capeshit for example, it's hard to ever feel the threat when you already know that the good guy will win, and that in the end they were morally and intellectually better than generic bad guy #3219

I think of Se7en for a positive example of this. John Doe is shown to be one step ahead of the detectives the whole time at the end, and he ultimately wins his game, and gets exactly what he wants.

It's not necessarily an edgy "bad guy wins", it's more that when a movie actually kind of admits that maybe the good guy doesn't always have to be the smartest guy in the room.

I've seen that but only in comedy.
The way the narration in True Detective season 1 is done, with them re-telling what happened because the original files got destroyed, and you watch it in flashback. But as the story progresses, the narration and the flashbacks match up less and less is kind of a similar idea.

That's kind of the point of the movie though, isn't it? You're supposed to make up your own mind as to whether his was the right plan.

God, 70's-80's buddy cop movies are so comfy. I think what I love the most about them is that sort of casual relationship between the cops and the criminals. There were these guys who got busted for small stuff all the time, but it wasn't really a biggies since it was just a couple of weeks in jail. While the main bad guy was a complete psycho or an unfeeling monster, the rest of society's dregs were usually still portrayed as human.
