Gone Baby Gone

I really loved this movie--it felt complete in a way that most films don't, and I felt satisfied at the end. The first half moved quickly and really held my interest, and I loved the way that the actors weren't "movie-attractive" (at least apart from the leads). Some of them weren't attractive in any realm, movie or not. They looked like real people from a real city. I'm not a Ben Affleck fan as an actor, but I thought this was a really great job for a first time (I think?) director. The woman who played the crackhead sister was totally believable. It is rare that a movie has a moral message that's not dumbed down and oversimplified (Crash, anyone?). Casey Affleck was also good. I have no doubt that he wouldn't have been cast if not for his relation to the director, but he was decent as a kid who knew the neighborhood and knew who wouldn't talk to the cops. Also, it's rare that a movie about kidnapping doesn't feel exploitative and go for the cheap tearjerks, but Gone Baby Gone doesn't at all. The action sequences were very exciting--and this from a girl who hates action movies--and actually made me jump once or twice. I am stoked to check the book out of the library.

I have to defend CRASH for a second. It is simplified but I think something as complex as race relations has to be. What CRASH does is effectively lets you identify with a character and then show how another character doesn't understand them which has a domino effect. Is it overrated? A little but not much.

I do think it managed to steal an Oscar from BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.

have you watched any good made for tv movies latly? i'm totally into the really cheezy movies like that.

Meeg said...

You're right about CRASH. I think that movie really insulted the audience's intelligence, and I don't understand people who raved about it.

I've been trying to find the time to see Gone Baby Gone for awhile now. I got lucky and received passes to a sneak preview of Juno on Thursday, which also looks incredible.

Netflix is sooo much better than GOING to the store and buying or renting them. Netflix is my fav. thing right now.

DAS COWBOYS said...

and crash isnt my kind of movie.It is a bit to umm weird for me. Im a comedy kind of guy or action.

sami said...

really a new experience...

ejfleitz said...

The implication that _Crash_ was less than completely amazing and awesome is new to me. Oversimplified?! What movie did you watch?! The way it questions the viewer's assumptions and stereotypes, alternately fulfilling and breaking them, makes it into an intriguing and--yes, I will say it--COMPLEX film.

(BTW it was Brokeback Mountain that was overrated...too much media frenzy over a couple of guys kissing. The film kind of got lost in the hype.)

esco5725 said...

hey... this is a great blog. I have a must see movie for you, American Gangster. This is a great movie; Denzel Washington plays another astonishing role with the help of Russell Crowe. Ridley Scott, the director of Black Hawk Down does an excellent job at portraying Frank Lucas. Check out the movie... you will be impressed!

Hi, I have been by chance on your blog that I find very interesting, personally I don't look at a lot of tv because being a 'artist I don't have available a lot of time, however, since you like the films of the horror I recommend you to see l 'last film of the director Dario Argento that it goes out in these days in the Italian rooms.

I heard this movie was amazing..it was filmed in Boston, have you ever noticed that the last few big movies to hit the screen that were filmed in boston were big hits(i.e Mystic River, The Departed, and lets not forget my all time fav. Boondock Saints)

Just goes to show Boston is perfect at everything..lol j/k

I will have to see this movie though.

I so envy you! I had read the book by Lehane a while back, and loved it, and was slightly concerned that the movie would not live up to it - because the plot is pretty complex first, but also because a Hollywood treatment of the atmosphere would just completely ruin it. The movie is not perfect, but really respected the "spirit" of the book, and the choice of "actors that weren't movie-attractive" was really a good move. If you liked the movie, you should love the book... Happy reading!

I wanted to see "Gone Baby Gone" because it looked "un-hollywood". Maybe it has something to do with what you said about it not having ridiculously attractive leads...hmmm.

Side note: I was a big fan of "Rock of Love" and honestly have no idea why.....*whispering* but it was soooo good.

Admin said...

well guys.. u cant compare crash with this movie..
crash was something that goes down deep into the human behaviour in such a manner that you can relate yourself with the characters.. further, the direction of the movie was much better which did all the justice to the complex script of the movie..the end make u feel that the movie really had an impact on you!!
thats what entertainment is all about.

stressed FL said...

I was going to see one movie but instead saw a few today. That was after I had a steak. But Ive been feeling sick all day, must be my stress..Anything interesting happen in that one?

anastasia74 said...

Yes,I was very stressed also, that it left me sick in bed all day. Couldn't concentrate on the movie, since I have many decisions to make in my life. Sure I wish I had someone to talk to. Maybe I will find another movie that I can relate to.

I remember Salt Lake City is pretty this time of year. I was there 4 years ago for work.

stressed FL said...

Yeah its a pretty city, though i'd imagine a bit cold.. Do you remember the movie where the 2 of them were in the car... What'd he say to her? I always liked that scene. I'd say remember something like that. That would get me through crappy stuff.

Did you find the one you were looking for?

Oh and you asked before, yeah you can use any computer to log into like a netflix account, but I'd becareful of which computers you log into. You never know if people have viruses or like key loggers to steal info. Id keep only one computer I log into accounts from. Thats just me..

anastasia74 said...

In the movie,there were two lovers and she have to decide on one. The one lover says he loves her and wants to work things out even though he found out about the other. He told her he would forgive both if she gave him another chance. But her heart, if I rememeber correctly, was with the other, even though she knew the road to the lover would be hard and lonely and people would not agree. If I was in her shoes I don't know what I would have done. i would have been at a crossroad. What a choice to make! I remember what was said in the car. IMH!!

stressed FL said...

geeze heavy movie..
Did you find the one you were looking for or they didnt have it? Well if they didnt just keep looking youll find that one somewhere, right?
Me too!

anastasia74 said...

Was i looking for an answer? Refresh my memory?

anastasia74 said...

I think I figuered it out. The answeer is no. I haven't found the right only. People are pushing me toward one movie. But my heart would like to see a different one. Any suggestions?

I hope I am understanding you. The best was the scene in the movie where they were sitting on the rocks by a stream, listening to the water flow. That was the best scene in the movie. You could see how much they connected. It's nice to have that with someone, even though no one else understands.
Hope to cyas. FL

stressed FL said...

this is probably cheesy but what I really liked in that other movie was that guys apartment. I wonder how you get it to look like that??
I saw a really sweet movie called "Once". I highly recommend it! It's a story about a guy, a girl, and music. Find it! Rent it!
I know today is gonna stink. I've been soo outta it..stressed I guess

In the movie where was his apartment at? Did he stay in the same area? I can't remember.

Gotta go, looking for a place myself today. Boy! am I stressed and sick too. Thanks for the 411 on the movie. I will find it and rent it.

Nope in that movie the 3 guys stick together. Though they should have changed that. How goes the apartment search?

I need to zone out, I gotta find a good indy movie. Something sweet and something uplifting...

I miss something from my past. Made me sad today.
cyas A74

But the 3 guys should not have been together. So them separating in the end was probably a good thing. Did they go to ny?

I miss something from my past. sure wish I could talk.

Found something today, but scared.

A co-worker called me today and was asking about this movie. Turns out someone mentioned something and it kinda got him angry. Something about a question that was asked..?

Hang in there! Apartment hunting isnt easy. Just breathe and relax. You can make it through this!

Find that movie? "Once"

Yes i found the movie...might watch tonight.

Sometimes we need to buy time to think bout what we want..or sometimes we are just scared that the future might not turn out like we want. So we buy time.

Your co-worker might not be thinking clearly and wants to lash out.

stressed FL said...

I didnt get a chance to finish watching the whole thing. But where I left off it looks like he was going to be going back home.

Makes me sad to think that would be the case...

Did you see the whole thing? What do you think??

FL

anastasia74 said...

If he goes home then I think the girl had have to move on and stay..

I understand it's hard for her to be alone. I bet she doesn't want him to go..and she will be sad. Since she wants a life with him. I bet she understands that if he leaves he won't come back.

A friend told another friend they could be friends again. I am sure that made her happy.

That same friend said that if things were the same, maybe he could be friends with the other guy.

I wonder what will happen in the movie..need to watch it again. Or just tell me what happens.


Did he go back home soon in the movie.. or later?

Cyas

stressed FL said...

In the movie he leaves soon. Though he had to talk to his job.

Near the end of the movie he returns. But sometime has passed. He returns because he made a promise to the girl. He is sad that the girl had to move on but he understands. He tried his best but couldnt see it being healthy for everyone if he stayed.

I hope the girl understood his position. I hope the girl understood his decision.

Oh and she has something of his. It was material it was something else. He gets that back from her, someday...

How was the movie? "Once"
cute movie huh?
have a good day A74

stressed FL said...

sorry typing mistake..
"it wasn't material it was something else"

anastasia74 said...

The girl wants the the guy to wait on things. I am sure it is not easy for her. Her man wants her to give a try for 30days.

She doesn't know what to do. She doesn't want him to leave and will do anything for him to stay. She needs to know what says he means.

So what happens in the movie?

imh much.

anastasia74 said...

In the movie it seems her heart is broken... and can't decide. What is best for everyone.

stressed FL said...

this movie is very complicated..

I was only able to see a little bit more, but it looks like the guy is going to stay for the short term. To see how things turn out with his work. He won't make any decisions. He decided to move with his brother but not too far away.

This, I think, will put her mind at ease...even just for a bit?

Did you get to see "Once"???

I couldnt post earlier I was busy, sorry. How did it go??

ims too
gnight

anastasia74 said...

Yes i saw the movie. Was a great movie...a bit sad. I did like music too.

Kind of remind me of my own life. That was nice that he bought her a piano at the end.

Anyway, in the other movie she went to go talk to a friend on Friday. Maybe that person will help her. Her heart knows what she needs to do... but can't let her do it. Maybe out of fear of the future.

The other guy loves her and wants things the way they were. Not making it easy for her.

imh too...TOY
gnight FL

stressed FL said...

I saw another movie the other day. "Waitress" stars Keri Russell another really good movie.

I'm glad you liked "Once". Yeah it was really sad ending but kinda sweet though. The piano thing...

In that other movie the three friends ending up moving in together. It's gonna be tough, I know it. But otherwise the one guy will have to move pretty far away, if he was going to be alone. Money issues I guess...

But that one guy we were talking about he decided he won't make any decesions for the time being, just ride it out a bit. See what happens.

ttyl A74 Have a good day!

anastasia74 said...

I am glad he decided that. I bet that makes the girl happy.

I hope he understands how much that means to her. I bet she cares a lot about him. I will have to finish the movie..so see what happens.

Thanks. imh.

anastasia74 said...

You said the girl has something of yours. Does she have two things of yours or just one? Just curious.....

anastasia74 said...

Oh I forgot. I saw the movie Little Miss Sunshine tonight. Good movie.
The hotel reminds me of a place I went to with a friend of mine... what a nice time we had....

stressed FL said...

The girl has 2 things of mine.

Little Miss Sunshine was a good movie. Cute flick about that family.

Hows everything with you?
How has the apartment hunting been going?

Check out "Waitress" its a good movie about a girl who feels like theres nothing going for her until she learns shes pregnant.

Once happy guy did agree to something like that. The words you used were intense though. I don't think there was anything else that once happy guy could have said that wouldn't have made everyone else enraged.

In the movie the other guy asked if all this had to do with the once happy guy. He said he deserves a good and peaceful life. He obviously doesn't care about any one else's life. The once happy girl told him no and to not bring it up again.

In the movie her friend told him to be fair. The friend said whats over is over...deal with it.

To me it seems the other guy thinks the once happy guy will get some money or what was his. He seems very insecure. Maybe I am wrong. Oh well.

I don't see that happening in the movie. As far as talking, once the girl is not around someone it will be a little easier.
As far as eye to eye..will have to work out something..I don't know.

Sorry you have to be around someone you don't like today. I know what you mean about moving... will be doing that next weekend myself.

anastasia74 said...

i am glad your day wasn't too bad.

Don't work to hard tomorrow.
In the movie didn't the once happy guy had to go to work the next day.

imh toy:)

stressed FL said...

yeah in that movie he had work in the morning. If I remember correctly it was a meeting of some type.
Also his friend was asking about the streets around that neighborhood again. Seems odd being that the friend doesnt know locations yet. In that scene the once nice guy plays dumb. That was smart of him, I'm thinking.

cyas A74 have a good day

anastasia74 said...

Maybe the guy just wanted to know all the sreets around him. Who knows. They didn't say in the movie.
Anyway..know where you meeting is...be careful. Hope you have a good day too.

IMH2:)

anastasia74 said...

In the movie the other guy left town...I wonder if his plane crashed. I will have to watch the rest.

Anyway, I think the girl wondered what to do over the weekend. Maybe go to a relative or stay in town. Wants to be with the once happy guy but knows she can't:(

IMH TOYmuch FL

anastasia74 said...

Maybe in the movie the other guy didn't go where he said he was going...just a thought. Let me know if see differently.

Oh! the other movie I saw was Little Children with Kate Winslet and Patrick Wilson...dont recommend. Has different story lines not related to each other.

hope you have a good evening

imh fl

stressed FL said...

In the movie once happy guy ate dinner with the other guy. Left town my butt... There was a scene where he was driving his own truck. This is weird.
Also there was a small scene in the restaurant where the other guy asks the once happy guy, "where did you go after meeting". Once happy guy, by his reaction was taken back. Had to explain himself.
I like how the writers' are adding fake information. This is getting interesting. Everyone better watch what they say when they say it.. It nay get confusing unless they write it well.

gnight i maybe up late look for me on MS

In the movie, the other guy got angry again when his friend showed up. Slam the door and all. What a dramatic scene!!
Anyway, I am sure you will do good at your new job. Be confident, but not too confident. Remember someone is always there to help you.
Try to get some sleep. Will let you know how the move goes tomorrow.

Things were better today except in the evening. I know the girl and once happy guy can't have everything right away....just would be nice to have some one on one time. Hopefully one day. As the days go on, it gets harder. At least distance isn't a problem. Hope you have a good day tomorrow.
