Michael fassbender and David fincher upcoming movie "The killer"
- Thread starter Max.
- Start date
Enjoyed this one
Yeah its clear..on how the character was from the beginning towards the end......those talking about the taxi guy
The movie deconstructs his whole mantra. Every time he repeats it, it's like he does the opposite. Empathy is the enemy, as he builds more and more empathy.
That is that point.
He is no longer the stone cold killer. Maybe even before he takes the first shot and kills the dominatrix.
He starts as the few but becomes the many.
But his eye twitches at the end.

You should've felt that way. That scene was there to show us the MC is not a good guy and later its serves as a parallel to what happens to The Client. Some people can get away with shyt because they are important, powerful and it's a pain in the ass to deal with them, those are "the few". When it comes to "the many" they can be dealt with easily and no one will care or make a fuzz about it.

The people he killed were those who knew his location. He didn't kill the guy he tied up at the taxi headquarters.

That's the point though. Dude is a psycopath that thought he had everything figured out. Then one day things don't work out like they are supposed and his mantras and methods have to be used for something else besides his job. In turn, we see how dude doesn't have shyt figured out and has to come up with different ways to erase the threat (temporarily?) to his and his girl's life.
I think he never though he safe house was in danger because he never thought he'd screw up a job. Again, dude thought he had everything mapped out and he learns he really didn't.

It’s crazy to think that the guy who took the crown from Michael Mann in terms of the crime/action genre directed Jermaine Stewart’s video “you don’t have to take your clothes off”

Again, so glad I saw this in theaters, and took the whole day to see it in Westwood, and not watch on Netflix
The first 20 minutes or so was mesmerizing, even if I had read enough, maybe too much, to know what was going to happen. The narration, the music, the tension, the way Fincher saw and directed Paris in the morning, reminded me of being there and wandering the streets to get coffee. The color scheme, of the way the light looked, the way he shot that apartment at night. When How Soon Is Now comes on, that was the best 3 minutes sequence I have seen all year, no question. That was sit up in your seat and stare good. I only even know The Smiths from TV show montages and a Saint Laurent T Shirt, but that was some of the best use of music I have seen in years.
The tension between that song playing, and him trying to find his shot, find his right heart rate, and the cuts to his headphones playing was excellent. The fall out maybe even more masterful, the procedure of ditching the phones, the gun, and flying right out, after changing in some dingy bathroom, the shooting of that scene was classic Fincher, with the hues of yellow and black. Grimy and visceral. The disconnected walk away scenes, the paranoia of eyeing the guy, and switching flights, hiding in the airport hotel.
Just a masterfully done exercise in style. The way he shot the Dominican Republic. The way the palm trees sway in the wind. There's some flaws in plot and direction, and the genre movie thing probably goes a little too far. Fight scene is 60% too long. But, what a movie. The Tilda Swinton scenes. The conclusion. I'll take Fincher's word that there's not a whole lot of message or deeper themes, it's just a pure genre exercise, like Panic Room, or The Game.
was there anything I missed with the girlfriend at the end?
