popular movie reaction
glass onion was quite good. it had certain weak points but the second segment of the film was very well done.
actual spoiler bit of popular movie reaction
the mona lisa burning scene was really tedious tho. like the event itself and the aftermath scene are good payoffs for all the prior setup, but dragging out Helen getting there like that was just annoying. also why didn’t we hear the shield activating for like five minutes beforehand anyway. apparently it was still functioning but like, just not making any noise despite being significantly loud earlier in the film?
re: actual spoiler bit of popular movie reaction
@alyssa yeah the pacing of that sequence was strange. I think the reason it was so long was so that we could watch the rich people cheer in the destruction before getting agitated after it goes too far, basically showing how some people embrace the aesthetic of revolution but then push back once the status quo actually becomes threatened.
Which I like in theory. In execution the whole sequence was overstuffed by that point
re: actual spoiler bit of popular movie reaction
@wallhackio oh i wasn't even complaining about that whole bit (which, not really a strong scene but less remarkable imo), more just the like drawn out slow-motion once Helen starts to move toward the Mona Lisa security override after the place is already burning
