Part of it is this assumption that people who are struggling with mental illness have a greater propensity for violence than any other demographic which is a pretty harmful stereotype. I haven't seen the movie since it came out so I can't remember this very clearly but I remember having the distinct impression that the riot at the end was supposed to somehow be evocative of Occupy Wall Street in a way that colored leftists as violent and anarchic in the same way that Fox likes to depict the George Floyd protests.

You're thinking of The Dark Knight Rises.

The movie portrayed Fleck as resorting to violence after being beaten down and neglected continuously. He's sympathetic in the beginning because of his mental illness, and his first act of violence is portrayed as self defense. We had already seen him being a passive victim of violence once before that.

As far as the riots go, violence being the result of socioeconomic inequality, corruption, and neglect is a reality.

Before the movie came out, there was a lot of handwringing about the movie inspiring violence by those already marginalized. I feel like discussion before most people saw the movie impacted a lot of interpretations.

The lead in this was the co-star and writer of Bottoms which was really funny.

I haven't liked Aaron Taylor-Johnson in anything, but the others are fine? I'm kind of willing to trust Eggers to get good performances from them at least. And of course Dafoe and Ineson loving rule.

Given that it's a fan trailer, I fairly sure they hosed up the billing order.

I know Anya Taylor-Joy was, and that's why Eggers got Lily-Rose Depp :-/

I was about to say I really liked this cast, athough I dont think ive ever seen lily rose depp is anything.

But then I realized t didnt say anya taylor joy at the top


Either way, I completely trust Eggers. A lot of actors I never liked have surprised me before, with the right directors.

Northman was terrific. I also do not feel the need to ever revisit it, and don't think it was particularly remarkable, but I had a great time with it.

I like vibe movies just fine, but Northman was pretty plotty and it could only function if every character was a complete idiot. Some truly painful dialogue as well.

It's like it didn't know what it wanted to be, an epic poem or grounded, and not doing a great job of either.

The knattleikr game is the only time the film feels like it knows what it's doing.

But he's earned enough goodwill that I'll still go see Nosferatu blind.

Northman was definitely a misfire but it was so clearly a case of Eggers clashing with studio money that you kind of have to give him a pass

my bigger issue is him doing Nosferatu after it already has one of the greatest remakes of all time. just isn't that exciting.

It'll be such an incredibly high bar to clear. Impossible standard really. How is Eggers gunna convince an actor not to blink for every take?! Pretty sure Kinski volunteered for that!
