The "last movie I saw" thread

[Surfah]

That looks good. Unfortunate choice of name, which is probably why nobody knows about it. But I'll give it a watch.

I finally got around to Uncut Gems. Man, what a stressful film. I enjoyed it ex post facto. But it was kind of torture until it was over.

Uncut Gems was basically a 2 hour anxiety attack. Loved Sandler. Not sure I loved the film.

Les Miserables (2019). Not the musical. Was nominated for Best Foreign Film at last Oscars. A powerful film that is strikingly applicable to this American moment. If you're one who doesn't like to read subtitles I have to say that I forgot I was reading less than 5 minutes into the film. Highly recommend.

Where can I find it?

Oops, sorry about that. Prime. I'm looking forward to your take as a long time Paris resident.

Hamilton, available on Disney Plus, is outstanding. It's a live performance (actually, stitched together from three live performances, including one without an audience to facilitate close-ups) with the original cast from 2016. We saw such a performance a few months before this was filmed and it was great, but in many ways, this is better. Subtitles help, and seeing facial expressions adds a lot. Certainly worth a month's subscription...

Ha ha we watched it too and I was saying this is great for old people who can’t understand anything without subtitles.

I watched it with my kids last night. My 14-yr-old daughter was the most excited to watch because of its popularity. She left the room after about an hour (today she says she liked it but it was "a little long"). I dozed off about 90 minutes in and turned it off at around the two-hour mark--and unlike EJ, I never fall asleep during movies. So Hamilton did not meet the hype according to our household. I've been thinking about it today, wondering why it got so much acclaim.

This is consistent with my family. I wonder how much seeing it in person first makes a difference.

What is wrong with you people?

Watched Hamilton (for the first time) today too and have to say that I think I'm also in the overhyped camp. Maybe it is better live--or maybe it just that I have a low tolerance for cheese lately--but I was underwhelmed. It had some great moments, but I also found myself getting bored at times. Or maybe it was because Lin Manuel Miranda has become so ubiquitous since the play came out that I had a hard time buying into him as Hamilton.

You people are nuts. Hamilton is awesome.

Watched Hamilton-- for whatever reason I had never seen it. I have always meant to go watch it but it never happened. OMG wow. Blew away and exceeded whatever expectations I had. Lots of Easter eggs in the lyrics for those who know anything about 90s hip hop... I can't imagine the amount of writing Lin Manuel Miranda had to do draft after draft for that whole play. I'm guessing hundreds of pages of scrawled lyrics. Did he have any inkling that all that effort would pay off at all? Quite amazing.
