TRAILERS

1

I appreciate the challenging role, and am becoming a big fan of Radcliffe, especially after watching Swiss Army Man, but this one seems a bit weak to me. Acting/writing feels on the nose.

I get what you are saying...almost seems like a David Ayer flick.

I'm quite surprised by Daniel Radcliffe. I never thought he'll do anything special after Harry Potter, but man, he's relentless. Film after film he tries harder and harder and there's quite a chance he'll make something of himself as an actor. Especially, since movies with him are never quite good, but are getting better and better ...

He was amazing in Swiss Army Man.

That is probably true. But I also have to be honest: I prefer Paul Dano and, for me, he's better reason to watch that funny flick. But then again, Radcliffe might also be good judging from said above, right?

Don't worry Bo, I'm definitely not fun of Harry Potter but my daughter is and that has the consequences you just can't imagine. Who's gonna take her to movie theater, what do you think? Oh man, I saw so many childish movies I didn't want to. Seeing her happy, on the other side, was also a good part of it ... But, she's getting older and in a few years I'll be free from those hard experiences ...

And that's a matter of perspective. When you live in Europe things look different. English speaking culture is something that comes from the outside and you react on it. In fact, I (and everybody else in Europe with such interests) have multilayered job, if I could say so. Learning English culture and other cultures is made to be in tune with many different cultures. Spanish, French, German, Russian movies and books that are out of focus in US (for the most, I guess) are very much present here. And some others, not necessary European, of course. My daughter is close to that and is also watching a lot of movies that you would call subtitled. And reads a lot of non-English stuff. Oh yes, don't worry, she prefers more and more those, not for everyone, films (whatever that means). She likes English language and English speaking culture (like all true European girl willing to learn different languages and cultures) but mostly she's much more interested in Roman culture, learning French language and culture (which she plans to study along with the anthropology - and she's thirteen so we still have to see is that really going to happen). Learning German language for her is investment in future. But Harry Potter was an exercise in English language for her because she mostly read all those books about his, huh, adventures, in English. Movies just came along, she prefers books. That new film about it, something about the Beasts-and-where-to-find-them related to it is not interesting for her anymore. She's passed that. Bo, I just described in my previous very shortly post her growing up. And believe me, it's quite different today than it was twenty or thirty years ago ... Cheers!

Cool post. Thanks for your reply, too. I wouldn't react back (which means, I would wait for another occasion) but there's a recurring subject in your thoughts that I feel need to comment. It's about the difference between American and European culture. You're not the first one from US to be disappointed in US culture and society, I also met some other, let's say, 'Europeanized' Americans who lament about bleakness and shallowness of American culture. Roughly said, some in Europe believe that American culture is made of Mickey Mouse, westerns and Captain America (maybe some Star Wars can be added to it). Mostly, for some Europeans, that's all there's to it. More than that, if you can find some American to read the book, it is mostly literature and comics and hardly something about social sciences or philosophy. As for the music, country, blues, pop and rock are nice but not classic. And so on, and on ... I don't belong to them. Of course, there might be something to it, but I think US is a kind of diversity in this world that has to be considered as different and discovered in what can be understood as authentic in a way some other cultures are not. However, I think US has horrible political and economic (social) culture and that's the reason I probably wouldn't like to live there if I don't have to. But I wouldn't condemn everything else for it. However, I would like to travel across that country because I find it very beautiful and interesting. I believe you caught my view about the US. As for Europe, it also shouldn't be considered as idealistic making. As for the politics, culture and society there's a lot of something I would call an Eurotrash (nationalism, shallow politicking, cheap ideas for culture made for crowd pleasing and more). Yes, not everything is great here either. It can also look in some respects like the American case. And also, people can be very ignorant regarding many important things. Ok, it's true, a lot of people is interested in culture here, that's true since they consider culture as a part of their identity. A lot of book, film and theater festivals are having a nice number of visitors. And there are no guns here, they are not allowed to be carried freely. And yes, political and economic culture can be better than US is. But not necessarily and not always. Simply said, from my point of view nothing is ideal and I don't believe I live in favorable part of the world. Well, in some respect I do, but not always and not absolutely. I guess, I wanted to tell you, Europe can look good, but it's not ideal either. Somehow, from your point of view, US seems like disappointment and Europe, from my point of view, looks like unfinished and with a perspective of a good historical project. Cheers ...

Poorly cut trailer.

I like what Radcliffe is doing in taking some challenging roles. But from what I see in trailer, I can't tell if it's mis-casting or not, buzzcut or not, he's just not very convincing as a skinhead. He might as well be holding a sign that says "I'm a cop".

His acting is horrible in this trailer
