49. "That's because I wasn't describing what I liked about the movie" In response to In response to 48
I loved the three-beats-too-long violence. And the absolute cruelty shown by the our alleged protagonists to the rare innocents like James and Red Wellby and even Penelope - who was funny and worked perfectly as an outsider in a drama where the nastiness was heightened by small-town shared histories. And most of all, I liked the collapse of the almost-promised redemption narrative and its replacement with ambivalent and misplaced revenge and the promise of continued violence.
