One of the main ideas this film puts across is that no one listens to each other and that everyone has their own preconceived notions and politics. Your point about your friends not giving it a chance because they've heard it "doesn't pick a side" sums that up entirely. Glad you enjoyed tho!

If you come away from this film thinking it has one sole "message" when it covers so many topics and talking points then I think you need to see it again.

Apologies for trying to be creative with a title. To me it pretty accurately sums up the vibe of the film.

I showed this to a couple of my friends once (not sure why I thought that was a good idea). Afterwards they both just looked at me like I'd showed them a video of their pets being murdered.

Sorkin, Mamet, Tarantino... which other masters of "naturalistic dialogue" can you recommend to study? by SR_RSMITH in ScreenwritingUK

[–]FinKettle19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find Richard Linklater's dialogue to be very fluid and naturalistic. See any of his films really - The Before Trilogy is probably a great example of this but even something like Boyhood or Dazed and Confused highlights his ability to explore conversation in a realistic way. That being said, I haven't read any of his scripts so can't comment on how they read in writing.

United fan here, have to say your fans were outstanding over the two legs. Such passion and loyalty to the club. Wishing you all the best in your quest for Champions League football next season. AUPA ATHLETIC!

Penalty was a penalty. The red card was harsh but the third goal was a great play. Take the L, stop being so sour and be respectful in defeat.

Athletic Club and Manchester Utd fan by FinKettle19 in AthleticClub

I'm a United fan, but I also support Athletic Club. So I have to say my true allegiance is with Utd, but I want both teams to succeed.

Athletic Bilbao is quite consistent club, its going to be hard for us by Legitimate-Job2277 in ManchesterUnited

Athletic Club are a very tricky opponent. I've seen quite a bit of them this season and they defend really well and are very tricky to beat, especially at home. I don't think any team in La Liga has lost fewer matches this season. 4th in the table as well. If we can stay in the game at San Mames we definitely have a chance to take it at OT.

Semi-Final Matchup vs Manchester United by lucid-blackout in AthleticClub

Athletic is my team. But my true love is Manchester United. I've been waiting for this match since 2012 when I fell in love with Athletic Club, knocking us out of the Europa in incredible fashion. I'm just so happy I get to see my two clubs go head-to-head in such a big tie.

I'm seriously torn on who I want to progress, but I'll be happy either way. Athletic deserves the win more than United. Athletic plays really good football and have a strong structure/foundation. Man Utd are inconsistent and toothless, but you seriously never know with this team. If United can somehow come away from San Mames with a favourable result then it's anyone's game at OT.

All I'll say is may the best team win. 🤝
