This movie isn´t even underrated... it is just widely unknown. Actually it is more or less beloved by everone who ever saw it! :)
One of the most underrated films of the decade
This is a perfect movie IMO. Encapsulates everything I want out of cinema. The scene where Ken stops Ray from killing himself while simultaneously attempting to murder him is one of my favorite scenes of all time.
I've never seen a movie with such a mixed reaction. I saw it with my family. I laughed, my mother cried, my father fell asleep and my sister was in chock.
Colin Farrell gives one of the most underrated performances of all time
One touch I really loved from that film is at the very end: when Harry is about to shoot himself for killing what he thinks is a child but is actually a very racist dwarf dressed as an elf, Ray tries to stop him. Harry has spent most of the film trying to kill Ray but it never was personal and Ray got that and accepted it fully. It's very rare to see enemies respecting each other that much.
I had no real idea what to expect from this film, but it really surprised the hell out of me. It's one of the best, most striking films I've ever seen.
There is enough preserved blood and bones of Jesus in Europe for an entire army of Christs
In Bruges is also a pastiche...homage...nod of the head to The Dumb Waiter by Harold Pinter. Absurdist play about two hit met waiting for instructions, slowly find out one has botched a job, the other is there to kill him.
i go to school in Bruges and i get to leave every day.
"You're an Inanimate fucking object!"
It's an inanimate fucking object!
The ambiguity of Ray's final voice over is similar to the end of Inception, in that wondering whether or not he survived (or if the top fell) is beside the point: he no longer hoped he would die, so it's a happy ending.
I've always interpreted the characters as Jesus, Humanity, and Satan:
This video is like a fucking fairytale or something.
In Bruges is what every author wants his book to be. The images it creates and the story it tells, is exactly at least how I want my stories to read in the head of the reader. the dialogue, the morality, the mystical, the humanism all combine brilliantly in this film.
Amazing film, and on rewatches it must be one of the tightest scripts ever filmed. Almost every line is either a foreshadowing or referencing something that has already happened, or has a hidden double meaning.
Ray's penultimate line, "cause at least in death or in prison, y'know, I wouldn't be in fuckin' Bruges!" had me in stitches the first time I saw this fantastic film. Very underrated line that sums up the character quite brilliantly imho.
I love you for making this. I'm only 17, and watched In Bruges not that long ago, but I think it may have been one of the first real "films" I ever watched, if you know what I mean. I'd always been an avid movie watcher, but I remember this movie coming to an end and feeling something new. This... just being left to wonder. My religious upbringing and personal morality seemed to be struggling, together and despite each other, to make sense of what had happened, to maybe assign labels of "right" and "wrong" to the actions of the characters. The failure to do so, the strange loops I was lost in, the paradoxes I encountered, but, at the time, couldn't yet articulate... man. The movie is a slow burn, and you just made me want to watch it again.
I love this movie
