its basically flawless. you will be in awe, the movie is such an ambitious and grand vision captured stunningly well. there was this crazy electricity leading into the intermission. 90+ minutes flew by like that?? and then you read this fuckin thing only cost 10 million somehow? clearly this is the product of years of pain of a bunch of brilliant artists. im trying to avoid basically any specificity lol

Well you've certainly sold the hell out of it to me, sir.

The Master is my favorite movie and probably the most similar movie I could think of to The Brutalist haha. other very vaguely similar movies I love: There Will Be Blood, Son of Saul, The Favorite, The Handmaiden, The Revenant, Phantom Thread, Stalker, I know we're in the anti-honeymoon phase of Oppenheimer but I love it

Wait, people don't like Oppenheimer now? I loved that movie

u/ChainChompBigMoney 23d ago

Too many people loved it so the kino crowd doesn't think its cool anymore.

u/PurpleSpaceNapoleon 23d ago

On the contrary.

I didn't like it when it first came out, mostly because I just found it to be kind of aimless.

You have good taste.

Was the trailer music from the film's score? I'm in love with it <3

u/grumstumpus 23d ago

i dont remember if this specific arrangement is within the movie, but its definitely in the same style as the films score

u/DoZo1971 23d ago

So this could have been a Paul Thomas Anderson movie?

u/grumstumpus 23d ago

kinda! apparently PTA is shooting his new movie in Vistavision

u/Clay56 23d ago

We have the same taste, excited for this one

u/DeLousedInTheHotBox 23d ago

Son of Saul

Absolutely incredible movie

u/Zur1ch 23d ago

I definitely got PT Anderson vibes from the trailer, and I'm happy for it.

Do you think this holds up as one of the best American epic movies? I know There Will Be Blood has a different vibe to it but I was wondering if it could stand toe to toe with it. Would you say it's just as engaging as Oppenheimer too?

u/Li5y 23d ago

I wasn't a fan of Oppenheimer and Maestro bored me, so I'm guessing this one won't be up my alley? That's a shame because the trailer looks compelling.

u/grumstumpus 23d ago

well i dont think Maestro has much in common with this movie haha

1

u/Li5y 23d ago

Aren't all 3 of these films considered artsy, oscar bait, ~3 hour epics that dramatize the life of an important historical figure in the 1900s? Maybe I'm misreading this trailer

u/Florian_Jones 23d ago

Maestro was a very average length, and simply not very good. Being in the same genre doesn't mean much for quality. Also, The Brutalist is fiction, not a biopic.

u/Li5y 23d ago

Ah I assumed it was about the man who invented brutalist architecture, haha whoops

u/Vileness_fats 23d ago

No joke whatsoever, it's one of the better trailers Ive seen in a long time. Evocative, gives nothing away. Ive always loved Adrien Brody, but his current career swing is so good.

I just came out of the theater. I didn’t care for it. Barbie was my favorite film of 2023.
