The eyebrow piercing made him immediately hotter and was such a good choice to show his attempt at rebellion and distaste from being pretty rich Golden boy

Worthless writer/director redid Talented Mr. Ripley, with outlandish and even more derivative convolutions that altogether equal a stupid movie that strains credulity. Supposedly the guy can just kill people by talking to them. Where did he get the poison used in the maze and wouldn't that be one of the first things the cops would check for? Stupid. About 50 questions like that. She tried to make a mystery by tricking the viewer and omitting key scenes. Agatha Christie you ain't! Dumb writer just skating from one shock scene to the next to try to make a name for herself. Hey DEI hire: "Gross sex scenes are not a substitute for talent."

I love how everything in this film is a backhanded compliment. She takes the blanket, which is romantic, but leaving him freezing. She calls him real, inferring he’s hot but also lower class, looking at him like a piece of meat… I guess the beauty of this film is they all f**k with him thinking they’ll get nothing back… and then they do
@jac71984 ай бұрын
i love this. but what i also love is even tho, however real is a metapjor for low class and its indeed a backhanfed complimtent, its also acknowledging that they arent real at all. tjey are constantly putting up a play. a play of being dreadfully casual and relaxed, when in fact theyre not. theyre really old school and uptied. but to come across as more real people they ACT that they are casual. oliver is just what he is (which is so powerful because later we come to know He is but an act too). yet venisha is kind of acknowledging that oliver just is what he is, no mystery. vulnerable, emotional, not relaxed at all. but he is showing everything, he is showing them all the little emotions and the little nerves someone feels. while their act of casualness also aenables them to hide any sort of raw emotion, or pain, or harshness of life. it makes them othetworldy; not fazed by life

Duncan the butler mystified me at first, but then I heard Fennnell explain in another interview how he symbolized Saltburn itself, the 400 year old house the drama played out in. Duncan was all seeing, all knowing, and yet ultimately powerless as he watched the fateful events playout. He knew Oliver didn't belong there. I don't think Oliver will hold on to the happiness he thinks he has at the end of the movie. He can never really possess any of the people or places or lifestyles he lusted after, because he will never truly belong.

So funny-back in the late '90s and early '00s, I was obsessed with men who wore their Carhartts so long that the cuff draped over their work boots and frayed at the heel. In retrospect, the calculated signaling-I'm a maker and an artist, and I don't mind being messy-was obvious. But I fell for it hook, line, and sinker back then. Thank you, Emerald, for Saltburn. It has solidly landed in my list of favorite movies of all time. I was blown away!

I keep thinking the dinner jacket thing was almost a slip up by Ollie. He says he could have brought one. I believe that’s because the one he wore at school was something he actually owned. Not a rental. Just something he could afford to own, but never got perfectly tailored. And obviously didn’t wear with French cuff shirts. Bc he is in fact NOT POOR. Just not an aristocrat.
