Anne Hathaway gets twisted in Verity, but does the movie deliver on its dark and disturbing premise?
I’m joined by comedian Josh Pray to break down Verity, including Anne Hathaway’s performance, Josh Hartnett, Dakota Johnson, the film’s atmosphere, the story’s twists, what worked for us, what didn’t, and whether the movie ultimately delivers.
We also get into our overall thoughts, our biggest issues with the film, and where Verity succeeds—and falls short.
What did you think of Verity? Do you agree with our takes?

00:02.065 --> 00:04.447
[SPEAKER_01]: a record you played until you wore it out.
00:05.007 --> 00:07.689
[SPEAKER_01]: A movie you knew each and every line too.
00:08.169 --> 00:10.691
[SPEAKER_01]: A toy you couldn't wait to show your friends.
00:11.372 --> 00:17.616
[SPEAKER_01]: And that one snack that tastes just as good as when you snuck it into the movie theater at 12 years old.
00:18.237 --> 00:20.458
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm Brian Colburn, and I'm Jay Sweet.
00:20.839 --> 00:22.880
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is the room we wanted.
00:23.440 --> 00:27.864
[SPEAKER_01]: A show about the people we were, before we became the people we are.
00:28.484 --> 00:32.025
[SPEAKER_01]: On the room we wanted, we're not just asking, hey, remember this?
00:32.545 --> 00:36.667
[SPEAKER_01]: Instead, we're asking, why did this matter so much?
00:37.267 --> 00:39.548
[SPEAKER_01]: And does it still matter now?
00:40.308 --> 00:46.970
[SPEAKER_01]: Each episode our roommate reveals four childhood obsessions that as adults tell a much bigger story.
00:47.730 --> 00:52.312
[SPEAKER_01]: The room we wanted, who you were, before you became who you are.
00:52.812 --> 00:55.893
[SPEAKER_01]: Subscribe now wherever you listen to podcasts.
00:57.480 --> 01:04.738
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're wondering when you should take a bath and break your infertility, honestly any time, you can leave for five minutes come back and feel like you didn't miss a damn thing.
01:05.172 --> 01:10.333
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's a problem for our movie that's supposed to keep you going and guessing until it's a big plot twist.
01:10.614 --> 01:12.474
[SPEAKER_02]: And halfway in Josh Arnett, bringing it.
01:12.834 --> 01:18.416
[SPEAKER_02]: But can you see my plan riding in predictable romance for our movie that takes a way way too long to get it going.
01:18.616 --> 01:20.036
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's talk for Arnett.
01:20.276 --> 01:21.737
[SPEAKER_02]: And hey Josh, welcome back man.
01:21.797 --> 01:22.417
[SPEAKER_02]: It's good to see you.
01:22.437 --> 01:23.457
[SPEAKER_02]: You're going to have you back on.
01:24.037 --> 01:27.478
[SPEAKER_00]: So as you taste, you know, I heard you win in South Verde.
01:27.638 --> 01:30.379
[SPEAKER_00]: I need to know your thoughts because I'm pretty sure we're going to completely disagree.
01:30.759 --> 01:39.125
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we're going to have some disagreements, but I think at the end of the day and everything we're still going to be friends at the end of this podcast, but uh, here's the thing, man.
01:39.165 --> 01:46.650
[SPEAKER_02]: I went into this because of the suspense because of the plot because they promised a big huge plot twist in the trailer.
01:47.231 --> 01:51.974
[SPEAKER_02]: I loved Anne Hathaway's performance, even though she's knocking out of the park this year with the movie, so she's been in.
01:52.955 --> 01:54.016
[SPEAKER_02]: Josh Harney brings it.
01:54.056 --> 01:55.557
[SPEAKER_02]: I really loved his performance.
01:56.102 --> 02:01.447
[SPEAKER_02]: Dakota Johnson is really she really missed the mark for me as far as this movie goes.
02:02.168 --> 02:15.640
[SPEAKER_02]: I just felt like it was very wouldn't it was very they're writing for this first very bland and okay I just wanted a little bit more but you can definitely tell they're trying their best to do with a bland script with this movie but uh tell me what your thoughts are.
02:16.001 --> 02:16.882
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you read the book?
02:17.382 --> 02:18.984
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I never read the book or anything.
02:19.004 --> 02:23.209
[SPEAKER_00]: I just went into it watching, but you went into it.
02:23.309 --> 02:26.713
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm seeing the trailers read this and not just have an idea, right?
02:27.313 --> 02:29.315
[SPEAKER_00]: So I did a review for the movie.
02:29.396 --> 02:34.181
[SPEAKER_00]: I did a reaction and I even said, I said, all movie critics, I need you to stay away from this movie.
02:34.541 --> 02:35.843
[SPEAKER_00]: I need all film critics.
02:36.083 --> 02:38.805
[SPEAKER_00]: to stay away from this movie, unless you read the book, right?
02:40.107 --> 02:40.827
[SPEAKER_00]: I read the book.
02:40.987 --> 02:54.259
[SPEAKER_00]: So I read the last year, maybe two years ago, but I wanted to say I read the last year and there were some, there was a few missing points from the book, but it was almost page for page identical to the book.
02:54.599 --> 02:57.642
[SPEAKER_00]: So any book reader or book lover, we may not have had any,
02:57.822 --> 03:06.666
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything, but we were excited and it hit every single mark in everybody that played the characters in the book brought them to life on the screen.
03:06.706 --> 03:09.847
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you did it, get to read the book.
03:09.907 --> 03:11.668
[SPEAKER_00]: You just said something about Dakota Johnson.
03:11.788 --> 03:14.810
[SPEAKER_00]: She played her role perfectly.
03:14.850 --> 03:17.010
[SPEAKER_00]: She was in the entire movie.
03:17.050 --> 03:21.572
[SPEAKER_00]: She probably played the role as close to the book as any character in the movie.
03:21.793 --> 03:22.233
[SPEAKER_00]: The worst.
03:23.108 --> 03:46.941
[SPEAKER_00]: person was probably Josh Hartman, I like Josh Hartman as an actor, I think he looked right in the film, I think he was a handsome guy, I think he appealed to women 30 to 55 years old could Josh Hartman character have been and his name he's escaping me, he's the one guy he's in euphoria, he was in the movie with
03:47.761 --> 03:48.861
[SPEAKER_02]: He was also in the faculty.
03:48.901 --> 03:52.242
[SPEAKER_00]: He was also, and now I'm not talking about John's heart anymore.
03:52.262 --> 04:00.964
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm saying the guy that should probably, the guy, women probably wanted to be John's heart and his character was in the show.
04:01.484 --> 04:05.325
[SPEAKER_00]: He was in the movie with, no, no, my gosh, he is.
04:05.365 --> 04:06.225
[SPEAKER_00]: He is so fine.
04:06.325 --> 04:07.725
[SPEAKER_00]: He was like four different white women.
04:09.126 --> 04:10.826
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a timepiece period.
04:11.546 --> 04:12.067
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, okay.
04:12.428 --> 04:13.650
[SPEAKER_00]: She was in the woofer wall stream.
04:13.710 --> 04:14.371
[SPEAKER_00]: What's the lady name?
04:14.731 --> 04:15.853
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I'm Margarabi.
04:16.394 --> 04:17.736
[SPEAKER_00]: Margarabi's lady's family.
04:17.756 --> 04:18.678
[SPEAKER_00]: She played a period piece.
04:19.940 --> 04:20.961
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't think of it on hand.
04:21.181 --> 04:21.922
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my God.
04:22.222 --> 04:29.769
[SPEAKER_00]: But that movie that people wanted him to play Josh Hartman's character because he's young and he's handsome and he's exciting to me.
04:29.989 --> 04:35.714
[SPEAKER_00]: The film did a phenomenal job of replicating the book in his entirety.
04:36.875 --> 04:44.702
[SPEAKER_00]: The only thing is the book is way creepier because the book gave more details about some of the things like you being a movie seeer.
04:45.582 --> 04:52.446
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a scene where the couple were Josh Martin's character in Dakota, Johnson character, they're supposed to start having sex on the couch.
04:52.826 --> 04:53.346
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
04:53.366 --> 04:59.670
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you read the book, when in Hathaway's character, very walks into the room, it's creepy.
04:59.930 --> 05:03.692
[SPEAKER_00]: It's almost those like in the movie, it happened too fast.
05:03.812 --> 05:13.857
[SPEAKER_00]: So the build-up, this suspense, it was the movie should have been a little bit more eerie, it should have almost been like in Hathaway's character was the ghost.
05:15.043 --> 05:19.266
[SPEAKER_02]: So there should have been like a little bit more of a slower pace as far as that scene will go.
05:19.346 --> 05:19.606
[SPEAKER_02]: Right?
05:19.646 --> 05:25.811
[SPEAKER_00]: The entire movie, like the entire book has until the layers appeal don't have way through the book.
05:25.891 --> 05:30.014
[SPEAKER_00]: The book almost has a possessed area miss to it.
05:30.094 --> 05:33.317
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there's some ghost or demonic entity going on.
05:33.637 --> 05:34.698
[SPEAKER_00]: The movie didn't give that.
05:34.758 --> 05:39.901
[SPEAKER_00]: This movie gave more of a theater lifetime version movie.
05:40.002 --> 05:40.302
[SPEAKER_00]: I gotcha.
05:40.682 --> 05:52.850
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think if you look at that trend, if you look at the trailer, you probably expected that you probably expected more suspense, more, I was expecting, I'll be real with you.
05:52.870 --> 05:53.790
[SPEAKER_02]: I love the trailer.
05:53.810 --> 06:04.157
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought they did a really good job of setting up the trailer and explain to us, like Dakota Johnson places struggling, Arthur, who's trying to get noticed, and she doesn't get noticed.
06:04.177 --> 06:05.818
[SPEAKER_02]: No one's really buying her books.
06:05.838 --> 06:08.460
[SPEAKER_02]: If you have an pathway who is the more successful Arthur,
06:09.020 --> 06:31.872
[SPEAKER_02]: who is actually on the rise of fame and she is in the rise of fame and now it's up to Dakota's Johnson's character try and write me a ghost writer for and have the ways character so that's what I was initially what I liked was that set up and they deliver on that set up is just that I felt like the movie moved a little too slow for me
06:32.312 --> 06:37.975
[SPEAKER_00]: because you and the other reason I said that is because you did it read the book see to me the movie moved too fast.
06:38.375 --> 06:46.140
[SPEAKER_00]: I was I was ready for them to delve into like how means she were she was according to the manuscript to her children.
06:46.580 --> 06:51.743
[SPEAKER_00]: And the same where where she goes into the room to suffocate the kids.
06:52.103 --> 06:57.626
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm I'm going to go out on the limb and say that scene may have been re-edited.
06:58.226 --> 07:03.914
[SPEAKER_00]: because of the Lindsey Clancy trial and everything that's going on with that in the situation of course.
07:03.934 --> 07:09.442
[SPEAKER_02]: I was actually getting that kind of vibe from it to be honest with you with that kind of vibe for the Lindsey Clancy case.
07:09.810 --> 07:17.431
[SPEAKER_00]: But so in the book, in the book, it's way more not violent, but it's way more like, oh my God, she's not gonna kill these kids.
07:17.831 --> 07:23.192
[SPEAKER_00]: Like in the book, it talks about how she put the pillow over and tried to suffocate it and had to pull back.
07:23.412 --> 07:30.494
[SPEAKER_00]: The movie, I felt they took some stuff out because of the real world implications of it.
07:30.734 --> 07:37.995
[SPEAKER_00]: And they didn't wanna go that far, but if they would've made you literally hate,
07:38.475 --> 07:59.543
[SPEAKER_00]: and feel creepy about Anne Hathaway's character because throughout the book and your reading it, you hate her until you get to the back end of that book and you're like, wait, wait a minute, this is the twist and when you go through that plot twist in the movie, it happened at the end and it was over and the book, it made you sit with that for some sharpness.
08:00.983 --> 08:15.714
[SPEAKER_02]: And it gives you right because as a book reader, it gives you that whole entire thing of okay the attention is now gone and now you have to sit with that ending just a process what you just read but but it didn't like that in a book you literally ran through that
08:16.414 --> 08:21.916
[SPEAKER_00]: Not the manuscript she read through the whole movie, but that little notes she found, the book, it amplified it.
08:21.936 --> 08:24.237
[SPEAKER_00]: So you sat through that with chapters and it dreaded.
08:24.297 --> 08:26.077
[SPEAKER_00]: And it made Josh Martin's character.
08:26.517 --> 08:27.878
[SPEAKER_00]: You looked at him differently.
08:27.918 --> 08:29.338
[SPEAKER_00]: You didn't look at him as a savior.
08:29.418 --> 08:31.159
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was just a heartbroken dad.
08:31.199 --> 08:34.340
[SPEAKER_00]: You looked at him as Vindigilvin, him a nigh away.
08:34.360 --> 08:36.481
[SPEAKER_00]: He knew what he was doing, the entire movie.
08:36.781 --> 08:40.042
[SPEAKER_00]: The movie almost made you feel bad for him.
08:40.282 --> 08:42.563
[SPEAKER_00]: Even after he discovered the manuscript.
08:42.663 --> 08:44.844
[SPEAKER_02]: You see, I even felt that though, too, at the end of it,
08:46.324 --> 08:51.345
[SPEAKER_02]: his character was very vindictive on a very manipulative and I got that out of it.
08:51.684 --> 08:51.924
[SPEAKER_02]: too.
08:52.204 --> 08:53.945
[SPEAKER_02]: I really, um, and also too.
08:54.365 --> 08:59.388
[SPEAKER_02]: She's Dakota Johnson's also trying to take basically rareties identity in a sense.
08:59.468 --> 09:01.949
[SPEAKER_00]: If she wasn't that much of a bitch in the book, no.
09:02.590 --> 09:05.971
[SPEAKER_00]: Like in the book, she was just like, oh my gosh, I want to save things.
09:06.032 --> 09:09.693
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to be the savior of these things and there he such a evil woman.
09:10.114 --> 09:14.456
[SPEAKER_00]: This movie made her seem like she envied very, very.
09:14.716 --> 09:16.377
[SPEAKER_00]: And she wanted her man from the jump.
09:16.517 --> 09:17.457
[SPEAKER_00]: When in the book, it
09:18.558 --> 09:25.544
[SPEAKER_02]: It just happens to be that they run this predicament together where she's in this thing where she has to write this book and it just has to be there.
09:25.744 --> 09:26.044
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
09:26.404 --> 09:27.345
[SPEAKER_00]: Now far as the wolf.
09:27.665 --> 09:28.166
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I'm sorry.
09:28.606 --> 09:34.651
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because even in the very start of this movie where they witness someone, someone getting hit by a car and there's blood on her.
09:35.151 --> 09:37.894
[SPEAKER_02]: It has like a very 50 shades of gray kind of vibe with it.
09:38.274 --> 09:47.742
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you see Josh Hornet there and then after that he pops up again in the meeting, I'm like, this is too much like 50 shades of gray right here.
09:48.422 --> 09:48.903
[SPEAKER_02]: I get it.
09:49.403 --> 09:52.767
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, and from a movie standpoint, I know I keep talking about the book from a movie.
09:52.787 --> 09:53.568
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, it's fine.
09:53.588 --> 09:55.330
[SPEAKER_02]: I like your perspective on that.
09:55.630 --> 09:57.533
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought the cinematography was great.
09:58.013 --> 09:59.995
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought the lighting, the scenes were great.
10:00.376 --> 10:03.719
[SPEAKER_00]: The weakest part, the weakest part of the entire film, and my opinion.
10:04.360 --> 10:05.160
[SPEAKER_00]: was the score.
10:05.321 --> 10:08.722
[SPEAKER_00]: The score and those type of movies and films makes the movie.
10:09.142 --> 10:09.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
10:09.783 --> 10:19.688
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you have a passionate score during the love making scenes or when it's thunder and lightning, when when the character is curious or at the mysterious, the score is extremely important.
10:20.308 --> 10:27.352
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought the score was a little underwhelming, but if you take that away, I love everything out about the movie.
10:27.772 --> 10:28.892
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was sexy.
10:29.072 --> 10:31.694
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought the intimate scenes were unpassionate.
10:34.195 --> 10:39.700
[SPEAKER_00]: been a little bit more HBO 1996 after midnight.
10:40.281 --> 10:40.521
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
10:40.842 --> 10:47.928
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt like they were really softening a lot of it, where as 50 shades are great, or 365 days, or, um, house made,
10:52.973 --> 10:57.817
[SPEAKER_00]: We're sitting and swinging, they gave adults what we wanted, like sex runs ramp it.
10:58.178 --> 11:04.763
[SPEAKER_00]: So give us something softer, but just investing it just a little bit more for...
11:04.883 --> 11:06.164
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like...
11:06.304 --> 11:08.146
[SPEAKER_02]: I get what you're coming from, and I also want to say this.
11:08.166 --> 11:10.568
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought the swimming target was really good with this as well.
11:10.948 --> 11:13.050
[SPEAKER_02]: The lighting and stuff was really good in it as well.
11:13.070 --> 11:14.311
[SPEAKER_02]: That's something else I want to mention.
11:14.831 --> 11:18.054
[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, we also mentioned the whole entire tension of it.
11:19.647 --> 11:22.929
[SPEAKER_02]: And I just wish that some of the sexual scenes were a lot more intense.
11:23.589 --> 11:29.292
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, you know, where you can actually feel that hotness between the lead, right?
11:29.332 --> 11:34.955
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I wanted because even with the scoring, like you said, it will take you out of it.
11:35.155 --> 11:38.637
[SPEAKER_02]: Because it doesn't amplify anything that's going on on the screen at all.
11:39.237 --> 11:44.960
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I didn't really feel the connection between Dakota Johnson and also Josh Hartnets' character.
11:45.180 --> 11:45.460
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
11:45.880 --> 11:51.243
[SPEAKER_00]: I think as adults, when we go to movies like this, we know it will walk it into, of course, we don't want them to be pornographic.
11:51.643 --> 11:58.966
[SPEAKER_00]: But when you walk into a film like this, and if I'm with a woman in the film, I'm sorry, in the movie theater, and it seems comes on.
11:59.286 --> 12:03.969
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanted to be so passionate that we both get slightly uncomfortable like, oh my gosh,
12:06.810 --> 12:31.685
[SPEAKER_00]: tension in the theater for us, um, I think they, I think they did a good job and I'm not into paying King's or anything like that, but I think they did a good job of like the little Biden, um, I didn't need to see as much blood, but like the Biden of the little or the Biden of the headboard, I'm like, okay, this is what I read, but it was still missing that I want to take what I read and experience it with my partner real life, um,
12:31.925 --> 12:49.583
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think the reason to is it already established their connection at the very beginning had they just got away from that part and just focused in on the meeting itself and then build it up towards that and like George Hardin be like this shadow and the dark kind of thing up watching this writer.
12:50.123 --> 13:05.615
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and letting it build that way of like I'm into you, but I don't want to show that I'm into you because I'm married But I'm trying to save my marriage, but I'm not trying to be with you and then you can be the seductress of not And where you're trying to not I'm trying to avoid this guy, but you can't because you're in this house
13:06.257 --> 13:16.243
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, and then when the sex scenes happen, then it creates that whole entire intense moments like we mentioned when you actually feel hot for teacher in a sense, but it's like you feel hot.
13:16.743 --> 13:20.626
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, I think you went from smoking a cigarette to trying to have sex with it.
13:20.666 --> 13:24.368
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, yeah, this is like, it just that skip too much.
13:24.568 --> 13:26.209
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's me, that's me being critical.
13:27.510 --> 13:28.771
[SPEAKER_00]: I was a fan of the film.
13:28.971 --> 13:31.192
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm definitely gonna go see it twice.
13:32.553 --> 13:48.374
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I like the passion, I like the, it didn't have, this film wasn't supposed to have a message, this film was never really supposed to leave you feeling like, oh my gosh, they murdered an innocent person like something really went down.
13:49.235 --> 13:51.876
[SPEAKER_00]: It didn't, it didn't leave you feeling guilty.
13:52.116 --> 13:54.116
[SPEAKER_00]: It just, to me, it made me feel like I'm happy.
13:54.156 --> 14:06.739
[SPEAKER_00]: I watched it, but when I went to saw the housemate, the housemate stuck with me because I'm like, damn, the dude was like, he, he, he, he, he coars different women to come in this house, he was abusive.
14:06.999 --> 14:08.220
[SPEAKER_00]: We was against him.
14:08.260 --> 14:11.320
[SPEAKER_00]: We wanted the women to, to defeat him and win, hurt him.
14:11.560 --> 14:13.841
[SPEAKER_00]: The sex was super passionate, so we could see why the women were
14:18.023 --> 14:20.080
[SPEAKER_00]: Point where you didn't.
14:20.898 --> 14:22.058
[SPEAKER_00]: You weren't against him.
14:22.378 --> 14:28.519
[SPEAKER_00]: With Verity, the book, you were against Verity, the entire book, and you weren't.
14:28.979 --> 14:40.161
[SPEAKER_00]: In this film, you kind of rooted against Dakota Johnson because you didn't want us stepping in and just being a young, tempted writer trying to come up.
14:40.221 --> 14:42.842
[SPEAKER_00]: So you never really were able to light support her.
14:43.142 --> 14:47.043
[SPEAKER_02]: You see, I actually felt like I was rooting for Josh Hartnett.
14:47.423 --> 14:49.123
[SPEAKER_02]: I was really rooting for the husband.
14:49.963 --> 15:06.310
[SPEAKER_02]: because Jimmy Crawford and the reason why is because of how they set that up is sending him up to be like the hero who's being abused by this woman by verity who doesn't want any kids or anything and she even says in her whole entire documentation of life.
15:07.260 --> 15:10.682
[SPEAKER_02]: I find this is a burden to me because of the fact I'm pregnant with twins.
15:11.023 --> 15:12.123
[SPEAKER_02]: I do not want twins.
15:12.204 --> 15:19.769
[SPEAKER_02]: Even though Jeremy is making me feel like I'm woman enough and beautiful enough, it's still not enough because I just want him.
15:19.789 --> 15:22.451
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want kids too, but the book.
15:23.051 --> 15:26.552
[SPEAKER_00]: The book made her more selfish and jealous.
15:26.652 --> 15:31.294
[SPEAKER_00]: In this film, this film was more like childish.
15:31.694 --> 15:33.775
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, oh, I want to pay attention to me.
15:34.155 --> 15:40.437
[SPEAKER_00]: But the book, you really got that sense from the first time you read about Verity, like, oh my gosh.
15:40.477 --> 15:42.378
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, she's just a selfish jealous.
15:42.778 --> 15:44.539
[SPEAKER_00]: I want all the praise type woman.
15:45.199 --> 15:46.939
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, again, I want to say it.
15:47.220 --> 15:48.120
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the film.
15:48.820 --> 15:53.263
[SPEAKER_00]: I just wish they would have vilified her just a lot more.
15:53.283 --> 15:54.223
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't say a little bit more.
15:54.243 --> 15:56.824
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say would have vilified her a lot more.
15:57.465 --> 16:05.089
[SPEAKER_00]: And I wish they would have softened the coat of Johnson's character a little bit more.
16:05.669 --> 16:06.810
[SPEAKER_00]: They see swap that.
16:07.550 --> 16:24.285
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they took advantage of Anne Hathaway's ability to act because there was one scene where she was putting the attack in her hand and just to see, just to see Anne Hathaway's space, her demeanor, the makeup, the lips, her non-reaction.
16:24.626 --> 16:26.207
[SPEAKER_00]: You was like, wow, this woman is like really
16:29.537 --> 16:47.200
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think the filmmakers as well as when they probably contacted Colleen Hoover, the writer of the book, they probably wanted to take advantage of and Hathaway's ability to just beat on screen, but I definitely think they could have made her a bigger villain.
16:47.740 --> 16:52.481
[SPEAKER_00]: And the children aspect of it in the book, the sun is way more creepy.
16:52.661 --> 16:54.521
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's way more like creepy.
16:54.781 --> 16:58.062
[SPEAKER_00]: This movie just made it like, I don't know, my money said don't talk to you.
16:59.302 --> 17:05.646
[SPEAKER_00]: So I can understand how you felt as a person that didn't read the source of material, walking into the film as just a film.
17:05.666 --> 17:08.868
[SPEAKER_00]: I can totally sympathize with you.
17:09.048 --> 17:14.432
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, and you see another thing too is like I understand that they're trying to play into the hand at the ways.
17:15.132 --> 17:20.495
[SPEAKER_02]: I think ability it made her feel like she was in the background and let it have to code a Johnson carried the film.
17:20.535 --> 17:22.196
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how I felt through the whole entire movie.
17:22.516 --> 17:23.957
[SPEAKER_02]: This is not an in-hathaway film.
17:23.977 --> 17:27.139
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a decoded Johnson film to show what acting chops she has.
17:27.479 --> 17:35.203
[SPEAKER_02]: So maybe next time when her PR team goes on ahead and tries to hire for another film, like well, her acting was really good in fairity.
17:35.504 --> 17:36.664
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's put her in more films.
17:36.985 --> 17:41.287
[SPEAKER_02]: It just felt like that she was just the front end and then halfway was in the background.
17:41.667 --> 17:42.447
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's it.
17:42.607 --> 17:48.709
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted more from and even though we got it, we got it like she I thought she was intense.
17:48.829 --> 17:51.090
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought that her acting like that.
17:51.130 --> 17:52.810
[SPEAKER_02]: She's kind of tonic was really good.
17:53.251 --> 17:59.032
[SPEAKER_02]: I really thought that this woman was really being discdictive and that this woman needed to go.
17:59.372 --> 18:06.995
[SPEAKER_02]: And then by the time you get to that ending, it felt like single white female because Dakota Johnson is now trying to go ahead and take her rarity's identity.
18:07.355 --> 18:07.915
[SPEAKER_02]: And my way.
18:08.315 --> 18:10.877
[SPEAKER_02]: this is what I thought Josh because I didn't read the book.
18:11.158 --> 18:26.491
[SPEAKER_02]: So my first initial thought was like is she going to kill this woman off and then she's going to take Verity's name and she becomes the writer for Verity and just to write Verity books be like a cover song artist for her.
18:26.551 --> 18:30.534
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I had thought after before the plot twist happened.
18:30.754 --> 18:33.277
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like this is becoming single wife's female to me.
18:33.757 --> 18:37.960
[SPEAKER_00]: So, so I would compare this movie to eating food that you don't commonly eat.
18:38.220 --> 18:40.362
[SPEAKER_00]: If you, if you are, I'm okay.
18:40.462 --> 18:41.342
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't drink alcohol.
18:41.502 --> 18:58.034
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't,
19:02.917 --> 19:06.060
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the movie varity was definitely an acquired taste.
19:06.140 --> 19:17.409
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think this was a film that you could walk into blindly without understanding the source material because then you wouldn't have anything to look forward to.
19:17.730 --> 19:22.834
[SPEAKER_00]: I, because I review movies and react to movies like, I'm not a Star Wars fan at all.
19:23.354 --> 19:25.136
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that over, you're telling me that.
19:25.256 --> 19:26.897
[SPEAKER_02]: I remember actually giving you a list of,
19:27.983 --> 19:30.144
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the Star Wars to try and get you into that.
19:30.264 --> 19:31.465
[SPEAKER_02]: And I remember what telling me that.
19:31.825 --> 19:36.829
[SPEAKER_00]: But it, so when Star Wars come out with a film, it is not a good film.
19:37.209 --> 19:38.690
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, hey, that film look cool.
19:38.710 --> 19:42.372
[SPEAKER_00]: We had lights and savers and action sequences.
19:42.672 --> 19:47.715
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't get why y'all hated, but somebody that's a family will be like, no, they're missing this, this and this.
19:47.955 --> 19:49.897
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, well, it just look like a good movie to me.
19:50.017 --> 19:51.618
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is the exact same,
19:52.158 --> 20:16.575
[SPEAKER_00]: scenario with varity because you're not familiar with the source material and varity is definitely a community of people and it's it's sad to say it's it's heavy women right it's heavy women um I wouldn't even call it really smart but it does have some some some intimate romance in it and a lot of women enjoy smart in their books and I enjoy reading smart is why I got it to the book but
20:20.598 --> 20:26.421
[SPEAKER_00]: And I hate to say this as a man, if you're a man, it's specially absent of knowing the social material.
20:27.041 --> 20:30.282
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys just won't, you won't get it.
20:30.382 --> 20:37.005
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the moment they walked into that, the moment she saw him on that couch and walked into that room, I gasped in the movie theater.
20:37.305 --> 20:39.947
[SPEAKER_00]: Like a female, I was like, they didn't do the couch scene.
20:41.187 --> 20:44.569
[SPEAKER_00]: If they went to rush through, I was like, no, that's not the couching.
20:44.589 --> 20:48.892
[SPEAKER_00]: That was all to start doing it, and I had reactions to it.
20:48.952 --> 20:52.414
[SPEAKER_00]: If you went to have a reaction to it, because you're not familiar with the source material.
20:52.434 --> 20:54.455
[SPEAKER_00]: So you definitely have it up.
20:56.676 --> 20:59.380
[SPEAKER_00]: a lower response to the film.
21:00.041 --> 21:01.343
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't surprise me.
21:02.043 --> 21:05.208
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not as disappointed as I thought I would be as a man.
21:05.248 --> 21:08.092
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm disappointed because I'm like, come on fellas, we've written a thing on.
21:08.132 --> 21:09.333
[SPEAKER_02]: Bring on the guilty, right?
21:09.433 --> 21:10.134
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, come on.
21:10.194 --> 21:11.536
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to bring on the guilty.
21:11.576 --> 21:12.698
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to bring on the fact.
21:12.718 --> 21:12.878
[SPEAKER_00]: That was
21:12.878 --> 21:13.779
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to see this thing.
21:13.799 --> 21:16.601
[SPEAKER_00]: We haven't said to have, that's probably the secondest movie.
21:17.081 --> 21:21.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, man, this was what I'm going to say to this.
21:21.525 --> 21:30.772
[SPEAKER_00]: The intimate scenes was definitely underwhelming of the one, the one bathtub scene with the coat of Johnson, beautifully shot.
21:31.272 --> 21:34.555
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that scene definitely had some class to it.
21:34.675 --> 21:36.617
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't boger, it wasn't too graphic.
21:37.137 --> 21:50.881
[SPEAKER_00]: They definitely did that with some respect to the the actress and the audience watching, but it could have been just a little bit spicier, which I think audiences who aren't familiar with variety would have leaned towards.
21:51.381 --> 21:54.202
[SPEAKER_00]: I was definitely expecting this film to do bigger numbers.
21:54.422 --> 21:59.344
[SPEAKER_00]: They have a bigger reaction than housemate, because housemate did hundreds of millions of dollars.
21:59.724 --> 22:00.864
[SPEAKER_00]: Women went crazy for that film.
22:01.144 --> 22:02.625
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, I remember when I came out.
22:03.185 --> 22:04.927
[SPEAKER_00]: How have made came out earlier this year, right?
22:05.328 --> 22:17.723
[SPEAKER_02]: And you see, I wanted this, I was rooting for this movie to be honest with you because in half of the ways it's knocked it out in the park with Devil's Rare product too, even with the Christopher Nolan movie that just came out as well.
22:17.743 --> 22:20.367
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, and you know, in and of Oak Street.
22:20.667 --> 22:20.867
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
22:20.907 --> 22:21.348
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
22:21.408 --> 22:22.809
[SPEAKER_02]: Those were the my top tears.
22:23.189 --> 22:30.554
[SPEAKER_02]: This one doesn't even move the needle at all and I really wanted it to move the needle and I never go in here's the thing.
22:30.674 --> 22:31.875
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to talk to my audience too.
22:31.975 --> 22:34.597
[SPEAKER_02]: I never go into a movie wanting this movie to suck.
22:34.717 --> 22:39.801
[SPEAKER_02]: I always look for something positive to say about something even if I might not enjoy it.
22:39.881 --> 22:46.306
[SPEAKER_02]: I still try to find something I like and the only thing I liked was the cinematography performances by Josh Hardnet.
22:46.908 --> 23:03.810
[SPEAKER_02]: and half the way, Dakota Johnson, not so much, but, you know, not so much, she was so beautiful and well acted in this movie man, I just didn't feel anything, but then again, that's because of the fact of how they brought her and Josh Hartnett into this.
23:04.502 --> 23:07.664
[SPEAKER_02]: is probably why I didn't really get that chemistry beginning.
23:07.684 --> 23:10.126
[SPEAKER_01]: But in that case, the book though.
23:10.186 --> 23:12.247
[SPEAKER_02]: I understand, I understand, I got you, I got you.
23:12.587 --> 23:15.229
[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, though, I do like the little boy.
23:15.509 --> 23:21.393
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought the little boy did a really good job in this movie, I'm very, he was creepy, but not like you said, not creepy enough.
23:21.753 --> 23:23.795
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted him to be like pet cemetery creepy.
23:24.195 --> 23:40.242
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what you were definitely going to the wrong move I thought this was going to be I thought this is going to be in half the way I'm trying to kill the trifling person that Josh Arnets character hired and it was become become a slasher film by the end of the movie
23:41.353 --> 23:48.643
[SPEAKER_00]: So you, so you are really going with, um, you were thinking more the crush or swim fan.
23:49.284 --> 23:50.526
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, that was the cradle.
23:50.967 --> 23:53.711
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, where we're, we're wanting to win it is just a cycle.
23:53.891 --> 23:55.614
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's basically what I was going for.
23:56.114 --> 24:14.720
[SPEAKER_00]: Now this was this was this was more this was more I want to say house made man this was more house made but this is more house made but the woman coming to finish her writing through off her plans she was trying her and her caretaker had a more close relationship than the movie that on
24:15.495 --> 24:19.896
[SPEAKER_00]: I got so I'm sorry that I'm pissed off that you disappointed.
24:19.916 --> 24:23.597
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pissed off that you were like, I wanted to Like I wanted to walk this way.
24:24.157 --> 24:27.678
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't say I was blown away like, oh my god, it's great It's moving in the history.
24:28.118 --> 24:39.961
[SPEAKER_00]: I was definitely satisfied and there are a lot of people online especially fans of the book that aren't satisfied Okay, that's been reading those comments so a lot of people aren't satisfied but a lot of people like Josh Spring
24:40.923 --> 24:44.844
[SPEAKER_00]: We're definitely satisfied, like definitely satisfied.
24:44.904 --> 24:46.564
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad that you, this movie worked for you.
24:46.584 --> 24:47.525
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm happy for you.
24:47.745 --> 24:56.087
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm always root for people that love something that I didn't, because it gives me a chance to actually root for a movie that I may not like, you know?
24:56.527 --> 25:00.548
[SPEAKER_02]: And just because I didn't like it, doesn't mean everybody else should like it or anything, as movies are subjective.
25:01.028 --> 25:01.248
[SPEAKER_02]: And...
25:01.848 --> 25:02.708
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, as well.
25:03.489 --> 25:06.009
[SPEAKER_00]: It's definitely, and I think it came out at the perfect time.
25:06.029 --> 25:12.971
[SPEAKER_00]: And if we're to not be dominating the movie theaters right now, it may phase out very soon because it was competing with Tom Cruiser's Digger.
25:13.471 --> 25:18.793
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think Digger is going to be the number one box office movie this, this goes around for this.
25:18.933 --> 25:20.294
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's going to be varity.
25:20.534 --> 25:21.875
[SPEAKER_00]: I think varity is going to be digger.
25:21.895 --> 25:23.776
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Tom Cruise is somewhat punching the hell.
25:24.157 --> 25:34.283
[SPEAKER_00]: So for it to come out with digger and nothing like it around and for it to be underwhelming, especially with Anne Halfway, attached to it, because the summer has belonged to her.
25:34.624 --> 25:34.884
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
25:35.504 --> 25:36.825
[SPEAKER_00]: It sucks, man.
25:36.905 --> 25:38.046
[SPEAKER_00]: It definitely sucks, man.
25:38.086 --> 25:40.267
[SPEAKER_00]: I was hoping this move blew people minds.
25:40.468 --> 25:42.369
[SPEAKER_00]: And I hoping it blew my mind.
25:42.969 --> 25:44.851
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I'm very satisfied.
25:44.911 --> 25:46.572
[SPEAKER_00]: I definitely will encourage people.
25:47.092 --> 25:51.595
[SPEAKER_00]: to go see the film and experience it for yourself and have your own opinion.
25:52.236 --> 26:02.143
[SPEAKER_00]: I would just tell you to quail your expectations and don't compare it to anything you think you've seen before like it's his own standalone film and it has a different twist to it.
26:02.163 --> 26:02.663
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
26:02.683 --> 26:04.284
[SPEAKER_00]: I just wish you a steam of your man.
26:04.404 --> 26:05.185
[SPEAKER_00]: It has me too.
26:05.565 --> 26:06.266
[SPEAKER_02]: Because here's the thing.
26:06.326 --> 26:07.547
[SPEAKER_02]: I was in singing the theater.
26:07.567 --> 26:11.850
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, I'm looking at my own stuff and like, yeah, I'm not getting excited here.
26:14.532 --> 26:17.014
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to have that public to know about it.
26:17.094 --> 26:17.935
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right.
26:18.215 --> 26:18.596
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
26:18.616 --> 26:22.119
[SPEAKER_02]: You want to release cover your popcorn and try to cover yourself up.
26:23.200 --> 26:25.262
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, man.
26:25.943 --> 26:26.623
[SPEAKER_02]: But not, man.
26:27.084 --> 26:30.527
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm going to think of this at least a 2 out of 5 for me for this one.
26:30.877 --> 26:32.798
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, well, my name is Josh Pray.
26:33.218 --> 26:34.519
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm movie lovers unite.
26:34.599 --> 26:38.802
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm definitely giving it a 4.2 out of 5.
26:38.982 --> 26:41.183
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish it was steamy of everything else.
26:41.223 --> 26:41.944
[SPEAKER_00]: I was okay with it.
26:41.964 --> 26:45.726
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish the score, which is irrelevant, unless you're like a movie girl or a movie critic.
26:46.406 --> 26:50.769
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish the score was just a little bit more passionate and match the tone of some of the scenes in the film.
26:51.129 --> 26:53.810
[SPEAKER_00]: But outside of that, go see it, I encourage it.
26:54.151 --> 26:57.933
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll definitely buy somebody a movie ticket to get their opinion about it.
26:58.133 --> 26:58.433
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
26:58.853 --> 27:00.814
[SPEAKER_02]: Well guys, tell us in the comments below.
27:00.874 --> 27:03.094

27:03.114 --> 27:06.755

27:23.659 --> 27:24.019
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
27:24.039 --> 27:24.959
[SPEAKER_00]: Do I appreciate you?
27:24.999 --> 27:27.200

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we're going to do it.
27:31.883 --> 27:33.084
[SPEAKER_00]: Street Fighter's coming out this month, right?
27:33.304 --> 27:34.485
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's coming out this month.
27:34.825 --> 27:35.466
[SPEAKER_02]: Or is it the 16th?
27:35.506 --> 27:37.908
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's on the 16th of this month.
27:38.417 --> 27:41.919
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so we got to do Street Fighter and if anything else pops up, please.
27:41.960 --> 27:43.200
[SPEAKER_00]: Play fans at the end of the month.
27:43.441 --> 27:45.502
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so let's do it.
27:45.602 --> 27:46.323
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's make it right.
27:46.863 --> 27:47.804
[SPEAKER_00]: Moving love is unite.

27:49.445 --> 27:49.985
[SPEAKER_00]: Love you too, bro.
27:50.045 --> 27:51.126
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be back forever.
27:51.426 --> 27:51.886
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, man.
27:52.187 --> 27:52.507
[SPEAKER_02]: Peace.
27:52.867 --> 27:53.688
[SPEAKER_00]: Later, man.
27:53.728 --> 27:54.908
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, guys.
27:55.029 --> 27:58.491
[SPEAKER_02]: That's Josh Pray and we're going to be out, and I hope everyone has a great safe night.
00:02.065 --> 00:04.447
[SPEAKER_01]: a record you played until you wore it out.
00:05.007 --> 00:07.689
[SPEAKER_01]: A movie you knew each and every line too.
00:08.169 --> 00:10.691
[SPEAKER_01]: A toy you couldn't wait to show your friends.
00:11.372 --> 00:17.616
[SPEAKER_01]: And that one snack that tastes just as good as when you snuck it into the movie theater at 12 years old.
00:18.237 --> 00:20.458
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm Brian Colburn, and I'm Jay Sweet.
00:20.839 --> 00:22.880
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is the room we wanted.
00:23.440 --> 00:27.864
[SPEAKER_01]: A show about the people we were, before we became the people we are.
00:28.484 --> 00:32.025
[SPEAKER_01]: On the room we wanted, we're not just asking, hey, remember this?
00:32.545 --> 00:36.667
[SPEAKER_01]: Instead, we're asking, why did this matter so much?
00:37.267 --> 00:39.548
[SPEAKER_01]: And does it still matter now?
00:40.308 --> 00:46.970
[SPEAKER_01]: Each episode our roommate reveals four childhood obsessions that as adults tell a much bigger story.
00:47.730 --> 00:52.312
[SPEAKER_01]: The room we wanted, who you were, before you became who you are.
00:52.812 --> 00:55.893
[SPEAKER_01]: Subscribe now wherever you listen to podcasts.
00:57.480 --> 01:04.738
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're wondering when you should take a bath and break your infertility, honestly any time, you can leave for five minutes come back and feel like you didn't miss a damn thing.
01:05.172 --> 01:10.333
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's a problem for our movie that's supposed to keep you going and guessing until it's a big plot twist.
01:10.614 --> 01:12.474
[SPEAKER_02]: And halfway in Josh Arnett, bringing it.
01:12.834 --> 01:18.416
[SPEAKER_02]: But can you see my plan riding in predictable romance for our movie that takes a way way too long to get it going.
01:18.616 --> 01:20.036
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's talk for Arnett.
01:20.276 --> 01:21.737
[SPEAKER_02]: And hey Josh, welcome back man.
01:21.797 --> 01:22.417
[SPEAKER_02]: It's good to see you.
01:22.437 --> 01:23.457
[SPEAKER_02]: You're going to have you back on.
01:24.037 --> 01:27.478
[SPEAKER_00]: So as you taste, you know, I heard you win in South Verde.
01:27.638 --> 01:30.379
[SPEAKER_00]: I need to know your thoughts because I'm pretty sure we're going to completely disagree.
01:30.759 --> 01:39.125
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we're going to have some disagreements, but I think at the end of the day and everything we're still going to be friends at the end of this podcast, but uh, here's the thing, man.
01:39.165 --> 01:46.650
[SPEAKER_02]: I went into this because of the suspense because of the plot because they promised a big huge plot twist in the trailer.
01:47.231 --> 01:51.974
[SPEAKER_02]: I loved Anne Hathaway's performance, even though she's knocking out of the park this year with the movie, so she's been in.
01:52.955 --> 01:54.016
[SPEAKER_02]: Josh Harney brings it.
01:54.056 --> 01:55.557
[SPEAKER_02]: I really loved his performance.
01:56.102 --> 02:01.447
[SPEAKER_02]: Dakota Johnson is really she really missed the mark for me as far as this movie goes.
02:02.168 --> 02:15.640
[SPEAKER_02]: I just felt like it was very wouldn't it was very they're writing for this first very bland and okay I just wanted a little bit more but you can definitely tell they're trying their best to do with a bland script with this movie but uh tell me what your thoughts are.
02:16.001 --> 02:16.882
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you read the book?
02:17.382 --> 02:18.984
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I never read the book or anything.
02:19.004 --> 02:23.209
[SPEAKER_00]: I just went into it watching, but you went into it.
02:23.309 --> 02:26.713
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm seeing the trailers read this and not just have an idea, right?
02:27.313 --> 02:29.315
[SPEAKER_00]: So I did a review for the movie.
02:29.396 --> 02:34.181
[SPEAKER_00]: I did a reaction and I even said, I said, all movie critics, I need you to stay away from this movie.
02:34.541 --> 02:35.843
[SPEAKER_00]: I need all film critics.
02:36.083 --> 02:38.805
[SPEAKER_00]: to stay away from this movie, unless you read the book, right?
02:40.107 --> 02:40.827
[SPEAKER_00]: I read the book.
02:40.987 --> 02:54.259
[SPEAKER_00]: So I read the last year, maybe two years ago, but I wanted to say I read the last year and there were some, there was a few missing points from the book, but it was almost page for page identical to the book.
02:54.599 --> 02:57.642
[SPEAKER_00]: So any book reader or book lover, we may not have had any,
02:57.822 --> 03:06.666
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything, but we were excited and it hit every single mark in everybody that played the characters in the book brought them to life on the screen.
03:06.706 --> 03:09.847
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you did it, get to read the book.
03:09.907 --> 03:11.668
[SPEAKER_00]: You just said something about Dakota Johnson.
03:11.788 --> 03:14.810
[SPEAKER_00]: She played her role perfectly.
03:14.850 --> 03:17.010
[SPEAKER_00]: She was in the entire movie.
03:17.050 --> 03:21.572
[SPEAKER_00]: She probably played the role as close to the book as any character in the movie.
03:21.793 --> 03:22.233
[SPEAKER_00]: The worst.
03:23.108 --> 03:46.941
[SPEAKER_00]: person was probably Josh Hartman, I like Josh Hartman as an actor, I think he looked right in the film, I think he was a handsome guy, I think he appealed to women 30 to 55 years old could Josh Hartman character have been and his name he's escaping me, he's the one guy he's in euphoria, he was in the movie with
03:47.761 --> 03:48.861
[SPEAKER_02]: He was also in the faculty.
03:48.901 --> 03:52.242
[SPEAKER_00]: He was also, and now I'm not talking about John's heart anymore.
03:52.262 --> 04:00.964
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm saying the guy that should probably, the guy, women probably wanted to be John's heart and his character was in the show.
04:01.484 --> 04:05.325
[SPEAKER_00]: He was in the movie with, no, no, my gosh, he is.
04:05.365 --> 04:06.225
[SPEAKER_00]: He is so fine.
04:06.325 --> 04:07.725
[SPEAKER_00]: He was like four different white women.
04:09.126 --> 04:10.826
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a timepiece period.
04:11.546 --> 04:12.067
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, okay.
04:12.428 --> 04:13.650
[SPEAKER_00]: She was in the woofer wall stream.
04:13.710 --> 04:14.371
[SPEAKER_00]: What's the lady name?
04:14.731 --> 04:15.853
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I'm Margarabi.
04:16.394 --> 04:17.736
[SPEAKER_00]: Margarabi's lady's family.
04:17.756 --> 04:18.678
[SPEAKER_00]: She played a period piece.
04:19.940 --> 04:20.961
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't think of it on hand.
04:21.181 --> 04:21.922
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my God.
04:22.222 --> 04:29.769
[SPEAKER_00]: But that movie that people wanted him to play Josh Hartman's character because he's young and he's handsome and he's exciting to me.
04:29.989 --> 04:35.714
[SPEAKER_00]: The film did a phenomenal job of replicating the book in his entirety.
04:36.875 --> 04:44.702
[SPEAKER_00]: The only thing is the book is way creepier because the book gave more details about some of the things like you being a movie seeer.
04:45.582 --> 04:52.446
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a scene where the couple were Josh Martin's character in Dakota, Johnson character, they're supposed to start having sex on the couch.
04:52.826 --> 04:53.346
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
04:53.366 --> 04:59.670
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you read the book, when in Hathaway's character, very walks into the room, it's creepy.
04:59.930 --> 05:03.692
[SPEAKER_00]: It's almost those like in the movie, it happened too fast.
05:03.812 --> 05:13.857
[SPEAKER_00]: So the build-up, this suspense, it was the movie should have been a little bit more eerie, it should have almost been like in Hathaway's character was the ghost.
05:15.043 --> 05:19.266
[SPEAKER_02]: So there should have been like a little bit more of a slower pace as far as that scene will go.
05:19.346 --> 05:19.606
[SPEAKER_02]: Right?
05:19.646 --> 05:25.811
[SPEAKER_00]: The entire movie, like the entire book has until the layers appeal don't have way through the book.
05:25.891 --> 05:30.014
[SPEAKER_00]: The book almost has a possessed area miss to it.
05:30.094 --> 05:33.317
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there's some ghost or demonic entity going on.
05:33.637 --> 05:34.698
[SPEAKER_00]: The movie didn't give that.
05:34.758 --> 05:39.901
[SPEAKER_00]: This movie gave more of a theater lifetime version movie.
05:40.002 --> 05:40.302
[SPEAKER_00]: I gotcha.
05:40.682 --> 05:52.850
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think if you look at that trend, if you look at the trailer, you probably expected that you probably expected more suspense, more, I was expecting, I'll be real with you.
05:52.870 --> 05:53.790
[SPEAKER_02]: I love the trailer.
05:53.810 --> 06:04.157
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought they did a really good job of setting up the trailer and explain to us, like Dakota Johnson places struggling, Arthur, who's trying to get noticed, and she doesn't get noticed.
06:04.177 --> 06:05.818
[SPEAKER_02]: No one's really buying her books.
06:05.838 --> 06:08.460
[SPEAKER_02]: If you have an pathway who is the more successful Arthur,
06:09.020 --> 06:31.872
[SPEAKER_02]: who is actually on the rise of fame and she is in the rise of fame and now it's up to Dakota's Johnson's character try and write me a ghost writer for and have the ways character so that's what I was initially what I liked was that set up and they deliver on that set up is just that I felt like the movie moved a little too slow for me
06:32.312 --> 06:37.975
[SPEAKER_00]: because you and the other reason I said that is because you did it read the book see to me the movie moved too fast.
06:38.375 --> 06:46.140
[SPEAKER_00]: I was I was ready for them to delve into like how means she were she was according to the manuscript to her children.
06:46.580 --> 06:51.743
[SPEAKER_00]: And the same where where she goes into the room to suffocate the kids.
06:52.103 --> 06:57.626
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm I'm going to go out on the limb and say that scene may have been re-edited.
06:58.226 --> 07:03.914
[SPEAKER_00]: because of the Lindsey Clancy trial and everything that's going on with that in the situation of course.
07:03.934 --> 07:09.442
[SPEAKER_02]: I was actually getting that kind of vibe from it to be honest with you with that kind of vibe for the Lindsey Clancy case.
07:09.810 --> 07:17.431
[SPEAKER_00]: But so in the book, in the book, it's way more not violent, but it's way more like, oh my God, she's not gonna kill these kids.
07:17.831 --> 07:23.192
[SPEAKER_00]: Like in the book, it talks about how she put the pillow over and tried to suffocate it and had to pull back.
07:23.412 --> 07:30.494
[SPEAKER_00]: The movie, I felt they took some stuff out because of the real world implications of it.
07:30.734 --> 07:37.995
[SPEAKER_00]: And they didn't wanna go that far, but if they would've made you literally hate,
07:38.475 --> 07:59.543
[SPEAKER_00]: and feel creepy about Anne Hathaway's character because throughout the book and your reading it, you hate her until you get to the back end of that book and you're like, wait, wait a minute, this is the twist and when you go through that plot twist in the movie, it happened at the end and it was over and the book, it made you sit with that for some sharpness.
08:00.983 --> 08:15.714
[SPEAKER_02]: And it gives you right because as a book reader, it gives you that whole entire thing of okay the attention is now gone and now you have to sit with that ending just a process what you just read but but it didn't like that in a book you literally ran through that
08:16.414 --> 08:21.916
[SPEAKER_00]: Not the manuscript she read through the whole movie, but that little notes she found, the book, it amplified it.
08:21.936 --> 08:24.237
[SPEAKER_00]: So you sat through that with chapters and it dreaded.
08:24.297 --> 08:26.077
[SPEAKER_00]: And it made Josh Martin's character.
08:26.517 --> 08:27.878
[SPEAKER_00]: You looked at him differently.
08:27.918 --> 08:29.338
[SPEAKER_00]: You didn't look at him as a savior.
08:29.418 --> 08:31.159
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was just a heartbroken dad.
08:31.199 --> 08:34.340
[SPEAKER_00]: You looked at him as Vindigilvin, him a nigh away.
08:34.360 --> 08:36.481
[SPEAKER_00]: He knew what he was doing, the entire movie.
08:36.781 --> 08:40.042
[SPEAKER_00]: The movie almost made you feel bad for him.
08:40.282 --> 08:42.563
[SPEAKER_00]: Even after he discovered the manuscript.
08:42.663 --> 08:44.844
[SPEAKER_02]: You see, I even felt that though, too, at the end of it,
08:46.324 --> 08:51.345
[SPEAKER_02]: his character was very vindictive on a very manipulative and I got that out of it.
08:51.684 --> 08:51.924
[SPEAKER_02]: too.
08:52.204 --> 08:53.945
[SPEAKER_02]: I really, um, and also too.
08:54.365 --> 08:59.388
[SPEAKER_02]: She's Dakota Johnson's also trying to take basically rareties identity in a sense.
08:59.468 --> 09:01.949
[SPEAKER_00]: If she wasn't that much of a bitch in the book, no.
09:02.590 --> 09:05.971
[SPEAKER_00]: Like in the book, she was just like, oh my gosh, I want to save things.
09:06.032 --> 09:09.693
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to be the savior of these things and there he such a evil woman.
09:10.114 --> 09:14.456
[SPEAKER_00]: This movie made her seem like she envied very, very.
09:14.716 --> 09:16.377
[SPEAKER_00]: And she wanted her man from the jump.
09:16.517 --> 09:17.457
[SPEAKER_00]: When in the book, it
09:18.558 --> 09:25.544
[SPEAKER_02]: It just happens to be that they run this predicament together where she's in this thing where she has to write this book and it just has to be there.
09:25.744 --> 09:26.044
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
09:26.404 --> 09:27.345
[SPEAKER_00]: Now far as the wolf.
09:27.665 --> 09:28.166
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I'm sorry.
09:28.606 --> 09:34.651
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because even in the very start of this movie where they witness someone, someone getting hit by a car and there's blood on her.
09:35.151 --> 09:37.894
[SPEAKER_02]: It has like a very 50 shades of gray kind of vibe with it.
09:38.274 --> 09:47.742
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you see Josh Hornet there and then after that he pops up again in the meeting, I'm like, this is too much like 50 shades of gray right here.
09:48.422 --> 09:48.903
[SPEAKER_02]: I get it.
09:49.403 --> 09:52.767
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, and from a movie standpoint, I know I keep talking about the book from a movie.
09:52.787 --> 09:53.568
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, it's fine.
09:53.588 --> 09:55.330
[SPEAKER_02]: I like your perspective on that.
09:55.630 --> 09:57.533
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought the cinematography was great.
09:58.013 --> 09:59.995
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought the lighting, the scenes were great.
10:00.376 --> 10:03.719
[SPEAKER_00]: The weakest part, the weakest part of the entire film, and my opinion.
10:04.360 --> 10:05.160
[SPEAKER_00]: was the score.
10:05.321 --> 10:08.722
[SPEAKER_00]: The score and those type of movies and films makes the movie.
10:09.142 --> 10:09.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
10:09.783 --> 10:19.688
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you have a passionate score during the love making scenes or when it's thunder and lightning, when when the character is curious or at the mysterious, the score is extremely important.
10:20.308 --> 10:27.352
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought the score was a little underwhelming, but if you take that away, I love everything out about the movie.
10:27.772 --> 10:28.892
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was sexy.
10:29.072 --> 10:31.694
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought the intimate scenes were unpassionate.
10:34.195 --> 10:39.700
[SPEAKER_00]: been a little bit more HBO 1996 after midnight.
10:40.281 --> 10:40.521
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
10:40.842 --> 10:47.928
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt like they were really softening a lot of it, where as 50 shades are great, or 365 days, or, um, house made,
10:52.973 --> 10:57.817
[SPEAKER_00]: We're sitting and swinging, they gave adults what we wanted, like sex runs ramp it.
10:58.178 --> 11:04.763
[SPEAKER_00]: So give us something softer, but just investing it just a little bit more for...
11:04.883 --> 11:06.164
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like...
11:06.304 --> 11:08.146
[SPEAKER_02]: I get what you're coming from, and I also want to say this.
11:08.166 --> 11:10.568
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought the swimming target was really good with this as well.
11:10.948 --> 11:13.050
[SPEAKER_02]: The lighting and stuff was really good in it as well.
11:13.070 --> 11:14.311
[SPEAKER_02]: That's something else I want to mention.
11:14.831 --> 11:18.054
[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, we also mentioned the whole entire tension of it.
11:19.647 --> 11:22.929
[SPEAKER_02]: And I just wish that some of the sexual scenes were a lot more intense.
11:23.589 --> 11:29.292
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, you know, where you can actually feel that hotness between the lead, right?
11:29.332 --> 11:34.955
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I wanted because even with the scoring, like you said, it will take you out of it.
11:35.155 --> 11:38.637
[SPEAKER_02]: Because it doesn't amplify anything that's going on on the screen at all.
11:39.237 --> 11:44.960
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I didn't really feel the connection between Dakota Johnson and also Josh Hartnets' character.
11:45.180 --> 11:45.460
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
11:45.880 --> 11:51.243
[SPEAKER_00]: I think as adults, when we go to movies like this, we know it will walk it into, of course, we don't want them to be pornographic.
11:51.643 --> 11:58.966
[SPEAKER_00]: But when you walk into a film like this, and if I'm with a woman in the film, I'm sorry, in the movie theater, and it seems comes on.
11:59.286 --> 12:03.969
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanted to be so passionate that we both get slightly uncomfortable like, oh my gosh,
12:06.810 --> 12:31.685
[SPEAKER_00]: tension in the theater for us, um, I think they, I think they did a good job and I'm not into paying King's or anything like that, but I think they did a good job of like the little Biden, um, I didn't need to see as much blood, but like the Biden of the little or the Biden of the headboard, I'm like, okay, this is what I read, but it was still missing that I want to take what I read and experience it with my partner real life, um,
12:31.925 --> 12:49.583
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think the reason to is it already established their connection at the very beginning had they just got away from that part and just focused in on the meeting itself and then build it up towards that and like George Hardin be like this shadow and the dark kind of thing up watching this writer.
12:50.123 --> 13:05.615
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and letting it build that way of like I'm into you, but I don't want to show that I'm into you because I'm married But I'm trying to save my marriage, but I'm not trying to be with you and then you can be the seductress of not And where you're trying to not I'm trying to avoid this guy, but you can't because you're in this house
13:06.257 --> 13:16.243
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, and then when the sex scenes happen, then it creates that whole entire intense moments like we mentioned when you actually feel hot for teacher in a sense, but it's like you feel hot.
13:16.743 --> 13:20.626
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, I think you went from smoking a cigarette to trying to have sex with it.
13:20.666 --> 13:24.368
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, yeah, this is like, it just that skip too much.
13:24.568 --> 13:26.209
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's me, that's me being critical.
13:27.510 --> 13:28.771
[SPEAKER_00]: I was a fan of the film.
13:28.971 --> 13:31.192
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm definitely gonna go see it twice.
13:32.553 --> 13:48.374
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I like the passion, I like the, it didn't have, this film wasn't supposed to have a message, this film was never really supposed to leave you feeling like, oh my gosh, they murdered an innocent person like something really went down.
13:49.235 --> 13:51.876
[SPEAKER_00]: It didn't, it didn't leave you feeling guilty.
13:52.116 --> 13:54.116
[SPEAKER_00]: It just, to me, it made me feel like I'm happy.
13:54.156 --> 14:06.739
[SPEAKER_00]: I watched it, but when I went to saw the housemate, the housemate stuck with me because I'm like, damn, the dude was like, he, he, he, he, he coars different women to come in this house, he was abusive.
14:06.999 --> 14:08.220
[SPEAKER_00]: We was against him.
14:08.260 --> 14:11.320
[SPEAKER_00]: We wanted the women to, to defeat him and win, hurt him.
14:11.560 --> 14:13.841
[SPEAKER_00]: The sex was super passionate, so we could see why the women were
14:18.023 --> 14:20.080
[SPEAKER_00]: Point where you didn't.
14:20.898 --> 14:22.058
[SPEAKER_00]: You weren't against him.
14:22.378 --> 14:28.519
[SPEAKER_00]: With Verity, the book, you were against Verity, the entire book, and you weren't.
14:28.979 --> 14:40.161
[SPEAKER_00]: In this film, you kind of rooted against Dakota Johnson because you didn't want us stepping in and just being a young, tempted writer trying to come up.
14:40.221 --> 14:42.842
[SPEAKER_00]: So you never really were able to light support her.
14:43.142 --> 14:47.043
[SPEAKER_02]: You see, I actually felt like I was rooting for Josh Hartnett.
14:47.423 --> 14:49.123
[SPEAKER_02]: I was really rooting for the husband.
14:49.963 --> 15:06.310
[SPEAKER_02]: because Jimmy Crawford and the reason why is because of how they set that up is sending him up to be like the hero who's being abused by this woman by verity who doesn't want any kids or anything and she even says in her whole entire documentation of life.
15:07.260 --> 15:10.682
[SPEAKER_02]: I find this is a burden to me because of the fact I'm pregnant with twins.
15:11.023 --> 15:12.123
[SPEAKER_02]: I do not want twins.
15:12.204 --> 15:19.769
[SPEAKER_02]: Even though Jeremy is making me feel like I'm woman enough and beautiful enough, it's still not enough because I just want him.
15:19.789 --> 15:22.451
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want kids too, but the book.
15:23.051 --> 15:26.552
[SPEAKER_00]: The book made her more selfish and jealous.
15:26.652 --> 15:31.294
[SPEAKER_00]: In this film, this film was more like childish.
15:31.694 --> 15:33.775
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, oh, I want to pay attention to me.
15:34.155 --> 15:40.437
[SPEAKER_00]: But the book, you really got that sense from the first time you read about Verity, like, oh my gosh.
15:40.477 --> 15:42.378
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, she's just a selfish jealous.
15:42.778 --> 15:44.539
[SPEAKER_00]: I want all the praise type woman.
15:45.199 --> 15:46.939
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, again, I want to say it.
15:47.220 --> 15:48.120
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the film.
15:48.820 --> 15:53.263
[SPEAKER_00]: I just wish they would have vilified her just a lot more.
15:53.283 --> 15:54.223
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't say a little bit more.
15:54.243 --> 15:56.824
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say would have vilified her a lot more.
15:57.465 --> 16:05.089
[SPEAKER_00]: And I wish they would have softened the coat of Johnson's character a little bit more.
16:05.669 --> 16:06.810
[SPEAKER_00]: They see swap that.
16:07.550 --> 16:24.285
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they took advantage of Anne Hathaway's ability to act because there was one scene where she was putting the attack in her hand and just to see, just to see Anne Hathaway's space, her demeanor, the makeup, the lips, her non-reaction.
16:24.626 --> 16:26.207
[SPEAKER_00]: You was like, wow, this woman is like really
16:29.537 --> 16:47.200
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think the filmmakers as well as when they probably contacted Colleen Hoover, the writer of the book, they probably wanted to take advantage of and Hathaway's ability to just beat on screen, but I definitely think they could have made her a bigger villain.
16:47.740 --> 16:52.481
[SPEAKER_00]: And the children aspect of it in the book, the sun is way more creepy.
16:52.661 --> 16:54.521
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's way more like creepy.
16:54.781 --> 16:58.062
[SPEAKER_00]: This movie just made it like, I don't know, my money said don't talk to you.
16:59.302 --> 17:05.646
[SPEAKER_00]: So I can understand how you felt as a person that didn't read the source of material, walking into the film as just a film.
17:05.666 --> 17:08.868
[SPEAKER_00]: I can totally sympathize with you.
17:09.048 --> 17:14.432
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, and you see another thing too is like I understand that they're trying to play into the hand at the ways.
17:15.132 --> 17:20.495
[SPEAKER_02]: I think ability it made her feel like she was in the background and let it have to code a Johnson carried the film.
17:20.535 --> 17:22.196
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how I felt through the whole entire movie.
17:22.516 --> 17:23.957
[SPEAKER_02]: This is not an in-hathaway film.
17:23.977 --> 17:27.139
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a decoded Johnson film to show what acting chops she has.
17:27.479 --> 17:35.203
[SPEAKER_02]: So maybe next time when her PR team goes on ahead and tries to hire for another film, like well, her acting was really good in fairity.
17:35.504 --> 17:36.664
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's put her in more films.
17:36.985 --> 17:41.287
[SPEAKER_02]: It just felt like that she was just the front end and then halfway was in the background.
17:41.667 --> 17:42.447
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's it.
17:42.607 --> 17:48.709
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted more from and even though we got it, we got it like she I thought she was intense.
17:48.829 --> 17:51.090
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought that her acting like that.
17:51.130 --> 17:52.810
[SPEAKER_02]: She's kind of tonic was really good.
17:53.251 --> 17:59.032
[SPEAKER_02]: I really thought that this woman was really being discdictive and that this woman needed to go.
17:59.372 --> 18:06.995
[SPEAKER_02]: And then by the time you get to that ending, it felt like single white female because Dakota Johnson is now trying to go ahead and take her rarity's identity.
18:07.355 --> 18:07.915
[SPEAKER_02]: And my way.
18:08.315 --> 18:10.877
[SPEAKER_02]: this is what I thought Josh because I didn't read the book.
18:11.158 --> 18:26.491
[SPEAKER_02]: So my first initial thought was like is she going to kill this woman off and then she's going to take Verity's name and she becomes the writer for Verity and just to write Verity books be like a cover song artist for her.
18:26.551 --> 18:30.534
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I had thought after before the plot twist happened.
18:30.754 --> 18:33.277
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like this is becoming single wife's female to me.
18:33.757 --> 18:37.960
[SPEAKER_00]: So, so I would compare this movie to eating food that you don't commonly eat.
18:38.220 --> 18:40.362
[SPEAKER_00]: If you, if you are, I'm okay.
18:40.462 --> 18:41.342
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't drink alcohol.
18:41.502 --> 18:58.034
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't,
19:02.917 --> 19:06.060
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the movie varity was definitely an acquired taste.
19:06.140 --> 19:17.409
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think this was a film that you could walk into blindly without understanding the source material because then you wouldn't have anything to look forward to.
19:17.730 --> 19:22.834
[SPEAKER_00]: I, because I review movies and react to movies like, I'm not a Star Wars fan at all.
19:23.354 --> 19:25.136
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that over, you're telling me that.
19:25.256 --> 19:26.897
[SPEAKER_02]: I remember actually giving you a list of,
19:27.983 --> 19:30.144
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the Star Wars to try and get you into that.
19:30.264 --> 19:31.465
[SPEAKER_02]: And I remember what telling me that.
19:31.825 --> 19:36.829
[SPEAKER_00]: But it, so when Star Wars come out with a film, it is not a good film.
19:37.209 --> 19:38.690
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, hey, that film look cool.
19:38.710 --> 19:42.372
[SPEAKER_00]: We had lights and savers and action sequences.
19:42.672 --> 19:47.715
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't get why y'all hated, but somebody that's a family will be like, no, they're missing this, this and this.
19:47.955 --> 19:49.897
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, well, it just look like a good movie to me.
19:50.017 --> 19:51.618
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is the exact same,
19:52.158 --> 20:16.575
[SPEAKER_00]: scenario with varity because you're not familiar with the source material and varity is definitely a community of people and it's it's sad to say it's it's heavy women right it's heavy women um I wouldn't even call it really smart but it does have some some some intimate romance in it and a lot of women enjoy smart in their books and I enjoy reading smart is why I got it to the book but
20:20.598 --> 20:26.421
[SPEAKER_00]: And I hate to say this as a man, if you're a man, it's specially absent of knowing the social material.
20:27.041 --> 20:30.282
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys just won't, you won't get it.
20:30.382 --> 20:37.005
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the moment they walked into that, the moment she saw him on that couch and walked into that room, I gasped in the movie theater.
20:37.305 --> 20:39.947
[SPEAKER_00]: Like a female, I was like, they didn't do the couch scene.
20:41.187 --> 20:44.569
[SPEAKER_00]: If they went to rush through, I was like, no, that's not the couching.
20:44.589 --> 20:48.892
[SPEAKER_00]: That was all to start doing it, and I had reactions to it.
20:48.952 --> 20:52.414
[SPEAKER_00]: If you went to have a reaction to it, because you're not familiar with the source material.
20:52.434 --> 20:54.455
[SPEAKER_00]: So you definitely have it up.
20:56.676 --> 20:59.380
[SPEAKER_00]: a lower response to the film.
21:00.041 --> 21:01.343
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't surprise me.
21:02.043 --> 21:05.208
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not as disappointed as I thought I would be as a man.
21:05.248 --> 21:08.092
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm disappointed because I'm like, come on fellas, we've written a thing on.
21:08.132 --> 21:09.333
[SPEAKER_02]: Bring on the guilty, right?
21:09.433 --> 21:10.134
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, come on.
21:10.194 --> 21:11.536
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to bring on the guilty.
21:11.576 --> 21:12.698
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to bring on the fact.
21:12.718 --> 21:12.878
[SPEAKER_00]: That was
21:12.878 --> 21:13.779
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to see this thing.
21:13.799 --> 21:16.601
[SPEAKER_00]: We haven't said to have, that's probably the secondest movie.
21:17.081 --> 21:21.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, man, this was what I'm going to say to this.
21:21.525 --> 21:30.772
[SPEAKER_00]: The intimate scenes was definitely underwhelming of the one, the one bathtub scene with the coat of Johnson, beautifully shot.
21:31.272 --> 21:34.555
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that scene definitely had some class to it.
21:34.675 --> 21:36.617
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't boger, it wasn't too graphic.
21:37.137 --> 21:50.881
[SPEAKER_00]: They definitely did that with some respect to the the actress and the audience watching, but it could have been just a little bit spicier, which I think audiences who aren't familiar with variety would have leaned towards.
21:51.381 --> 21:54.202
[SPEAKER_00]: I was definitely expecting this film to do bigger numbers.
21:54.422 --> 21:59.344
[SPEAKER_00]: They have a bigger reaction than housemate, because housemate did hundreds of millions of dollars.
21:59.724 --> 22:00.864
[SPEAKER_00]: Women went crazy for that film.
22:01.144 --> 22:02.625
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, I remember when I came out.
22:03.185 --> 22:04.927
[SPEAKER_00]: How have made came out earlier this year, right?
22:05.328 --> 22:17.723
[SPEAKER_02]: And you see, I wanted this, I was rooting for this movie to be honest with you because in half of the ways it's knocked it out in the park with Devil's Rare product too, even with the Christopher Nolan movie that just came out as well.
22:17.743 --> 22:20.367
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, and you know, in and of Oak Street.
22:20.667 --> 22:20.867
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
22:20.907 --> 22:21.348
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
22:21.408 --> 22:22.809
[SPEAKER_02]: Those were the my top tears.
22:23.189 --> 22:30.554
[SPEAKER_02]: This one doesn't even move the needle at all and I really wanted it to move the needle and I never go in here's the thing.
22:30.674 --> 22:31.875
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to talk to my audience too.
22:31.975 --> 22:34.597
[SPEAKER_02]: I never go into a movie wanting this movie to suck.
22:34.717 --> 22:39.801
[SPEAKER_02]: I always look for something positive to say about something even if I might not enjoy it.
22:39.881 --> 22:46.306
[SPEAKER_02]: I still try to find something I like and the only thing I liked was the cinematography performances by Josh Hardnet.
22:46.908 --> 23:03.810
[SPEAKER_02]: and half the way, Dakota Johnson, not so much, but, you know, not so much, she was so beautiful and well acted in this movie man, I just didn't feel anything, but then again, that's because of the fact of how they brought her and Josh Hartnett into this.
23:04.502 --> 23:07.664
[SPEAKER_02]: is probably why I didn't really get that chemistry beginning.
23:07.684 --> 23:10.126
[SPEAKER_01]: But in that case, the book though.
23:10.186 --> 23:12.247
[SPEAKER_02]: I understand, I understand, I got you, I got you.
23:12.587 --> 23:15.229
[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, though, I do like the little boy.
23:15.509 --> 23:21.393
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought the little boy did a really good job in this movie, I'm very, he was creepy, but not like you said, not creepy enough.
23:21.753 --> 23:23.795
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted him to be like pet cemetery creepy.
23:24.195 --> 23:40.242
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what you were definitely going to the wrong move I thought this was going to be I thought this is going to be in half the way I'm trying to kill the trifling person that Josh Arnets character hired and it was become become a slasher film by the end of the movie
23:41.353 --> 23:48.643
[SPEAKER_00]: So you, so you are really going with, um, you were thinking more the crush or swim fan.
23:49.284 --> 23:50.526
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, that was the cradle.
23:50.967 --> 23:53.711
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, where we're, we're wanting to win it is just a cycle.
23:53.891 --> 23:55.614
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's basically what I was going for.
23:56.114 --> 24:14.720
[SPEAKER_00]: Now this was this was this was more this was more I want to say house made man this was more house made but this is more house made but the woman coming to finish her writing through off her plans she was trying her and her caretaker had a more close relationship than the movie that on
24:15.495 --> 24:19.896
[SPEAKER_00]: I got so I'm sorry that I'm pissed off that you disappointed.
24:19.916 --> 24:23.597
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pissed off that you were like, I wanted to Like I wanted to walk this way.
24:24.157 --> 24:27.678
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't say I was blown away like, oh my god, it's great It's moving in the history.
24:28.118 --> 24:39.961
[SPEAKER_00]: I was definitely satisfied and there are a lot of people online especially fans of the book that aren't satisfied Okay, that's been reading those comments so a lot of people aren't satisfied but a lot of people like Josh Spring
24:40.923 --> 24:44.844
[SPEAKER_00]: We're definitely satisfied, like definitely satisfied.
24:44.904 --> 24:46.564
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad that you, this movie worked for you.
24:46.584 --> 24:47.525
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm happy for you.
24:47.745 --> 24:56.087
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm always root for people that love something that I didn't, because it gives me a chance to actually root for a movie that I may not like, you know?
24:56.527 --> 25:00.548
[SPEAKER_02]: And just because I didn't like it, doesn't mean everybody else should like it or anything, as movies are subjective.
25:01.028 --> 25:01.248
[SPEAKER_02]: And...
25:01.848 --> 25:02.708
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, as well.
25:03.489 --> 25:06.009
[SPEAKER_00]: It's definitely, and I think it came out at the perfect time.
25:06.029 --> 25:12.971
[SPEAKER_00]: And if we're to not be dominating the movie theaters right now, it may phase out very soon because it was competing with Tom Cruiser's Digger.
25:13.471 --> 25:18.793
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think Digger is going to be the number one box office movie this, this goes around for this.
25:18.933 --> 25:20.294
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's going to be varity.
25:20.534 --> 25:21.875
[SPEAKER_00]: I think varity is going to be digger.
25:21.895 --> 25:23.776
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Tom Cruise is somewhat punching the hell.
25:24.157 --> 25:34.283
[SPEAKER_00]: So for it to come out with digger and nothing like it around and for it to be underwhelming, especially with Anne Halfway, attached to it, because the summer has belonged to her.
25:34.624 --> 25:34.884
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
25:35.504 --> 25:36.825
[SPEAKER_00]: It sucks, man.
25:36.905 --> 25:38.046
[SPEAKER_00]: It definitely sucks, man.
25:38.086 --> 25:40.267
[SPEAKER_00]: I was hoping this move blew people minds.
25:40.468 --> 25:42.369
[SPEAKER_00]: And I hoping it blew my mind.
25:42.969 --> 25:44.851
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I'm very satisfied.
25:44.911 --> 25:46.572
[SPEAKER_00]: I definitely will encourage people.
25:47.092 --> 25:51.595
[SPEAKER_00]: to go see the film and experience it for yourself and have your own opinion.
25:52.236 --> 26:02.143
[SPEAKER_00]: I would just tell you to quail your expectations and don't compare it to anything you think you've seen before like it's his own standalone film and it has a different twist to it.
26:02.163 --> 26:02.663
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
26:02.683 --> 26:04.284
[SPEAKER_00]: I just wish you a steam of your man.
26:04.404 --> 26:05.185
[SPEAKER_00]: It has me too.
26:05.565 --> 26:06.266
[SPEAKER_02]: Because here's the thing.
26:06.326 --> 26:07.547
[SPEAKER_02]: I was in singing the theater.
26:07.567 --> 26:11.850
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, I'm looking at my own stuff and like, yeah, I'm not getting excited here.
26:14.532 --> 26:17.014
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to have that public to know about it.
26:17.094 --> 26:17.935
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right.
26:18.215 --> 26:18.596
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
26:18.616 --> 26:22.119
[SPEAKER_02]: You want to release cover your popcorn and try to cover yourself up.
26:23.200 --> 26:25.262
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on, man.
26:25.943 --> 26:26.623
[SPEAKER_02]: But not, man.
26:27.084 --> 26:30.527
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm going to think of this at least a 2 out of 5 for me for this one.
26:30.877 --> 26:32.798
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, well, my name is Josh Pray.
26:33.218 --> 26:34.519
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm movie lovers unite.
26:34.599 --> 26:38.802
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm definitely giving it a 4.2 out of 5.
26:38.982 --> 26:41.183
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish it was steamy of everything else.
26:41.223 --> 26:41.944
[SPEAKER_00]: I was okay with it.
26:41.964 --> 26:45.726
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish the score, which is irrelevant, unless you're like a movie girl or a movie critic.
26:46.406 --> 26:50.769
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish the score was just a little bit more passionate and match the tone of some of the scenes in the film.
26:51.129 --> 26:53.810
[SPEAKER_00]: But outside of that, go see it, I encourage it.
26:54.151 --> 26:57.933
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll definitely buy somebody a movie ticket to get their opinion about it.
26:58.133 --> 26:58.433
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
26:58.853 --> 27:00.814
[SPEAKER_02]: Well guys, tell us in the comments below.
