    This is pure over-the-top glaze. It's a decent show with SOME fine actors. The kid was okay, his acting was serviceable, nothing more. While I loved the dark climax, The rest of the last episode was just dumb. A little too neat and convenient. Things just HAPPEN to advance the plot, the villains all became complete idiots, and the crime lords teaming up was just gay. It's a decent show but there's no depth to explore. Collins character is the only one that doesn't come off like a boilerplate writer's room concoction

    One of the best character's ever. Acting, writing, makeup, humour. Everything is golden

    I struggle so much describing how much on a profound level I like this show. Probably because I lack the language, but I also think, that we have so much of trash nowadays that when something is not just good, is great, it takes out breath away, in a sense there is some good in having so much bad shows and cinema, very paradoxical. It is just delightful to see the acting, lighting, writing of this show; I have always liked watching manipulative characters done right, even with acess to all the information one can be persuaded and it is amazing, scary, but amazing. I hope I never enounter someone like the penguin, I would be worse than Vic

  • @OPENLATE_REELS

    He does little things to make the character real, like looking in a car window and fixing his balding head of hair. Simple but makes the character feel lived in.

    Unlike Heath Ledger’s definitive Joker that he never reaped the rewards, Colin Farrell is definitely reaping the rewards as the definitive Penguin.

    I just still can’t believe this is the same Colin Farrell from the Phone Booth, Daredevil, and the Total Recall remake. He’s totally disappeared into the role in The Penguin.

  • @matti.8465

    The scene is a good showcase of how Oz views relationships as transactional. Oz gave Vic a job, gave him a roof and clothes, so shouldn't that be enough to buy his love?

  • @JhonCrackgames
    @JhonCrackgames 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I loved how on interviews Colin talks of Oz in third person. It's like he treats the character like a real living entity separate to him, like acting as The Penguin was like walking in his shoes, becoming him. And I think that is so beautiful, not all actors have this perception with a character.

    There's a (well, many) reason(s) this series has been often compared to The Sopranos -- the leads are really quite similar. Mommy issues, having to fight to get up top, etc. But I showed my Mom a clip of Colin from In Bruges and then showed her a clip from The Batman and told her that it's the same guy and she practically slapped me in the face. Dude is CRUSHING it. I'm SO happy he turned away from the big budget beautiful boy bullshit and started choosing interesting roles.
