Description
Struggling to find his place at Oxford University, student Oliver Quick finds himself drawn into the world of the charming and aristocratic Felix Catton, who invites him to Saltburn, his eccentric family's sprawling estate, for a summer never to be forgotten.
In short, it seems strange to me that rich people are depicted as so naive, they would have lost their entire fortune long ago. Eccentric, out of touch with life - yes, but not in matters of money and suspicious individuals who try to attach themselves to them.
But the dance at the end was beautiful with its madness, you can't say anything))
I am satisfied with all points, and separately with the soundtrack straight from my 2006, with block party and others. And of course, the visual, I expected it from Emerald, it's on the level, thank you all. A great Christmas gift.
I had expectations and they were fulfilled. Everything I love has been collected here. But there are so many impressions that there is nothing to say, because it needs to be digested.
Yes, there are many similar things to be found here. From the latter, the same "Parasites", but still visually and in English it is amazing
P. S. The dance is great, Keoghan is divine
The final dance, of course, is definitely top.
I got something unusual in the end😶🌫
Among the advantages: good actors, beautiful views and filming, pleasant musical accompaniment, excellent work of costumers, atmosphere and aesthetics, symbolism finally (it is quite obvious, but if you call it detail, it even comes out very tasty)
Of the cons: boring in places, predictable plot (bathroom scene, " vampire ", denouement and even the end), questions to logic (???? I still don't understand where the police were during the denouement of the plot)
But (there is a big but) how beautifully this story is made forgives her the holes in the plot and the predictability of turns
You can watch for the sake of actors and beautiful shots (it's definitely worth it), but not for the sake of a traumatic experience or an unusual plot.... After all, a similar plot has already been told in other paintings, all the mystery is lost from this
By the way!!! In the annotation (?) the comedy is stated, but there is not a lot of it and it is mostly revealed in dialogues — it does not make it worse or better, rather it is a great addition to the characters
There are funny moments, but not to the point of stomach cramps
And for those who did not understand the idea - sincere condolences
It came to me personally. Most of the characters in the film are crazy. It seems to me that only Felix was in the right place, but we all know the end. I think it's a great movie for the evening! Not a masterpiece, but it doesn't pretend to be either, in my opinion. It turned out well
I watched the first part of the film and felt sorry for Oliver, I think, like everyone else. It seemed to me that he was so unhappy, he needed help and, to be honest, you also bought into this character, like Felix and his whole family. And, indeed, nothing shows or hints that a character named Oliver is behind the whole series of events that happened to this family. He looks very insecure, downtrodden and, as Venetia correctly noted, he sniffs out like a mouse (I would even say like a rat) and knows where he needs to go and knows where to dig another tunnel, how to get through, where to go and where exactly is the weakest place where it is easiest It will make a hole.
When I watched the movie, of course, my opinion of this character changed dramatically, but I realized how many details we miss in dealing with such people and how often we wishful thinking. I want to say that Felix was the most ordinary lifeguard who saw the victim and towered over him while helping him. Usually eo happens unconsciously, but still. He consoled his ego that he was a valiant knight who helped a broken man in a difficult life situation. That's exactly what played a cruel joke on him, because the moment he agreed to trust Oliver, his vigilance was put to sleep. However, so did he in the future.
Felix was bright and memorable and, judging by how popular he was, it was not for nothing that his family fell victim to Oliver. Oliver is the smartest person. Everyone knew about Felix's estate, it was not surprising that Oliver had noticed it long before the events. I think everyone knew about the “kindness” of his parents, so it was not difficult for Oliver to fulfill his plan. At first, he watched Felix for a very long time and analyzed his behavior. After that, he absolutely understood the strategy of communicating with Felix, so that he would like it and be friendly and courteous with him, very accurately turned out to be in the right place and at the right time and was so nice that he lent his bike to a stranger. Further, in order to get even closer, he showed his vulnerable side, which greatly endeared Felix to himself. And then — as if on cue — Oliver absolutely brilliantly got used to the role of an unhappy student (while not being a student), fooled everyone and different people, of different ages, of different levels of education believed in his game, which only proves his uniqueness and genius, albeit a sick one.
I want to point out how Oliver's image changed throughout the film. As an unhappy, to some extent even pathetic person, he became more and more confident in himself. His movements, his actions, his voice, and even the way he dressed and the way he sat showed his transformation and movement towards fulfilling his plan. He was moving towards the denouement point and the better he managed to muddy the brains of Felix and his family, the better he felt, the bolder he became, and it was like a rebirth from the insecure person we saw at the very beginning and the one we saw at the end — unsurpassed. And while everyone thought that Oliver was Felix's next toy, he was the one who ruled the ball here.
Despite the fact that the plot is damn banal and obvious, the acting, the shooting, the estate itself, all these arthouse scenes caused an incredible storm of emotions in me, because there was a terrible aversion to everything that was happening on the screen. Keoghan left behind some kind of sophisticated aftertaste, because at first I felt sorry for his character, then I was interested in watching him, as he revealed himself, and in the end, when I realized that he was a complete psychopath, I felt disgusting. It became disgusting how cold-blooded and calculating all his actions were. How accurately he read every millimeter of events and his actions.From the very beginning, I noticed his uncanny insight into people and this ability of his brought him to the point where he ended up.
For myself, I perceive this film not as a narrative about a man who killed an entire family in order to gain an entire castle, rather, it is a representation of the dirtiest, most vile and most disgusting acts and feelings that people can commit without shying away. This is a great allegory of how vices take over people and how they rise above all the good that we have, killing the light piece by piece, and how in the end you are left alone with this darkness inside, rejoicing in your greatness.
It was a very unpleasant aftertaste from the film, but it was incredibly creepy, disgusting and disgusting. Thank you.
Ska, what kind of Oliver is still a g*ndon, pisses me off 😂 He can't get away with this!
In general, when they said about the moth, I compared him to a family of Parasites and in general, Oliver was a parasite himself.
And so, superficially speaking, this film at least during the viewing hooked me, and the cringe hooked me, and disgust. And I would say that it is not another movie for me that I will chew and forget.
My assumptions were that after meeting with his parents at the DR, Oliver would rush home and adjust reality to what he had spun. (Commit murders)
I've been waiting for this end.
Yes, the plot is not new + cliched rich people in their world, but the atmosphere and visual solutions are top.
The leitmotif is similar to the Talented Mr. Ripley, but here there is a more eccentric style, modern, fresh, defiant.
There is a moderate suspense, and when gg began to plot, it became much more interesting.
Awesome Keoghan🔥 And I personally really liked Rosamund Pike here)
The film is dull and boring, sometimes diluted with unexpected scenes (everyone knows which ones), which only cause misunderstanding of where it comes from and why, because nothing really follows from the logic of the film. Yes, I think this was done only for the hype around, and not for immersion and better character development.
The plot about the bunny hut is not new, so there were no surprises in this regard.
The main surprise is actually the absence of at least some importance of the butler. It's really like a closet, it doesn't bring anything with its presence. It surprised me a lot, but the film itself is probably nothing.
he's good at playing a few crazy people)
from the good, very cool tracks that somehow dilute the atmosphere, and a beautiful picture. but I don't recommend viewing it, an exception for strong fans of actors, or if you're not familiar with the genre at all
Equally crazy, beautiful, strange and ambiguous every time!
High!
The film is interesting, unhurried, somewhat ambiguous, but definitely predictable.
Should I say that this is a masterpiece? No... A hat? Not at all... The film will definitely find its fans of varying degrees of "warming up" and certainly its haters. I'm more in the first category, because I liked the movie overall.
There are a lot of beautifully shot scenes, as well as intentionally provocative and scandalous for someone... was it possible to do without them? to advance the plot - probably yes, to reveal the character - rather not than yes, since they definitely added colors...but one thing is for sure: if they hadn't been there, there wouldn't have been such a heated discussion. Therefore, in general, the plot is a cocktail of the Talented Mr. Ripley " and "Parasites" served in a classic English style.
You don't need to be a clairvoyant here to anticipate most of the plot twists..
The only non-obvious details for me were a punctured tire and a scene at the bar ... but these are such small details that they did not have a wow effect at all..
I didn't immediately figure out about gg's parents, but it's clear that some kind of trigger was needed to move to the climax of the plot and this was one of the options. And when Felix took Oliver to Prescott, there were no options left.
I'm not sure if I blinked during the viewing, but the reason for Elspeth's sudden illness was only hinted at, or was there something documenting Oliver's involvement?
The final scene is top, it will clearly become a cult one, there is no doubt about it.
* (by the way, I didn't know, but as it turned out, the final version of the cemetery scene is an improvisation by Barry Keoghan, strongly approved by the director)
And so, of course, it's a little boring, of course, and those very scenes were not impressed, as if we were not living in the 21st century.
an incomprehensible thing, the promised abomination was not there. It's just weird, very weird. reminded of kings and whisperers because the plot is the same incomprehensible (we did not try to understand) 💣💣🤙🤙
tiktok HYIP is not understood
Many people write about the resemblance to the Talented Mr. Ripley, but it is minimal here.
I put 4 out of 5. Minus 1 point for the final. It would be better if this nonsense with murders were absent altogether.
Why did the rich family keep Oliver at all, and why didn't the police investigate anything after the first murder? I think it was possible to conclude for sure that this was not a suicide, and then specifically suspect Oliver. With the fact that he still got the castle, it is also doubtful, as if they no longer have relatives. Well, in short, for me, it's a long and not too interesting film. For the acting and the crazy dance at the end - like. The rest is quite passable
