In Bruges
Starring Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, and Ralph Fiennes.
Utterly brilliant.
Another release from the Indie label, Focus Pictures, In Bruges tells the story of 2 hit men, one old and wise, buddied up with the other, who's quite petulant and childish.
The film is as quixotic as the younger hitman (played very well by Colin Farrell), and goes in directions you cannot possibly fathom. It is both hilarious and somehow quite sad, simultaneously.
If you like your movies tainted with the stink of something just a bit left of center, I can't recommend a movie more.
My wife and I both absolutely loved it.

Re: In Bruges
Agreed. The wife and I watched this one a few weeks back and really enjoyed it. I'm usually not a fan of Farrell's, but he's great in this role.
The best way I can describe the film is Tarantino with a European sensibility.

Re: In Bruges
A lot of great quotes in this movie.
I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't.

Re: In Bruges
I read about this one before and it sounded interesting. Added to my Netflix queue, where it will languish in obscurity. Too bad it's not a Watch Now.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Re: In Bruges
Quite some time ago I learned about the film but never had a chance to see it in the theater. I picked it up on DVD the day it was released and absolutely loved it. The dialogue is brilliant and wondefully entertaining. Some of the exchanges are classic:
Ken: Harry, let's face it. And I'm not being funny. I mean no disrespect, but you're a cunt. You're a cunt now, and you've always been a cunt. And the only thing that's going to change is that you're going to be an even bigger cunt. Maybe have some more cunt kids.
Harry: Leave my kids fucking out of it! What have they done? You fucking retract that bit about my cunt fucking kids!
Ken: I retract that bit about your cunt fucking kids.
Harry: Insult my fucking kids? That's going overboard, mate!
Ken: I retracted it, didn't I?
Ray: What are they doing over there? They're filming something. They're filming midgets!
Ken: Ray...
Ken: Ray, come on. Let's go.
Ray: Fuck off, Ken. They're filming midgets.
Did anyone watch the edited collection of profanity called "Fucking Bruges" as part of the extras included on the DVD? Fucking hysterical. They edited the entire film down to only include the profanity. You get to see the entire movie in about five minutes condensed down to four letter words and "Bruges." Definitely worth watching.
I've also been cracked across the back of the head by my wife for screaming, "But honey, they're filming midgets" when I go running off somewhere, like to the DVD section at Best Buy, or to the beer section at the grocery store. Sometimes I feel like my wife just doesn't understand me.

I can't stop doing the same thing. Although now I've gone so far as to make "fucking Bruges" the phrase I use when I don't like a place, no matter where it is. If I don't like where I am I simply say, "Fucking Bruges" and shake my head. Unfortunately no one knows what the hell I'm talking about because the film hasn't become much of a cult classic yet. When I'm met with a confused stare I continue with, "I grew up in Philly. I love Philly. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, <<insert name of disliked place here>> might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't." That usually doesn't help to clarify anything, but it does end the conversation pretty abruptly.yossar wrote:I liked it a lot as well. I now instinctively add "fucking" before the word Bruges.

Re: In Bruges
Watch the gag reel on the dvd to see an alternate version of this scene. In it, Colin runs off screen and when Brendan yells out to him, all you hear is "Fuck off...MIDGETS!"... I must have laughed for 20 minutes because of the way he says it.Ray: Fuck off, Ken. They're filming midgets.

This certainly is a slightly twisted movie with a bit of emotional drama, but the humor is spot-on if you enjoy dark humor.

Overweight Man: Been to the top of the tower?
Ray: Yeah..yeah, it's rubbish.
Overweight Man: It is? The guide book says it's a must see.
Ray: Well you lot ain't going up there.
Overweight Man: Pardon me? Why?
Ray: I mean, it's all winding stairs. I'm not being funny.
Overweight Man: What exactly are you trying to say?
Ray: What exactly am I trying to say? You's a bunch of fuckin' elephants.
[overweight man attempts to chase Ray around but quickly grows tired]
Ray: Come on, leave it fatty!
[the overweight women calm down the overweight man]
Overweight Woman #2: [to Ray] You know you're just the rudest man. The rudest man!
Ken: [coming back from the tower] What's all that about?
[Ray shrugs]
Ken: They're not going up there.
[to overweight family]
Ken: Hey, guys. I wouldn't go up there. It's really narrow.
Overweight Woman #2: Screw you, motherfucker!
Ken: [to Ray] What was that about?
Ray: [shrugs]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ticket Seller: I'm sorry, the tower is closed.
Ken: You're supposed to be open until seven!
Ticket Seller: Normally, yes, we are open until seven, but earlier today an American tourist had a heart attack at the top of the tower, so now the tower is closed.

I missed this follow up line about why the tower was closed. I will blame the accents.

Re: In Bruges
That's one of the more interesting films I've seen. The overall atmosphere is sorta depressing, but the dialog is *really* clever.
Also, I give the script writer a TON of credit. Like Memento or Snatch, this is one of those films where everything ends up spinning together.
EDIT: Oh, and the DVD box is made of lies. "Thrilling chases!" my ass. This movie is 80% two guys wandering around drinking beer. It just happens that it's a terribly clever version of two guys drinking beer.

Re: In Bruges
Just watched it. Interesting movie. Didn't think the dialog was all that witty, but I thought it was better than most movies. Some of it seemed a bit silly, like the man who dragged himself up a tower after being shot in the neck, slowly dropped coins from the tower and then dropped to survive long enough to have a conversation before the fit man could reach the bottom of the stairs.
Also I found the whole idea of Bruges being a shit hole pretty stupid. If that's hell, I am ready to go.

Re: In Bruges
I took many of the themes that you note in a very different fashion. Bruges wasn't meant to be a bad place at all, simply that Colin's character was arrogant and didn't appreciate it.Lee wrote:Just watched it. Interesting movie.

Re: In Bruges
I just couldn't buy it. I could see some shit hole town in the middle of nowhere, where there is nothing but diners, bad beer, and bland scenery. But even an irishmen would be in love with that place if only for the beautiful pubs and good beer. Which describes the movie to me as a whole, I couldn't buy it.
After watching the deleted scenes I also thought most of them should have been left in for character development (but at the same time some of them were so out there I had no clue what they were about). The scenes set the characters up, gave the viewer more of a clue of what was going, and on a whole made it a better story.
I would give the movie 4 out of 5 stars, but it could easily have been a 5 if it was more fleshed out and realistic.

Re: In Bruges
Just finished and really quite enjoyed it. I was a bit surprised, as I wasn't expecting something quite that dark. Not sure if I'd say it was brilliant, but it was certainly entertaining.
And I'm pretty sure I could watch the actress playing Chloe read a phone book for 2 hours. She's stunningly beautiful.

Watched it after reading this thread. Thoroughly enjoyable. I've added it to my collection. I think I've piqued the wife's curiosity too, so maybe she'll watch it eventually.
Very pleasant experience, which is more than I can say about a lot of movies these days.

Re: In Bruges
I watched it a few nights ago and thought it was brilliant. Once again the trailers did complete injustice to this film. I thought it was going to be some sort of slapstick caper movie about two bumbling hitmen. But it turned out to be a very dark, sad and yet fucking funny movie. I agree that the dialog was exceptional. I don't buy many movies anymore but this one is going to be picked up.

Re: In Bruges
I have just watched the movie tonight and I must say I liked it alot.
For sure one of Collins better performances, and Gleeson and in particular Fieness I also enjoyed alot in the movie (Fieness is my favorite male actor though so I am always biased there I guess).
It is one of those movies that doesn`t reach the high top of my list but it is dipping in the lower ranks of the ones I would consider very good movies.
That being said due to the script and performances it is a movie that I can imagine I will watch again with much greater ease then many others.
The balance between drama\thriller and humor was very well done, just as the actress portraying Chloe was between beautiful and cute
