Time travel, destiny, and predetermination – it’s all on display in 2014’s Predestination. A small film with big ideas riding on the coattails of Primer, Inception, and a lot of other time related…
wow welcome everyone to the silver linings playlist today we are talking about a movie i feel like should be talked about more like this feels like a movie that film bros haven't discovered yet
you know what i mean
this feels like remember in what was it 2005 2006 when primer came out and everyone was like just like that every film bro was like this is the best time travel movie ever made
uh-huh
And I think that maybe the reason that it hasn't really taken off is because there's a lot of interesting elements in this movie to put it the, to say the least, it is a, not to be that podcaster that's too woke up at the top, but I have a lot of thoughts about this movie being a trans story.
That's not interested in talking about trans people or intersex people in any meaningful way.
Um,
It's also a movie that feels like two movies that you kind of just human centipeded together.
Correct.
The first half is like, oh, it's this really interesting tale, like this character study and everything.
And then the second half is like, all right, we got to go.
We got a lot of time shit to do in the next 35 minutes.
Because
the second half is all about like catching the bomber, which is not in the original short story.
Right.
Right.
Like, I feel like they need to like, oh, we need to like make this a
movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You got to have something to put butts in the seats.
That's what I'm saying is I think if you just adapted the story, the short story and gave the characters more room to breathe, you could still have a very interesting 95 minute movie without adding in a time travel terrorist subplot that really gets wrapped up very quickly.
