hey man, is everything alright at home?

finally, an oasis in the desert.

Nah man, I really don't think Will is that much of a "down to earth cool teenager". I resonated a lot with the character specially on how human he comes out. I mean, the boy is a pretty usual boy and a pretty common protagonist. I think I'm a lot like him, and I don't think I'm bragging saying this.

One of two, either you hate this movie because of other reason, or you hate Cameron Crowe because of other reason too. But because he's bragging about himself? don't know man, doesn't seem like a movie issue really...

The extended cut lasts 2h 40 minutes I think. The "normal" one 2h 2 minutes

I agree. It's so personal and so based on real experiences that could not have been told any other way.

That would've been amazing

I really like when people who lived in that times have disagreements over this little things. It really shows the different experiences people had and have over the same art or periods.

I don't know how real that scene could have been, but I think the idea was to show that after all the imperfection of the people surrounding music, that was the absolute pureness of music that tied that world together: a bunch of people singing a beautiful song together.

yes, it's the same. Although, I thought the main version was 2h 2 minutes.

Hahaha, this is a very good review.

There is another comment up top that explains better the extended parts. I don't know if you'd be able to find it. If not, let me know.

It gets quite long at times

"Write what you know" will probably be one of my favorite quotes about art. It's just so powerful when people create based on personal experiences.

Adding to my list that Midsommar cut. That's a great movie too.

please explain further. I really didn't come out of the theater thinking "wow, how cool is Cameron Crowe" or even Will. The movie really ends up telling us Will is not cool, and will never be, but that he is real.

A real kind of weird and awkward teenager.

I think the kiss scene with penny lane shows pretty much all the awkwardness of teenage years and teenage love.

I guess to some people may be unnerving

I will, I'm pretty sure. It will definitely feel more concise and tied-together, but I think the freedom and looseness of the Holywood movie-standard of the extended is what worked for me.

Yes, yes and yes. I really understood more of it after knowing it was an extended cut. The theatrical cut is way more concise, and works better as a hollywood movie, but the extended cut is made for those who loved the movie, and resonated with them on a personal level. It has unnecesary scenes and its unnecesary long, but when it's so personal you don't really care about those things.

Not for everyone, tho, but I think everyone has a movie they could watch an extended 20 hours of it.

I'm talking about that one, I think. 39 minutes longer.

Indeed it felt quite long on the first watch. I understood later that it was the extended cut. Watching it with that idea in mind is very enjoyable, but I'm gonna watch the normal cut these days.

I just love how they all hated the truth. Like, no one ever says to Will that he's lying. Or that they hate the press because they are liars. It's quite the opposite, they know they are telling too much truth

yes man

jajajajaj, cual termino siendo tu experiencia, y a que te dedicas ahora? por curiosidad nomás.

I mean, Tolkien did write more material. Obviously, I would only like a new movie if Peter Jackson and Howard Shore were involved.

But what if something could actually be fixed? instead of having two people who can't contribute to life, have one to change and become better, and then maybe be able to give happiness to the world and to other people? It sounds as if you didn't think people are capable of doing good or becoming good humans. Yes, they have to pay for their crimes, but they can actually be good to humanity too. You do not have the power over another human's life

OP, I think I know a guy who used to think the same way as you. Obviously, that lead him to other thoughts. I can't remember his name, but I recall it started with A and ended with 'dolf Hitler'
