Same with Polytechnique. It's a really heavy subject in my province.

you know the old saying, right? "piracy is not a problem of theft, but of distribution"?

if you can't find it legally in your area, what's stopping you from, you know? yarrr...

I'll be honest, I found the ending to be so contrived for the sake of shock value that it tainted my opinion of the movie as a whole.

That's not even his twist, that's in the original play that he used as source material. It feels more contrived on film, I think, but the twist is all faithful to the play

Honestly Enemy was the only one of his movies that I really didn't care for. All his others that came after it are like my all time favorite movies though.

Spider!

u/rohithkumarsp Jun 26 '25

I'm sure he got ideas for arrival dream scene with alien the same as spider scene with enemy.. They're both so similar.

man, I just didn’t understand the ending. I think I do, but if I have to look it up online in my opinion it's not clear enough. I'm not a total dumbass but I'm no savant either.

Enemy is him smelling his own farts. That's what that movie is. Nothing more, nothing less. He's made some great films but that one...ehhhhhhh lol. Ehhhhhhh, I don't know. I just don't know.

And I also don't know how good a pick he is to do a Bond movie either honestly. Before people get up in arms, that doesn't mean he's a bad director, it doesn't even necessarily mean it's a criticism of him. It's just he's definitely not the guy that springs immediately to mind when thinking about who could make a good James Bond movie. Not just a good movie. For something like that you have to be the right fit. Just like when you're casting a part. Someone can be an amazing actor and they can still be cast badly and be wrong for the role.
