I'm here to talk about the movie "Fracture". It had Anthony Hopkins in it. You know, I've never really paid attention to the guy in the past. Then I saw "The Silence of the Lambs" after finding out that his character in there is supposed to be an INTJ. I loved Hannibal Lecter. I saw "Hannibal Rising" and loved him in there as well. He's my fucking hero. I'm not kidding, either. That guy symbolizes everything I wish I could be. I don't mean the whole cannibalism and stuff. That's kinda gross. But just being able to. Being able to look into the eyes of someone and then kill them. Whenever I've watched a movie where the good guy kills someone and it's the first person they've ever killed and the realization hits them hard, I've always imagined myself in that situation and imagined feeling good from it. I would be a villian if I had super powers. I wouldn't kill innocent people so much, but would just use it against people who tried to make me do things, like pay taxes or just trying to arrest me because I'm a threat.
But anyway, in the movie "Fracture", *SPOILER WARNING* Anthony Hopkins finds that his wife is cheating on him with someone else. He talks to her that night, telling her stuff like how he thinks about her at work and wonders if she thinks about him during the day. You know, nice stuff. She gets kinda annoyed and says "Do we have to do this tonight?" Ugh, he wasn't doing anything wrong! Then he tries to explain his feelings the best he can and she mocks him for "thinking he's so much more intelligent than her" and assumes that it makes him feel above her. What the fuck! What a fucking insult! I've had that happen with people too many times. No, you fucking retard, I'm not intentionally using big words to flaunt my intelligence in your face. I'm not altering my word choice. This is my normal speech. These are the normal, relaxed, casual things I say. He just told her that it actually makes him feel weak. She still scoffs. Honestly, the only thing keeping me from being seriously annoyed with the situation and how it compared to ones I've been in was the knowledge that he was going to shoot her. If he wasn't going to shoot her, I would have grabbed his gun and done it for him. I loved the whole rest of the film except the end. Anthony Hopkins' character was awesome. I was rooting for him the whole time, laughing at all the little ways he messed with people. I was entranced by his eyes each time it showed him looking at the person he was talking to. All I could think of was something along the lines of "I wish I had eyes like that" or "Whoa, you tell 'em" or some other favorable feeling toward his eyes. I was in awe at how he had everything under control. He didn't need to look cool to anyone. He didn't need to impress anyone. He was just there for himself. Everyone else was meaningless. People were only kept around to amuse him. Man, it was great. I wanted to be this guy the whole time I watched the movie. I was really disappointed at the end because he didn't get away with it. That really made me upset. If only he had killed her in the beginning and got tried for murder to begin with. If only that stupid lawyer didn't realize he could try him for murder since he hadn't been tried for it yet. That ruined the movie for me. It really killed it. All I could feel was disappointment about how the inferior people won. I felt lied to. Anyway, it was a good movie despite that. |
