Carnage [Blu-ray]

Love this movie and how they portray the two different classes. After pleasantries we find that both families are just as screwed up and again we are all the same.

This is a razor-sharp, biting comedy that only Roan Polanski could write as he never fails to entertain his audience. After two boys duke it out on a playground, the parents of the "victim" invites parents of the "bully" over to their house to work out the issues. A polite discussion of childrearing soon escalates into verbal warfare, with all of the parents revealing their true colors. None of them will escape the carnage. Kate Winslet and Christoph Waltz play the parents of the "bully," while Jodie Foster and John C. Reilly play the parents of the "victim." One thing after another keeps happening. Jodie serves Kate and John a family recipe of pear cobbler pie, which does not set well with Kate's stomach and so she vomits it up all over Jodie's valuable art books that sends Jodie through the roof! So then there is the scene in the bathroom where Kate and Christoph are cleaning the cobbler off their clothes while discussing how awful it tasted. Meanwhile, Jodie is upset about her art books being ruined while she and John are attempting to blow-dry and clean them off, which is not getting anywhere. So from there, Jodie and John revert to making fun of the nicknames that Kate and Christoph told them that they had for one another. Christoph enters the living room, on route from the bathroom, to hear Jodie and John making fun of their nicknames as their backs are turned from him, which only adds a sense of tackiness to the atmosphere. Jodie and John try to recover from their fau paus, but never can quite defuse it. Christoph is some type of big-wig pharmaceutical CEO who is constantly talking on the telephone to another pharm. rep.about a drug that is being in the news saying it is causing people bad adverse reactions to it, which happens to be the same drug that John's mother is taking. So John is seen on the phone telling his mother to get off the drug now! A complete conversation can never seem to happen between the four of them as Christoph gets constant phone calls, so Kate has had enough and takes his phone and throws it in a flower vase filled with water. Well, Christoph's whole world is in his smart phone so he is now in a tizzy about it. John tries to help Christoph by taking the phone apart and blown-drying it, which actually ends up making the phone work in the end. The conversation escalates and finally John brings out booze and cigars and everyone proceeds to get drunk. So everyone is telling each other exactly what they think by now. As the banter goes back and forth it has you laughing throughout the whole show. Earlier in the movie, Jodie pointed out to Kate how she got a good deal on Tulips that Kate had commented on. By this time, everyone has had it. So the scene ends with Kate saying what she thinks about the flowers. Kate lifts them out of the vase and flops them all around the place and then throws them to the ground. That is where the movie ends with everyone just standing in shock! It was a real change from the usual movies that are out there.

The cheapest set ever. A soapbox play on video. Its just a recorded soapbox play with prestigious actors in it. The script, the set and the acting... mere soapbox. The near whole thing is filmed in a living room. An hour and a half of nothing but the same arguement over and over....and OVER. A movie about kids' misbehavior that brings their parents to a nonstop recycling arguement, but the kids never ACT in the whole thing, they're glimpsed as extras at the beginning, that's it. No real ending of any sort, no SOMETHING of an ending. I'm shocked at Sissy Spacek's involvement with this spoof... Name dropping as a quick money scheme. It's CHEAP in all senses. Shame on them. Don't believe me.. watch it then. If you're a troller (FB) then you'll probably like it. Left me feeling like they take us all for fools. No wool pulled over my eyes. Calling it what it truly is. Cheap quick money maker with gold name tags as the CLICK BAIT.

Zachary's parents, Alan and Nancy Cowen (Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz), meet with Ethan's parents, Penelope and Michael Longstreet (Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly), to try to smooth things over. However, what starts as a polite meeting among adults descends into finger-pointing, tantrums and insults. Based on the play "God of Carnage" by Yasmina Reza.First performed in Zürich in 2006, Le Dieu du Carnage was inspired by a real-life experience; when Reza's son was about 13 years old one of his friends got into a fight - which, resulted in one of their teeth being broken and the child's parents lamenting a lack of communication being initiated by the perpetrators guardians following the incident. Le Dieu du Carnage then opened in London in March 2008 using a translation provided by Christopher Hampton – and then, in 2011, was adapted as a feature film by Roman Polanski. The screenplay for this feature was the result of a collaboration between Polanski and Riza and consequently the 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒚 of Carnage's script is pulled directly from the source material. In addition to this Reza approved the change of setting from Paris to Brooklyn so as to be in line with her assertion and belief that people – in regards to their behaviors and ideologies – are intimately connected to their place of origin and residency.Taking place in mostly a single location and shot in real-time – the navigation of space on Carnage's set is integral to the flow of conversation and the change of dynamics between Reza's separate characters. ‘Carnage’ takes advantage of moments for couples to be isolated briefly from one another (which is not so successfully transposed on stage) and reinforces themes related to maintaining a level of dignity or societal expectations when presented with conflicting or antagonistic information. Exposition is intentionally lacking so as to validate the level of speculation that Carnage's premise can be manipulated by and create some space for misgivings and exaggeration to bloom uncontrollably. Resolution might be the goal - but it's never an inevitability - and this is exploited through interactions that are repetitive (and arguably exhaustive) and may leave viewers with aspirations for a clear verdict to feel empty-handed or exasperated. Speaking of empty-handed – most people are not particularly fond of aimless conversations, but the stationary nature of the stage makes them a bit of a theater staple. Reza’s culmination of tension created an agglomeration of commendable traits and dubious standards, and thus produces characters that are as flawed as they are remedial and as believable as they are ridiculous. Attributes that make camaraderie possible like honesty, passivity, and civility are contorted into divisive idiosyncrasies that give an increasingly clearer view into the psyches of Penelope, Michael, Nancy, and Alan at the present moment; the lack of preferential treatment exhumes personalities that could otherwise benefit from a methodically Socratic conversation given a completely different context, but when put inside of a blender are easy to empathize with and sample in stride‘Carnage’ is a mutt that has been bred using features most beneficial on stage and on film, and because of this is more than a fair reflection of its original authors ability to single out the subtleties of human nature and stage them as points of enjoyment or discovery for respective audience members. The true genius is in the capriciousness that is intermingled with convention as is the rich and wampish dialogue that wards off periods of emotional bankruptcy; for people willing to give it genuine spin, Carnage's bark is a mere semblance of its bite.

E' stato un regalo. Chi l'ha ricevuto è stato molto soddisfatto. Poi è arrivato in brevissimo tempo. Soddisfatta dell'acquisto

Valorar una película, libro, cuadro es muy personal. Quiero ser objetivo, y paso a valorar aspectos que interesan a cualquier cliente: el producto ha llegado el día especificado, bien embalado, y en perfecto estado. Mis 5 estrellas para YAYA RECORDS. Sin embargo, creo que Amazon debería cambiar el formato informativo de las películas. Los detalles de dirección, interpretación, duración, etc, aparecen en la web imdb.com. Lo que un cliente quiere saber es: IDIOMAS de audio e IDIOMAS de subtítulos. Para mí, ese es el criterio capital.

I recently got hooked onto Roman Polanski's films, after watching Rosemary's Baby for the very first time. Roman's direction in every aspect of film making shows his talent as a master story teller. Carnage, is the comedic example of his beautifully polished movie creations. The film is based on a play and the four main actors, Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, John C. Reilly and Christophe Waltz, are amazing, as 4 parents who meet to discuss their sons' brief interaction in a park, which results in one boy hurting the other. The conversation starts off civil but as we progress further into the story, escalates into an all out war of words. Roman's comment on parenthood amongst other subjects is examined in detail, as we the viewers witness what becomes of these 4 adults as they break down showing their true colors. A great couples film. Highly Recommended.

Una película que tienes que ver independientemente de tu opinión sobre el matrimonio.La amarás o la odiarás pero no la olvidarás. ¡Extraordinario guion!

I knew from the trailers that this wasn't going to be a regular multiplex record busting movie. Imagine it more like a play and you'd be there. All the action takes place in a very small space and it's all about relationships not about action.I'm trying to not give too much away but it quickly transpires that two kids have had a fight. As the drama unfolds there are gentle twists and turns brought in about what happened, who was the instigator but it's all just a device to magnify and examine the relationships.What I like and is very clever is that a few times the meeting almost breaks up. At first it's genial, it's gone as well as could be expected, there is stuff going on beneath the surface but it's all been handled decently, appropriately and with political correctness. Each time Alan and Nancy move back from the lift or the door, a layer is removed and we get to see closer to the real emotions underneath.Some fantastic performances in this, all the characters feel like people you would or have met. I could see my partner identifying with Alan to start off with and finding it funny... then watching the camera pan to the impact his behaviour was having on the people in the room. That's the clever thing about this film. At first you can identify with a character, then another layer is peeled or you see how they're impacting on others and it makes you reassess. I love a film which makes you think and this one definitely does but if you're not the kind of person who enjoys going to the theatre, it probably wouldn't be your kind of thing.
