Very disappointing...
As Good As It Gets
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Allied is set in the midst of WW2. It sees Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard as secret agents in Casa Blanca, where they start their romantic adventure. They end up in London where it turns out that Marion is perhaps a double agent for the Germans.The entire film is shot with an absurd amount of filter and Hollywood esqu likeness. To further separate the audience, the script and dialogue do not allow any chemistry to be developed between the central characters. As this is integral in the start of any film, I could not engage fully.Nevertheless, in the second act it is learned that Marion is perhaps a double agent. Although rather predictable, from this point forward the pace is picked up and keeps you guessing until the end. This is its strongest point.Allied is supposedly loosely based on a true story, yet portrays scenes of an impossible and almost absurd nature. To exemplify this is a pregnancy that takes place in the middle of a war zone. There is also an extremely cheesy sex scene in a car while the camera is being spun and sand is thrown at the car windows. These scenes feel like they are forcing you to engage with the characters but just leave you laughing at the absurdity. Although it is a corny mess with the character interactions, the thriller aspects created an overall enjoyable experience.
There was minimalist tension from start. Why nobody follow after attack in Casablanca but love is real and war is cruel. Like a Iconic Love Story (movie) placed to WW2 time.
This flick's highlights is probably all the dead nazis
This part of the movie is not credible. The party was full of German and Vichy Officers. Pitt and Cotillard enter the building with two machine guns and kill everyone! There were no German guards controlling access. After doing this they easily escape and fly to London.
