"X has Fallen" series is good. Law Abiding Citizen. The Breakup

 

[Canadian Dragon]

im tempted to go on a best of tom cruise run. mostly as an excuse to watch top gun and minority report

 

[Lethal]

Minority Report

 

[Canadian Dragon]

its one of my faves all time, cant tell u why, i love that movie lol

 

[Lethal]

Risky Business too

 

[Lethal]

Top Gun

 

[Lethal]

Natalie Portman run

 

[Lethal]

but that involves Leon, which whilst phenomenally acted by Natalie and Jean, well, the underlying hints about the 2 main characters are a little disturbing

 

[Canadian Dragon]

yeah i think people read into that wayyyy too much imo

 

[John McHenry]

I think one of the reasons I like Minority Report so much is it's one of the most realistic future movies. Like all the tech stuff not the main story

 

[Canadian Dragon]

its imo pretty clear he has absoilutely 0 interest and shoves her away at every turn (not to mention his character already doesnt really seem to be interested in any sort of sexual anything). shes a confused pre teen whos been abused and has no idea what love looks like and acts accordingly to what she's observed in her horrible upbringing. While I do think there's supposed to be some level of awkwardness in the moments where she attempts advances, I find it quite a good lesson as opposed to the other, as he clearly refuses her and shows 0 interest

 

[Lethal]

first time I watched it that never entered my thought realm. as you said, he refuses her, and guides her into how to be a decent person

 

[Lethal]

apparently the original script did feature them having sex. Thankfully that was removed (iirc NP's parents threatened legal action if they even hinted at it happening)

yeh I think ppl over think it to fit a narrative, subconsciously or not.

I find that very surprising considering the directors comments, maybe one of those urban rumors?
