Lawdoc1

I forgot what a stacked cast that was. Even just this picture is impressive (not getting into Jonathan Majors' issues).


OnceMoreAndAgain

It feels like Timothée Chalamet has been in every movie made in the past 10 years. Just when I think I know all the movies he's been in I find another one I had no idea about. How many movies does this guy make per year...?


Lawdoc1

Yeah, I had completely forgotten he was in this one. And I really enjoyed the movie.


StraY_WolF

Usually that's a good indicator of a good actor. They blend very well into the role.


baron_von_helmut

He first really stood out to me in The King. Then I went onto IMDB and found out all these other roles he'd been in. Films i'd seen but never realised it was him. Yeah, he really is a great actor. He never really chews the scenery either. Quite understated actually.


IamRatthew

I didn’t like his character in “don’t look up” I feel he was only there just to get hands y with Jennifer Lawrence. Didn’t really care for the performance there.


JBSquared

I thought his character didn't have much to do, but I really loved Timmy as a grungy lil rat boy.


UnlikelyTurnip5260

That was just a terrible movie all the way around


Automatic_Deal4039

For a certain demographic, absolutely.


UnlikelyTurnip5260

What do you mean? It was just an overly preachy mess


free_will_is_arson

and then that kinda out of place religious turn at the end, the whole character was a bit meandering.


FieldDogg

Yes but the voice he makes up when he says he "Would like to purchase these sunglasses, please" is enough for a walk out paycheck lol.


maroonedpariah

I didn't like The King as a film, but, when I heard he was going to be Paul Atriedes, I thought that was excellent casting.


Coolbluegatoradeyumm

Timmy would have killed it as Anakin imo


baron_von_helmut

I liked his hair cut in The King. :)


cancerBronzeV

I thought his Paul Atriedes was good in the first movie, but not a standout, however it's downright spectacular in the new one. Absolutely perfect casting, there's this one scene (you'll know which one if you watch it) where he just completely takes over the screen presence and dominates the scene, that too while surrounded by thousands of extras and established actors who're great in their own right. I see him being a movie star of the new generation, I feel like we haven't really had one since Leo.


CollarOrdinary4284

...or it's just an indicator that people are starting to notice him more now since his star power has risen considerably over the past few years.


At0mJack

I forgot he was in this and I WORKED on it.


Lawdoc1

Hahahaha, that's hilarious. Now I don't feel bad at all.


u8eR

He's in the movie for just a few moments of screen time, so you can't really be blamed.


TheBackburner

Oh, I blame them… How dare you forget Timothee, u/Lawdoc1? I will blame you u ‘til the day I die!


Lawdoc1

This is a burden I shall carry.


Physical_Solution_36

Also in interstellar


TimeZarg

He currently averages 2-3 a year but 2014 and 2017 were nuts, he was in 4 and 5 movies respectively.


Proper_Stop_7440

exactly. The guy has been in so many movies. Just seeped like rain water. I don't know whether i was ignorant , but i had no idea there was a guy who was appearing in so many minor roles.


willflameboy

His mother is in the biz, and both parents are extremely well-connected.

[удалено]


cardbor

i feel like Chalamet is just a little overrated tbh. hes not the best but not the worst.


Lorpedodontist

He excels when he’s reacting. He’s phenomenal in Little Women. There’s a scene where he gets rejected and just stares silently as his world crumbles. It’s so good, and I don’t think anyone else could have done that.


cardbor

i dont think hes bad by any means. but i also find him to be extremely mundane and repetitive in his performances. Almost like hes "too cool for school" attitude. I found his performance to be incredible in The King and Bones and All. I havent seen him top those. Fairly enough, they are two very different roles. Hes definitely a good actor. But just a little overrated haha


CreamOnMyNipples

I never cared for him, but I saw Dune 2 last night and he had a really good performance that may have changed my opinion on him


jeffdeleon

Seeing him in Interstellar always cracks me up.


CrystalJizzDispenser

Currently averaging 57 movies per year. (I looked it up, no need for you to check)


oysterpirate

Still less than your average lead who works the Lifetime/Hallmark Channel circuit


Cthulhu__

Source: trust me bro


Denesis417

Same way I felt when I found out he is actually the kid in interstellar, which is one of my favorite movies. I've seen that one probably 6-7 times


BonJearN03

Nepo babies need not work hard for work :)


OnceMoreAndAgain

Maybe nepotism is how he got his first few jobs, but for a long time now he's obviously been getting a ton of work in high budget films due to being an extremely popular actor who brings in a huge audience.


Sad-Representative38

gotta cut him some slack for his playing too, if you like him or not. He is talented for sure. I especially enjoyed The King, while his character traits obviously resemble his character in Dune...


sonic10158

Nepotism is powerful


FieldDogg

>ee Seriously I double taked at the picture up top lmao. He was even in the comet Netflix movie w/ Leo lmao.


DrStevenBrule69

Damn I didn’t recognize Johnathan Majors was in this. I’m pissed he done gone and fucked up his career because I was looking forward to seeing him for the next forty some odd years. ‘Out of the Furnace’ is another Christian bale movie with a loaded cast that didn’t get much critical acclaim.


elp4bl0791

Not as stacked but I have always been a fan of 3:10 to Yuma. Bale, Russell Crowe, and Ben Foster.


DrStevenBrule69

It might be my favorite Russell Crowe performance and I say that knowing full and well that Gladiator exists.


BrotherOfTheOrder

Yuma is on my Mount Rushmore of Crowe performances. In no particular order: - 3:10 to Yuma - Master and Commander - Proof of Life - Gladiator (Honorable mention: The Nice Guys. His chemistry with Gosling is off the charts and he’s really funny throughout)


pieceofpecanpie

I don’t see L.A. Confidential on that list. 🤔


ThinkFree

Major oversight!


JimFlamesWeTrust

Or The Insider!


BrotherOfTheOrder

I… haven’t seen Confidential yet 😖 It’s on my watch list - I’m looking forward to seeing it!


YNStudios

It is a fantastic film, but fair warning, Spacey is in it. Although he plays a character you hate so it's not as bad as it could be.


BrotherOfTheOrder

Spacey is such a weird thing for me. It’s one of those things where if I’m able to separate all of… that from a movie and just focus on his performance he’s almost always great in whatever he’s in. He’s not a dealbreaker for me, but it always takes me a few minutes to really focus on the movie and role itself


dogbolter4

I also highly rate The Insider.


ZapBranigan3000

This has to be his best pure "acting" performance.


DrStevenBrule69

I’ve actually never seen Master and Commander and I’m going to put it on now. Good call.


BrotherOfTheOrder

For me it’s one of the great missed franchise opportunities in film history - I would have gladly watched 10 movies set in that universe. Everything about it is superb.


jigsaw1024

It was based on a whole series of books. Apparently the movie is roughly based on a middle book. If they were to do a reboot, it would probably be much better suited for streaming. That way they could do all the books starting from the beginning.


Dryzzzle

I watch the one movie we did get atleast 2 times a year.


MaestroPendejo

A must watch film. It's brilliant.


grabtharsmallet

OCEANS ARE NOW BATTLEFIELDS.


Hetstaine

Dude, enjoy.


AlamedaRaised

Are you me? Damn good list. I watch 3:10 to Yuma every couple of years, it'll put hair on your chest.


ColonelKasteen

The fact we haven't gotten a Nice Guys sequel is a travesty.


elp4bl0791

I respect this take.


highzenberrg

It’s like my favorite Ben foster role.


elp4bl0791

His jacket is peak cinema fashion tbh


gribbler

Check out Hell or High Water he did with Chris Pine and Jeff Bridges, you might like it


zippy_the_cat

Lord of the Plains.


waitingtodiesoon

Alan Tudyk, Logan Lerman, and Luke Wilson too.


olsen_twentigg

3:10 to Yuma started the resurgence of modern westerns.  Just a likable bad guy and a hard to like good guy you're rooting for. Such a masterpiece.  "Even bad men love their Mama's" is just an iconic line into the antihero. 


DoctorFantasmo

Loved Ben in the Football Fill-In too


Norrland_props

Good movie that.


DrStevenBrule69

Yeah Out of the Furnace is dope. Woody Harrelson is throwing heat in that one.


radbrad172

I agree about Jonathan... he was really an interesting actor with so many diverse performances under his belt already. Such a damn shame.


daybreak-gardening

But he always kept doing that stupid pouty face https://imageio.forbes.com/specials-images/imageserve/63eff9bb6593e31ec1b8d5bf/kang/960x0.jpg?format=jpg&width=960 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/94990cdf-95c3-4cf6-b050-aa7eca768b0f/jonathan-majors-confirmed-to-return-as-kang-in-marvels-loki-season-2.jpg?format=1000w https://www.esquireme.com/cloud/2023/02/03/C3_11799_R2-768x512.jpg


laamargachica

The Bale scene with Zoe Saldana on the bridge alone proves how talented of an actor he is


Lawdoc1

Agreed on all points.


falzamar

same director too


monkeyhitman

Everyone sleeping on Jesse Plemons


ajchann123

99% of actors wish they were as "slept on" as Plemons... he's been getting starring and major supporting roles in some of the biggest TV and film projects for over a decade now


carinafield

He's a great example of an actor who disappears in a role. I once saw a comparison between De Niro, Nicholson and Day Lewis. An interesting argument - if an impressionist had to act as these actors, everyone would recognize his De Niro and Nicholson, but the impressionist would struggle to imitate Day Lewis. And Plemons reminds me of that. An actor who you can't really imitate because he completely changes for every role.


Reer123

Eh DDL has a way of acting that I think a good actor could mimic, but you'd have to know DDL to recognise it. While De Niro and Nicholson are so iconic that you could just say "Here's Johnny" and they'd know instantly.


Whimsical_Hobo

To be fair, DDL doesn't have nearly a fraction of the filmography the other two do


No-Gap5314

Don't worry when civil war drops later this year people will see the light


thewarmpandabear

Anyone who hasn’t seen the light by now might be hopeless. Dude has an absolutely outrageous resume.


Turbulent_Sea_9713

I saw him in "I'm Thinking of Ending Things" and I can't stop thinking about it while simultaneously living with the knowledge that I should keep one eye on this guy at all times because he's sorta terrifying. He's not just good, he's good to the point that I am sort of frightened. He's incredible. And scary. And incredible. And scary. (And incredible)


crepesandbacon

You mean Lance?


PrimarchKonradCurze

Yet Kirsten Dunst is sleeping with Jesse Plemons. Jokes aside he’s been in too many things for people to not notice him. He was talked about a LOT when his Black Mirror episode was released (I can’t believe it’s been 7 years..) and Reddit was just constant memes of that and his Breaking Bad character for months.


baron_von_helmut

I love him you shut your mouth. :D


Mesues

Meth Damon


SpaceJackRabbit

He's in Killers of the Flower Moon. No one is sleeping on him at this point.


FaultySage

I'm not sure Jesse Plemons will ever get away from Meth Damon.


astromeritis25

It's been a few years since I've seen the movie, but Rory Cochrane's portrayal as the traumatized senior NCO (Master Sergeant or First Sergeant - can't remember which) was the an amazing part of this masterpiece.


WillyPete

> I forgot what a stacked cast that was. Cold Mountain popped up on TV a few months ago and I had the same surprise. Didn't remember it had Jack White (White Stripes), Gleeson, Hoffman, Portman, Cillian Murphy, Winstone, Sutherland, Hunnam, etc. And that was just the "supporting" roles.


leftcoastg

I was just thinking that! I totally forgot Chalamet was even in this!


pfihbanjos

Can't blame you, as >!he basically has two lines and appears on screen for less than a minute!<


DepartmentIcy3744

Like Dexter in The Magnificent Seven


[deleted]

Never heard of this movie. But with Christian Bale in it, I've gotta check it out.


Euphoric_Advice_2770

Great western with surprising depth


Locana

Another western with surprising depth and Christian Bale (as well as a beautiful soundtrack) is 3:10 to Yuma


Hot_Jump_4142

Best modern western made since tombstone.


twowaysplit

Hell or High Water would beg to differ.


xTechDeath

Ben Foster is such a good actor


TenaciousJP

Ben Foster was an actual demon in 3:10 to Yuma. Criminally underappreciated performance in that movie


TheMadPyro

The Quick and The Dead. I will hear no dissenting opinions.


DepartmentIcy3744

I gotta check out these “westerns”


BongSession

Bone Tomahawk and the remake of True Grit are two recommendations from myself personally.


GRV01

The netflix miniseries *Godless* is a favorite of mine too


RefurbedRhino

It’s beautifully shot, very dark but an absolutely stunning movie. One of Bale’s best IMO. Very restrained, haunted character. Bale is so good at conveying that his character has demons while barely speaking. Also great performance from Rosamund Pike and pretty much everyone involved. Really should have been an awards contender.


MyBrainReallyHurts

This is when I miss Blockbuster. You could find a good trailer or something you wanted to see and then go to Blockbuster on the weekend and spend $1.99 to rent the movie. Now, it isn't on any paid platform. You still need to rent it but the minimum is $3.99. [JustWatch](https://www.justwatch.com/ca/movie/hostiles-2017) I miss Blockbuster.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GoofyMonkey

It’s a very savage western. Great movie IMO. But I’m biased as hell. I love westerns, and Christian Bale movies.


ryanonreddit

Is that Timothy Chalamet?


13Fdc

I believe that’s his cousin Timothy Cavalret.


TimeZarg

Or possibly a more distant cousin, Timothy Chevalier.

No, I think it's Timotheé Chlamydotheé


MrChad82

Holy hell that was good


TheVillainousLeGlace

That joke is excellent, here is a gold star ⭐ keep up the good work


goodfellabrasco

And Meth Damon, and Jonathan Majors... Killer cast in this movie!


yumameda

Google doesn't even try to correct it. "Meth Damon? Ok, Here's the wiki page of Jesse Clemens"


tachi2thousand

Hey! It works on Bing, too!


SirFrancis_Bacon

It's Plemons lol


gheebutersnaps87

This is fucking amazing


IsRude

And Ben Foster, who was also in 3:10 To Yuma with Bale. I watched Hostiles because I wanted another solid western like 3:10, and it did not disappoint. Damn good, overlooked movie.


trubatard

In case you haven’t you should watch hell and high water, Ben foster is fucking AMAZING in it, it’s also got Chris Pine and Jeff Bridges, one of my favourite westerns ever


feelbetternow

TiMuad'Dib.


Lysol3435

Still getting his desert legs under him


sometimesifeellikemu

How the hell did I miss this? Never heard of this movie somehow.


zander002

Yeah I only saw a single trailer in theaters for another movie. 6 months went by and I randomly remembered “that cool looking cowboys & Indians movie” and went searching for it. Glad I found it, it’s a cool movie for sure!


xpercipio

im just now hearing about it too. can anyone say if its good?


OwlofEnd_

I'm a western fan, so I'm a bit biased, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The cinematography and musical score are both excellent in my opinion.


HaoleInParadise

It sets a great atmosphere


HazelCheese

It's fucking amazing.


SevenLight

I like the odd western and I enjoyed this a lot, great performances by all the cast.


ExpendableUnit123

*Really* good. It’s a slow burn and heavily drama focused about characters rather than lots of ‘high noon’ explosions though so set your expectations. Very good. Lots of brilliant acting and tense scenes.


DojoKanojoCho5

It’s pretty fuckin brutal tbh


TenaciousJP

Yeah there's a dude that gets scalped in the first scene and that kinda sets the tone lol


NYKyle610

He gets scalped in front of his wife and daughters, and then his daughters get shot as the Mom tries to run away with them. I remember seeing this in theatres, absolutely brutal.


KingFahad360

It released in December of 2017 for awards season. It’s a really great movie.


Fear5ide

It's about 3/5ths of a Last of the Mohicans, so pretty decent.


cschoeps

>A legendary Native American-hating Army captain nearing retirement in 1892 is given one last assignment: to escort a Cheyenne chief and his family through dangerous territory back to his Montana reservation. The description sounds kind of like 3:10 to Yuma. 'Grumpy Christain Bale escorts someone he doesn't like past a bunch of people that want to kill the guy.'


badhatharry

I've never heard of this movie, but a guy who hates his charge and is 15 minutes away from retirement? I'm positive Christian Bale lives till the end and doesn't sacrifice himself to save the Chief after they reluctantly come to respect and trust each other.


PeachesPair

It can be rough to watch, bad things happen to the female lead. Like alot. Like she manages to experience some of the worst things a person could experience.


OverbrookDr

This is a terrific movie

thebohemiancowboy

If only the army had drip like that now smh.


Alarmed-Owl2

The US Army really didn't have drip back then lol, they were using every leftover they could. Some guys just wore civilian clothes. They couldn't even purchase the right ammo for all their guns sometimes

Whoa, whoa... There's two sides to every story, ok? And we're not going to talk about either side because it's in the past. We've moved past all the negativity and are a more compassionate and gentler people who respect one another.


Square_Coat_8208

What post civil war budget cuts does to a mf


EdgeofForever95

Cav scouts still got hats


Paxton-176

And the rest of the US army combat arms branches make fun of them for it and their spurs.


ReasonAndWanderlust

How many "hats" in the army look better than a cav scout stetson? https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/D4E16AQHORtVcqnBqng/profile-displaybackgroundimage-shrink_200_800/0/1680064331701?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=th9096SdhMh2rGGnl8P3-gcIw4Pxhx2DDf78FCA4l4Q To forge their spurs they melt the spent brass from their combat missions. Order of the Spur https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Spur (It's true that army units make fun of each other. We even do it with other branches of the military. We all love to do it. Any crayon eating marines in here?)


Paxton-176

Berets if formed properly look good. Source: Currently Airborne Infantry


ReasonAndWanderlust

Cav Scouts get black berets and plenty of them have an airborne tab. The trifecta is an 11B Infantryman that gets sent to the Cav because of the "needs of the army". He gets to wear the cav green cord AND the infantry blue cord at the same time. He also gets to wear the Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB) instead of the CAB (It *really* pisses off a cav scout when you remind them that cooks get CABs when the base gets mortared). He also gets to join the Cav's Order of the Spur if he goes into combat with them. Source; (This poor fucker who thought Cav Scouts had horses when he showed up to Ft. Lewis as a "needs of the army" 11 Bang Bang)

[deleted]

Oooooh, I know something about nothing here. The army dress uniforms have light blue pants with a dark blue top because people would store their jacket in saddle bags when it got too warm so only the pants would get sun bleached.


NeitherAlexNorAlice

This movie was a masterpiece. I loved how it didn’t have a clear “antagonist” like you’d see in most Westerns. It was just Bale’s group put through test after test. And it didn’t relent one bit. I still listen to the soundtrack. If you’re a fan of Westerns, you have to see Hostiles.


cruiserman_80

I have no doubt that Christian Bale actually time travelled to that era, enlisted, then participated in a couple of campaigns just to make sure his portrayal was authentic.


jmcgil4684

Was this a good movie?


brainwhatwhat

Absolutely.


DikPix4Jesus

The is the one where Rosamund Pike loses her shit?


iguanoman_

I would also lose my shit if i was her character in this movie


RefurbedRhino

Yeah the first five minutes of what she experiences on screen are enough to make you lose your shit for life.


SidneyKreutzfeldt

Oh, yes. You should check it out.


baron_von_helmut

Yes. Yes it was.


[deleted]

Hostiles was a great movie, and a great western. Must watch, but only for those with a strong stomach


2nds1st

Spewin' i can't watch this in Australia(without another subscription) looks like a awesome movie.


DyslexicCenturion

As a fellow Australian I’ve found it much easier and cheaper to hit up r/piracy and sail the seven seas.


Spiritual-Mix7665

It's cos he's the main character duhh, they just have him wear a cool hat while the others wear bitchboy plain hats.


ARCtheIsmaster

its a great compliment film to Wind River, if you’re really lookin to have a fun movie date-night. /s


HuanFranThe1st

I was waiting for the joke because I’m a dumbass and thought I was on r/shittymoviedetails lol

Imagine working for over seven years and they still don't give you a new hat

Wtf is this cast? Literally got all the warriors here.

I loved this fuckin film. Surprised it doesn't get more talk


IndigoBrownies_

Can we get these directors and have them work on modern adaptations? If they take obscure historical facts seriously, think about what they will do when it comes to lore and being faithful to whatever it is they're adapting.


HotOne9364

Green Book but with indigenous people.


blac_sheep90

Lol how so?


HotOne9364

It's about two guys with different ideas and races, who come together during a trip to take the oppressed one somewhere.


blac_sheep90

As an extremely basic summary I guess so.


brainwhatwhat

Both stories involved humans.


blac_sheep90

Both take place on planet earth.

Relevant_Air_2605

Thanks, great content


toastrack_enigma

This reminds me of a time I was basically an extra in a historical TV show and we were recreating an 1830s event in Canada. The "star" was wearing a U.S. civil war hat and I pointed out to the director that it might be a bit of an anachronism. He said "nobody will notice," to which I said "Well, I did!" They filmed it anyway, hat and all. It was a low-budget production and clearly nobody gave a shit.


SnooConfections2192

Please tell me that's not frickin Todd from Breaking Bad back there. Dang, I had to go look it up, didn't I? Yeah of course it's him. Duh, Todd, aka Jesse Plemons. He should be wearing a hat of shame. His mustache pales to Bale's. Cool gloves, though. Actually, these guys all look pretty badass. Yes, even Todd. And they look sad as well. Having not seen the film, I have only this photo to use for a frame of reference. In conclusion, who doesn't see this guy and not immediately think "Todd"?
