'Worse movie'? I guess you haven't seen many movies.
Maybe there was funding to film there, so that's where they went. Or the producers just liked the look of certain locations. It's one of those films that has/needs no reference to any real place. I wouldn't take it as a slight against Scots.
No money was exchanged. Derek wasn't actually in the Mafia, and some of the gang were surprised that no 'arrangement' was ever discussed.
How did you first get to know them?
There was a lot implied between them, which only they knew/know.
Then Lisa appeared so Bobby grew jealous.
According to the book, juries would go easy on women, so they didn't get death. The judge knew this, so gave Lisa a much longer sentence than second degree usually carried.
She said stop. He didn't.
Exactly. There were so many ways he could walk away from Bobby. He just got so used to the violence from their steroid abuse.
This is how it was in the book. Donny especially was on dope and acid throughout, and the rest weren't far behind. They just decided to go along with the plan for something to do. Intentional or otherwise, the film shown the ridiculousness of what happened.
Not sure if you've read the book, but I think it was the planning and brutality of the killing, and how half the group just went along for the ride. Killing someone just for something to do.
Regardless of what Bobby had done to some of them, it was judged as premeditated first-degree murder, in a state that had the death penalty.
Another poster asked a similar question before. Maybe manslaughter, but it could all be considered self-defence too.
Kathy was just a passenger.
He was happy being by the sea and had feelings for Simone. That all had an effect on him. But he knew the game was up.
Depends how the gun would be looked at. They could all do a few years for handling the thing.
And George getting back into vice as soon as he was out of prison.
The credits scene seemed a bit too happy an ending.
Was the third guy Perry Fenwick, who knew Simone was back after seeing her in the Jag at Kings Cross?
I think people are getting carried away with the suicide idea. The bus restarting gives Enid the inspiration to leave town. But if she'll be any happier, who knows?
Regardless of future genres, how often does a film have that many actors who go on to greater fame?
Everyone in this is always popping up in things.
I read that some of Adele's scenes were filmed out of character, when she was eating or hanging around the set. Almost a documentary style. That was why some of the scenes might seem... is 'unprofessional' the right word? Also why the character was given her real name, so Adele could literally be herself.
Have we just agreed that the whole film is nonsense?
