Brick. I don’t know how I should start.
It was great, it was exciting, it was anticipating. Brick adalah antara filem indie yang cool, dark investigation movie, set up in high school somewhere in California.
Brick adalah kisah mengenai Brendan, played by Joseph Gordon Levitt, yang menyiasat tentang kehilangan bekas awek die. He is an outsider, never mixed up with high- schooler. Bekas awek Brendan, Emily masuk dalam high society and get tangled up with drug-dealer. Emily dibunuh, dan Brendan needed to know what happened to her.
Cerita ni best and complex in a certain way. At first I couldn’t understand it either. I was searching for a review, a simple explanation on what this movie was, so that I can prepare myself. (yeah I do that sometimes.) The reviews keep saying that this was a good movie. The critic loves it, but not the audiences.
I had the same kind of after-movie-effect feeling that I got after watching ‘V for Vendetta’. I was curious, I want to know, I want to find things that I don’t understand. The dialogues were heavy. You really need to focus on what they were saying, or else you never get to understand a thing. I watched this movie twice and I even search their script on IMDB coz I need to know. Haha. That is how tangled up I am with this movie. It was great actually. Once you found out what really happened, who is their culprit, why he did that, you gained some kind of satisfaction.
Macam Que cakap dalam Papadom, “misteri itu macam bawang ye. Bila kita kupas satu persatu, kita dapat yang indah.“ lolz
So if you asked me, I don’t really suggest you guys to watch this movie, unless you are into mysterious, heavy-dialogue kind of movie, which I am. If you watched this movie and enjoyed it, I guess it was something worth being proud of.
p/s : now I do see Gordon as someone to be admired at. Because he was so good in this shit.
p/s/s : title movie ni, 'brick' means a block of heroin, compressed roughly to a size of a brick.
