lets just give him a load gun
The only thread we've had for this kino that wasn't just crying about black people was the one where everyone was talking about pooping.
>>215489612It's what he wished for. He could have asked for a pet elephant and he would have gotten it.
the long shart
>>215489524Garage movie. Killed the MC just so blacky could make it
mark hammil was miscast
>>215489625I'm crying because they cast a 32-year-old nigger to play a 16-year-old white guy.
Idk why but the part where his dad gets killed by the major was fucking funny i was dying laughing nobody else laughed in the theater
>>215491911David jonsson is great but he really did a shit accent i had to turn subtitles on nobody talks like that
>>215489524I enjoyed this movie but the ending was pretty stupid
>>215489553i lol'd
>>215491975in the book [spoilers] garrety lives and he keeps walking because by that point he's so exhausted he is hallucinating dark shapes in front of him, and he thinks those are other walkers he still has to beat so he keeps going [/spoilers]
>>215492651I thought it was a reference to the dark man. The walking dude, who is endlessly sowing discord and chaos whoever he goes.
>>215489694I didn't know they had Indians in this movie
>>215489694KEKI ain't watching that movie nigga
>>215493044yeah King likes to use a lot of those images over and over - but those are strictly part of his own narrative.In the world of film and television there is a different mandate and we will always see terms like the number 42, and 'a storm is coming' again and again.
>>215493489Quick rundown on 42?
>>215493519King's age when he got van'd
>>215493519it shows up everywhere.some people incorrectly believe its a Stephen King thing, or a Kubrick thing or a Star Trek thing but its more pervasive and perverse than that
>>215493822
>>215494798I thought it was a reference to a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy where a super robot says the meaning of life is 42. What are you talking about ?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10374610/trivia/?ref_=tt_ov_ql_3In the book, the walkers have to maintain a speed of 4 mph, but in the movie at the request of Stephen King, they changed it to 3 mph as he felt the original speed was unrealistic for the duration of the contest.yeah it takes me an hour & twenty to jog six miles, been that way for years
>>215489524this movie was kind of shit desu. very contrived premise, unlikable characters, donald trump for some reason, and a silly ending where the bad guy had no reason to die at all.
>>215495342Every cartoony fascist isn't trump, but trump is a cartoony fascist.
>7 THIS IS YOUR 2ND WARNING>7 IT'S ONLY BEEN A QUARTER MILE
>mom you dont understand, I HAVE to sacrifice myself for a nigger, cause he can see the beauty in this world or something>anyways good luck surviving on your own now :^)
>>215492651In the book the MC dies at the end but some morons don't get it because the simplest metaphor is too hard for them and they think he was literally running instead of life leaving his body.
>>215495377>Every cartoony fascist isn't trumphe shouts out make america number 1 again

Stephen King is a hack the guys a fuken weirdo
>>215495906This is what the hoi polloi says about anyone that doesn't work a menial job and drinks beer after work.
This is possibly the most boring movie I've ever seen in my life.Also, Phillip Seymour Hoffman's son is a shit actor. I'm glad his dad isn't alive to see him butcher the craft.
>>215489694Some guy had to animate shit coming out of his ass
>>215489694Imagine being this actor. Invinting the entire family to the movie premiere. Finally a role in a big Hollywood production. This is your scene.
>>215495906
>>215489524my idea for a sequel to the long walk: "the long clap"Movie about a group of Cannes Festival goers who just watched a movie about the plight of Palestinians or African migrants sneaking into Europe, and now have to give a standing ovation. Anyone who stops clapping will be summarily cancelled.
>>215489524>The Medium Jaunt
I walk
>>215495994>hoi polloiI now remembered that scene in BCS where the lawyer pronounces it like "ho-E pollo-E", and now I'm angry.
>>215497857they could have just given him an unloaded gun. or have the major move back to safety and then give him the gun. it indeed does not make any sense huh
>>215496439I chuckled. Nice idea.
>>215489524so do they sleep or what? you cant walk 324 miles without sleeping at all
>>215489524>famous lottery known by everyone in the country>they write books about it and stream it live on tv>not a single dude tests his luck beforehand joining the walk to see if he can manage to do it>not even the longwalk geek>almost everyone starts with happy scouts attitude even though they know everyone except the winner will diethis shit is dumber than hunger games
>>215498154He asked for the specific gun the soldier was carrying.
>>215498371they walk for 5 days, the longest recorded sleepless period was 11 days. It's possible. Plus the main character takes short naps on his black boyfriend's shoulder a few times
>>215489524The scenes with the main character and his mom are my favorite.
>>215498397yeah he said he wanted that gun to keep as a souvenir or something. he doesn't need the bullets. even if he wanted the gun to be loaded, the major doesn't have to be at risk
>>215496215>animate>>215489694Isn't that culture appropriation?
I actually liked the black guy winning instead. I also thought the ending could've been more bleak.
>>215498605no way the white guy was winning. the only question was what the black guy would do when he won. in the end he did the obvious cathartic thing
>>215498636The white guy wins in the book. I think I would've liked the black guy to run to his death afterwards or something. I thought it was grim that he spent so long trying to convince the white guy to give up such a vengeful wish, only to do it himself though.
>>215498660i would have liked the black guy to wish for 1 billion dollars or something. have the whole backstory be made up, and the friendship a strategy
>>215498729I don't think that would've been very satisfying.
>>215498742that's ok
>>215489694Mmmmh context?
>>215495377Trump definitely lives rent free in King's mind. You just have to look at his Twitter.
>>215498803probably more to do with the director seeing as how the book was written a long time ago
>>215498803The book was in the 80s.He does live rent free in his head, but he's an American citizen, so why wouldn't he be?
>>215498823The director certainly shares the same views>>215498841>why wouldn't he be?Because politics are actually fake and gay. Hating politicians is like hating the puppet instead of the puppet master, or instead of hating the whole theater for that matter. So it just proves that King is a supreme midwit, or a puppet himself.
>>215498779They're shot if they stop walking.
> the black guy wins> doesn't ask for Garraty mom's ass
the premise is interesting enough but it makes zero fucking sense, why would anybody sign up for this shit when they have a 1/50 chance of winning? even more bizarre, they say that every single man signs up for this, what the fuck for? just because they're living in poverty? it makes zero sense and it would never happen. if they wanted the movie not to be nonsensical then they should have added stronger motivations for doing this shit. if you're that desperate for money wouldn't you rather sell a kidney, instead of signing up to a death race with a 2% chance of living and becoming rich?I enjoyed the gimmick of the walk itself, but the movie itself is retarded nonsense, if you want the movie to be emotional and have weight then you need to actually make the scenario somewhat believable
>>215500130The standard of living and state of the world is not clearly shown in the movie. You don't know what you'd do if you were truly desperate.The more unbelievable part was regular people being able to walk for 5 days straight without stopping, especially the lead character who was a bit chubby. The only somewhat feasible people are the skinny black guys.
>>215500130irl would be so many contestants it would take place every week. Brothers risk life everyday in the hood for much less 1/50 for becomming a millionaire + make a wish.tiktokers do dumber shit for free
>>215495597This shit fucking infuriated me. Imagine doing that to your mom, all because some ni—african american was an orphan or some bullshit.
>>215498388>Everyone actively helping each other despite the fact that they know only one persons walking (pun intended) out of there
>>215501035yeah but not if you get shot in the fucking head if you fail lol
>>215501177are you a nigger?
>>215501242>>215501242>are you a nigger?Are you a child? They signed up to participate in an event that they could only win through the deaths of others. I dont enjoy others dying to contribute to my success. Wanna guess what I dont go around doing?
>>215501298you are a nigger
>>215489612I've got a load gun for ya...
>>215501035>Brothers risk life everyday in the hood for much less 1/50 for becomming a millionaire + make a wish.I wish 98% of hoodrats would die every day lmao, you don't realize how stupidly high this rate is. This premise is absurdly unrealistic if the players are not forced to play the game, them being volunteers just doesn't make sense. I could buy it if they were depicted as Auschwitz tier desperate, but not in the quiet world they seem to live in.
>>215500130You're retarded, hordes of people even today are desperate or stupid enough to sign up for this. 50k people die by suicide in US every year, I'd guess a huge percentage of that from living in destitute conditions and drowning in debt, all these people would at least take an unlikely shot in the walk. Moreover, the movie implies that all boys sign up for participation because they're most likely pressured into it culturally, kind of like a proof of manliness.
>>215495994King literally wrote a child gangbang scene in one of his books. Don't pretend that he's not a weirdo.
>>215498605>I also thought the ending could've been more bleak.He walked away in slow motion and all the other people had disappeared. I think it's safe to say that his instantly shot down.
>>215498729Kek. Way more believable, but I'm not sure the "producers" would have agreed to that.
Terrible movie. Didn't feel anything because the 2nd male lead was black
I liked it
i am the le long walker xDi um like to....le go on long walks o.O
For all its DEI, this movie felt pretty racist to me.The black guy felt like some uncle Tom magical negro stereotype complete with old timey accent.Couldn't make out half the shit he was saying.
>>215496165>Todd from breaking bad is playing young PSH in the next hunger games movieHonestly good casting
>>215503051>Couldn't make out half the shit he was saying.
Very little character development, so you don't really give a shit who dies. Find out it's the same guy who directed hunger games, so no doubt it's shit. It could have been another Stand By Me, but it's shit.
Would someone be cool hip and sexy enough to throw this movie on mega? I currently am stuck on iOS and cannot torrent anything.

gentlemen its become abundantly clear that to settle all questions about the feasibility of the long walk we must institute the long walk. 16-18 year olds are eligible. The rest of us will have the duty to watch and drink beer while sitting from the sidelines.

>>215504353Baaaased. Thanks senpai
>>215501753>>215501843The main character discusses it with his dad how it is probably not voluntary and that is one of the dissenting opinions that gets him in trouble with the major.
>>215489524fucking hate battle royale slop they're really running out of ideas now
>>2154935196-7
>>215504459This story was written before even hunger games let alone BR.

>>215504751> w*men> walkinglmao
>>215489524This film still sits with me. Far better than it had any right to be.>>215489612Ending was definitely one of its weaker parts; it ended too abruptly. But the shooting made sense. A kid with nothing is set to receive everything. The general couldn't even fathom the idea of throwing that away
>>215502932kek
>>215489694Imagine walking 45 miles over 15 hours while having that shit in your underwear.
>>215489524let's talk about The Longest Walk instead.
>>215504828yeah your butthole will turn into a fiery mess of chaffed shit in about 15 minutes let alone 15 hours.
>>215489524Was anyone else distracted by the amount of times in a row the mile number gave a remainder of two when divided by 3? Dunno why that annoyed me so much.
>>215489648they cant not give it to him. imagine the outrage if they didnt grant the wish they had promised to grant
>>215504900how autistic are you fren?
>>215498388>not a single dude tests his luck beforehand joining the walk to see if he can manage to do itDo what? There's no finish line. I imagine every walk ends after a different distance. And because it's so extreme, anyone who does it will almost certainly wreck themselves significantly, if not permanently, making it impossible to train for several months afterwards. And at that point they'd be worse off than before.They were all young men and they (almost) all seemed pretty capable of walking at 3mph for more than 24 hours straight which is already a fucking feat. It seems like they were mostly all as prepared as they could be.
>>215504900extremely interesting take. 2 digit number sequences in films are interesting, to be sure. so are other codes and the number 42.
>>215498660>I thought it was grim that he spent so long trying to convince the white guy to give up such a vengeful wish, only to do it himself though.That's why I hated it but also loved it. If it came from Ray then it would feel like he hadn't learned anything and he'd still be letting down his mother. Coming from Pete, you saw how much he had been affected. He no longer wanted that better world because he had been hurt so badly he only wanted revenge.>>215498729>have the whole backstory be made up, and the friendship a strategyThen they couldn't have done the moment where he tried to give up and let Ray win which it made it so much more bittersweet.
>>215500130Did you not watch the film? Or did you just pay zero attention? There's literally several conversations talking about how it's not really voluntary.
>>215501117Congrats on completely missing the point?
>>215501844are you implying teenagers dont want to have sex in real life? or are you saying a creative author who makes a living writing disturbing fiction should ignore reality to protect the sensibilities of pearl clutchers?
>>215504987People are really showing how myopic they are. After all, this is an allegory for conscription and military, and going to war, and all that. in my opinion at least. It’s only voluntary in so far as there is incredible societal pressure to sign up for the walk. While there have been drafts and that is certainly not voluntary. Their have been situations in our past where young men are shamed because they are not in the fight. In fact, I bet that is informed by the time period given that a lot of young men were shamed for not going to Vietnam and going to college instead, and those guys rebelled against those ideas and became hippies.
>>215505027If it was just a matter of course, why did he write the scene so titillating?
Why did some nerd enter trying to write a book when the whole thing is televised
>>215489524You can easily drive across the interstate 800 miles in a single day. Am I supposed to be wow'd by this shit?
>>215504751You couldn't do it without being incredibly sexist or painfully boring.The story is brilliant because of the way they all come together. Most of them don't like each other but there's a shared desire to not see anyone else die. And that only works because men are more stoic and closed off than women.You do the exact same story with women and it doesn't seem anything special because we're used to seeing women in story value companionship and a joint struggle against the odds. And because we're so used to it, it seems so much more unrealistic because we never see it in real life.>tldr; this scenario wouldn't be evoking any new character interactions by the women, thus losing the pin of what made the story interesting. And it would feel preachy and cliched.
>>215489694I am not Indian, but this was the character I most emotionally resonated with in the entire film, I felt really bad for him. The sickly feeling of having diarrhea when you're out and about is already torture, so having to blast ass constantly with a likely chafed asshole in a death game just feels so painfully unfair and cruel. I feel like that'd be my luck to get diarrhea or a vomitting bug or something if I competed.

>>215505666
Hated Hamill in this. He did sound like a bum, not like a gritty Major.
>>215505666why do you think people would just be hanging around hoping people die, rather than actively contributing to their deaths in ways that the state struggles to regulate.imagine, if you will, a group of hicks setting up some big panels of aluminum as mirrors and reflecting sunlight onto the road all day before the walkers arrive to super heat it.the resulting stretch of road becomes the site of the next heat exhaustion.

>>215489524Why is there no women in the Long Walk?
>>215509478they used an uber
>>215509478there's at least one femoid guard
>>215498154When he points the gun at him the Major says "He's not going to do it, he's just become rich" or something along those lines and is like "Come on son, it's not too late"It was pure hubris, he couldn't fathom the idea that the winner would throw it all away to shoot him when all the other winners previously have just taken their prize and left.
>>215498660>I thought it was grim that he spent so long trying to convince the white guy to give up such a vengeful wish, only to do it himself thoughThe black guy made it clear through the course of the movie that all he wanted was a family and somebody to call a brother, he found that in the white guy. That's literally why he kept helping the others out and basically dragged the main white guy to the end.It's also why he tried to sacrifice himself at the end. He already got his wish and was hoping the white guy would win and wish for something other than the gun so he could have his revenge.When the white guy flipped that around and forced him to win instead, he had nothing left, that's why he stands there not saying anything while the Major is like "What do you want for your wish?", he doesn't have an answer.I know the book is a bit different but I thought that the whole point of the movie was that the black guy never intended to win in the first place, he was there to help a "brother" finish.
>kill yourself because all you want to do is kill the major and you can't bring yourself to see enough good in the world to try to change it for the better, like the nigger can>nigger just kills the major anywayThere's going to be some awkward conversations in the afterlife desu
>>215509623another plothole, if you can wish for anything and you become a multimillionaire you could just take the money and hire someone to kill the major LATERand why did they even focus on him, other dudes shot their buddies not the major, the major didn't come up the whole lottery idea
>>215509858>There's going to be some awkward conversations in the afterlifeonly if you can call hell from heaven
>>215505397that was fine but did they really have to keep playing it on repeat the whole time?

I cried 3-4 times in the movie bros
>>215510943you were in this movie!?
>>215510965No watching it silly.
Emotionally effective but, fuck did they fumble the ending.Throughout the whole movie I never got the sense that McVries was ever suffering from exhaustion.And you never got the proper build up of The Crowd or just how fucking nuts they were going in the book.I don't know why they couldn't go with the original ending, if they had effectively featured Stebbins.
here's my take on the film and its lottery system.the lottery is a farce. In reality every boy in the country signs up, but the boys who are selected are determined through the analysis of state intelligence and secret police to be highly likely to develop into enemies of the state.Social outcasts. Trouble makers. Fight starters. The Journalist. People with concealed illnesses. People who want to change the world. People who hate the cops. The Child of one of the majors former victims and the bastard off spring of the major - all threats to the state in their own way and in their own time.The major is the head of the state, regardless of his rank - the way everyone called Gaddafi "Col Gaddafi". So he simply sets up a death march every year with 49 people who would have ended up enemies of the state being liquidated and one being essentially so hobbled and enriched by the whole affair as to most likely abandon the idea of changing the system having survived the worst ordeal it has.
>>215510906no but you can use psychological warfare
also - did anyone else notice this old lady and her message of dissent and rebellion? she's emphasized the word 'SCATTER' as if to suggest the notion to the boys walking past that perhaps they should all just scatter and run in different directions all at once to escape the walk

>>215495597That's what Kitty looks like now??
we gotta keep on walking bros
>>215509449I have high arches and Converse are the only shoes that don't make my fasciitis flare up.I would absolutely walk in some high-top Sneeds (formerly Chucks). Better to take a gamble on their shit quality than die like a bitch an hour in because my tendons are electrocuting me.
>>215509449If I was doing the long walk. I would wear sketchers shoes with a composite toe for safety. most nurses and factory workers I know seem to love them for having to stay on their feet all day. they seem to last a long while too. I also know a good reebok boot I would try. but they would likely be too expensive for poorfags like these kids. so sketchers is the safer choice for me.
>>215514958idk if I would agree that sketchers last a long time, but they are decently comfortable. mine always melt in about 6-9 months but i walk all the timein the book and in the movie Stebbins has two pairs of shoes. In the book he actually changes from his tennis shoes to his moccasins. If it were me and I had 90 seconds I would bring the extra pair of shoes and swap them out so that they air out and dont get as hot. Try to reduce the blistering that way with decently walked in shoes.but in the movie they only get 30 seconds of warning time before being ticketed unlike the 90 seconds in the book. obviously this is for film pacing but it also wildly changes strategy for things like swapping footwear midwalk.
Just finished it. Why was the major so obsessed with "sac"?
>>215514958on the subject of shoes though. I would imagine that in a fully fleshed out universe: the 19 years of economic recovery that had been created by the long walk would ultimately disproportionately favor shoe manufacturers, since all the smart boys in the country would try to get some practice walking in, and would value good shoes. shoe companies would advertise their shoes as having carried past walkers to victory - and sell those shoes to regular consumers. the shoe industry would probably be restored to greatness quite quickly if people actually took walking seriously.but they show up in unlaced and oversized leather boots and it almost looks like they dont really care or are just too poor to afford more than one pair of shoes.If people are that poor - how can walkers from out of state even afford to get themselves to the starting line?
they swore too much in this moviei couldn't take the last contestants seriously when they died by suicideIndian guy had it right. Take out a guard at leastDo anything
>>215514958hard toe sneakers are for absolute retards. You need something that comes up over your ankle if you're going to have the shell over your toes or you fuck your knees up immediately. The only kind of hard toes shoe you should ever buy are the ariat cowboy boots or outright rubber boots
>>215498371just take lots of speed
>>215495377Fascism is not real. Leftists call anyone who can successfully combat them fascist.
>>215515099Agreed
>>215515684>Fascism is not reallol fr? what the fuck was that retard musolini thinking naming his party that lol. "the italian faggot party" lmao
>Changed nothing and leaves his family worse off for no reason award
Realistically nobody would support anyone knowing there's only one winner, the faster they're gone the better for you.
>>215518616Almost nothing about it was realistic. barkovitch baiting the other kid into getting elim'd was the only time someone tried to metagame it.
>Nice walkin, son. What's your name?>Paul. Paul Walker.
>>215489694Dave England?
>>215496165>Phillip Seymour Hoffman's son is a shit actorA fat nepo baby who's only praised because he's a nepo baby
>>215520123Rey. Rey SkyWALKER
>>215489694They couldn't even film it without a cut. Jesus, is this the future of moviemaking? Actual literal shit on the screen with infinite cuts every fraction of a second?
>>215496439>Cannes audience members wake up strapped to their seats and muffled>screen lights up>Let's play a game. Your entire lives, you clapped to show your hubris. What has it done for you? Now, you will clap for your lives. Clap or die, the choice is yours.

>>215496215they used the real thing because cg animation is expensive
>>215495597it's called having empathy
Why didn't he wish yo revive his frens.
>>215489524>Participation being voluntary>Entrants go completely unprepared>Everyone behaves like they're on a school trip>The guards being carricatures>The major being an even bigger carricature >Trying to make up for the light atmosphere with gore>Still need to shoot kids in a closeup The film has huge flaws that break immersion, only a commitee comprised of braindead liberals could come up with something so bad given such an interesting premise.Only thing good is the cinematography.It's not as if they didn't have inspiration. Battle Royale is a much better film at one tenth of a budget. Setting is better, characters are better, violence is better.Instead we got Karen's fever dream about college life under fascist MAGA regime.
Worst piece of shit I've ever seen. Shame because Cooper was fantastic in Licorice Pizza.
>>215505062It would have been fine if they had gone with the war allegory, but sadly the liberals are the war party now, not to mention israel and Stephen Kike, so we got this shit instead.
>>215498660I doubt there was even a black guy in the book. They probably whitewashed Peter Devries, which clearly is a name of an European immigrant.
>>215523908its true. everyone in the book was basically white and occasionally once or twice said the word 'nig...s'
>>215523908>>215524543There's one black kid a in the book called Ewing. He dies pretty early on.
>>215525238there was also a dark figure at the end lol.maybe King is just subconsciously terrified of people in general and N*****s in particular
>>215525238>EwingAnagram of "Ew, nig!"Coincidence?
>>215504789>>215505098yeah whatever I just wanna see girls suffer
Rank got himself killed and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
>>215489524The black guy was God?
>>215523028>empathy is when white people die for black people
>>215515099>walk for 72 hours without a single rest>"just overpower a well-rested trained soldier, take their gun and then shoot them"
desd :---DDDD
>>215489524Wait they made a movie of this? I always liked this books even if stephin king hated it for some reason
>>215523518I actually wondered if this was possible. You get down to the last two, one of you grabs a guards rifle and gets gut shot instead of executed, then you wish for them to save his life after being declared the winner.
>>215496413>spend the past 10 years seething about drumpfler 24/7>finally agree with him about something>it's the epstein pedo list's lack of existencewhat did underage sewer gangbang man mean by this
>>215495906For the most part, they're enjoyable enough young adult books with "mature" elements thrown in so adults don't feel childish reading them. King 's strength isn't the quality or depth of his writing, but the volume he can spit out. Cocaine certainly helped a lot.
>>215491918>muh nietzsche! m-muh kierkegard!>bangit was pretty unintentionally funny. all the changes made from the book are terrible ideas
An underdiscussed aspect of the movie is the explicit references to Existentialism. Ray mentions the books that his father showed him included the works of Nietzsche and Kierkegaard who are considered some of the first Existentialist philosophers. Existentialism is sometimes defined as the question of how we make meaningful and good choices when we are all facing death and how to best use our freedom even in cases where it is severely restricted.
>>215489694Just walk naked and let the shit shoot out of your ass, there is something to learn from our indian neighbors
>To hell with Hint 13. Garraty ran over to the side of the road. The girl saw his number and squealed. She threw herself at him and kissed him hard. Garraty was suddenly, sweatily aroused. He kissed back vigorously. The girl poked her tongue into his mouth twice, delicately. Hardly aware of what he was doing, he put one hand on a round buttock and squeezed gently.
>revenge is bad, find love>if I win I'll wish for the Long Walk to have two winners >wins>revenge!He should've just wish to stop the Long Walk or something more meaningful.
>>215527645>He should've just wish to stop the Long Walk or something more meaningful.They already said you can't do that. Honestly I think Ray was more correct than Pete. If Pete wins and uses that money to do a lot of good he's really just giving legitimacy to the Long Walk, but by killing The Major he's striking a blow against an unjust system.
>what if you had to... walk?Holy shit is that a movie about being killed one by one if they stop walking? I've got to see that! Do you think they'll all die one by one as they stop walking? I have to find out this mystery.
>>215499719she's gonna hand it for free
>>215491805He's a shit actor but as he shares the same politics as Stephen King it's unsurprising he was given the role.
>>215493519Judaism and Kabbalah, apparently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42_%28number%29?wprov=sfla1
>>215495906He's an ugly living embodiment of boomer shitlib politics
>>215511143>do it once or twice>47 other kids now collectively yeet your off the road
I didn't really get who The Major was. They make it seem like he's the pseudo-President but why was he personally executing Ray's dad who was no one special? That seems below the pay grade of a president. There are 50 walkers from 50 states so it's not like this is a smaller remnant of the USA where that might make sense either.
>>215528498it isn't clear in the book alsojust a figure
what would happen if my White Male urge to rape kicked in during a walk?
Would walking backwards be better for you in the long run?
>>215529298no
>>215529298no, but running backwards would be better for you in the long walk
>>215529846kek
>>215493519Its the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.
its up
>>215527026You can't wish for anything until everyone else is dead.
>>215530308nope. its more than that.
>>215489524what a shitty flickthe nigger was overacting like shit the black guy who didn't wipe was pretty goodwhoever wrote those fucking dialogues needs to suffer
>>215493519redditor's guide to the galaxy
>>215496413means it's real for children but "not" for adults...
>>215531071this, everyone spoke weird, said weird shit that wasn't believable at all, and the acting was horseshit. super cringe movie
>>215498605the black guy winning totally undermines the bleakness of the OG story. Just a shit hollywood twist for book readers without putting any thought into it. Pure schlock
>>215527298Damn that would have been hot if they kept that.
>>215530614You’re joking, but I really really really think that he’s gonna make a contest using the format. I mean, squid games was a death game so it really wouldn’t be off-brand for him to do another death game. The question is, how can we make it a little bit you know less than lethal
>>215511143I was confused cause the movie doesn't explain the rules of physical contact at all. Like, one of the dudes gets warning for swinging at the other guy, not even hitting him, but at the same time people are allowed to carry each other. Is it just "negative" physical contact that gets a warning? You can also bring sharp objects along, so what stops the contestant in the final 4 from pulling out a knife and stabbing everyone, earning 3 warnings and winning?
>>215489524Pretty stupid film honestly.No, you can't walk for 300 miles in 4 days with no sleep and no meals. Also, shitting would have eliminated everyone.The ending was arbitrary and stupid too.
>>215532385>Also, shitting would have eliminated everyone.why do they even stop and squat to take a shit? just shit and piss yourself while walking
>>215494881I always considered it a Hitchhikers thing as well. I don't know what the hell these anons are talking about. If it's a number, it's the number 23, which even had that Jim carrey movie. Robert Anton Wilson talks about it.
>>215495377>>215517608Real Fascism hasn't been tried.
>>215493519six seven lol
>>215532375You’re allowed to help. Not interfere. So they both got warnings for fighting. Then rank launched himself across the asphalt. currently I’m fucking convinced. AutoCorrect is more trouble than it is worth.
>that guy who came to write a book about the WalkWas he retarded?
What a stupid fucking premise. Steven King is a hack, so is Harlan Ellison.
>>215489648He wished for a carbine. It was their choice to give him a loaded one.
>>215532839It’s one of the hints. To bring a notebook for notes for the book you’re gonna write planning you’re gonna fucking finish the walk and then you can write a book.Some criticisms I’ve been seeing about this movie are fucking retarded
>>215532385>No, you can't walk for 300 miles in 4 daysprove it>with no sleepThey did sleep, sort of>and no mealsThey were literally shown eating several times. Did you even watch the film?
>>215528498King's take on Big Brother
We could start the real long week tomorrow and people would sign up for it. They'd keep signing up every week too thinking they won't be the ones to die. Trump should try it lol
>>215533077Yeah bro you can sleep while you walk lolFucking dunce
>>215533345Imagine unironically being this dumb.
This movie made me legitimately sad for a while. I think it's the mom stuff. I love my mom more than anything and the idea of putting your own mother through watching your slow painful suicide, even making her drive you there, just bummed me out so bad. Especially the scene where she's on the roadside too. I know that's the point, but what a fucking downer.
I like how nobody in the movie looked tired. Dude after 300+ miles you wouldn't be having deep conversations about love and beauty you'd be shitting blood and each breath is gonna feel like acid and your legs will be reduced to bloody stumps
>>215511079>>215527215Based observant posters. I did not notice those.>>215528498I also thought that was a stretch. It seems like he's just a head of the Burger Gestapo who got promoted to Walk Organizer later in his career. Which makes the MC's whole motivation a long shot of extremely contrived luck. However I think there's also something to the bit where as >>215511040 says, the lottery is faked. If the major cooks the lottery to put his own sons in the walk, maybe he thought it would be interesting to also add a kid who's father he'd executed, quite intentionally, for the same reason. He'll compete that much harder.
>>215517608Oh ok thank you for admitting fascism has not existed for 80+ years
Anons... do you have sac?
>>215489524>candid camera reference Wouldn’t this show not exist in universe? Bad writing
>>215528498It’s called bad writing
>>215505149>a hour
It's so weird when leftoids try to think about right wing thought and can only come up with bizarre and contrived parodies of it. And at the same time they come up with endless amounts of horror themselves through their insane policies. The movie was just midwit narcissism.
I have officially become completely disconnected from modern filmmaking. The fact that people in this thread say they liked this shit is blowing my mind.This was the biggest piece of trash I've ever seen, bar none. It's so incredibly incompetent at dialogue, acting, pacing, editing, etc. It's worse than a student film. A student film at least has soul. I felt literally NOTHING when the characters died. You have to be a special level of bad director to have your audience feel nothing towards the characters dying despite having an hour and forty minutes of storytelling tools to make you care about them.
>>215532385ultra marathon runners do it
>>215495597>judy greerMovie already looked like nigger shit, more it's clear it's complete retard garbage
in both the book and film art suggests that "most guys crap once a week"he might be alluding to a dark reality about the long walk: that its very existence compels young men to adopt a schedule of weekly bowel movements in case they need to hold their poops for walking
>>215538626Or maybe perhaps food scarcity causes people not to have as much poop
>>215538889 possibly... the army gives them nothing but meal pastes on the walk. i feel like eating nothing but paste might cause people to shit themselves hysterically if they were backed up before.
> me winning the long walk
>>215500194>The more unbelievable part was regular people being able to walk for 5 days straight without stopping, especially the lead character who was a bit chubby. The only somewhat feasible people are the skinny black guys.Slightly chubby is actually more likely, since he has more fat stores than all the skinny guys.
>>215538626You have to remember Stephen King wrote the book when he was completely fucked up on pills, coke and booze. His guts weren't working like normal.
>>215538983They were feeding them apparently whenever they asked for it, so i don't think fat stores come into it.
>>215531235out of my face, canner
>>215489612who could foreseen giving a black guy a gun and he shoots someone with it
>>215539000fair... but if we take the book as our guide: thats 30 seconds per warning for a total of 1 minute and 30 seconds before getting shot, unlike the movie which only gives 10 seconds per warning.Now gentlemen... Having myself played video games semi competitively and having been on the clock I can tell you confidently that I can get up from my gaming chair, get the bathroom, take a shit, wipe my ass and be back in under a minute and thirty seconds in order to not disappoint my computer game clan mates winning absolutely nothing of value. So I see no reason why people who are expecting to participate in a contest to the death can't get their act together. Why dont they have wet wipes on the walk? why dont they have spare shoes? do they just want to die are they making no effort at all? or does it take a whole towns worth of friends and family to give those 50-100 boys the resources they need to put together a knapsack and some extra meals for the road, shoes, and getting themselves to the starting line?!
>>215489694The real solution is you let your jeans roll down as you move foreward. Then you keep going and bend backwards and do a fucking Pennywise and shit while you crab walk with your dick to the sky. Do this for a minute and resume.
>>215495377>>215495342The problem is since 1960 there are lots of movies and books in the category"Another story of totalitarian regime in USA"
