"In Bruges" - Tourism

Bruges (pronounced broozh), the most well-preserved medieval city in the whole of Belgium, is a welcoming destination for travellers from all over the world. But for hit men Ray (Colin Farrell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson), it could be their final destination; a difficult job has resulted in the pair being ordered right before Christmas by their London boss Harry (two-time Academy Award nominee Ralph Fiennes) to go and cool their heels in the storybook Flemish city for a couple of weeks. Very much out of place amidst the gothic architecture, canals, and cobbled streets, the two hit men fill their days living the lives of tourists. Ray, still haunted by the bloodshed in London, hates the place, while Ken, even as he keeps a fatherly eye on Rays often profanely funny exploits, finds his mind and soul being expanded by the beauty and serenity of the city. But the longer they stay waiting for Harrys call, the more surreal their experience becomes, as they find themselves in weird encounters with locals, tourists, violent medieval art, a dwarf American actor (Jordan Prentice) shooting a European art film, Dutch prostitutes, and a potential romance for Ray in the form of Chloë (Clémence Poésy), who may have some dark secrets of her own. And when the call from Harry does finally come, Ken and Rays vacation becomes a life-and-death struggle of darkly comic proportions and surprisingly emotional consequences.

@666jimmysmusicgirl 2 things to make it clear xD. The first is that i saw the movie and its great and the second thing is that i know very well my own town xD :o

[666jimmysmusicgirl]

@edderd8 you shoudl see the film though. it shows the glory and beauty of bruges and yet hits right at the inner life of people there and tourists visiting, it isn't americanised and is a VERY good film, a kind that only comes once in every few years in this era. xD

[edderd8]
