 Look at that. Do you see that? I do magic looks like you're whoa Hey, welcome back to our stiffer exit, it's I'm tripping balls and you false Wait, hold on. Where am I? Uh, welcome back to our stupid reaction. It's I'm Corbin I'm Rick and I'm Ashley and false on Instagram and Twitter. I'm all juicy Compton It's so juicy Thank you. We're also some patreon fellas. We should turn it down ring the bell. We hardly want to case squad And today in We're on a your front con marathon So it's true. We told you that's what was gonna happen But we find well, I finally watched they saw it when it came out. I finally watched life of pot with your fun con and directed by Ang Lee So You was obviously this is gonna be a spoiler of you the film came out a long time ago Yeah, and if you haven't seen it just stop go watch come back But yeah, the star and Ang Lee who I'm a huge I was a huge fan of already Because of broke back mountain he if you haven't seen that film what he does With that film and how he how how he works From what I've heard is very he doesn't give a lot of Direction he's one of those. He's one of those directors. He's one of those It's pretty extraordinary just in the comparison of those two films They're both brilliant, but so Extraordinarily different you would think it's actually two different directors. Yeah 100% like this is almost like Avatar light Yeah as far as visuals are concerned in terms of visuals But yes, so yeah, you haven't seen it go watch it. So I liked it I Just just let y'all know I liked it. I do wish Hold on Okay, cool. I froze for a second. I do wish Irfan Khan was in it more I was missing that But I want to talk about his performance right now Because it was so so different From everything else and obviously I'd seen Bits and pieces of his scenes because it's it's a pretty famous especially with Him passing that one scene of him saying never saying goodbye has been going around You know all over the place. So I I'd seen that before And and some other visuals from it, but his character is so different than his normal characters Which is another thing I'm loving The more we're exploring Irfan Khan Because at the beginning we saw him in what is it Piku and obviously we knew him from Hollywood a little bit but we we saw him in Piku and then we saw him in as The ghost and we saw him in a couple of those roles The past couple roles have been very different and this is not a role like the one that we just saw pan sing Where he's obviously playing almost a villain type thing He's playing a pretty straight man, but he almost didn't look like Irfan here Yeah, that's what it felt like to me. It didn't it felt like I Know he was much much younger in this but this felt like old like an old 60s 65 year old Irfan Khan almost Look like that, but he felt like Like almost like an amatuck bok chan character That's what it felt like to me, which is very different than what I'm normally used to from him and I loved it. Obviously he was So good and so flawless And I was cherishing every moment. I saw him on screen But yeah Especially because there's not a lot he's in it and it's like he's a big part of it But he's not seen very much Yeah, since it's one of those ones that obviously he's playing the older character that's telling this story He's basically like the rose from titanic except not 95 years old But yeah, like this can't just be me reviewing this Everybody hears from me. What are your thoughts? I mean you see we saw Multiple times when it when it came out. We loved it. And I think we saw it like three or four times When it first came out. Yeah, so but this was your first time seeing it since we saw in theaters. Yeah Maybe second time. I don't know. Maybe it's been years. It's been years since we've seen like I didn't watch it last week If that's what you're at. That's what I meant. Yeah, I did not watched it today Um, but I love it. I love all the visuals of it. I think it's so pretty. Oh my goodness and I think Just because there's so much time spent on the boat. There's so much that I don't think a lot of movies show about just like the ocean It was almost like you're watching a nature video, you know On national geographic or something where it's like, this is what can happen when you're on the ocean Yeah, the visuals were beautiful. A lot of that stuff was not how animals act in the ocean, but Uh Animals don't just swim at the top of the ocean like that In the can in the in the oh the whales. Yeah But just the regular fish that are just there the mahi mahi. There's birds. Those are prey They don't just sit on the top of the water like that And I know Obviously, I know what he was doing. Obviously. This is a guy telling a story So the the writer himself is visualizing what's happening. And so he's creating a grander picture, obviously Right So I knew that's what was going on. Uh, but yeah, the visuals were So so beautiful, uh with all the, uh, luminescence of the water Yeah, I love that. Oh my gosh I loved how sometimes he made the pacific ocean look like it was a pond I know I was like the pacific ocean is never that calm. Okay, just letting you know Like where in the pacific ocean are you? Uh But yeah, the uh, uh, love the visuals, uh, the the main actor I thought was good. I didn't love him all the time Uh, not my favorite, but he wasn't bad He was he was fine. He did fine, but I was much more looking forward to ear fond Playing that character than I was him. Yeah Yeah, and I like watching the tiger, which was completely not real Well, what story do you think was real? Oh, I mean, obviously the one with the tiger. Yeah, yeah, of course, right Obviously, why would you even think about anything else? Yeah, because that makes so much sense Hey, they owned a zoo Well, the thing that told me it was dumb is right at the beginning when the orangutan was floating in, right? Um, not that the bananas don't float. He didn't take any bananas. Didn't we do that? We did Everybody did everybody did That movie came out took bananas and tried to make them and threw them in pools to see if they would float or not They do Yeah, bananas do float. Yeah, bananas float, but that's not what I'm saying It's no, I know he was in a raft and he knew he didn't have anywhere to go and there was a 20 bundles of bananas and he didn't take any of them Do you have an orangutan? No, him He's it. He was an idiot That's that's the stuff that bothers me, uh But yeah, the uh I thought the the score was really subtle Uh And so I like that a lot. I like angly a lot. I've always Been an admirer of his work because he's so so different Uh in how he he directs movies and his own style. He doesn't really Go with the flow. What's popular in movies? He doesn't do anything to make money. He made a gay cowboy movie I mean come on like how How non-marketable is that to pitch during that time? It it wasn't a marketable movie and then Yeah, we got this great idea And then he took two actors who weren't really in there. Nobody thought that they could do Oscar level performances at that time Uh in jake jillen hall and and he pledger and just trusted him and but he he also I don't know if you saw any behind the scenes of broke back mountain. He all he was All the notes he ever gave was just he told Heath Ledger just Smaller And that's the only note he ever gave he didn't he he was never like like he was like cut He didn't come over to give notes and then he just asked if you were ready again And then only ever he would come over and say smaller And so I'm assuming that's the exact time. That's probably why he loved earphone I mean, yeah, no one's as small as One tear Yeah, he he did so brilliant in that in that one scene. Um, that the one where he was saying To say goodbye But I I I don't think I like the white guy and I know this is a Hollywood film and I didn't even like the white guy in it Um, where have I seen that guy before? I don't know. I think in like tv. I don't know I'm sure that it was something like that He wasn't as bad as some of the white people in bollywood, but I didn't I wasn't blown. I wasn't I wasn't blown away by anybody's performance except for earphone in this Um, and I guess it's not that type of film. You're more going for the visuals. I guess And the visuals and the story and the cool story And so obviously there wasn't really any except for earphones older character. There wasn't room for anybody to shine I guess um But I I did really enjoy the film. Um, I thought it was Really really pretty and He he definitely he definitely murdered some people which was cool No, what are you talking about? You prefer you prefer the story without the tiger Oh, he 100% murdered him. I was I was trying to do the whole time. I was like, so what's the real story here? This is not believable That's not given how old was I when this came out So I was like, this is imagination. Oh, yeah I'm sorry if you believe you can live on a boat with a tiger. You're an idiot That's I am a full-blown full-fledged idiot. I've been telling you that for years No, I think it could happen. I could train a tiger. No, sure No, but the thing that made sense was the hyena That made sense Hyena killing everybody Because he's a hyena but then the tiger he did I don't know what I think I because I was trying to figure out ang Lee's message in in about religion and and worldview and all that and I think it was mostly summed up in the end by earphone He said same as with god in terms of the fake story with the tiger He said that's the one that I like to believe more and so Both I think so I was trying to figure out what exactly he was saying because he's a hindu christian Muslim buddhist Jew And so he was obviously saying something about all the religions And and and god as a whole and so But obviously he wasn't being preachy about it and he wasn't saying exactly what he believed He left it open to the audience for their interpretation of what You think This means About religion god and and and all that. Um, and so I thought that was a really beautiful thing he did with the film I agree. Yeah, how did you feel? How did you feel looking at it in in? light of the experience we've had over the past better part of a year now and seeing representation of indian culture and taboo and A couple of people whose faces we recognize because now we've seen them in in motion pictures there and Even something like she's talking at the dinner table and she said well, he has his beliefs and you have your cricket Was it just like kind of yeah, I'm used to seeing this now or was it interesting to you that this was all that this Had that much in it? It was Nice, uh, yeah that it was kind of almost normal Um, obviously i'm seeing it very different So it did sometimes feel like an indian film But it also sometimes felt like a hollywood film in the terms of but it also could have been the visuals He was going for everything was um Like when he was in india it it looked like india, but it didn't feel like india Uh, when like when they were out on the streets At certain points, uh, but I think that was once again the storytelling thing of I think it was the rider's head Yeah, I did I did too. I also felt like it may have been intentional. It was almost like, um Not that he meant to do this himself, but it for me in many respects as far as the representation It's the anti slum dog. Yeah, um it it it depicts It depicts india and indians in ways that they're typically not Portrayed here in america all the stereotypes or there's there are no stereotypes In this in fact when it is brought up it's derived to produce character the cook Calling them curry eaters which understandably causes the dad to flip out and want to kick his ass. Yeah, um I I just in retrospect looking back at it. I've been amazed when when the movie came out it it deeply touched me I adored this movie when it came out And as there's just been this through line throughout my life that I look back on like oh wow, I didn't there's india There's india. Hey, I forgot There's india Yeah, and and um as far as as far as air fun You know, we have been playing that clip a lot and everyone's been playing that clip about the goodbyes There was something even more profound for me Uh in that same speech, but it's at the very end where He gets to that place where he says to him which of the two stories do you prefer And he says I prefer the one with the tiger and then he says Kai says his wife has arrived and he says your wife. He says, yes, I have a wife and I have two children Don't get caught on a car And the reporter smiles and says to him. So your story does have a happy ending and Irfan says this That's up to you. It's yours now And I thought how fitting is that in terms of what we've been saying in the past couple days about His legacy and our remembering of him and how we've been choosing to celebrate And and focus on the joy. He's brought us and he's left behind for the world to see versus The the the sadness that we understandably feel and it was almost as if he was saying um You know the reporter saying so your Irfan your story This was a very sad and we've only been thinking about it in terms of how sad it is that you're gone but Is can we somehow see your story as having a happy ending and He looks at you and says yeah, that's up to you. My story is yours now. I'm not here to tell my story anymore guys My story has to be told by you anybody who hears about me from now on. It's up to you To preach the gospel of Irfan I Yeah, I would like to go to that island though Same I googled it. It's not real. It. Yeah. No, it's not. Yeah. No A man eating island Well, it is it is real on a certain level of metaphysics. Oh, well, yes, but if we're gonna get metaphysical This is gonna be a much longer But I actually thought it was could be like Plants going on the trash island basically that's what I thought Are they gonna are they gonna get like uh, clean up the clean up the planet with this? Um, because Then I agree with you you said you you jokingly said, you know avatar light and I I actually I prefer in the same way that I prefer small makeup effects I prefer smaller visual effects not to say that This was that small because there were some massive visual effects in this but like comparing it to avatar Um avatar is nothing but a visual effect spectacle every frame of film pretty much and what um I I just marvel at Not just the beauty The beauty of it But how how that tiger is not real that that tiger is a cgi creation and it's just a flawless CGI creation as is everything else visually in in the film and it reminded me as well as you know, we're watching it on the screen I'm really happy we can watch movies on tv's and stuff that's made straight for streaming But the two aspects of a movie experience in a theater that are irreplaceable Are the common experience of everyone together sharing that experience The laughter the crying and you're doing it as a collective humanity But like a film like this the immersion you cannot You don't get immersed in life of pie It would this film was made for the big screen for you to get utterly lost in these visuals It it does lose its majesty when it's lowered to a small screen Unless you have a home theater. Yeah, unless you had a massive home theater One day one day one day Yeah, but yeah, your fun was beautiful. Let me as usual. Yeah It was yeah, it was a fantastic performance and a very like I said It felt it didn't almost feel like your fun In terms of it didn't look like him Uh, especially for knowing how young he was during this Uh, he didn't he didn't feel like him. Uh, he looks so so different than uh, what His other roles which is a testament to I guess him and the makeup Because I think they did something with his face Or maybe it was just his hair and he didn't have a beard and that that's that was enough Yeah, and he looked and he looked and he looked younger and in all honesty for the past couple years when we have seen him in some things Um, it's been post not not feeling well. Yeah so, um But yeah, it was it was it was um Bittersweet to watch him in that today. Yeah, I was uh, it was cherishing every moment. Uh, Watching it. Um, but yeah, so I finally watched it. You're welcome guys Yay for Corbin. It's only How long's it been out? Uh, I think I'm gonna guess that life of pie came out sometime in 2014 That's my guess 2014 Oh, I was close Pond sing uh, uh, was that same? Yeah Yep, I wonder how many films he That was a freaking great year. There's a lot of great movies that came out in 2012. Yeah, dang. Anyway Well, let us know what other earphone cons we should watch next Uh, because we will watch them all namesake namesake I don't I haven't checked to see if it's available anywhere.
