I can't decide if I like this movie or not

it's a bit gimmicky but he realizes he misunderstood who was planning on killing who, the young couple from the park were in no danger in fact they are the ones who were planning to committed murder (He would kill us if he got the chance vs He would kill US if he got the chance)... or are you talking about the phone call and him tearing up his apartment?

can't be, he's not an autist in that one

I (vaguely) remember it being boring as fuck.

He's literally me
Except I'm not good at anything
And I'm not a sugar daddy
And not religious
But otherwise, he's literally me

His employment situation is so shadowy and expounded in bare bones onscreen terms that it's slightly generic. It's an atmospheric movie but that comes from the character study of Hackman's character, not the other people around him or the people he works with.

Like I said, it's a good film but it uses vagueness to its advantage a lot.

its fucking self indulgent shit, i hated it so much. It was also slow and boring. Blow Out is MUCH better

Blow Out > Blow Up > The Conversation

Same dude. Seen it twice, still not quite sure. Same as pic related.

Is it ever made explicit what the couple's plan is? I can't remember it being expounded on beyond some sort of unexplained secret and intent to get one over on someone they both know. I've only watched it once but my recollection is that it was deliberately left ambiguous.

says it was slow and boring

ranks it below blow up which is one of the most tedoius movies ever

it's top tier, grade A kino
