deja vu sounds right
This film rules dude.
Beyond its surface narrative, “Angel Heart” can be interpreted as an allegory for the spiritual journey of an individual, revealing yet another layer of meaning. In this context, Harry Angel’s initial state represents a person unaware of their spiritual nature. The search for Johnny Favorite symbolizes the process of delving into one’s own soul. As Harry’s investigation deepens, it mirrors how turning one’s attention inward can uncover hidden, often unsavory aspects of one’s psyche.
This interpretation presents the film as a cautionary tale for spiritual seekers. It suggests that confronting one’s inner demons requires substantial mental fortitude and willpower. Without these qualities, one risks being overwhelmed by uncovered vices and passions, much like Harry is ultimately consumed by his own dark nature.
The film’s narrative echoes the experiences of hermits and ascetics who retreated to mountains and deserts for spiritual practices. While some found enlightenment, others were driven to madness, illustrating that not everyone can successfully navigate this challenging path.
“Angel Heart” thus warns that embarking on a journey of self-discovery should not be taken lightly. It implies that one should only open this metaphorical Pandora’s box when sufficiently prepared to face the challenges that arise and committed to changing oneself. Otherwise, this path may prove insurmountable and potentially destructive.
This additional layer of meaning elevates “Angel Heart” from a supernatural thriller to a profound exploration of the human psyche and the perils and necessities of spiritual growth, reminding us that true self-knowledge comes at a price and requires strength of character to confront and overcome the darker aspects of our nature.
Not all secrets need to be revealed.
Is the site/logins/accounts/user profiles bugged at the moment?
Video review with a contrarian (positive) recommendation. Argent claims that the movie isn’t woke, and the arguments show that it isn’t *explicitly*. Argents threshold for wokeness seems pretty tolerant of it, but his points stand.
Lots of spoilers in the review, Argent goes through pretty much the entire plot.
On the movie details pages, it would be cool if you showed the top billing cast under ‘Writers’ instead of having it hidden in a tab underneath
Pretty solid movie mired by Plaza’s reddit schtick but saved by Hugh
This movie is paced terribly and Fraser’s performance is board-stiff; Silverstone is grating and b**chy. Yet somehow, once it gets going, the story resonates deeply with the modern-fatigued viewer. It’s pretty telling that Christopher Walken first ventures out into the ‘post-apocalyptic’ world and encounters an aggressive tranny prostitute. Back then I guess that would have been considered hilariously absurd. Back then it would have.
Curt is a much better actor than one would think, based on his very limited resume. And Curt is a really good singer and mimic of famous pop, hip-hop, rock and jazz singers.
F**kin’ lol. Damn dude. I knew it was goy slop shlocky romcom B movie, but not Dogsh*t Popcorn!
I figured I’d get some pushback on this review. I think the last time that happened was with “Talk To Me” (2022) because I said I didn’t mind the gaggle of negresses and changs in the cast. But for this, you can tell it’s a cheesy 90’s movie from the poster and release date. And the trailer. Didn’t think I needed to give a heads up about that.
I love 80’s and 90’s movies because they are unapologetically upbeat. I enjoy dark and gritty realistic movies but now everything is too self aware and makes meta jokes that break the fourth wall or try to one up each other with realism. I’m tired of every actor being ugly and frumpy. I want to watch gorgeous people LARP as normal.
Also, c’mon man! Loving animals is the Whitest thing you can do. Would love to read your review of “The Cove” (2009).
Anyways, hilarious excoriating review. Sorry to have led you astray.
Totally agree. It can’t get out of its own way and the dialogue made my skin crawl. I peaced out at the part where it seemed as if we’d finally leave Blunt behind and have a kino driving scene and she pops back into frame like a bad rash with more pointless blathering.
lol

The fedora tipping should be 1 instead of 5. Affirmative Action Should be 0. It slipped while I was using a phone. Sorry lads.
It’s all good, part of the fun is sh*tting on it afterwards. I mean compared to ‘Elizabethtown’, Dog Park was f**king oscar material.
This whole movie is just vertigo porn. The trick works for the first forty minutes but they totally overuse it to the point where it’s just annoying.
