The Town (Blu-ray SteelBook)

My rating is more of a 4.5Thanks for reading!𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝒃𝒍𝒖𝒆-𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒓 𝑩𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏 𝒏𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒃𝒐𝒓𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒃𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒓𝒐𝒃𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒅-𝒄𝒂𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅: 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒘𝒏The Town is a 2010 American crime thriller film co-written, directed by, and starring Ben Affleck Rebecca Hall, Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner, and Blake Lively.. Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck) leads a band of ruthless bank robbers and has no real attachments except for James ( Renner), who -- despite his dangerous temper -- is like a brother. Everything changes for Doug when James briefly takes a hostage, bank employee Claire Keesey. Learning that she lives in the gang's neighborhood, Doug seeks her out to discover what she knows, and he falls in love. As the romance deepens, he wants out of his criminal life, but that could threaten ClaireBefore any words are spoken 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒐𝒘𝒏 tells us what it's all about in making a bold claim about a small section of Boston that establishes it is a make-shift criminological warehouse. This statistic is, of course, more hyperbole than it is fact, though predicated in a claim made by 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏 𝑮𝒍𝒐𝒃𝒆 in 1995:“𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒃𝒐𝒓𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒅 (𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒘𝒏) 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒄𝒂𝒓 𝒓𝒐𝒃𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒚, 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝑭𝑩𝑰 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒔”Having read this as someone native to Boston, Chuck Hogan eventually published a novel entitled 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒔 in 1995, which as source material laid the foundation for 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒐𝒘𝒏 to unfold as a trauma that understands and punctuates the intense nature of camaraderie whether it be rooted in illegal activity or general misconduct; in spite of being misguided or an inaccurate, this opening statement pulls its own weight in contextualizing every interaction and chime of discourse that Doug is pulled into, not to mention a more in-depth picture that gets painted with specificities and proves nastier overall.Bearing in mind the nature of Claire and Doug’s relationship, 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒔 is a more contentious affair; the romantic potential between these two characters is a foil to the extent to which those wanting to apprehend Doug (Chiefly, F.B.I. Agent Adam Frawley) also come to be in Claire's good (but also wildly indecisive) graces. Screenwriter(s) Peter Craig, Aaron Stockard, and Affleck still manage to accent what good such conflict can present in the longer run but avoids indulging as a digressive subplot: it decides instead, to introduce snarky and kinetic energy between Doug and Adam with a directfulness that exploits whatever headspace they have to offer.Dynamic when need be, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒐𝒘𝒏’s pacing allows further for the development of characters that would otherwise be one-dimensional: what would otherwise be a convoluted game of cops-and-robbers gets to heart of conditioned behaviors irrespective of how socially acceptable they are deemed to be in a matter-of-factly and, more importantly, authenticious way. It further goes without saying that palpable leverage is gained through performances that go above and beyond as extensions of empathy towards the real-life people being potentially represented: Renner’s in particular presenting a fraught balance of betrayal, heartbreak, and aggression that might otherwise get lost in a swarm of inappropriate theatricalism.What distinguishes 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒐𝒘𝒏 most from its source material is in the optimism that can be found in its theatrical conclusion.The Doug we get to know in writing is inundated with resignation, ultimately pressured to carry out his crew’s most ambitious caper with dire consequences: whether this is avote of confidence for karma or justice is largely up to interpretation. What Affleck and company bring to the equation is separation from systemic and familial barriers: though a bit unbelievable, done with the empowering suggestion that individuals from hardened backgrounds have greater control over their lives than they might expect or believe, and that they are capable of change (and the sacrifices they requires) when given the opportunity.(Sidenote, there is a version of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒐𝒘𝒏 that has an alternate conclusion more in line with Hogan’s; the #TLDR is that Doug is killed by a pair of individuals whom are seeking revenge for an interaction happens earlier on in the film, further reinforcing the message that people can only get so far away from the consequences of their own actions)Though in a position to be haughty and smug, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒐𝒘𝒏 paints a scene that ultimately feels quite familiar: an area its inhabitants love to hate but can't quite abandon without justification for doing so. All that get endorsed when it comes to absolvement without due exoneration aside, there's a case to be made for starting over in the truest sense: moreover, with special consideration for elements that confine people to communities that pose various risks in the long-term. What Affleck wishes to encapsulate as “freedom” most is still up for debate, but maybe being held hostage in that sense just comes with the territory.

Really good movie. Very tense, very high stakes. Definitely recommend.

Film de Ben Affleck, avec Blake Lively (Gossip Girl, Adaline), Rebecca Hall (Vicky Cristina Barcelona) et Jeremy Renner (S.W.A.T. unité d'élite, Mission impossible : Protocole Fantôme, Avengers, Jason Bourne : L'Héritage).Le scénario malin - et ma mise en scène nerveuse et réaliste - traite d'une jeunesse désœuvrée qui bascule plus tard dans le braquage qui peut conduire au crime dans le Brooklyn de 2010. Vient se greffer une romance qui ajoute du piment dans la vie de l'un des braqueurs mais le rend vulnérable face à la détermination d'un agent du FBI de prendre en flag ces voleurs violents.Le disque Blu-ray est en édition simple mais est de très bonne facture. La vidéo n'a pas besoin d'être upsclalée (comme avec un DVD) car la résolution native est réellement au format Full HD en balayage progressif (1080p) supérieure à la résolution d'une transmission TV-HD au format 1080i (en balyage entrelacé). Et le son du film ainsi que la bande son anglais américain est en DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 et en français c'est du Dolby Digital 5.1.

Il film è bello e molto appassionante, ottimo cast, Ben Afflek secondo me recita molto bene pur non avendo troppe espressioni, va benissimo cosi'se vi piace il genere ve lo consiglio vivamente.Il video è ottimo, molto nitido e definito, anche nelle scene piu' scure.Purtroppo non posso dire la stessa cosa dell' audio, con il mio impianto il Dolby Digital è davvero scarso, sparatorie esplosioni ecc. son poca cosa, il Subwoofer non pompa come dovrebbe, avrei gradito l' audio in HD !!!un' altra cosa che non mi è piaciuta è il fatto che la extended cut è solo in inglese !!e cosa ce ne facciamo ?? dura pure 29 minuti !!ma non ho certo voglia di riguardarmi tutto il film in inglese per vedere quei 29 minuti mancanti.Brutta la confezione con i buchi del logo del riciclo !!una cosa che mi da sui nervi, risparmiano pure sulla plastica della custodia !!Film : 9Video : 9Audio : 6,5

Excellent film

2011年公開の映画になりますが、私は良い映画と思います。プライムで無料で観れなくなってたのでBDを購入。エクステンデッド版のみかと思っていたら劇場版も選択できたので良かったです。
