The Brutalist 2024
This film really hit home. Like László, I came to this country in search of opportunities and the so-called American Dream, only to realize of how this concept is a twisted trap, especially for hopeful (or desperate) immigrants.
I’m glad there’s a film that shines a spotlight of the hidden but colossal struggles foreigners hace to experience in the US. The American Dream needs this kind of dismantling.
Absolutely gorgeous cinematography. Loved the loud bass of the soundtrack, really felt like the musical equivalent of Brutalist architecture.
Felt weird about the Zionism mentioned, but the rest was good 👍🏻
9/10
