I have recently watched the last movie of Polanski, Carnage. It is not like the movies I got used to. It was difficult to follow for me because of continually dialoges. It is more like a play with four talented actors. They are all performing their best acting performances along 80 minutes. We are watching the change of all character's attitudes from start to finish. They alter each minute of the movie. They start to disclose their secret expectations from life and expose real ideas about each other.
Two couple of parents get together at one of them's house because of a fight their children got involved. At the first scene, they seem like they figured out the issue with ease because they are very civilized! families. However, guests can not leave the house because of the new questions come up last minute. Whenever they try to leave, a new issue arises and they stay for a coffee. The coffee turns into liquor and the problem between childrens turns into other problems of couples and characters.
Penelope Longstreet,Jodie Foster, is a self assertive, questioning, dominant wife. Micheal Longstreet, John C. Reilly, who tries to control the discussion. Nancy Cowan, Kate Winslet, is emotional woman who tries to act reasonable. Alan Cowan, Christoph Waltz, who cares his work more than anything.
I think the top point of the movie is the throwing up scene of Kate
Winslet (Nancy Cowan). It is also the turning point, since such an
extraordinary thing happens, there is no need to behave in good manners
any longer. They start to expose their real ideas about eachothers and
also themselves and it turns into chaos. First the sides are the families, then each of them stands in front of the jury one by one. A while later women and men become the counter-sides. In the end, sides are the families again.
My final remark about the movie, it must definetely be seen because of the actor's excellent performance.
