David Kaplan: Bathroom
Tale
Misfit cousins reunite for a road trip across Poland to honor their beloved grandmother. The adventure takes a turn when the odd couple’s old tensions are resurfaced amid their family history. When Benji and David visit their grandmother in Poland, the place is where Jesse Eisenberg;s real-life ancestors settled in the diaspora.. Benji Kaplan: We’re staying mobile, we’re staying light, we’re staying agile.David Kaplan: Yeah. Benji Kaplan: The conductor comes through, takes our tickets, we tell him we’re going to the bathroom. Benji Kaplan: He comes to the back of the train, he starts heading towards the front looking for David Kaplan: Excuse me, are we wanderers? Benji Kaplan: Yeah.
This is our country
By the time he gets to the front, the train is in the station and we’re free to go home. David Kaplan: This is so fucking stupid. The tickets are probably like twelve bucks. Benji Kaplan: That’s the principle of it. We shouldn’t have to pay for train tickets in Poland. David Kaplan: No, it’s not, it was our country. They kicked us out because they thought we were cheap.
I really liked “A Real Pain”
Featured on CBS News Sunday Morning episode #46.44 (2024). 12 Etudes, Op. 25, No. 3 in F major Written by Frederic Chopin Performed by Tzvi Erez. It’s about two cousins, played by Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin, who travel to Poland and go on a tour that includes a visit to an old concentration camp. So the movie obviously gets dark, but it’s also funny and heartwarming. The cousins hang out and smoke weed together.
I thought the movie was realistic
Sometimes their relationship isn’t pleasant, but I can tell they love each other. Eisenberg also wrote and directed the movie, and he did an amazing job. The story, acting, cinematography, editing, and so on are all great. There are a lot of great shots. The concentration camp scene is touching and respectful. I felt sad at times during the movie. I think I really care about the cousin.
I just love this movie
No scene went on too long. "True Pain" is definitely one of my favorite movies of the year. I definitely recommend watching it. Alien: From Romulus to Road House, check out some of our favorite posters for 2024.
