somber. Oh, how could I have forgotten that word - that word describes the subtext of many Hollywood movies that I have despised. Somber. Bleh. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 19:09 13
- it's not somber in the least. there is one sequence in the second act that deals with an unexpected death but otherwise it's three brothers - dug Jun 27, 19:17 12
  - You're such a strange person. -- nm - David Jun 27, 19:20 9
    - ask anyone else here who's seen it if they thought it was "somber" -- nm - dug Jun 27, 19:22 8

      - The second half has a certain melancholy tone to it. - Callisto Jun 27, 19:28
      - We talked about it at the time. "I couldn't save mine" was one of the most depressing cinema moments of that year. - David Jun 27, 19:25 1
        
        i didn't forget that part. but even a key 10 serious minutes doesn't negate the other 80 vibrant, funny, and affirmative minutes -- nm - dug Jun 27, 19:27
      - well, I'm sure it's not somber in the sense that TWBB or NCFOM were -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 19:23 2
        
        is there another kind of somber? a non-somber somber?? -- nm - dug Jun 27, 19:24 1
        
        a non-haunting somber, yes -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 19:25
  - oh, tannenbaum style? ... hrm. That might be alright. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 19:19 1
    - No, not RT style. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 27, 19:35
