Knights of the ZodiacThe Holdovers is what they call an “instant classic.” It’s what people are talking about when they say “they don’t make ‘em like they used to.” It’s one of those snapshot of life, full range of emotion type of movies that keeps you hooked from beginning to end because the story flows as naturally as a stream as opposed to the artificial canal of formulaic story structure. It’s nostalgic without being forceful. It’s hilarious in a subtle, very down-to-earth way. And it’s never more melancholic or dramatic than it needs to be.It’s everything that Wes Anderson movies used to be, before he left reality for his quirkily filmed stage-plays. Instead, this movie reads like a classic American novel, with a limited cast and setting and by the end you fully understand (and therefore love) each character because they ARE real people trapped in the tragic shortcomings of real life where the losers lose while watching the winners win and making the best of it regardless.Therefore it’s not triumphant. It’s not even particularly heartfelt or inspiring. Hardly anything changes from beginning to end, other than a greater understanding and connection between a small group of disparate people. And to that end, it is beautiful.Support the show by using these affiliate links:GET A BUG-A-SALT HERE: https://amzn.to/3Cya379GET ALL THE BOND MOVIES HERE: https://amzn.to/2Vo1JWPIf you enjoy our work,here's our crypto tip jar:BTC: bc1qz6s04aw2qdkl946uttpqgtqv06utfd287vmu90Dogecoin: DKzAwyN3neSeWfSwTBPcDp1NJafypqWooeOur individual channels:Charles: https://www.youtube.com/@Flavorful_Chunt https://www.youtube.com/@FilmHackerMcCurdy: https://www.youtube.com/@ryanmccurdy9423
