Well, howdy there! Let’s gab a bit about them movies, ya know, the ones kinda like that “Nocturnal Animals” flick. That one was a real head-scratcher, let me tell ya.
So, you’re lookin’ for movies that give ya that same kinda… feeling, huh? Not necessarily all shoot-’em-ups and car chases, but somethin’ that sticks with ya, somethin’ that makes ya think. “Nocturnal Animals,” that was a real… whatchamacallit… a psychological thriller. Fancy words for a movie that gets under yer skin.
Now, I ain’t no fancy movie critic, mind you. I just watch ’em and tell ya what I think. But some folks, they like movies that make ’em feel things, even if it ain’t always happy-go-lucky. “Nocturnal Animals,” that one had a lot of… well, love and grief, and even some revenge thrown in for good measure. It was about this woman, see, and she gets this book from her ex-husband. And the book, well, it’s a real doozy.
If you liked that twisty-turny kinda story, you might wanna try somethin’ like “Inception.” Heard folks talkin’ ’bout it. Somethin’ about dreams inside of dreams. Sounds like a whole lotta confusion to me, but some folks like that kinda thing. Said it makes ya question what’s real and what ain’t, kinda like “Nocturnal Animals” did with that story inside a story.
Now, “Nocturnal Animals,” it ain’t just about the thrills and chills. It’s about relationships too, messy ones at that. That woman, she made some choices, and them choices had consequences. The movie, it shows ya that. It ain’t always pretty, but that’s life, ain’t it? Sometimes you hurt folks, and sometimes folks hurt you.
- Movies like Nocturnal Animals are often about more than just the plot. They dig deep into what makes people tick.
- Look for movies with complex characters. The ones in “Nocturnal Animals” weren’t just good or bad, they were… complicated.
- Don’t be afraid of a movie that makes you uncomfortable. Sometimes the best movies are the ones that challenge you.
Some folks say that director fella, Dennis Villeneuve, he makes movies like that. Movies that make ya think. He directed “Nocturnal Animals,” see? So maybe lookin’ at other movies he made wouldn’t be a bad idea. I ain’t seen ’em all myself, but I heard they’re… intense.
And speakin’ of intense, that book inside the movie, the one the ex-husband wrote? That was somethin’ else. All about revenge and losin’ folks ya love. If you liked that part, maybe look for movies with similar themes. You know, movies about folks gettin’ even or dealin’ with loss. There’s plenty of ’em out there, you just gotta know where to look. And some folks say it’s even on Netflix now, that “Nocturnal Animals” movie. Imagine that, watchin’ it right from yer couch!
Now, I can’t tell ya exactly which movies are gonna hit ya the same way “Nocturnal Animals” did. Everyone’s different, ya know? But if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ that’s thought-provoking, somethin’ that’ll stay with ya long after the credits roll, then you gotta look for movies with heart, even if that heart is a little… broken.
And that ending of “Nocturnal Animals,” well, it left a lot of folks wonderin’. Did he show up or didn’t he? Was that story real or just in his head? That’s the kinda thing that makes a movie stick with ya, makes ya wanna talk about it with yer friends and neighbors. So, if you find a movie that leaves ya with questions, that’s probably a good sign.
So, there ya have it. My two cents on movies like “Nocturnal Animals.” Ain’t no guarantees, mind you, but if you keep an eye out for those psychological thrillers, the ones with complex characters and emotional stories, you might just find somethin’ that hits the spot. And heck, even if ya don’t, at least you got to spend a couple hours sittin’ down and watchin’ a picture show, right? That ain’t so bad.
