I realize why Schrader went for something like that as it play into that glimmer of hope in a world of hopelessness.<br /><br />@Chris-Sadly, Hawke didn't receive the nomination (fucking bullshit!) but I'm glad Schrader did get an Oscar nod for his screenplay. I would love to see the film again and with subtitles because I love what he wrote. Plus, I was wowed at what he was doing as a director. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-53568586991062338342019-01-22T01:16:35.398-08:002019-01-22T01:16:35.398-08:00I hope Ethan Hawke gets an oscar nom.

I might have liked First Reformed better if I viewed it with subtitles as a lot of it's power is in Schrader's writing.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-74128655238445943322019-01-19T04:49:31.489-08:002019-01-19T04:49:31.489-08:00Glad you got to see this!

It was going strong for me until that weird dream sequence and then I wasn't crazy about the ending, but it's a very solid film and Hawke is tremendous in it.
