What is it about the air in Europe what makes Misha Collins act like that edition. Yes those are quotes of his.

#I want to believeeeeeee #did Misha actually say this at the con?

Another thing about Monkey Man that's not really important to the story itself but is simply a testament to Dev Patel as a director is the fact that the entire movie was shot on a budget of $10mil, which sounds like a lot but is a pittance in hollywood for the sort of film he was trying to make.

It's frankly a wonder the film got made considering the fact that netflix dropped it in fear of repercussions from Modi's government but ten years ago John Wick came out as a film with half the artistic ambition and allegedly three times the budget. Monkey Man was so strapped for cash that they had to shoot some scenes of GoPros and iPhones but you wouldn't be able to tell just looking at it.

Something I appreciate about Monkey Man is how doesn't try to frame revenge as just a pointlessly violent, self-destructive pursuit the way many films do. I think it's because Dev Patel was unafraid of adding a political element to the story. The kid wants to avenge his mother, but he also doesn't want what happened to them to keep happening to others. The presence of the hijras really drives this idea home. They fight with him not only because he's their friend, but because Baba and the nationalist party will bring violence literally to their door even if they don't fight back. I often roll my eyes at anti-revenge narratives. I think Dev Patel gets what it's like to be a victim of systematic violence in a way most filmmakers seem not to. Revenge isn't just a selfish pursuit that perpetuates the ~cycle of violence~, it can also be a desperate desire for the violence to end.

in monkey man when dev patel makes the final confrontation he asks "do you know my mother's name? do you know any of their names?" and that's when it hit me...his character has no name and we've gone the entire movie without him ever identifying himself that way. when you give up a part of yourself for a righteous cause, losing his name so he can fully embody hanuman...yeah this movie is so good
