Marty Supreme

Now i know why this movie had timothee acting up so bad. goated and now i wanna write a think piece about the ending the cinematography, the music, the acting… yeah this was a good fucking meal !!!!!!! edit ramble: i loveeee the ending of this movie. everybody wants to rule the world playing just as marty sees his kid for the first time while he sobs ?? delicious. yummy, if i may. while i think it can be interpreted that yes, maybe he did truly change and is crying out of joy at the birth of his child, i do not think that is the case AT ALL. marty is a selfish, self absorbed narcissistic BUM who is shown time and time again that he is willing to do whatever, whenever to get where and what he wants. the people he claims to love are no exception. he is shown time and time again refusing to entertain the concept of the baby being his, he does not want that baby. to me, the ending was a slap in the face to marty. he won against endo, so what? that is it. he won’t be in the tournament, he just needed to satisfy his own ego, prove that he was better than endo. he is a father now, crying over the grief of watching his dreams crumble in front of him. he is forced to face his life, a jobless bum with no real talent outside of table tennis (and manipulation), which is proven to not make him any money whatsoever, now left to care to care for a woman and a baby. all that being said, i think that marty can also be seen as slightly inspirational in a way, he got what he wanted. he never let anything slow him down and despite everything, he got to tokyo. obviously he’s not a good person, but it’s not just black and white. (worried when the dudebros get to this movie and stamp marty as some badass boss like they did with patrick bateman.) it’s hard to not almost admire marty and envy his ability to get from point a to point b, even at the expense of others. but yah. having everybody wants to rule the world play while baby’s are heard screaming in the background is fucking MAWH. love love love. this is just a chopped ramble but i do truly think there is a lot to be said about this movie, genuinely incredible
