#than bway’s script is. like that’s objective i feel like. and yet! and fucking yet.

actually i can make a whole post on this.

92sies is the better storyline and literally only because jack is less personable, the whole movie gets “tanked” (literally speaking this movie flopped). this jack isn’t in the moment at all and i guess that’s the “dreamer” aspect but also no it’s just lazy acting

like even his backstory is more compelling in 92sies, it’s detailed, it’s filled with lies and tragedy and it makes jack INTERESTING but for some reason like. christian bale was not compelling! like jack’s real name is something totally different (fuck francis sullivan we hate francis sullivan if you don’t look at it it can’t hurt you) and his dads in jail and his mom’s dead and i’m more worried about what davey’s thinking than jack’s reaction. how is that possible bro.

maybe it’s because theater is genuinely amazing as an artistic concept but bway jack no matter which actor is so much more reactive and visual and physicalized. than 92sies jack. like if that jack was in 92sies’s plot? oh my god. i’d be weeping bro i’d be angry and sad and shocked etc the whole movie right along with him tbh…

like 92sies jack is more interesting than bway jack but bway jack is much more characterized than 92sies jack.
