Okay so i watched American made today
For starters i love when at the begining they some fun shit with the logos of the studios, like here the Universal logo was going and then BAM they changed it to like an older one i think cause the story is taking place in the eighties and just MAN i LOVE THAT
So we start with our boy Barry flying a normal plane and hes bored so he does a little scare and makes some turbulence
And then this guy Shafel i think comes up to him and is like AYYYY i see ur bored n shit, dont you want to fly something.. different.. and also take pictures of commies and Barry is like HELL YEA
So hes flying and taking pictures and then one time he runs out of gas and these dudes are like ey come with us well give u gas and hes like alright.. and they take him to this big house and theyre like actually we want you to deliver drugs and hes like hahah whaitwha- and theyre like were gonna give u a lot of moneyy and hes like aight
And then they take him to this short ass runway and theyre fucking betting on whether he makes it or not AND HE MAKES IT OH BOY
And he delivers the drugs and then goes to the guys for another round BUT THEN THE POLICE RAID THE PLACE AND HE ENDS UP IN JAIL and then the Shafel guy comes for him and is like i will bail you out IF you start working for the CIA, and also the police is gonna raid your house so u might want to run away- and Barry is like WHAT and the guy is like dont worry i got a place for you :))
So Barry gets home and then just packs everyone up into the car and they JUST make it and of course Lucy is NOT happy about the moving and then they arrive in the town and at the house and it looks kinda rough theres like nothing inside
And then the Shafel guy shows up again to pick Barry up and tell him what his jobs gonna be and hes gonna be delivering guns to this one country i can't remember right now but a revolution happened there and America wants to undo it, and also Barry now owns a big ass land and also a whole ass hangar
And he flyes there and is dropping off the guns and then the CIA is like okay so now youre gonna bring those guys over for training and Barry is like ??? but okay i'll do it
And at the same time the cartel guys contact him again and want him to deliver drugs again and hes like alright
And then hes like flying back and forth and hes like really good at the drug stuff and makes A LOT of money in fact he makes so much he doesnt even know where to put it
And then Lucys brother JB visits and hes not the sharpest pen in the case and is like heyyy can i stay here and Barry is NOT happy about that but agrees bcuz its Lucys brother
And then some time later JB grabs A WHOLE FUCKING SUITCASE with money to go to the local fast food and the town sheriff is there and JB runs and gets arrested and they have to bail him out of there
And then Barry has enough of him so he packs him some money and drives him off to JBs car and tells him to go and JB is NOT happy about that but he gets in his car AND THEN HIS MOTOR FUCKING EXPLODES AND HE CRASHES BAD AND HES DEAD
And then the FBI gets involved coz they get a tell that theres a guy in this small town making A LOT of money so they start to investigate and they also ask the Shafel guy and hes like whos Barry and then tells Barry that theyre coming and to get out of there and Barry tries but is caught in his hangar and all of these organizations just keep coming in and theyre all like what the HELL are YOU doing here and the whole thing is quite funny
And then Barry goes to this attorney, and i really like her accent, and hes just like imma walk out of here and then she gets a call and then is like alright youre free and all the guys are like ??????
And then outside the court these guys are waiting for Barry and they take him to THE WHITE HOUSE AND they want him to take photos of the cartel receiving drugs bcus they want to point at the communists in Colombia i think, the one with the revolution, and say SEE THEYRE BAD THEYRE DOING DRUGS
And so Barry and this other guy go over there and take the pictures BUT THEYRE ALSO ON THE PICTURES AND THEN THEY ARE AIRED ON TV WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING ABOUT IT
So now obviously they have to arrest Barry and the guy and Barry makes sure that Lucy and the kids have enough money to be on their own and he expects to go to jail but they just give him communal service hours. at the same place. every time.
So obviously Barry is terrified bcuz the cartel guys have to know who snitched and he saw what happened to JB so he starts to record tapes where he tells his story and everytime he moves motels hes expecting and explosion when turning on his car but it never comes
But then one night as hes pulling up to the service place a guy with a bat comes to the car and kills him
Man i was SO excited for this movie and i saw a few inteviews so i knew they fucking stayed in the jungle for a while to film some of the stuff and like damn
Also, Barry? Love him. I really didnt want him to die like that but i looked it up and thats what happened in real life so its nice they stayed true to that
But, man. Eyes? Giant. Distracting? Very.
Also i love the vibrant colors in this and the camera movement and it really is a fun movie like youre gonna have a good time watching it
