DCIB Zoom WatchAlong: Crew! 3pm Chicago Time!

Posted on by

Happy Sunday!!! Normally I say if no one shows up within the first 15 minutes, I cancel. But today, no! I’m just gonna let the thing run in the background while I clean the living room if no one shows up. And occasionally comment.

Crew

It’s on Netflix, it’s only 2 hours, it’s DELIGHTFUL, you all should watch it.

  9. This is such a perfect intro to Kareena’s character. She’ll sleep with a man she just met, but only if he is attractive as well as rich, and if she thinks he isn’t married. And when she finds out, she makes the judgement that she is owed a wallet of cash for his lies. She doesn’t try to blackmail or anything like that, just a quick punishment. And we never see her steal from someone who isn’t both very rich and a terrible person.

    • I like how no one is actually sad! He was an irritating coworker. Kareena is the only one taking it in stride, but Tabu and Kriti are just creeped out. No gentle feminine emotiosn here

  20. Love how all three women struggle with their male family members sacrificing for them! And that all 3 male family members make legitimate sacrifices (heirloom, car, sense of pride)

  21. I was just watching the documentary Bad Vegan about this! Sort of. This woman gets caught up with a conman/abusive husband and gives him all her money and so on. But at a certain point, she starts pulling the money from the business and skipping payroll. And telling people “we’re a family! Have faith in me!” UGH! Don’t borrow money from your employees!

  23. Having now watched this movie I don’t even know how many times, I’m trying to figure out why these are the two that Tabu calls instead of the rest of the crew? They weren’t friends outside of work before this, any more than they were with the rest of the crew, that’s why it’s so suspicious when they start hanging out all the time. Is it just her instinct of who would be most receptive to stealing supplies? The flight crew that are ever so slightly crooked already?

    • Maybe because it is such an innocuous request? He isn’t asking for dinner or anything at that point. And it’s after he did her the favor, that’s a point too.

      • There’s also tense music playing underneath until that point in the scene, leading us to worry that maybe he will ask something excessive of her (or inquire more deeply about the “perfume bottles”). But then he says such a minor thing that we’re all relieved, and the background music just dissolves away.

      • Also, she called out to him. He didn’t lurk and then rescue her like a creep, she was the one who took the initiative and now he’s just pushing to know where he stands.

  34. You know what? This movie is kind of old school in the morality. Lowlevel crimes, okay, necessary for survival, hurt nothing. Like breaking liquor laws or smuggling in perfume. But then they hit you with the moral lesson that smuggling large amounts of gold is just benefitting the wealthy and stealing from the poor. Like in a 1970s movie when you find out the country liquor is killing young men or something. And Diljit gets to be that line, he will let perfume go, and break liquor laws, but he understands that gold smuggling crosses over.

  36. Kriti’s top here is RIDICULOUS! there is no way to wear it without taping it down. Why where it if you want to be able to move around and enjoy yourself at a club?

  39. Another great male character moment! It’s not that men have to be rich or earn more to be good people. It’s that they have to be respectful and supportive. Her brother’s terrible because he actively drags people down instead of lifting them up.

    • Yes. Tabu is willing to support her husband and the sister-in-law who are good people. She is not willing to support her brother who is awful and entitled.

    • It’s not terrible from the front, maybe they only looked at it from that angle? Or, maybe this was shot later and they had to give her a wig to make her hair match the rest of the film?

  43. Exchange rates are so interesting. I just listened to a podcast about human trafficking Nigeria to Europe, they would trick the victims with the exchange rate, say “the journey will be paid off once you give me thirty thousand”. And the victims would think of it in terms of what thirty thousand meant in their local money, then arrive in Europe and learn the value of cash there when it was too late and they were committed to an impossible debt. Except not of course, because trafficking is illegal, but it felt like that.

  47. I worry about Kriti’s pilot career. She’s the only one who didn’t want a self-employed thing. Obviously Kareena will funnel the money into her lotion, Tabu into her restaurant, they will be happy and it will be easy to hide the money. But unless Kriti starts her own airline, how is she gonna fly?

    Maybe buy a plane and do charters?

    • Kriti now has financial security so she can take the time to keep applying until she finds a pilot job. She took the air hostess job to pay off the loan. Now that’s all taken care off.

  48. I wish this music video was slightly better. They should have used sets that were more clearly airplanes and airports. I have to squint to see it in some of these shots.
