So, i'm reweatching Daredevil season 2 because i'm a simp.
Anyhow, season 2 episode 3, Daredevil and Punisher flirting fighting on a rooftoop. When Police investigate the scene this poster shows up:
Tumblr media
Well if it isn't Standard Heating Oil. And then I thought oh well I guess it some kind of those fake comapnies they use for movies, surly there is no wayy
Oh well, a short trip to google and I find this:
Tumblr media
Same roof, same poster. I guess they filmed it in the same time frame.
So guess what, kids? From now on both Abel Morales *and* Santiago Garcia & Frankie Morales are canon to the MCU.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Rewatch and Review
I did a deep dive in the making of this movie and it adds to the experience.
They worked will a real team of navy seals to really make the team feel more authentic outside of their preexisting relationships with one another. The guns they used were real and everything. They truly learned not only physical, but also the mental aspects of being a team of people in the military who operates at such a high level.
They all had a separate member of the team to go one on one with as well. It’s truly fascinating.
The director is JC Chandor, and he’s also directed and written A Most Violent Year.
I’m finding that his movies are mainly character driven. It’s more about complex characters in different situations or how they navigate a specific environment. There is a “story/plot”. The premise of the story can be interesting, but the complex nature of the characters is what really sells the movie.
This specific movie is about the special forces and how they navigate life once they “retire”. Which is the most obvious part, but it’s also about a group of guys who did it together and have a reunion.
I think what makes this movie special is how they all interact and how different and similar they are. It can be argued that Santiago starts the movie hungry for more. He just wants more. Out of his life, out of his job. He wants something to show for all the things he’s lost and missed out on while “fighting for his country”. He not only wants it for himself, but also for the people he served with.
They’ve all moved on with their lives. In whatever way that means. Santi wants so much more for them. Doing whatever he can to convince them to join him, isn’t selfishness, but a love to him. A vow to his loyalty and how much he cares about them.
They don’t see it that way, but he’s fine with that. Because he sees the end result.
He pushed and he pushed hard. It might not have been completely right. But it’s not completely wrong either.
You could also argue that Tom is the one that made the wrong move in every turn. One look at the money changed him completely. He went from ambivalent at best to, beyond all in. He was gone. It’s in the way he stopes following their plan. How he says they got time when the didn’t. How he put them in a situation to kill people they didn’t anticipate killing.
You see this change between both Tom and Santiago. They both start the film at completely different ends of a spectrum and swap places by the end.
As they keep going, Santiago , and the rest of them for that matter, care less and less about the money with them. They give up more and more as things get complicated. However, Tom argues more and more. Every time he opens his mouth, it’s about how much money they are leaving behind. It’s in that tension of his greed and the goal of getting home that gets Tom killed.
By that point, Toms loss is when there’s a change in everyone. It’s where now they have to get at least some of this money for Toms family. However, even that gets complicated. Lorea’s men have caught up with them, and are blocking their escape.
There’s a beautiful moment when Will calms Santi down when they have to figure out how to confront the rest of Lorrea’s men and how they are all teenagers. Santiago says they have to kill them all because he can’t grasp doing this all for nothing. He doesn’t want to go home, tell Tom’s family he’s dead, and have nothing to show for it.
He says “I thought we could do this.” And in that specific moment you can see how upset he is that every thing is falling apart. How he accepts that very fact in this moment that they failed and need to focus on getting Tom home. He’s made a complete assessment change on everything. The money and what he thought he wanted.
It’s an amazing arc for both of them. (Not Tom dying. But the processes of greed to his ultimate downfall, and Santi’s deliverance of sorts to accepting the simpler things of life. That he can’t beat the system even if he tries really hard. He just has to take the short end of the stick that has inevitably been offered to him, and find a way to be content with it.
I will never be able to shut up about this movie! Thank you for reading if you made it this far!

Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac in A Most Violent Year (J.C. Chandor, 2014) Cast: Oscar Isaac, Jessica Chastain, Elyes Gabel, Albert Brooks, David Oyelowo, Alessandro Nivola, Albert Brooks, Jerry Adler. Screenplay: J.C. Chandor. Cinematography: Bradford Young. Production design: John P. Goldsmith. Film editing: Ron Patane. Music: Alex Ebert. In a movie that might have been called "Do the Most Right Thing," Oscar Isaac plays yet another ethically challenged protagonist. Abel Morales is not as cranky as Llewyn Davis or as politically savvy as Nick Wasicsko, the beleaguered Yonkers mayor of the 2015 HBO series Show Me a Hero, but he's another little guy who deserves better than the forces opposed to him will allow. He's no moral paragon: He couldn't have built a successful heating oil company in New York City without bending a few of the rules -- and without the help of his less-scrupulous wife, Anna (Jessica Chastain). It's 1981, and Morales is on the brink of a big deal, purchasing property on the East River that will enable him to eliminate some of the middlemen in the business. But then everything starts going awry: His trucks are being hijacked and the district attorney (David Oyelowo) has decided to make him a target in his exposé of corrupt practices in the heating oil business. It's a gritty urban tale, the kind that the movies haven't seen much of lately, demanding an audience that doesn't ask for a lot of glamour and knows how to wait patiently for things to unfold. As director and screenwriter, J.C. Chandor resists the temptation to reveal too much too swiftly, building a quiet tension as we begin to bring the story into focus. He also handles action well, as the title suggests, although much of the violence is latent. Best of all, he showcases some fine performances, not only from Isaac and Chastain and Oyelowo, but also from Albert Brooks as Morales's attorney, Elyes Gabel as one of the victimized truck drivers, and Alessandro Nivola as one of Morales's mobbed-up competitors. There are moments when the script's depiction of Morales's determination to go as straight as possible seems a little too much like forcing him into the good-guy role, and the climax is too melodramatic, but on the whole it's a solid movie.

My Review
Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain would make the perfect marriage in real life but until that day (probably never) this is the best example of an apex romantic relationship. Such beautiful people. Such beautiful set design. Incredibly interesting story. Absolute Luxury. 10/10

In the Loop and Margin Call would make for a great double feature of "be entertained while watching what basically happened to make the world as fucked up as it is for half as long as you've been alive"
