David Kaplan: Yeah
Synopsis
Misfit cousins reunite for a tour of Poland to honor their beloved grandmother, but old tensions resurface as their family history unravels… When Benji and David visit their grandmother’s home in Poland, the location is where Jesse Eisenberg’s real-life ancestors settled in the diaspora. Benji Kaplan: We stay moving, we stay light, we stay agile. Benji Kaplan: The conductor will come by, he takes tickets, we tell him we’re going to the bathroom. David Kaplan: Bathroom. Benji Kaplan: He gets to the back of the train, starts walking toward the front, looking for stragglers. David Kaplan: Sorry, are we the stragglers?
Benji Kaplan: Yeah
By the time he gets to the front, the train will be at the station and we’re free. David Kaplan: That’s so stupid. Tickets are probably like twelve dollars. Benji Kaplan: That’s the way it works. We don’t have to pay for train tickets in Poland. This is our country. David Kaplan: No, it’s not, this was our country.

They kicked us out because they thought we were cheap.. 12 Etudes, Op. 25, No. 3 in F major, Written by Frederic Chopin, Performed by Zvi Erez. I really liked “A Real Pain.” It’s about two cousins, played by Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin, who travel to Poland and go on a tour that includes a visit to an old concentration camp. So the movie obviously gets dark, but it’s also funny and heartwarming. The cousins go out and smoke weed together.
I found the film to be realistic
Sometimes their relationship isn’t pleasant, but I can tell they love each other. Eisenberg also wrote and directed the movie, and he did an incredible job. The story, acting, cinematography, editing, and so on are all great. There are a lot of great shots. The concentration camp scene is touching and respectful. I felt sad at times during the film. I guess I really cared about the cousins.
I just love this film
There are no scenes that went on too long. "True Pain" is definitely one of my favorite films of the year. Obviously, I highly recommend watching it. From Alien: Romulus to Road House, take a look back at some of our favorite posters from 2024.
