Welcome to Movie Shortens.
Follow us today to a 2008 crime thriller film called: In Bruges.
Before we start, be aware: there are spoilers!
As our movie begins, Ray is explaining that after he killed someone, he dumped the gun
in the Thames and got the message to get out of London and go to Bruges.
Ray and Ken are wandering around Bruges.
Ray is not impressed.
They book into a hotel to find that they have to share a twin room.
Ray is even less impressed.
They go on a sightseeing tour around the river.
Ray’s levels of being impressed reach an all time low.
Ken goes off on his own to sightsee further.
He climbs a tower that overlooks the city.
He is impressed.
He can see Ray down below and pretends to shoot him.
Afterwards they go for a drink, but Ken tells him that they are not getting drunk.
Ray tells him that they should wait for a couple of days and then, if there’s nothing
in the papers, they should return to London.
Ken says that they should wait in Bruges - as planned.
Ken speculates that they may have been sent here by Harry to do a job as it is a little
bit of an elaborate place to hide.
Ray is still bored but is now waiting for a call from Harry about a job.
He wants to go out to the pub but Ken says no.
Ray then suggests going out to look at all the medieval buildings again and Ken smiles.
As they look around, Ray drinks beer but suddenly spots a film crew shooting dwarves.
Ray spots a hot girl and wants to stay and watch.
He joins her at the refreshment table and says hello.
She introduces herself as Chloe and she asks how he got past security.
He says that that is his speciality and promises that he will tell her who he is at dinner
tomorrow.
She leaves her card for him.
Ken receives a message from Harry telling him off for not following his instructions
exactly and Harry will call him tomorrow.
Ken is trying to sleep when Ray gets home.
Ray tells him that he has drunk so much beer and isn’t drunk.
He also tells about his date but Ken doesn’t care.
At breakfast, Ken tells Ray about the message from Harry.
Ray reminds him of his date and says that they don’t need to both be there for the
call tonight.
Ken agrees as long as they do what he wants to for the day.
As they absorb more culture, Ray is bored.
He goes to sit outside and notices a sad dwarf walking by.
He waves but the dwarf ignores him.
He then sees some kids with their parents.
He remembers being at confession and then killing the priest but accidentally killing
a little boy as well.
Later, in an art gallery, they are looking at paintings of people in purgatory.
Ray asks Ken if he believes in the afterlife, in sin and hell?
Ken isn’t sure and they continue to discuss this as the day goes on.
Suddenly, Ray breaks down and says that he killed a little boy.
He says that this feeling will never go away - unless perhaps he goes away.
Ken tells him not to think like that.
That night, Ray meets Chloe for his date.
He jokes that he kills people for a living.
She jokes him back that she sells abandoned substances to Belgian film crews!
Ray tells her that he saw her dwarf, Jimmy, today who blanked her.
She jokes that he may get wasted.
Chloe goes to the bathroom and a Canadian man at the next table gets angry because they
were smoking too close to them.
Ray punches him and his girlfriend tries to hit Ray with a bottle.
Ray punches her in the face just as Chloe returns.
She is not happy that he hit a woman.
He is worried that maybe she has gone off him but instead she kisses him.
Ken receives a call from Harry who asks where they were when he called yesterday.
Ken says that they were out eating.
Harry asks if Ray can hear them and tells Ken to get rid of him.
Ken pretends to talk to Ray and tells him to go out for a bit.
Harry starts to talk to Ken about Bruges and asks if Ray is enjoying it.
Ken says that he is but it’s not really Ray’s thing.
Harry is angry about this as he loves Bruges.
Ken tries to backtrack on what he said to calm Harry down.
Harry says that he’s glad that Ray is happy as he wasn’t a bad kid.
Suddenly Ken realizes that Harry is going to have Ray killed and Harry tells him to
go to an address tomorrow to receive a gun.
Ken realizes that he is being told to kill Ray.
Harry tells him to call back when he is dead.
Ray and Chloe are having fun when a gun is put to the back of his neck.
Eirik says that he is Chloe’s boyfriend.
Ray attacks him and takes the gun.
Despite the fact that the gun is only loaded with blanks, he shoots Eirik in the eye.
As he howls, Chloe says that he is her ex-boyfriend and they often rob tourists together.
Ray opines that he knew that no-one nice would ever like someone like him.
She kisses him and then takes Eirik to the hospital.
While she is gone, Ray searches her apartment and finds nose powder and some more bullets.
Ken is at the bar drinking.
Jimmy walks in with his lady and Ken congratulates him on getting a pretty one.
He sits with his girl before Ray walks in.
He tells Ken that he is intoxicated before he walks over to Jimmy and demands to know
why he blanked him today.
Jimmy replies that he was also high.
He thinks that Jimmy and his lady are weird before offering them some fun substances.
They all get wasted together before Ray and Ken leave Jimmy behind.
The next morning, Ken goes out early alone.
Ray awakes to find him gone and lays there nervously.
Ken arrives at the address that Harry provided to meet Yuri.
He is given a gun and returns to the hotel.
The hotel owner tells him that Ray was behaving strangely today.
She is pregnant and he asked if she wanted a boy or a girl.
She said that she didn’t mind but he gave her 200 Euros to give to the baby.
She refused but he insisted.
She gives the money to Ken to return to Ray.
She tells him that he said he was going to the park.
Ken watches Ray from a distance.
Ken gets out the gun and attaches the silencer.
He says that he is sorry before walking briskly towards Ray but before he can shoot him, Ray
pulls out a gun and puts it to his head.
Ken tells him to stop and Ray jumps up.
He realizes that Ken was about to kill him but Ken replies that Ray was about to end
his life instead.
They decide to go somewhere and talk about this.
Ken says that he wouldn’t have gone through with it but Ray doesn’t believe him.
They inspect each other's guns but Ken won’t give Ray his gun back.
Ken tells him that he will give Ray some money and put him on a train somewhere.
Ray breaks down and says that he wants to die because he killed a little boy.
Ken tells him to go somewhere and try to do some good.
He can’t bring that little boy back but he could save the next one.
Back at the hotel room, Ken sees Ray’s final words and tells him what Harry said.
Later Ray gets on the train and tells him to lay low for a few years.
Ray asks if Harry will be mad at him for not killing him, but then says that it doesn’t
matter as he’ll probably do it within a few weeks anyway.
The train departs and Ken calls Harry to tell him that he has just put Ray on a train to
goodness knows where.
If Harry wants to do something to Ken then he knows where he is staying.
He hangs up on Harry who is in his study - furious!
His wife unsuccessfully tries to make him calm down but he then tells his family that
he is going to Bruges.
Ken dresses in his best suit and waits in the hotel room.
Ray is traveling through the Belgian countryside.
The train comes to a halt and a policeman walks through the train.
Ray looks suspicious and the policeman asks if he hit the Canadians.
Ray doesn’t understand but then sees the couple that he hit in the restaurant.
He is arrested and taken back to Bruges.
Harry meets with Yuri and selects a gun.
Yuri tells him that he knew that Ken wouldn’t kill Ray.
Eirik is there also and tells him what Ray did to him.
Harry tells him that it serves him right before leaving to find Ken.
Ken is sitting outside a cafe and Harry joins him.
Harry demands an explanation and asks where Ray is now but he doesn’t know.
Ray is actually being bailed out of a police station in Bruges by Chloe.
Ken understands that Harry has to do what he has to do but he can’t do it in the open.
Ken suggests that they go up the bell tower where it is quiet.
Ray and Chloe are outside the bell tower as Ken and Harry walk past.
They are prevented from entering as it is past closing time by a rude guard so Harry
kills him.
Ray and Chloe meet Jimmy who is dressed in a school uniform for the movie.
He offers them to come see the filming tonight but Chloe says that they are busy.
In the bell tower, Ken and Harry are talking.
Harry gets out his gun and points it at Ken.
Harry doesn’t know what’s happening as Ken seems to have given up.
Ken tells him that he respects Harry for his integrity and honor and he says that he had
to let Ray go.
Harry now feels that he can’t kill Ken now so just shoots him in the leg.
Eirik notices Ray and Chloe and he rushes to tell Harry that Ken is there.
Ken tries to stop Harry from going to get Ray but is shot in the neck.
Harry apologizes and tells him that Ray cannot expect to kill a kid and get away with it.
Harry leaves and Ken picks up a gun and climbs back up the tower.
He jumps over the edge and lands on the ground below with a thud.
Ray runs to see him and with his dying breath he warns Ray that Harry is there and to take
his gun.
Harry appears and Ray runs as he is shot at.
Harry continues to chase him but Ray escapes and arrives back in the hotel.
Harry follows him there.
In the room, Ray finds his gun.
The owner tries to stop Harry but Ray is concerned so tells her to let Harry past.
She does but refuses to leave.
Ray makes a deal that he will jump in the canal and Harry can shoot at him from there
in order to leave the woman and her kid out of this.
Ray jumps out of the window and lands on a boat but Harry shoots at him and hits him
in the chest.
He manages to get off the boat and runs with Harry in pursuit.
They interrupt the movie shoot.
Jimmy approaches Ray and Ray calls out that it’s a little boy.
Harry shoots him but Ray continues to crawl towards Jimmy who also got shot dead.
Harry is a man of principle and pays the price for killing what he believes to be a little
boy.
Ray is carried away by paramedics and decides that if he survives he will go to the kid's
mother and apologize to her and accept whatever punishment that she chose.
At least he wouldn’t be in Bruges.
But then he realized that maybe this is what hell is - the entire rest of eternity spent
in Bruges.
He really hopes that he doesn’t die.
