THE PENGUIN LESSONS Trailer (2024) Steve Coogan

[@sweettony9359]

Finally, something that doesnt involved killing or explosions or assassins.

[@catsupchutney]

I thought this movie had something to do with Gotham City.

[@FloraWest]

I mean, I take your point about the surplus of "blow 'em up/shoot 'em up" films but it is Argentina in the 1970s-there will be killing.

[@VAPIDISM]

You may have inadvertently done a spoiler there. There is probably a mad hair raising car chase at the end, with occasional shots of the penguin on the back seat adding light relief comical moments. Penguin manages to escape Batman and Steve holds his arms raised and wide shouting AAH HAA.

[@adambazso9207]

I read nothing about the story, but I have the impression that it takes place during the military-junta in Argentina, which was not-so-secretly supported and aided by the CIA and the US-government and led to the horrifying torture, killing and "forced disappearence" of several people, who were deemed "ideologically dangerous" or "oppositional" in the eyes of the right-wing-dictatorship. Many of them were young people and many families don't know until today where the remains of their loved ones are. Because they were tortured, then burned or brought with helicopters above the sea and then were thrown into the abyss (while many of them were still alive). The US-aided, completely anti-democratic and inhumane regime-changes in South America in the 60's and 70's are so horrifying and so incredibly sad. I don't know if you know the Argentinian film "The Secret in Their Eyes" from 2009, with the always-superb Ricardo Darín (and a stellar cast). It depicts a story from this part of Argentina's history. It's so incredibly sad and infuriating. In school we didn't learn about these regime-changes, but as I read about them later I was so schocked and depressed by all of this. (Another great film about this subject is "Missing" /1982/ from Konstantinos Costa-Gavras. Again an incredibly heartbreaking, moving film in documentary-style. Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek are very good in this film.)

Pretty sure the woman who got disappeared did non have a good time.

[@tobywinter1]

I've always loved Steve Coogan. So glad he's still working in the biz.

[@adambazso9207]

Yes, he can do dramatic, tragic and very funny roles at the same time. My first introduction to him was in "24 Hour Party People" and "Tropic Thunder", two very different films.

[@adamgrimsley2900]

Ha ha, glad he's finally got something

[@lucad.marchesi8950]

I read the book years ago and I cried, then laughed than cried again. One of the best stories ever written.

[@suzannezoubeck5216]

First Jean Reno (My Penguin Friend), and now Steve Coogan, both in movies dealing with true stories based on two men in two different countries (Argentina and Brazil) rescuing oil-soaked penguins. Be still my heart...adorbs overload. Must see this. ❤☮🌎

[@FloraWest]

Right? I'm not mad at this as film sub-genre.

[@187revrend5]

Batman caped crusader reimagines the penguin and colin ferrels the penguin also came out this year, 2024 year of the penguins

[@baMbouZ]

We need feelgood movies. This looks like a perfect contender :)

[@thatssomething1]

Colin Farrell in an uncredited role here, he shrunk himself down too 😆

[@chairilgibranramadhancgr1203]

nice joke.

What about Morgan Freeman?

[@douglaskautzman4682]

You had me at Steve Coogan.

[@because_the_internet]

Steve Coogan is one of the great creative minds of our age. If it wasn't for his self destructive tendencies there would be a much broader recognition of this fact.

[@christopher9196]

True Artist

[@VAPIDISM]

“Self destructive tendencies” ? I thought his days with dabbling in sniffing the devils dandruff were behind him.

[@TheRagzzz]

Oh look, someone who is 20 years out of touch with reality.

[@chairilgibranramadhancgr1203]

a must see movie. made me cry. remembering me of my cat: enda. she followed me wherever i go and she knows my feelings. best regards to all cast and crew to this movie, from me in jakarta, indonesia. i am author.

[@GKViddingHD]

I can hear Werner Herzog talking about suicidal behaviour of penguins again.

[@the8ighth655]

A few years ago, I listened to the audiobook narrated by Bill Nighy. It was sublime.

[@CharlieFonville]

I thought this might have been the inspiring story of Benedict Cumberbatch learning to say “Penguin”

[@morningglorify]

So beautifully Steve Cooganesque. (Digging that longer hair too)

[@vivavaldez87]

Cumberbatch turned up to the audition, and they laughed him out of the room...

[@mediacityavid]

This should be a book. Who would publish it ?

[@tomthalon8956]

This looks refreshing.

[@sebastianb.1926]

another spectacular performance from Colin Farrel

[@killasonqo]

I assumed this was going to be a film about Batman's nemesis

[@chairilgibranramadhancgr1203]

Jonathan Pryce back to Argentina.

[@ivanpb1983]

A bit dissapointed this is not about Penguin Books, but it seems like a charming film.

[@Echiya]

Coogan for the win. Take my money,!

[@Zafaryabism]

Alan Partridge sure has a wide spectrum of roles up his sleeves I must say.

[@stevemurrell6167]

Looks great.

[@jacobbainbridge3440]

I love James Blunt

[@gedrooney9305]

Yep I’ll have a slice of this.

[@poja82]

As an argentinian i find this awesome,but not uplifting or funny at all 1:27 is very significant if you know what its happening. The latinamerican holocaust.

Steve Coogan is a comedic genius actor, up there with Peter Sellers & Alec Guinness

steve is alan partridge in everything, it's his only character - that's his range 👆

[@vivienclogger]

I'm seeing Steve Coogan tomorrow in the play "Dr Strange love" where he plays 4 different roles. Considering the rave reviews, I'll be very surprised if they've all just Alan Partridge.

Another Penguin movie?

[@djcrubi]

I'm Surprised you're the only one who said that. I just watched my penguin friend a few months ago. Bet these guys are upset that came out earlier.

[@sarangistudent8614]

Alan Partridge has let himself go

[@ianallardyce4222]

I'm sure I watched another recent trailer about a guy and a penguin?

[@edoardoruini199]

This would have been a terrible name for a movie anyway, but coming out the same year as the tv show "The Penguin"... oh boy.

[@peterburke3944]

I liked this movie better when it was about Bill Murray and an elephant

[@andrewryan1500]

You mean you liked a completely different film with a different cast, animal, setting, time period and plot.

[@gridlo]

@andrewryan1500 within in the 'Loveable crank forced to road trip with an animal he comes to learn life lessons from' genre, yes.

[@andrewryan1500]

@@gridlo It doesn't look much like a road trip film, though - most of it seems to happen in the university. And he takes the animal entirely voluntarily, so it's not like one of those 'Uptight guy has to cope with unruly animal' films such as Turner & Hooch or Beethoven. Seems more similar to Mr Popper's Penguins, if anything.

[@gridlo]

@andrewryan1500 you're right. It also appears that Coogan wears shirts that differ from Murray's. As well as differing pants. Plus if you look closely they each style their hair differently and their eye colors don't match. Well you've really turned me around on this thing.

[@andrewryan1500]

@@gridlo Jaws has got a cranky guy and an animal in it, so they're both basically ripping off that.
