[Dogs] I will brook no Dissent.

Gone Baby Gone = Dogs
In every important way.

GreatWolf:
I will now commit a logical fallacy.
Dogs=noir detective fiction
Gone Baby Gone=noir detective fiction
Therefore:
Dogs=Gone Baby Gone
I jest, but not really. The genre is all about making moral judgments. What DitV adds is a look at who is passing judgment and asks, "By what right do you get to judge?" The rest of the genre assumes the right of the detective to pass judgment.
Darcy Burgess:
"In every important way." = Holy fuck, look at what it cost him. He's questioning his right to judge all the way, and so is his fellow Dog. It's everyone else who's ok with his right.

Ha! I hadn't considered that.
I yield the point, sir.
And, may I say: what an amazing film.
Darcy Burgess:
Yeah, it came theeeese close to knocking Blade Runner out of top spot on my faves list.
It also proved, once and for all, that Ben Affleck belongs off-camera.
