The movie is disturbing. Not sure what Korine was going for. Shock value?
Edit: Now it all makes sense. This is the director/writer. Last edited by MrGiggity; 03-22-2015 at 10:33 PM.. Reason: Added videos |

Hollywood doesn't seem to get that he's clowning them...

We'll all just have to agree to disagree, that movie is the kind of intelligent sci-fi this world doesn't have neeearly enough of... kudos to the Scottish film board for putting this out. |

By the way, "intelligent" I'm perfectly OK with. This was mostly inaccessible.

But I don't think we're using accessible in the same way. I mean it's not very approachable, easy to get into. A movie can not be mainstream, while still being accessible to viewers. It can be intelligent while still being accessible. Most audiences, even among the movie-going literate, would find this movie a strange duck. There's very little dialog; there's very little action (and I don't mean bang bang, car go boom, action; I mean very little actually happens); there's a huge amount metaphor; there's also a huge amount of "WTF is going on". |

I had no trouble following this movie at all, it was this aliens transformation from cold, murderous otherworldly creature... to becoming somehow enchanted with what it means to be human, it gained a level of compassion and wanted to experience life as we experience it.
Its artsy for sure, but not so high minded that its hard to follow... anyway, this debate is over... I loved it and that's that. |

Her character is wasted by scene after scene of her "recruiting" people and by the time she's "in danger" I'm actually cheering for the person after her. I don't sympathize with her fate - there was no redemption - and I was almost as happy with the ending as I was burning the DVD in my portable grill and watching the smoke rise from that as I told Netflix it was never delivered...
