If you like this


....you'll love these, they are in the same, crappy style.
Horrifyingly long sequences, *beep* up dialogs, no clear direction, philosophical mumbo-jumbo and a great way to waste your limited time on earth.

Knock yourselves out (no SJ - boobies in these though, just utter agony from beginning to end)

What about the direction confused you in this film?

I understood the film completely well, nothing confusing at all.

At 4x the speed, the whole thing was done in 25 minutes, which is what is should have been in the first place.

You said it lacked clarity. So what was unclear/confusing?

reply

Are you referring to this?

no clear direction


If so, I was referring to the super-drawn out scenes, the endless driving around, the staring into eyes, walls, mirrors and whatever, the lack of clear explanation as of why they were there at all, who they were and why they were only capturing men and not women, among 100 other things the director could have spent screen-time on, enlightening.

But no.

This is your average artsy-fartsy flick and they are all like that (hence my links to similar tripe), drawn out films, trying to make intellectual soup out of a rusting nail which really isn't that hard to understand, a small concept, coupled with idiotic directing.

There was no point to this movie at all.

the lack of clear explanation


So what did you find confusing?

NOTHING, idiot.

Go back to your video-games, troll.

reply

You are saying that you needed some things explained and that the direction wasn't 'clear'. So you obviously missed something in the film or thought something wasn't explained. So what did you think those things were? I can help you.

You poor baby; i hope you at least had your phone so you could chill on Facebook while it was playing..Movies that require you to have an attention span are so horrifying..

LOL. brilliant

My attention-span is fine, the problem arise when the movie use 15 minutes to explain something mundane that is ALREADY GIVEN AND UNDERSTOOD.

This tripe is just a flick for pseudo-intellectuals, trying to be all artsy, while in reality, only likes the film because of Scarletts ass and tits.

This movie isn't particularly known, nor is it particularly praised.

In fact, the only reason it's even on the radar is the aforementioned T&A.

If you want a great movie with lots of symbols and thought, try "The Fountain".
A movie doesn't need *beep* filming, crappy setup and scenes that go on forever to be deeper and artsy, you nutless beta-male hipster piece of *beep*

Hi "znapper." It's people like you that make me realize that I'm wasting my time debating cinema with the "lump masses." It seems a lot of people here have excrement for brains. Personally, Johansson's "T&A" are not AT ALL the reason this film is good; in fact, I found her to be overweight and I preferred her clothed. And yes, Aronofsky's "The Fountain" is also an excellent film, for different reasons. I'm surprised someone such as yourself picked up on that film. But I think it's time to stop discussing cinema with random idiots; it's like contemplating existentialism with a mushroom..

No wonder IMDB is shutting down the message boards. All these dudes trolling the boards of films they don't like and avoiding a decent discussion by insulting people.
I'll be sure to try Solaris, though. If it is similar to Under The Skin, I will probably love it ;-)

.. or Stalker. Same thing. Now on my wishlist.

reply

There is no film by Andrei Tarkovsky that is not worthy of praise and repeated viewings. Stalker may be my favorite, but all are highly recommended. Under the Skin is similar in that it stays with you in ways that are rare.
