El Mamerro Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 The Mist was pretty good... every bit that showed monsters was pretty shitty (with the exception of the super giant monster near the end, which was awesome), and some of the dialogue was stunted as hell, but it had some pretty amazing moments. And the end was a total fucking slap to the face of the audience, I loved it and thought it took an enormous amount of balls to pull off.

Power Bill Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Eastern Promises was dope! best Russian Mob movie ever. Also I thought that the assasination of Jesse James... was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Flu Sanwich Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 The Mist does have obvious similarities to The Fog, but I'm a big Stephen King fan so I thought it was real good. I shit bricks over the ending. If I was him, I woulda thrown myself under one of the tanks. By the way, dudes old school Land Cruiser is such a dope ride. Eastern Promises was dope! best Russian Mob movie ever. I thought it was just ok. Nothing special. I just saw 21 . Good movie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power Bill Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Re: Aspring Filmmaker My names jojje, im from sweden and im 22 years old. I'm currently on my first term at the International Academy of Film and Television. I initially took journalism in college but got frustrated with sitting in class doing exercises after exercises. I wanted to create something tangible and substantial. One Google search led me to IAFT and the rest is history. Now im in the process of editing my own film. A film that I wrote, I directed, and produced. I'd like to meet people in this forum who share the same passion for filmmaking as me. It would be great to share ideas and discuss about anything and everything. tits?:scrambled: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopsticks Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 :lol: ^ I watched Battle Royale the other night, everyones probably seen it, but if you hav'nt definatly watch. Awesome film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakeenyc Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 the thing abt that movies is that there are so many characters its difficult to remember who is who...but i liked it 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopsticks Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yeah thats true, Can be quite hard to follow. I heard there was a remake of it? or something based on this movie, any know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serum Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 there is a part 2 but i wouldnt suggest watching it i couldnt get past the first 15 minutes of it. i liked battle royal but i felt it could have been better. yes there is a remake in the works but it will suck huge balls. because hollywood seems to think that we are all fruitcakes that couldnt handle a film like this and will have to water it down into easily digestable piece of shit. not to mention i also hate the recent trend of remaking every asian horror movie that has made any money recently.

chopsticks Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 ah really? Ill give that a miss. Yeah im with you on the whole remake thing. Im more annoyed that the fact there remaking The Warriors. If anyone hasnt watched the original.. GO NOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwight Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 "NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN is an ALLEGORY. The title is from the first line of Sailing to Byzantium by William Butler Yeats, a poet classically trained and considered by many to be the greatest 20th Century poet. Death is Anton Chigurh. His hair style (hood-ish, shroud-ish) and black clothing suggest Death. Death kills the innocent as well as the guilty and has his own set of rules. When the witness to the high-rise killing asks, “Are you going to kill me?” Death answers, “It depends. Do you see me?” When the kids on the bicycles help him after the car accident he tells them, “You didn’t see me.” If you see Death, you die; if not, you may live. Chigurh seems to come and go at will and seems to know where Moss is without trying very hard. His rules are his rules and they seem arbitrary and random. He is referred to by the sheriff as a “ghost” and he seems to be able to go wherever he pleases. Death kills with a cattle stun gun, almost like a member of the clergy administering a cross to the forehead of a parishoner. Death is often portrayed as a hooded figure with a scythe; in this case he’s a “hooded” figure with a cattle stun gun. Man is Llewellen Moss, part sinner, part saint. He is offered a deal with Death when Death offers to ignore his wife but take him. Instead, Llewellen challenges Death and chooses declines the offer. This is straight Faustian bargaining. By declining Death’s “This is the best deal you’re gonna get” Moss signs not only his own death warrant but his wife’s, too. Llewellen challenges Death to a showdown and when his wife tells the sheriff, “He won’t quit, neither. Never has.” the audience expects a later showdown because we’ve been trained to see the protagonist take on the antagonist at the climax of a story — but before that can happen life’s randomness gets in the way and the Mexicans kill him. This is the major turn in the movie and the one that takes the sail out of the audience, which has been cheering for Man in his struggle against Death without realizing it. Free Will is Carla Jean. She chooses at the end of the film not to allow Death to be random. She has a 50% chance of saving herself but chooses not to avail herself of the opportunity. She is the bravest of the lot, choosing to die by her own decision and not the randomness of Death. The sheriff is the philosopher trying to understand the universe. He cannot and is defeated by Death in his attempt. At the movie’s end the Sheriff bemoans the fact that God never entered his life. One of God’s creatures, Death, was in the Sheriff’s life but he didn’t realize it (see “Scene with Sheriff” below). The story is the Sheriff’s, his quest to understand Life, and the dream he tells at the end of the movie explains that his own father, long dead, has gone before him into the darkness of death and awaits him. Interesting parallel — Moss pays money for a coat as he crosses into Mexico; Chigurh pays the kids money for a shirt after his accident. What is meant by that? Cannot be a coincidence. Chigurh walking away from the accident at the end shows that Death cannot be stopped. It will always walk the streets. It is a part of our existence forever. Scene with the Sheriff and Death at the same hotel room at the same time but the Sheriff does not see Death. This scene is vital — it solidifies the allegory. The Sheriff enters the room but does not see Death and so he does not die. Death sees the sheriff but chooses not to kill him because he’s not seen in return. This scene is the “supernatural” scene which signals that we’ve watching an allegory, that what we’ve been watching is more than it appears. Why 1980 for the book/film when it was written in 2005? Could it be it was begun then and the author simply chose not to update it? What is the reason? Must be one. Might be nothing more than the author started this 25 years ago and didn’t feel like updating it to present times." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Flu Sanwich Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Interesting take on No Country For Old Men. Netflix just delivered these two gems. If you haven't seen em you probably should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isayedGIT! Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I liked that analogy of no country for old men. But Chigur carries a tool used to slaughter cattle (maybe symbolic in it's own right?), not stun them, and it is in no way scythe-like. He only kills one guy with it.

skeedupfromthefeetup Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 i don't get how people are saying no country for old men was unrealcause moss lasted the whole movie and chigur didnt die, moss was a war vet, so he has expierence in combat or whatever, and chigur is a bad motherfucker..... i dunno....i just liked the movie alot...
