Has anyone seen this film? God, what a shitty movie. I can't believe i wasted two hours of my life because of it. The acting was bad, story was so simple i wanted to puke. I mean really, i've actually heard people praising this lame excuse for a "film", oh well... |
||||||||

I thought that was an awesome movie! Especially the sound when that guy gets curbed... |

Great film. Shit ending. |

The ending was definetaly shit. |

I think it 's a great film,with a good message. even the ending has his function in this film. |
||||||||
|

|
|
Not only was the ending shit, the entire film was. Edward Norton should find himself unother day-job. |

its an alright movie,sure its a little melodramatic in places,but i thought edward norton gave an excellent performance. i remember going to see a preview showing of it a few months before it came out[couldnt be bothered staying for the talk about the movie afterwards]which was very funny because there were some mistakes in the movie which had the entire audiance laughing,several scenes where the boom wandered between the actors[this was obviously sorted afterwards].:) |

johnnyboy, good luck getting that reaction you're looking for. I dug the film. |

I really liked it as well and I thought the ending was very fitting It was a really powerful movie |

hum, if you were thinking it was an action movie or something, then ya, you might not enjoy it, but damn, it is a very powerful and intriguing movie. Edward Norton had some balls to play that role, and he did it well. The hate was so real, the pain so present. I've honestly never heard a single person say they didn't feel real uncomfortable and moved after the movie, it crosses a lot of emotions. Too bad it didn't appeal to you, it is a wonderfully powerful and insightful film. |

That is a fantastic movie, one of my favorite ever. And Norton is a great actor, he was flawless in that film. I love the mix of color and black and white scenes. |

i actually liked the film, and usually, im pretty over-critical about every film. i was shocked to see it was the same edward norton in fight club. he's got all those muscles in american history x, so i didnt recognize him right away... |

Oh my god, i thought Aphex Twin fans were smarter than that. No, i wasn't looking for an action movie, just something that would be better than your average after-school special. And that's insactly what it was, an after-school special, that only stupid teenagers enjoy. |

The movie was very good! just a little too sweet for those neo nazi bitches, but I liked it a lot. |

johnnyboy, you're trying too hard. :) |
||||||||

What the hell am i "trying too hard" then? That's only my honest opinion. |

Funny little man. |

I enjoyed the film also Very sensitive material handled effectively brutal in places but not sugary violence a la Hollywood; genuinely disturbing stuff. It seems you are in a minority here johnnyboy, which is fine. Vive la difference .. or something . |

It is melodramatic and overly tidy. It's been awhile since I've seen it, but what I remember disliking is the simplistic explanations and resolutions to the problems that arise in the film. How did this man become so angry? It appears as though a few dinner conversations with his racist father was all it took. How did he change his ways? A few conversations with a black 'co-worker' in prison and a good buggering. How did he change his brothers ways? Again, it appears, only a fleeting conversation about how he was wrong. Racism, hate and the motivations behind them are far to grand in scope to be handled in ninety-minutes of film. I don't like Hollywood trying to depict social issues. It NEVER works. This includes any film attempting to deal with: Gays, AIDS, HMO's, The Justice System, Racism, Adoption, Alcoholism, Welfare, Poverty...etc. It's to difficult to depict a fictionalized story about real-life problems when these subjects are better suited and more effective in a documentary. I will say that Edward Norton was f'n ripped in the movie. |

A great movie, though it DOES have some melodrama and gooey sappy stuff in there... still... the issues it tackles are powerful. And Edward Norton is built like a muthafucka! He looks like he could kick some ass in that one. Baldness exagerates one's toughness. |

My top 5 movies? Ok Dr Strangelove Baths Of Glory To Kill A MockingBird Vertigo Seven Samurai So as you can see, no Donnie Darko there. |

To Kill A Mockingbird is a wonderful movie, as was the book by Harper Lee. Good to see a Kubrick film in your top 5 too :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually there's two Kubrick films:-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OH, Paths of Glory You fooled me with your talk of BATHS of glory :P Have you seen The Killing, which Tarantino blatanty ripped off? Brilliant film. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, i think i've seen all Kubrick films, and more than once :) The Killing is probably ninth in my top 10 Kubric films, a fine movie indeed. |

i remeber i was impressed with it first time i watched it, but i saw it again last year and i did not see why i was so impressed. as GolgiApp says, the story is simple and hard to believe. i did like mr norton's metamorphosis though. he was also great in fight club |

it's cool, some of you critics were actually dead on about the things that true movie reviewers disliked in the movie. Roger Ebert- "... his father's dinner table conversation; his father tutors him in racism, but the scene feels like tacked-on motivation, and the movie never convincingly charts Derek's path to race hatred. " Ebert gave it 3/4 stars, and even though I believe it was a really good film, I will applaude those who pointed out it's weaknesses in a respectable and intelligent manner. It's a relief from the typical, That Suxors. that is all people will give of their oppions. Cool. |

As for me, the film is fairly good as the piece of art (it is really rather simple - not a serious-level film like Kubrick's or Kurosawa's). But as the "messenger" this film is GREAT. I think it really makes all dumb assholes (who are the majority of ppl in the world) to THINK about racism and realize what a shit it is. And yes, it IS rather moving - I don't usually care about what's going on the screen, but that moment with "put your teeth..." is phat... |

ok, you passed the test, even though you put dr strangelove instead of the almighty a clockwork orange... i give you the permission to go on with your american history x bashing. ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeh.... i liked the movie a lot.... the ending was realoy weird to say the least but if you listen to what he is saying in the background it makes perfect sence. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The end just made it seem like a film |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
By the way, i don't even like A Clockwork Orange that much. Sure it's light years ahead of american history x, but still it pales in comperasion when you compare it to other Kubrick work. |
