masterpiece? or disapointment? I am curious what Stanley Kubrick fans on this messageboard thought of the film. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You get up on a christmas morning to ask this? Sorry not being able to cpomment, I haven't seen the film. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Personally I consider it a masterpiece, but there are lots on this board who don't (I asked the same question a few months ago)... I think it's either misunderstood or not understood enough by most people who doubt its amazingness. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

watching that film, you could tell that kubrick was a complete perfectionist - i don't think theres anyone around today who would put so much sweat into getting each shot _exactly_ right. An absolutely joy to look at, even if it is too long, has a shit plot, etc. |

Me too. |

i think its a really bad movie... |

I think, like all kubrick's films em a masterpiece. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think everything from kubrick except that one are masterpiecies |
||||||||
|

I like it , its a very entertaining movie visual wise. The plot is tricky ,like all Kubrick movies hard to desifer the inner story without reading an experts essay. |
||||||||
|

|
it's a beautiful piece of filmmaking |

Wonderful plot, very noir and headfucking. It had mystery at its core, wrapped in fear and desire. Visually the movie was a bag of the finest Hallowe'en candy I've ever had the honor to gorge myself on. The moments of humor were well placed too, like the way the good doctor brandished his Wallet of Power with its doctor's license like a detective's badge, and the way he was always ostentatiously paying for things. Masterpiece, absolutely. |

there was nekkid girlies inniit a huh huh huh |

i dont see the genius in it thats all i can say... very poor scenario, and in fact i dont like the principal actors... i just certainly dont care enough about rich people's orgies, or maybe love stories in general... but i think that in the kind of sexual insanity and paranoïa, "society" from brian yuzna is way better |
||||||||

i dident like it one bit. i liked the naked bits but thats it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have to say thou, my dislike for the film comes out of being disapointed with the plot. not so much the visual aspect. |
||||||||
|

i kinda liked how tom cruise was called a fag. i mean, when do you see tom cruise in a movie where he's not everyone's favorite lovable clown? he totally needed to be taken down a pizeg, YALL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and it is a verry scarry film. the idea of lust drraging you in to deep. something that you can't underrstand orr fight, getting out of yourr depth. so in a sence actually i think it was quite good. still i think it needed morre of an ending lets say, coz thinking about it it did have a plot, but not a climax. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey i like this film. its good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kind of........... but again anus, you need to watch "society" and youll understand what fearf of the lust means... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fearf = fear |

i have only seen it once and can't rrememberr alot of it. so what i said above is all of memorry. i might pick it up again. |

An acquired taste, more likely to appeal to die-hard Kubrickians than anyone else. The orgy sequence are some of the most magnificent minutes in the history of cinema, unless of course you saw the film in the US where it was digitally mauled. |
||||||||

i thought those scenes were stupids and empty... and i saw the european version....i cant see how they could have cut it ! i felt the sadness of the sex parts through the screen... seriously i hope rich people have more fun than that (mmmh i have some doubts in fact :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It wasn't cut, various bits of body were digitally obscured with fake vases etc. The scene appealed to me because it was fine art. |

"It wasn't cut, various bits of body were digitally obscured with fake vases etc. " shit scary thats like in the sci-fi novel "remake", where the guy has to delete alcohol bottles and cigarettes from old movies to remake them... i dindnt know the existence of that process for real... shit 2003 i feel you coming..... like a crawling bitch ;) |

I really like the music that plays in the sex-party-or-what-the-hell-it-is-scene. and the masks, wow they'r awsome! |
||||||||

here's how you know a movie is bad... you go to opening night with a line going out of the theater with kubrick fans and during the movie, people are talking on their cell phones, snoring or yelling, "THIS SUCKS!" at the screen. i was one of the snorers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's a shallow and ignorant way to judge a movie--people ignorant enough to use their cellphone during the screening of a movie aren't that likely to have opinions worth much attention. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the point is that hard-core kubrick fans were bored out of their minds... people don't use their cell phones during movies if they are at all interested in what's happening onscreen. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So it's Okay to disrupt other people's viewing because a person considers themselves a hardcore Kubrick afficianado? I know plenty of big Kubrick fans who consider this film a masterpiece, and there are numerous lengthy articles online detailing why they consider it to be so. |
||||||||

i thought this movie was brilliant...a good film is like a good song-it makes you really feel, often without really knowing why. this flick invoked perfectly the feelings one goes through when you're in love and you find out the object of your love hasn't always cared like you thought they did. i could talk forever about all the little shit in it but i'm not going to be rude.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
marlowe, chill... i didn't say it was Okay, I said it was an indication... sheesh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what you say is quite stupid catzscan... even if i didnt like the film... are you really yelling this sucks in the theater ? :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was just laughing seeing it, im never disapointed... i felt sorry for kubrick...what a worse last movie could he have done than this one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well it was your reasoning in the first place that rankled: just because some ignorant pricks didn't like it, and decided to make that known thru ignorant means, then you reasoned that's a way to know if a movie is bad... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
humanoid must not scape |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
marlowe i agree with you...i thought the film was a masterpiece. it is very misunderstood by many people like catzscan and the ignorant people in the theater. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey I know I'm gonna like you >:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lmao all right cos you like the same film... *passes through* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry, I'll be more hostile with people who pleasantly agree with me in future. My sincerest of apologies. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what i said was shitty forgive me ;D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hereby grandly forgive you <:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did I really yell 'this sucks' at the screen? uh, no. that's not what i wrote. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just saw it...not to impressed...plenty of nice scenes, unfortunately i don't like cruise & kidman, and well, since it was kind of thriller i was expecting a different end which was totally disapointing - i don't mind such ends, but since the whole film had something mysterious i expected something different for and end. |
||||||||

great film. kubrick deals with human nature so well. and he's untouchable in his mastery of the technical aspects of cinematography. he's a film god. fuck him for dying! |
