just saw it and i loved it..like watching tenenbaums on sea almost, except bill murray has a much bigger part. not as funny as i thought it would be, but im liking murray in this way even more, really and awesome actor..the music part was real nice as well, especially that sigur ros song when the shark turns up..that scene was fantastic :) |

3/5. Bored me a bit and didn't match up to Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums. |
||||||||
|

|
I saw it yesterday and it made me very happy. The use of silly electronic music was awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i prefered rovayl tenenbamus as well, but it might change after the next time i see life aquatic..which will be most likely very soon :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
royal* it's dark :) yeah, that electronic music was pretty hilarious in some scenes.. |
||||||||

They're all better than Bottle Rocket though. |

i still haven't seen it yet! :( |

By the way, Goran, I have finished my mix and posted it in the suitable thread. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i saw that..i downloaded both parts and will hopefully give it a listen very soon :) |

dear dr. offtopic, i am listening to this mix right this very moment and will comment on it in the appropriate thread because it rocks pretty hard. i don't know why you included Ratt, though. sincèrement, r40f |

The Life Aquatic was great. But I still have my qualms; SPOILERS 1) The action scenes seemed ever so slightly contrived, the way that Bill Murray takes on all those pirates was pretty unconvincing, and not that in the good way. 2) The 'band of eccentric characters' formula was also pretty contrived as well, I thought. But similarly to Tenenbaums and Rushmore, the characters had won me over by the end. 3) Cate Blanchett's fucking voice. She handled it easily in Lord of the Rings, so why does it sound so whiny here?? |

I still haven't seen this. No cinema nearby is actually screening the cunt. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The action scenes are obviously some kind of spoof. I thought they were very funny and all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i loved it. i think it will get better on repeated viewings as was the case with Rushmore and Royal Tennenbaums! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought it was pretty great! MUCH better than "the royal tenenbaums" - I mean, talk about contrived..! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that0s what im thinking! i really like the sea environment :) and those action scene were fun, i wouldn't want them any other way..not as convincing as rambo though :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I know. I was hardly expecting Bill Murray somersaulting in bullet-time with twin glocks... I don't know, I think I was still kind of getting into the film at that stage so it's no surprise it didn't work for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I liked the action scenes too - they kind of veer between silly and serious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wasn't he wearing his bathrobe for most of that action scene? that's how i remember it. funny but, like, also thrilling, like! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ya! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

4) At the film's climax, a group of people in the cinema started howling with laughter. Not even in that private joke-y way. It was as if they were expecting everyone else to be laughing as well, but they completely ruined it for me :0 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is one of the reasons i try to avoid theatres as much as possible.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I loved how everything looked staged - one big piece of theatre. reminded me a bit of Peter Greenaway films, because of the lavish and colourful decors that seem to only be a representation of reality. I thought Blanchett was great too - it actually took me a while to recognise it was her. only one I didn't like much was Willem Dafoe, who I normally like but I thought his role was a bit superfluous in a way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know i kinda laughed too. i laughed because he flashed back to seeing his son in the balcony right? and sitting next to him were some grizzled old men smiling or something so i snickered. i felt bad immediately though! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, the outlook of the film was fantastic..those underwater and boat scenes especially. as for dafoe, i liked him a lot actually, and i wish he had a bigger part..it was fun seeing him in those short pants..i was quite surprised he only had such a small part, it appeard almost like he was in it only because that red cap really suited his head :) and ofcourse he's just the right persong for the role of a german bus driver :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ya i agree, it seemed so un-dafoe of a roll that i almost forgot it was willem all together! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I loved it. The Bill vs Pirates scene was fuckin hilarious. Not to be taken seriously! I need to go see it again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What's wrong with contrived? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if it goes so far that it takes me out of the scene, that I have a hard time believing it, I don't like it. to me "the royal tenenbaums" was very forcedly trying to be "wacky", whereas for example "rushmore" and now "the life aquatic" pull this off without ever feeling very forced. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im going to have to go watch that one as quickly as possible... i love this kind of movie... And Bill Murray is an ACE actor |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well I personally did not find myself taken out of the scene with The Royal Tenenbaums, or feel that it was forced. But I admit, I am no incisive movie critic like yourself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bought the soundtrack the other day. very nice indeed! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i loved the royal tenenbaums so this is an must to see for me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just watched it for the 2nd time today..this is easily one of my fav movies! that last scene in the submarine is one of the best endings in the history of film..happy/sad/happy/sad..ohh, im getting the dvd, soundtrack..everything!! |
||||||||
|
|

hey, i just saw this yesterday (finally)! he did a great job of capturing this sea-expedition fantasy world - so immersive and subtly-detailed. it was just pure magic. it was very good, i thought. i used to watch those cousteau documentaries as a kid all the time... this was like the ultimate nostalgia/homage/parody all in one. i loved that about it. the only things i didn't like about it was that at the end it was a bit melodramatic at moments and felt sort of choppy. in some ways this is anderson's most artistically-successful film and in others it falls short of his earlier works. on its own, though, it is great. i thought the music was really cool - i loved the casio electronica. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, that tekkno music scenes were awesome. i was a huge fan of those cousteau films as well..infact i enjoy just about any film connected to sea.. "the end it was a bit melodramatic at moments" yeah, i could almost agree with that, but the fact that there was irony present all the time it taked a bit of that melodramatics away..for me anyway :) it was so subtle though, that i wasn't sure whether some scenes were meant to be funny or melodramatic :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it taked!? took * |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, the thing is that in rushmore and even the royal tennenbaums, the emotions are captured so well... i never needed to question the emotional scenes in those films. they were so real to me. but this one is almost like a surreal experiment. the action scenes were fantastic. they were so unexpected and really bizarre in the best possible way. the only thing about this movie that i don't like is that it is a little too formulaic. i felt it should break away more from his other films, and it did in some ways, but in other ways he was focusing on things he touched on in earlier films and amplified and exaggerated them. so it is the same but different. :) |
||||||||

the theater i saw it in took away from my experience - the bottom of the screen was cut off so i couldn't read half the subtitles and the picture was slightly blurry. the sound was so quiet and there was a guy near me who kept going, "this movie is so stupid... so stupid!" over and over to impress his mum i guess. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so i can't wait to see it on dvd! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i agree with what you're saying..this was definitely the most surreal one, and it sort of made more sense to me when i saw it the 2nd time around..and yes, eventhough this was a bit different to tennenbaums and rushmore it would maybe be better if he'd try something different next time..i'd love to see the same cast again though! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, you watch english films with subtitles? i newer knew that :) i watched it on divx so the sound was very clear but i'll definitely get the dvd and i might even go see it in a theatre.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
his next pic, or one of his next pics is supposed to be stop-motion animation of the R. Dahl children's book "fantastic mr. fox" or that's the rumor anyway! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hah - no, i mean the parts that were spoken in french had subtitles. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, im not too fond of cartoons :( r40f, there was italian in my version :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really? i guess i'm an idiot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that depends, i might have missed the french part..as far as i remember the only other languages to english were italian in that film premiere (and i think there was a qurstion by some reporter set in french) and filipin spoken by those hijackers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I saw it in the theater twice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I do not believe you. |
||||||||
|
|

I just answered your question, Paul, no need to get stroppy. |
