I need a good movie that deals about isolation, loneliness, and not pseudo crap but real isolation. something thats dark preferably and more psychological in nature. thanks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
For individuals, The Shining is a good example. For more 'societal isolation', deliverance/the wicker man (original) are hard to beat. |

|
max in pi was quite isolated from the real world. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, but i meant more about a person who has inner turmoil, maybe something set at a school, with no friends etc.. something to make you really feel that the main character is an outcast.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oldboy is a pretty good example too. Without giving much of the plot away, the main character spends a substantial amount of time alone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
max has a lot of inner turmoil. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah pi is good, but i kind of want a new one.. oldboy seems to deal with complete isolation, im talking more about being around other people, yet feeling completely alone, and somehow making that a point in the movie. |
||||||||

|
|
the opening parts of solaris (2000ish version) is good for that stuff.. |

weekend at bernies 2 sorry |

About Schmidt is the last movie which fit that description for me. Nicholson plays that kind of role really well. Bill Murray also springs to mind. Broken Flowers maybe? |

The Machinist |

fight club also captures that feel, when you find out tyler is in his head. |

Yeah, it's awesome. Taxi Driver is also a great movie roughly within the same theme. |

"into great silence" for other kind of isolation... |

OOOOOOOH HAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ha hnnnnnn ha |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
great film. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok and can anyone recommend some movies where the main character is mentally ill? a real mindfuck movie i guess. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Same as my last post. It's a comedy, though "Bad Boy Bubby is just that: a bad boy. So bad, in fact, that his mother has kept him locked in their house for his entire thirty years, convincing him that the air outside is poisonous. After a visit from his estranged father, circumstances force Bubby into the waiting world, a place which is just as unusual to him as he is to the world." |

Benny and Joon? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
INLAND EMPIRE is a good bet (I haven't seen it yet) but it sounds like Lost Highway is perfect for what you're looking for. |

persona, by bergman |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
actually, almost every bergman film |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
forget about the those idiots. waking life is what you're looking for. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
YEEEEEEEEEES!!! Bad boy bubby is awesome!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks guys lots of good suggestions. about the only ones i havent seen are those bergman films, ill have to find them somehow. also about waking life.. that movie actually killed my interest in lucid dreaming heh.. to me it seems like the power of dreams lie in the fact that yiou dont know you're dreaming. it becomes like reality. if i knew i was dreaming (and ive never experienced it) then it seems to take the magic out of it cuz you're not toally immersed in it. realizing this sort of killed the movie for me, because instead of completely escaping reality like dreams can do, the main character knew he was in reality, and in a dream, which sucks :/ |

is pretty good, especially for a Norwegian film |
