I'm fairly jaded and I found the last 15-20 minutes difficult viewing indeed. Watched it with a friend who's going tthrough a rough patch... he would have been more into a feelgood movie. When I saw the name Hubert Selby Jr. in the credits I thought, uh oh. This was the director's cut which I can only imagine was heavier than the original release. Yikes! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is this a horror movie or what? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not really, actually. Just imagine seeing that rougher parts for a little bit longer. I was surprised they called the director's cut a 'cut'. They just kind of shortened the length of certain scenes. |
||||||||

In the edited version that is. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
what is it about? |

|

|
Cows. |

Excuse me, I am dumb. I had that whole thing backwards. I thought you saw the 'edited version', not the director's cut. That post really makes no sense now. : \ |

At the end when they're cutting back and forth between Ellen Burstyn, Jennifer Connoly, *mumble* and *mumble*, man I was feeling horrified and nauseous. |

POWERFUL movie even if you have no real concept of what addiction (esp drug) is all about. i can imagine tho, if i knew someone like this i would find it hard to watch this movie for entertainment (or enlightenment) value! |
||||||||

Yeah, one of the few movies that really make you feel miserable afterwards. |

when i'm low, happy films make me worrse. |

My grandmother was a bit like the Ellen Burstyn character - too much television and too many pills. She never went psycho though she did get a tad weird at times. I loved Burstyn's scene with her son at the kitchen table when she was telling him how the promise of being on TV gave her a reason to get up in the morning. It was so poignant, like something from a Tennessee Williams play... |

saw it one time, it`s my favourite movie ! and i hope i never have to watch it again :) |

There was a British film about nuclear war called Threads. It was so fucking horrific I felt physically ill and deeply depressed for a day or two after seeing it. Why do I like doing that to myself? #-> |

OMG ellen was AMAZING.....what an amazing actress. didn't she win the best supporting oscar for that role? if not she was ROBBED. it's strange to think of it as entertainment....i mean it is a movie so it is strickly based on that definition. but i would not call it entertainment. more of a learning experience. you LEARN what not to get into....ehehhehe (i own the dvd....but i have yet to watch it again....have to be in the right mood) |
||||||||

|

|

that was scarry |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh god I love the same exact scene.. the dialogue is beautiful.. when she's saying how lonely she really is.. heartbreaking.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just took that movie to a party last night and introduced it to many a new people,...they were in shock but still seemed it like it. everytime i watch it, it seems more and more dramatic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why do people like to watch these movies anyway. It's about time we get some psychologist on this board.... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
There should be a big red button at the top right corner of each screen that says "get professional help NOW!"... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And PLEASE, let me be the first one to push that button ;-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe..true that. but, it makes me feel good about myself,..i don't have any bad addictions...just this damn messageboard! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And when you push it it dials the Join Us In Creating Excellence hotline! |

no she didn't. Julia Roberts won for Erin Brokovich. |
||||||||
|
|

because a film about all nice and well-adjusted people would be pretty boring. |

Juice by tappy! hehe i made a label for it in art last week we're doing pop art =] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahhhh i shoulda known YOU'd KNOW.....tee hee i think we watch these movies to see how others go about living.....to see a slice outta someone's life. i think while a lot would say they could care less.....most people are curious about other people and their lives. we're NOSEY.....ahhahaha it's a great learning experience for me, as i said this particular movie is not in the entertainment realm for me.....no way. great film however! |

I saw this movie finially. IMO it was such an awful movie. They wanted to make a trainspotting movie..... but ended up making it more grotesqe and violent, minus the dark humor and direction. I just didnt dig it at all. If I want to see drug addiction I can go to downtown hollywood after 9:00 pm and see it first hand. Movies to me are for hope, for a laugh, to scare you, to make you cry...... I dont like the movies that just are dark and explicet just for an excuse to be sick and violent.... and you end up leaving the theater feeling like you want to vomit or die.... Its ok I think to make a movie like that as long as you throw in some humor... something.... hard to explain ... like a reprieve .. a break just my opinion of course... I just didnt dig this one |
||||||||

I think we watch movies to watch movies. a visual and audial spectacle that encapsulates fantasy and (hopefully) interesting ideas and notions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Does the DVD have commentary? That would just kill it for me. "Blah blah blah, and then the cameraman farted this particularly juicy fart and we all laughed...." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mm.. I reacted very badly to the film.. I was kind of in a bad patch in my life when I saw it at a big international film festival we have here each year.. I was right in the middel of a HUGE cinema with an ENORMOUS screen.. I almost fainted during the last 10 minute sequence. I couldn't take it. that said, I do think its a good film. just because it made me feel shit, doesn't make the film bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep. If I'd been alone and a little drunker I'd have been sobbing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's an Aronowski movie, so IF the DVD has some commentary, you'll get a VERY, VERY long list of friends, colleagues, neighbours, etc. that played in the movie. Damn, he even 'recycled' the main character of PI... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not exaggerating.. I actually had to put my head between my legs or I'd gone down.. I was all white and shaking when I left the theatre.. did I mention I went to see it on my own without ANY notion what it was about? just went because of Aronofsky and Pi.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

did I mention I went to see it on my own without ANY notion what it was about? just went because of Aronofsky and Pi.. Hehehe, me too. I was expecting something wacky and a little disturbing, not the worst emotional bludgeoning since I broke up with my first longterm girlfriend. Another movie that I found as deeply afffecting but not nearly as depressing was Crumb by that Zwigoff guy, the one who later did the so-so Ghost World. It was also one of those "stagger blindly from the cinema" movies but the emotions were more like 50% inspiration, 25% depression and 25% compassion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mousey....... you have to SEE the DVD......the chapter selections, etc are like adverts from infomercials.....it's priceless. and yes they have the commentary with aronofsky......that might be interesting......but i have not watched it with that yet. =0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah qrter movies are to be entertained.... and expose yourself to new views on things... to take you to another place... but I just didnt dig this one. I thought PI was great and think he is a great director... but this one left me with a bad taste in my mouth... I saw it twice and the second time I liked it even less... its wierd cause some friends of mine think it is the best movie ever made, and say great things about it |
||||||||

Your friends are right. You are not. Dot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehehhe.......they were really clever with the DVD....you should check it out. and i'm sure hearing from the author will help you appreciate this movie on a different level perhaps. it's a good movie.....harsh reality....and not something i can watch unless in the proper mood. |
