Jeff after the movie: "What the fuck?"

That about sums it up.

Since the movie ended, I've been reading reviews to see if people thought what I did about the movie.

I've since read up on theories and in depth articles about the hidden meanings of the movie. Honestly, I think this is a movie worth seeing. During the movie, it definitely leaves you wondering "what the fuck", but the deep meanings behind the movie really help it come more clear.

I'm realizing I actually enjoy the movie a lot and I want to go see it again. Anyone else who sees it, let me know what you think. And don't read up on anything about it beforehand. Leaving confused I think is part of what makes it good.

My God, that looks like a yelp review or something

Didn't know Lawrence and Aronofsky were in a relationship. That makes this movie more interesting.

I don't care for movies that I have to do in-depth research and read numerous theories to figure out what the Director was attempting to do

I take it you don't enjoy David Lynch films then.

That was what I was thinking about.

Having some underlying themes is fine, but I feel like your audience should at least leave with some sense of what they just saw. They shouldn't have to research every last bit of it to come to a conclusion.

But maybe that's the beauty of it

Most likely not, and since I've taken my position, I refuse to google what he's done.

:hupu:

Blue Velvet is a classic.

His work is too great to not be recognized; here ya go:

Twin Peaks (the entire original series + reboot)
The Elephant Man
Eraserhead
Mulholland Drive
Blue Velvet
Inland Empire
Fire Walk with Me
Wild at Heart
Lost Highway
The Straight Story
Dune (the adaption to Frank Herbert's classic novel).

All of them are absolutely genius. He's a god amongst men. <3 <3 <3

oh, and yw.

Saw 'Mother!' last weekend, and my god, was that a weird fucking movie!

You can't expect anything different though from the man who directed 'Requiem for a Dream', the film was glorious though.

There was this one particular scene towards the end that I was shocked at the fact that they were allowed to show that. Not that I had a problem with it - but you hear so many times from directors that had cut out a lot of stuff they wanted to include due it being too violent or macabre, even with an R rating. So the scene they showed towards the end of this movie was just the jaw dropping type of shocking. I just sat still in my seat at awe at the fact that a scene like that was being shown considering the inevitable controversy that will be surrounding it.

The entire film just had this suffocating feeling about it. All the fear and confusion that the main-character felt during the film - you felt as well. It was one confusing scene after another yet each scene up'ed up the uneasy feeling within you. It was unpleasant yet amazing to feel that way whilst watching something - a total immersive experience that was well worth the money.

What’d you think JJ
