: I say again to those that saw the movie. Just imagine the same movie in the hands of David Lynch, David Fincher,
-----Fincher...Now there is a guy who couldn't end a movie to save his life......Great movies......bad endings.
And i think Spielberg is the only guy who coulda got the loot needed to make it.
After all..it's a very difficult work?
Tarsem, or even Stevorino himself circa. 1980.
--What's this "mystical" circa 1980 Spielberg.
I mean nothing in 1941 or Raiders tells me he could have made it better then.
Although both are great movies.
. What was the meaning of the FLESH FAIR? Seems a bit too primitive for a society intelligent enough to have the MECHAs in the first place.
------Ummmm......I'll bet that was the perception in the 30's as Germany was planning the Blitzkreig
And if , in fact, it had it's place in such a society then the idea of the crowd turning on Brendan Gleeson( throwing fruit at him of all things)simply does not hold up.
------Mobs are a fickle bunch
It seems when you bring "humanity" to the table.....we all go soft
: Are we supposed to believe an android has no self preservation skills as well?? To ignore Asimov's Rules of Robotics, after virtually every film of the last 40 years dealing with the idea of artificial lifeforms followed them closely, is inexcuseable.
----The who with the what?
: Compare if you will, DOGMA. The movie never once lost it's way and the people interacting with one another had every reason to do so. Relationships were allowed to start and evolve through the course of the film. Even moreso in CHASING AMY.
: I felt ( and saw) nothing real in David's relationship to his "mother" and as a result felt nothing when she left him in the woods.
: When HOLDEN breaks up with Alyssa I dare you to not feel SOMETHING, if only remembering a past breakup in your own life.
: When confronted with the FACE OF GOD, Bartleby breaking down in tears begging forgiveness KNOWING none would be forthcoming.
--This is all just pandering...The movies are totally different
I accuse you
Panderer
