Agreed. Original end was ruled out btw.
He didn't really understand Nietzsche.
dear lord, the acting of Joaquin Phoenix here is very intriguing
I think we can all agree that this film creates an atmosphere that is absolutely haunting. But am I the only one who felt a little cheated at the end with the classical whodunnit conclusion? Maybe I just didn't realize the significance of it, but it felt too "easy" and conventional for a film this complex and psychologically deep.
I'm impressed that this film is not even trying to please its audience. It's alomst avant garde and it's even crazier than the tv show. Parts of it is incredibly funny, others are a little awkward, but in a blessed way. No mainstream aspirations, just pure creativity, wonderful!
The last frame is magical
Like a Godard film with funny people
It's a machine, but it works.
What's with the effect in the beginning of the trailer? I hate that effect.
The story was tedious, but who cares about stories, come on!
Worst film i've seen. A complete hell. If I could choose one film NOT to live in, this would be it. There are no humans in this film, it's almost freightening.
While I don't think its the worst film in existence, the issue of Nolan's characters being less than human is one we can both agree with, even more so when he is trying hard to create emotional rich characters but fails. There are plenty of shlock genre films I've seen with more 'human' character in them.
We like this film (I like this film) because laughing like a stupid monkey is the only valuable thing to do in the labyrinthic, rather smelly inside of God's dead body.
LOOK AT TIZ CAVE PAINTING. DOES IT HAVE A FAMILY? WHAT DOES IT DREAM OF AT NIGHT?
Okay this comment made me chuckle, but come on it is rather insensitive and inappropriate dont you think?
Tasteless
Malick is a neoplatonist, which is hopelessly unfashionable, and I hate him for being that.
People who don't like this film for whatever reason are bourgeois assholes. People who don't recognize the relevant analysis of our society in this film are just plain stupid.
I do totally know what you mean, but surely saying it like that isn't going to make any of them stop to consider that you might have a point :)
Am I the only one who likes the camera movements of this film much better than those of his later work? It's much more organic and imbued with life.
That's the same way I feel. It reminds me of what happened with Tarkovsky. Tarkovsky's earlier films are the ones I deeply connected with (Andrei Rublev & Solaris with the roving camera of Vadim Yusov), while his later films became more and more static.
A terrible film masked as a masterpiece.
i really have a problem with all thiings french.
so bad
i didn't particularly like this, unpassionate. i loved the novel
if they would just shut up for one damn moment.....

lol that trailer
Seth Farmer: bullshit
that version with Burroughs and jazz is the most insanely avant-garde thing i've ever seen!
Hubert, can you tell, what was it like?

a bad parody
best science fiction movie ever
Douglas Sirk must be the coolest, most awesome dane that has ever lived. And yet nobody knows he i a dane.
