spoiler about madeo: Which thing of the movie is not realistic in your opinion? a mother could definitely do so to help his retarded son out of jail. we should understand that she loses the sense of reality and morality.
Such as Lost highway (Lynch) or even better if are perturbing and include sexual perversion, such as:
Bitter moon (Polanski)
Eyes wide shut (Kubrick)
The piano teacher (Haneke)
Belle de jour (Buñuel)
Seul contre tous (Noe)
How come? to start, Following idea is 100% original and smart, it is not a masterpiece but its great considering the money he had and the fact that it was his first work.
By the way, how is Spielberg overrated? despite teenagers, no one considers him as a serious director and he has atleast 2 or 3 very good movies. Overrated is someone who no one criticizes or question, for ex. i have never heard or read anything bad about Bergman, and i dont think he was perfect, his movies were all in the same direction and if you dont like one you will not like the rest.
Scarface is the best movie ever about cocaine. So it should be his best movie. Carlitos pretty good. Carrie, Untouchables, Impossible mission pretty bad from what i remember.
Does someone really believe Scarface idea is to glorify and praise Montana’s character? there is no judgment in the movie, it tells facts how they are, the guy is an asshole and turns fucking nuts.
If overrated is a silly word, what about masterpiece? completely non-objective. Who has the right to say a movie is a complete masterpiece and not a decent movie?
I completely agree with La Dolce Vita and Lawrence of Arabia, both have extremely boring moments in the half of them, especially Lawrence.
Someone who says film is over, doesn’t deserve any attention. Even more if we talk about the same person who criticizes Polanski for ‘not being enough intellectual’.
If someone tells me La dolce vita is a Masterpiece and gives me details on why he thinks that way, it is better than just say an empty word and i will respect him 100 with his opinion. But it is the absolute truth? i do not think that this exists in art.
I am obviously and hypocrite, because when i finish watching a movie i love for tenth time i rise up my hand and shout WHAT A MASTERPIECE!
Kubrick doesn’t say “as much as subtle a movie is, more intelligent is”. kubrick doesn’t care about what people think about the inaccessibility or accessibility of his movies.
