A Spectacular Waste of 2 hours and Change
I was attracted to this film because I was a fan of Donnie Darko, as
well as the ensemble cast that came together for this project. It is with great sadness that I must declare this one of the worst films I've ever seen. I don't usually post comments about movies that fall short of their expectations, because film is a difficult art form. However, I found myself getting angry with how complex the story was as they say genius is making the complex, simple. That being said, I will applaud the effort to make a 'modern day' revelations biblical story. However, if Seann William Scott is or messiah, then it would truly be the end of the world. This movie did not work on so many levels, so I won't go into detail, but I will say that I felt robbed of 144 minutes. Perhaps this will have a cult following like Donnie Darko, and perhaps I could appreciate this project more by looking at the graphic novel, website and other source material, but after experiencing Southland Tales the film, I feel time is too precious for that. The last thing I will comment on about this film is the wonderful.... ---Insert something appreciative about this film--. jawknee watch Children Of The Corn 666: Isaac's Return movie

The way Kelly makes this movie is so real, its really a fuck you to all those who think they know something about movies. Movies isn't about stories, its about the feeling you get from images combined with the music. That is wat film and arthouse needs to be. And Kelly, you nailed it. .

So, what did I think when I saw this movie? Well I enjoyed the visuals,
the tone, the soundtrack and the way the film was made (but couldn't understand why as I didn't really understand the movie itself). Like when I watched Magnolia I was confused and disappointed, but just like Magnolia I watched it the next time it was on T.V. with little or no expectations and better equipped to understand the story. This is not a film that can be summarized clearly in a paragraph (without begging more questions then answers). I appreciated the humor, the dialog and of course the story far more after watching it again and again and again. Its certainly not everybody's cup of tea, but some people seem to take great exception with movies that ask more of the viewer then the average popcorn flick. How anybody could give it 1 out of 10 can only be explained by their inability to grasp the concept of movies that don't have everything spelt out to the viewer. This is an arty movie, but hasn't pretended to be anything other then cryptic, I blame those who went to it without reading any sort of review. Ignorance is Bliss I suppose. Perhaps some people struggle to separate their own religious beliefs or political preferences to really just enjoy a complex modern take on age old Stories. This is'nt a popcorn flick where you will be wowed by the special effects or rolling around the aisles with laughter. I think it is so much more then that and will leave a lasting feeling of fulfillment if you allow yourself to get on board its story. I for one wished there was more movies like this around. Why did I give it 10 when it is not clearly faultless? Because if you truly allow yourself to get into the story it is so satisfying on so many different levels.. |
