Nate2112 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Dying to see this. I can image myself bawling in the movie theaters though. Movies like these make me extremely emotional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Excited to see this one. Linklater is a pretty great filmmaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Not out anywhere nearby yet unless I really want to take a trip to San Francisco just to see a movie... Even then I'm not so sure I'd get in. Guess I'll be seeing Lucy, Sex Tape, 22 Jump Street, or Tammy instead :eyeroll: Edited July 26, 2014 by Mr. IsNot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sawyer Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Just saw this film, wow... one of a kind... well worth seeing if for nothing else the novelity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The novelty adds nothing for me. If this had been made in a year using different actors it would have bombed, critics would have laughed at it and nobody would be talking about it after the first week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By Tor Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I watched it last week I think the films that have been in running for best films last year have been a bit average So I have trouble with the hype this film has had . ( as with Whiplash ) It`s a good film for what it is .I guess you could have done this without "real actors " and it would have been a bit more "real" the boy in the film was not and is not an actor .You can tell . What is it about ? Life . We all know about that and this is where it lets the film down .Not much happens . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Loved it. I dig Linklater's slice of life style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 The novelty adds nothing for me. If this had been made in a year using different actors it would have bombed, critics would have laughed at it and nobody would be talking about it after the first week. I watched it a few weeks ago, and while I thought it was cool, 99% of the hype is because of how it was filmed. Story-wise, I didn't find it particularly inspired. Unless the director's point was how ordinary life is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) It's slice of life. The Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midniight trilogy (so far) is much the same way (also his). Just a window, in this case, into a few hours of one day (or so). These are movies not about "stuff" but about life and relationships. The plot is how real people deal with real situations. One might call them chick flicks except that I find the dialogue and the people to be more real than the average stupid, dumb, and predictable romance comedy, so that's a bit of a slight that I resent. I look at it like this: you either get Linklater and that style appeals to you or you do not. I think he's brilliant at this style of filmmaking.

Unless the director's point was how ordinary life is. I'm pretty sure it was the point of the movie but at the same time the viewer needs someone to relate to -- they need a window into the world created by the movie usually via the protagonist. In this case I really couldn't care less about anyone in the movie past the halfway point. The protagonist was a t.w.a.t by that point. EDIT: TW-AT is censored, are you kidding me?
