- I have always loved movies, but I remember the very moment I became seriously interested in film. I was maybe a freshmen or a sophomore in high school when I saw Elia Kazan's breathtaking...
- it´s sounds dire waynex... yet i find myself compelled to see it, if for no other reason than Dr. Higgins can´t decide whether or not it´s a "good" movie or a "bad" movie.
- a tiresome movie for sure. who cares about men and guns again and again the same fixation. depp is a great filmstar impersonating a gangster. Even the other way round this is still a tiresome...
- Take your time and enjoy this wonderful moment. We all wish you and your new wife a lifetime of love and happiness and we'll all be waiting here when you get back.
- Despair not. For I shall bar his every attempt and spare no effort in saving the man I love from the evil forces set upon our destruction and that $8.50 for a movie that I would rather see!

The scene when they left the building and walked through the silent, genuflecting military was staggering - even without being at the end of such a long single shot.
So what's the topic for FT#5?
Pan's Labyrinth? An adult, gothic fairy tale with a body count to nearly match Children of Men or Casino Royale!
Is it compulsory in modern cinema to kill off as many of the cast as possible before the end of the movie?

Think we'll do some animated pics next; Flushed Away, Happy Feet?

An great tale. Two great tales, interwoven. Fairy tale with a child in it - but not childlike. Not quite what I expected.
I'd post a link to some thoughts ... but the filmtalk section isn't configured to accept URLs!
So click on my name instead.

Why? I think it's because this film left my (or rather, our) heads racing with things to talk about afterwards. From the structure of the film to the remarkable single-take shot that were perfectly integrated into the film and not distracting as set pieces, to the subtle connection between distopian sci-fi fantasy and very real present day issues. The conversation started the moment the lights came up and continued from the bar to the restaurant to the next bar. Superb film making and a really unexpected treat.
Great film, and the sex afterwards was awesome.
