I did see a trailer for it while waiting for It to start. I didn't know what to make of it but it gave me an unsettled feeling.

Yes, I guess I should say, for me, it gave me an indication of what was coming, what the story was going to be about. Did I know it was going to be this unusual style? No.I did see a trailer for it while waiting for It to start. I didn't know what to make of it but it gave me an unsettled feeling.
Exactly. That's exactly it. As cryptic and intricate as Mulholland Drive was, this movie is sort of in the same category. Mulholland Drive is in a class all by itself -- but both are artistic think pieces.I'm predicting this movie may be to you what 'Mulholland Drive' is to me- an enigma begging to be solved but has many interpretations?
Working in retail I know that most folks will be vocal with complaints and not say anything if they've received the best service in the world, so maybe that's what's happening with this movie? I'm sure that there's folks out there besides you that liked the movie but they just aren't being vocal about it.Wow. This movie is getting thrashed and trashed.
I guess I'm the cheese who stands alone because I just went for the ride with this thing. Just absolutely fascinated by the visuals and sound of it.
Wow. It is definitely laden with religious overtones.Well, I guess quite a few theaters in the South and Midwest aren't going show this.
If I had a dime for every time I've said that...I wish I had it in me to put on my bra and go now. It's showing in 15 mins at the theatre 2 mins from my house. But I need to be more awake. I thought it had sort of a Rosemary's Baby vibe to it. Is it horror?
And, it will be very disturbing to many for one particular scene. Read if you want, but it is a spoiler.
It was an awful scene. Brutal.That spoiler is too much for me. 10 or more years ago I'd have been there, but I just don't see the merit of scenes like that anymore, "art film" or not.
Thanks! Derisive and Perplexed are great words for it. It is strange. It is incoherent. It's just weird. But, again, I liked it.Dana Jean here's an article I thought you'd be interested in.
I'm still waiting to see if our theatres will show it. I've seen a few of Aronofsky's films before, and he isn't the sort of guy who's interested in telling stories in a conventional manner. I've seen the bad reviews and they don't really sway me much. I want to see it.
