Movie What's the last movie you saw? (7)

[Roobs321]

Damn guys sorry that I couldn’t sleep after watching Requiem and don’t want to watch it again I’ll stop being so edgy

probably for the best, this is the AFTER when you've watched it a couple times and developed a habit

I've never watched Snowtown, I watched the Crime Investigation Australia episode about it on tv and that was bad enough.

I had no desire to watch a two hour movie about it.

Want to see this. Do you think it would be better at cinema or in quiet, dark at home?

If you have good home set up probably fine. I think the best for this type of movie is a small cinema screen like one of the 50 seaters underground at cinema nova.

While we're young. Some genuine laugh out loud moments. Bloody cracker.

that's all well and good, but it doesn't pertain to the context of the adage described, that the rest of us have been discussing

Dont ever quote me to say I cant enter a conversation any way I choose

On the topic of good film, won't watch again:

Snowtown.

It was well made and particularly well acted by the lead. But once is enough, I think the fact it is based closely on real stuff contributes to that feeling. It makes it less an experience in enjoying art and more being a sicko voyeur in a way

I started it and barely made it 10 mins, I think the opening had some sort of real grim child abuse themes and I was like "nup, dont need".

We Ozzie's do know a bleak drama, please add Little Fish and Jindabyne to this list, two films that came out around the same time and tuned me off local cinema for years.

For context though Requiem For A Dream and even Irreversible didn't bother me as much.

Consider it the eleventh commandment

The correct response is '' yes you are right the conversation flows where it goes ''

HOW do you watch this more than once

My wife had a ticket to Wicked the musical about 10 years ago, and surprisingly enjoyed it. So when we saw the movie both thought it was very good.

I can see how people who haven't seen the musical and get the OTT nature of it might not get it/enjoy it though.

I'm glad directors/producers in Hollywood are slowly pushing back on studios to make content for fans and faithful to source material and not so much for broader audiences.

Saw it this afternoon. Loved it.

Flow - 5 minutes in...probably not for me. 15 minutes in...I am bound to this cat for life. 8/10

Vox Lux - Weird to feel hype about a movie (The Brutalist) despite not having much of a relationship with the filmmaker's work. Rectifying that somewhat by watching Corbet's treaty on fame and American psyche since Columbine. I can see the hallmarks of a director that has ambition, even if the second half of the film did not work for me at all. Strange to reconcile the first 5 minutes of this film with the last 5 minutes...but I think that's the point. Flawed, but interesting. 6.5/10
