One of my favorite Disney films as a kid.
Lars von Trier really likes to plunge his hand deep into your chest cavity and play with your heartstrings.
True of Dancer in the Dark.
Antichrist didnāt play with my heart strings, though, it just was gross and pissed me off with itās misogynistic overtones. I think he changed the plot and tone of that film, because someone leaked the plot and so he changed it to be as offensive as it was.
The last film I saw of his was Melancholia, which wasnāt very good.
Have not seen it yet, but I canāt imagine itās worse than Antichrist. Did I mention I really hate that movieā¦?
Am I the only one who likes to get drunk and do my own MST3K version of Schindlerās List?
Some critics say that itās not misogynistic. Some critics say that itās a beautiful film. Some say itās a sensitive portrayal of depression. But I couldnāt put my scientific mind away long enough to ignore the implausibility of the setting-- (A very large mass will crash into the earth, soon, and it will all be over.)
Darn: the coupon has already expired. Oh, well.
livestream or it didnāt happen
That movie for me was Man Bites Dog. It was apparently supposed to be wry media commentary, but itās just abysmally sadistic way beyond whatās necessary to make a point and has zero other redeeming qualities. I would honestly recommend that nobody, ever, see this movie.
I had a nightmare about Melancholia after just seeing the trailer. Soooo probably wonāt see the movie.
I was talking about Antichrist as being misogynistic. I vaguely remember the talk around Melancholia when it came out, though. Iāll get around to it one day, I guess!
Glad I never saw it thenā¦ though Iād heard good things about it.
Just what did you agree to do to get him to open the safe? (Not that Iām suggesting you should stop.)
Boing Boing Store coupons.
I liked it a lot, although itās been more than 20 years since I last saw it, I might think differently of it now.
I usually do a Rifftrax of The Unbearable Lightness of Being.
Too late.
Seriously, most films somebody hates were part of required viewing (or at least a portion for class discussion) in my Film and Media Studies courses.
Of course, MBD was part of our section on documentary.
