Incredibly philosophical film about man's place in the universe; where he came from and how he will overcome the existential nightmare of being either alone or not alone in the universe.
Interesting way it deals with alien contact, some genuinely scary parts, great use of music (if slightly disjointed), full of subtle cues and references to Nietzsche, and Schopenhauer. One of the most intellectually satisfying films ever made.
It's not for everyone though (probably not even most science fiction film fans), and far from perfect. But I love it to bits.
Hundreds, even.
One of few Russian-Afghan War Films, and doesn't instantly stereotype the Mujaideen people as mindless terrorists. It's kind of the Generic sort of story structure as the Last Samuri or avatar, as the main character who is part of the "good" side finds himself with the guerilla fighters or whatever you want to call them.
A lot has been written about this movie, and practically everything is nothing but a load of nonsense, conceited people trying to demonstrate how clever they are by explaining countless theories about the very essence of our being and many other grandiloquent stuff that supposedly take place on the film.
The movie is simply a story. A good story. And what makes me love it is its vision of the near future, the chaotic streets of Los Angeles coloured by neon lights in a permanent rainy night. And the awesome music flows along with the scenario, quietly, dropping sounds like the rain.
It's a personal experience, I'm sucked into its dark atmosphere and I love it. Not a single film relax me like this one does, it's great for introspection.
Fantastic.
- The Shining
- A Nightmare on Elm Street
- Memento
The first two are on that list because I started watching horror movies at an early age and those were a couple of the first ones that I saw, so I think pretty highly of them. Memento is on there because of the unique way the story was presented. When I first saw it I was very impressed with the film, and even now I still think it's one of the most original ideas I've seen in a movie.
It's a dystopian vision of the future where technology is highly advanced yet flawed which gives it a highly realistic yet still fantastical feel. The soundtrack is amazing and atmospheric and the special effects still look incredible despite being painted backdrops and miniatures. Rutger Hauer is also brilliant, he has a famous monologue at the end which was all improvised i don't know how he didn't become a huge star after this movie, he is so charismatic and interesting.
It's excellent, check it out.
