DON'T MIND ME, JUST WATCHING MOVIES

CloseSince I liked making two or three sentence reflections every time I watched a horror movie in October, I figure why not do it all year round? Here's the list of movies in my possession that I need to watch:
Solaris
Early Summer (I fucking love Ozu and Setsuko Hara)
Ikigami
Barfly
Bad Education
Elegy
Brick Lane
Zodiac
Some Asian movie with the filename "G03" that I forgot about. Maybe an early Miike or Chan-wook film?
Dark Star
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Neil Patrick Harris, my hero)
Synecdoche, New York (for the second time, as my friend tells me I have to)
Yi-Yi A One and a Two
Downfall
Sleeping Beauty
Silent Running
Heavenly Forest
Waltz with Bashir
Industrial Symphony No. 1: The Dream of the Broken Hearted
The Place Promised in Our Early Days
Dodes'ka-den (the movie that's failure made Kurosawa attempt suicide)
The Brave Little Toaster
Lilja 4-ever
The Omega Man
The Human Condition
David Lynch's Hotel Room
The Sword of Doom
The 400 Blows
Memories
Year of the Dog
Enemy of the State
Perfect Blue
I must get all these crazy Japanese movies out of the way, so Ikigami tonight.

Barfly

SILENT RUNNING IS SUCH A FUCKING INCREDIBLE MOVIE

post=105496Är den så? Jag har hört bra saker om den. Jag skulle se den men så fastnade inte undertexterna på digiboxbandningen så jag hade ingen aning om vad som hände. Borde kanske försöka igen någon gång. Fucking Åmål (av samma regissör) var väl ungefär den där filmen som kom ut när man var fjorton och som alla såg då och pratade om. Det var tider det.
Lilja 4-ever is a REALLY shitty movie. I suggest you throw it in the bin right now
Dark Star var litet av en besvikelse för mig personligen. Men det är ungefär den enda filmen jag sett på din lista... (Förutom Törnrosa förstås. Beroende på vad det är för version)
(Today is Swedish Day so I will post only in Swedish for the whole day. Sorry about the inconvenience)

Well, the whole premise of the movie depends on if you like stories about peoples lives turning out drug-addiction-prostitution-hell (this specific genre also includes Requiem for a Dream which I also really can't connect to)
I enjoyed "Tillsammans" and some small bits of "Fucking Åmål" but Lilja 4-ever is nothing more than a cheesefest for uptight moralists whose got nothing better to do than to cry at other people's misfortune.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to take Rotten Tomatoes' word for it with their 86% rating. I'll letcha know if I agree or disagree with you once I see it.
Ikigami was okay. Melodramatic for sure. It was kind of like Battle Royale meets 1984. Pretty average otherwise.
I'm feeling Silent Running tonight, because ya know tardis leads my life and all.

if you're feeling old historical epic-y at any point in the near future, i suggest Spartacus.
it's got kirk douglas and his incredibly manly chin. and sir lawrence olivier, playing a complete asshole.
i suggest double-featuring this with something of chuck heston's- something like El Cid or The Ten Commandments.

while the omega man is awesome, it's not a historical epic. if you're going to double feature spartacus with anything, it had better be a historical/religious epic.

Man how can you bash lilya? Like, um, what else did you expect from a movie geared towards sexual slavery? I thought it did a good job being really depressing but had one or two bright moments, and a well done mixed ending.

I'm sorry to say that I'm not that big on historical epics. I'll probably end up seeing it eventually buutt.
I watched Zodiac with my dad last night. It seemed more focused on the culture of 1970s San Francisco than the murders themselves, which was fine by me. Donnie Darko actually had a decent performance. Robert Downey Jr played himself fairly well, and everyone else was serviceable. It sure didn't feel like two and a half hours, so that's good. It was pretty fun to watch. Sort of a mix of genres--satire, murder mystery, psychological thriller. And it didn't feel like anything was overly dramatized from the actual events.
Silent Running tonight, I promise!
On second thought, tomorrow night. I've got too much to do tonight.

There are a lot of reasons as to why (characterization, the subject at hand portrayed, etc), but I'm going to keep it pretty simple; it is soaked in the BAD kind of swedish modern cinema (which is, naturally, most of it). Sure, I can agree on a pretty depressing atmosphere but that IS the stereotype which modern swedish movies utilize.

Silent Running was way way way sadder than I thought it to be. Still great, but, man, I was expecting something much lighter. At first I thought the movie would've been better if the red-suited crewman was the one stranded with the robots alone, but then I got to thinking that'd completely change around and simplify the moral. It was sort of tough to watch because I didn't like the main character, even if he was sorta empathetical. I liked it nonetheless. Good sci-fi.
Either Bad Education or Early Summer tonight, I haven't decided. Spanish movie about transsexuals, homosexuals, scandals, and Catholic priests, or a meditative Japanese family drama by Yasujiro Ozu and starring arguably one of the most beautiful women to have ever existed, Setsuko Hara?

I guess I can understand since you're POV is on a swedish side. What are some good swedish movies though?
sorry if i ever misled you into believing silent running is a happy movie. it's decidedly not. but as you said:
Good sci-fi.

Uuuh Lilja 4-ever and Kopps seem like very different movies.
Early Summer was typical Ozu, a story about family and marriage. In fact the plot was nearly identical to An Autumn Afternoon. I liked it, though it wasn't as good as Tokyo Story. Setsuko Hara was really freaking charming like always.
Maybe The Place Promised in Our Early Days tonight. Five Centimeters Per Second and Voices of a Distant Star left me teary-eyed, I hope this does the same. I haven't cried in forever. :(

Pussy. No but seriously I actually saw those films, they were pretty amazing. 5cm had fucking amazing backdrops, almost to the point I'd prefer them over real life.
