Is it as sadistic as people say?

Its a masterpiece. A film that literally scarred me for life Lol.
Its not sadistic sadistic. When you look at it, you wont see many graphic torture scenes in it or anything. Instead its fully aimed at your psyche and mind and therein lies its beauty imo. Its more like Kubrick's Shining. In fact these 2 films, Funny Games and Shining did manage to scare me more than any typical horror movie did, so theres that.
And if you are watching it (not recommending or anything, its one helluva ride and is definitely worth checking out but it is surely not everyone's cup of tea), strongly recommending to watch the original German version and not the English remake.

Yea I was going to watch the German version. I've seen it being discussed a lot so was interested. Might give it a watch.

if you like home invasion movies check out kubricks clock work orange.

by Glory Sat Mar 11, 2017 11:31 am

Funny games is the be all and end all of a home invasion movie. Proud

Nobody can invade a home like those folks in that movie.

You've never seen the Home Alone movies, clearly?

43% off of 7 reviews, with 3 being fresh and 4 rotten?

Malick films are generally divisive anyway.

Pretty sure I've only made comments on the cast being the most ridiculously stacked I've seen.

Manchester by the Sea scene:

People who have seen Manchester by the Sea, what was your favorite scene? I feel like this exchange is the best in the movie. Absolutely incredible

Christian Bale overrated? nah.

Malick is just a weirdo. He doesn't care about his initial script when editing. Adrien Brody thought he had the lead in Thin Red Line until the premiere, then he saw the movie and found out he was cut out.

That scene was incredible. It shook me so much.

Michelle Williams def had the most powerful supporting role of the year in this film. The definition of a supporting role. Wish she'd gotten some recognition for it.

Naomie Harris also had a very emotional scene in the end of Moonlight that broke me in a better way than this.

Manchester By The Sea was one of the most depressing movie I've ever seen. Was so dour and still had great humour. So great.

by McAgger Sun Mar 12, 2017 3:53 am

Yeah that scene broke me. Had heavy teary eyes. The acting from both of them was just too powerful. The movie captures sadness and depression better than I've ever seen on screen.

Incredibly low ratings on both RT and IMDb (just 4 people voted anyway lol). Shocked

Was actually looking forward to this.
Herzog, Shannon and Garcia Bernal. How d f can this be bad?! scratch

Posted this earlier. Ignore if you have seen.

This trailer is even better hmm

That looks really good

Of course. It's Edgar Wright. He has only made amazing movies so far.

by RealGunner Sun Mar 12, 2017 12:10 pm

Yea Just saw he is the same director as Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the dead :bow:

by El Gunner Sun Mar 12, 2017 12:36 pm

Agree with all on the Michelle Williams scene in Manchester By the Sea. Not only is it the best scene in the film itself, but one of the best in the entire year of 2016. Think I had it second in my top scenes of the year hmm

@Glory Werner Herzog is basically another Malick, in that most of his films split audiences. Looking at that trailer though, I'm not surprised that it might flop. Does not look like much is happening in that one.

Baby Driver bounce

When is its release date? hmm

11-17th of August depending on country

Looks ok, but preferred if Pegg and Frost were with him on this one, those trio just churn out gold

by RealGunner Sun Mar 12, 2017 2:07 pm

Yea hopefully they have a cameo at some point.
