For those who like to fall asleep in front of a movie, do not choose those. They ask you to follow and cogitate then it will not stick.
It’s true that it’s cool to fall asleep tranquillou, rocked by the distant lyrics of an unimportant movie. And precisely, must choose! Because if you put one of the movies cited below, you get yourself. Voluntarily complicated, they demand concentration and reflection.
Inception
You go and come between dreams, reality, different levels, the laws of physics do not exist any more … If you’re not well film, you apple and after that it has no more interest to look at it . The film is built expressly so that you reflect at the same time. Otherwise you end up like math in high school, dropped by a force …
2001 the odyssey of space
Already, the film is long. Then it is slow. But then slow as rarely seen. Leeeeeeent! In short, if you comate when you launch the film, you will fall asleep direct. And if you cling to it by opening one eye, once the right, once the left, and reaching the end, bah we will still have to try to understand the end . At least, to interpret it! Because this is the kind of “open” conclusion where you have to make your own idea.
Eraserhead
A chelou guy, constant music, a woman a little disgusting, sex scenes, alien sperm, dead bodies … David Lynch was already disturbing in 1977 . We love him for that, it’s true. You just have to remember that before pressing the play button.
Memento
Oh surprise, another Nolan movie! Still playing with our brain, the director goes here by the montage to push us to follow. Because in addition to the search for the killer of Leonard’s wife, we have the unpleasant impression that all the film’s plans are not in the logical order , to make comings and goings in history. And that’s the case ! We let you guess the trick if not it breaks all the interest.
Consistency
When it begins, you think of typing a boring movie, already seen a hundred times, and you are preparing to type your little one. Then a comet approaches the Earth … but avoids it. Pity. Except that another thing happens: the people of the evening banter dinner with friends will search a booth supposed to have powers, lower down the street . And boom, they fall on their doubles. And it’s gone: who’s who? Who is really at the table? If it’s not done on purpose, huh.
Donnie Darko
It could have been another film about the teenage and dramatic delusions of a young man. But it goes much further. You see a rabbit, you travel in time, you reflect on the meaning of life (or its lack of meaning, precisely) … Really interesting and a movie become cult after a not so successful out. In part because everyone did not freeze and rejected the work a little. A director’s cut came out in 2004, with explanations from director Richard Kelly. Is there any among you who had made the mistake of watching one of these films at 11 pm or not very lucid?

The movies you have to watch at least twice to capture everything in history

sivertime — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 18:03:54 +0000

Be nice, rewind.
If there are many (too many) movies that do not even deserve to be watched once, next to it, you have some nuggets that force you to violate the replay button for a second (or even several) sessions Of viewing . Not that you are taken for a stupid one who did not understand at first, but the very nature of the feature film, which often breaks down with a stunning final twist, forces us to reconsider things from a new point of view. view. ( Attention: immense SPOILERS have slipped into this article ).
Memento
A film that completely disconcerts you, like the hero Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce), who suffers from an amnesia causing him to tattoo on the body a whole bunch of info to find the murderer of his wife. Michael Scoffield is a little player next to this guy. But where the magic of Christopher Nolan operates, it is in the tortuous montage of the scenes, which follows a particular chronology based on flashbacks and leaks forward . Until the final climax (which actually corresponds to the middle of the story). In short, a hardcore movie to pitcher, so go and watch it. And preferably twice.
The Army of 12 Monkeys
Another story about mabouls. By 2035, the world had only a handful of survivors who had taken refuge in the earth after the spread of a deadly virus. Scientists decide to send Cole (Bruce Willis) in the past to discover the origin of this virus, which they think has been dropped by “The Army of Twelve Apes,” a mysterious group of animal defenses . There, Cole will meet Jeffrey Goines (Brad Pitt), who is initially a tart in an asylum, then a few years later, the leader of the Army of the Twelve Apes. Throughout the film, Cole will ask himself if he is not hallucinating, and if the scientists of 2035 are not the mere fruit of his imagination.
Donnie Darko
Just to understand the end of this film really ché-per, a second viewing is necessary. Donnie (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a brilliant but a little disturbed teenager, who has an imaginary friend resembling a rather creepy humanoid rabbit: Frank. The latter announces to him – one night when the teen almost clamored – that there are only 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds before the end of the world . During all this morbid countdown, Donnie will obey a lot of orders blown by Frank, with each time unsuspected chain reactions. To watch again and again !
Fight Club
Shunned for its release, “Fight Club” has become over time a classic, not least for its savage violence, its anti-consumerist replicas and mega final twist: Tyler Durden is like the spoon in Matrix , it n ‘does not exist. Cracked up by Brad Pitt (again) is only an avatar of the disturbed mind of the Narrator (Edward Norton) . An avatar that bumps hard and wants to fuck up society, because “she has too many problems . ” This good old Tyler is disturbing and prints itself in your mind in the same way as the dicks that it incruste in the movies family of the cinema where it works …
Prestige
“Each magic trick has three parts, or acts: the first is called the promise: the magician presents something ordinary to you: the second act is called the trick: the magician uses this ordinary thing to make him accomplish something But you can not bring yourself to applause, because to make something disappear is insufficient, you still have to get it back, so you seek the secret but you do not find it because, of course, you Do not look carefully. You do not really want to know … You want to be fooled . ” Dupé, it is indeed the feeling that animates us at the end of this new magic trick of Christopher Nolan, Which reveals to us the end of the rivalry between two ambitious and unscrupulous magicians during a stunning twist . A must see twice, as the number of Christian Bale in this film …
Old Boy
Removed and sequestered without reason for 15 years with a TV for only cell companion, Oh Dae-su is released one day without further explanations. In his quest for truth, he binds friendship and then love with Mi-do, a young girl who has collected him . Then he discovers the identity of his executioner: Lee Woo-jin, a former schoolmate he had caught fucking with his own sister. The rumor spread throughout the school had prompted the miss to commit suicide. Lee organized his revenge by pushing Oh Dae-su to incest and to sleep with his own daughter, who was none other than … Mi-do . In short, one of the greatest masterpieces of South Korean cinema.
Usual Suspects
The cup of coffee that breaks to the ground. Looks at the back wall. The shameful name-dropping of “Verbal” Kint. And the truth that bursts out in the face of Inspector Kujan. A cult epilogue for a thriller who built his legend around the mysterious Keyser Söze : a bloodthirsty criminal that everyone speaks but that no one has ever seen. Well, it was before they all realized (far too late) that he was a shabby, shabby little lame trick who deceived his whole world. “The most cunning blow the devil ever made was to make everyone believe that he did not exist . ”
Shutter Island
Tired or not tared? This is the only question that gnaws at us at the end of this psychological drama of Martin Scorsese with the immense DiCaprio in the lead role. The beautiful kid goes to investigate the disappearance of a patient of a haunted asylum lost in the middle of an island. In the course of his investigations, marshall Teddy Daniels is gradually losing ground, to the point of being persuaded by the hospital staff, that he is in reality one of the patients of the asylum and that this “mission” is only An invention forming part of its therapy . I confess that every time I finish this film, I end up as lost as him …
Inception
Ah bah, here’s another film that leaves me in the fog. And I’m not the only one in view of all the theories that continue to flow on the net: did this damn spinning stopped spinning or not? In other words, does the final happy ending, which sees Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio there again) find his children is an umpteenth dream or reality? “The question of whether it is a dream or not is that I get asked the most. It matters to people because it is the essence of reality. Reality account” , has recognized the Director Christopher Nolan at a lecture at Princeton University, adding, “At the end of this film, the character of Leonardo DiCaprio, Cobb, Finds himself with his children, at least in his subjective reality. He has nothing more to do (to know if he is in his real life, note) and it says something: maybe all levels of reality are valid . ” You are more advanced than before ?
The Sixth Sense
Certainly the final twist that has most marked the general public and which is the authentic in the schools of cinema. Night Shyamalan walked the length of the film with the patient psycho / patient relationship between Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) and Cole, a kid who “sees the dead” . In fact, the dead man he saw most often was none other than his stubborn psychic who still imagined himself alive, the cunt . The film “The Others” follows very closely the same frame.

These movies where you want to shake an illogical character who makes crap

sivertime — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 18:47:00 +0000

Like a friend you like and you see a bad decision, despite common sense. You shout: “No, but are you serious?”
It must have happened to you already. You look at the scene, you do not understand why the character does this, it makes you crazy . You want to tart, make him aware of his dumpling, limit you insult him. But it’s true, brothel, why does he do that?
A day in hell
In the previous opus, Crystal Trap, the story ended badly for Hans Gruber. This thief and big tart had seen his plans thwarted by an unknown cop, John McLane. And there, his brother Simon finds nothing better than to call and involve him? He said to himself, “I want to gallerate with a snake who has already force-fed my brother” … There is a moment, we must know what we want. When you first want to succeed in your plan and steal gold, you concentrate on it. To hell with pride and vengeance.
Alien
How to complicate the work of his team and jeopardize a mission of egg? Practical tip: Include someone who does not share your plan at all, lie to him, and run the risk of being expedited . That’s exactly what Burke does with Ripley. He hopes to bring back a living alien, she only wants to exterminate them. And naturally, he will get them to join him, hiding his real plan.
Inception
You know it’s a bullshit, you should not, but you do it anyway. Will know why … The madness to think that it can take another turn, the desire to believe, the desire to have desire … But a big bullshit anyway. Like Cobb who lets Mall listen to his own thoughts and perceptions, while he knows perfectly that this is the devil of his dreams . And she’s gonna blow everything up in the air. It was enough to cover her ears so that she heard nothing and could do nothing. But no, it would be too simple! Then it’s gift, and obviously after it fuck the shit by bumping Robert Fischer.
Spiderman 3
Either he is con to race, or he loves evil and manipulates people. Who ? The butler Bernard, who works for Harry Osborne. The guy knows from the beginning that Harry’s father did not die because of Spiderman but leaves him nevertheless his employer thirsty for revenge , looking for sticks to Peter Parker / Spiderman, beating and being disfigured, before Let go of the info at the end … “Your father died because of his own glider, no Spiderman” . Kind, “ah yes, by the way, I know stuff eh, and that might interest you.” Bastard, you could not tell before?
Iron Man
Pepper is worried about Obadiah Stane’s embezzlement, she has captured his dubious business and says he will eventually taint Tony Stark’s reputation sooner or later. Let us admit. Except that to be really quiet, friend Tony could also avoid walking in 4m suits and smashing everything in downtown Los Angeles. Play it low profile. But hey, I say that …
Matrix
There’s a time for everything. To eat, to sleep, to think, to act, to argue … And then, when Agent Smith tracks Trinity and Neo relentlessly, do not argue. No, I’m sorry, you do not have time to cut the fat . It’s simple, you have to pick up the phone that rings in the cabin to disappear and save yourself. And Trinity, she decides to embark on a laborious monologue, full of hesitations, silences … all that to say nothing finally and risk their lives. They’re okay. But never again. You will make confidences and statements later, thank you. What other examples do you have in mind?

Yes, talking about death can also be beautiful

sivertime — Thu, 16 Feb 2017 19:06:03 +0000

Difficult to approach a subject concerning more people, and yet it is not especially what we go to the cinema. Except for these beautiful movies.
The death of a person can be beautiful, without even having a beautiful death. The way in which the subject is treated, the story that tells it, the staging, the implications and unspoken: there are a thousand and one ways to talk about it. Similarly, it does not necessarily constitute the major part of the film in terms of image and scenes, although it may be the source of it, in the background.
First contact
Sorry, but it came out last December 7, there are prescriptions. Here, the plot obviously revolves around the arrival of extraterrestrials on the edge of our earth and the reaction that this arouses among us other humans. How to communicate, what to do, to cooperate, to attack … Against a background of diplomacy with a chin, like in real life. But how to forget the secondary plot? The story of love linking Louise Banks to Ian Donnelly , marked by the latter’s bitterness of not having been warned by his wife of the special provisions of their child’s fate … We leave the room wondering: What is the right decision? Why did she do it? Is there a choice?
There
He will have kept his promise. So child, Carl Fredricksen dreams as adventurer and shares his passion with Ellie. They plan to go to the falls of paradise in Venezuela and continue their journey together until marriage. After that is the end of the beans: they can not have children, they lack money and Ellie ends up dying, sick. Carl then lived alone, reclusive. At the beginning of the film, we see him aged, isolated in his house, asocial . Until the day Russell enters his life. Carl sees himself, finds himself in him and enjoys life again. Until realize her promise to Ellie: their house is throne on the falls of paradise.
Sixth Sense
A twist that hurts. And I’m not talking about dancing a knee. Bruce Willis interprets a psychologist, Dr. Malcolm Crowe. An intelligent but disturbed, frightened, anxious man who exchanges with a little boy named Cole. Malcolm explains unsuccessfully trying to preserve his marriage, doing everything without his wife noticing . And he confides his secret: one day, a neglected patient had come to shoot at him. Cole then reveals his own: he sees dead people and speaks to them … You understand: Malcolm realizes only at the end that he is already dead, that his wife is widowed …
Big Fish
If the form corresponds in any point to the films of Tim Burton, the background differs. Behind the dreamlike landscapes, the surprising characters and the scenes out of time, hides a touching reflection on the father-son relationship . Here a sales rep called Edward Bloom sees his end arrive, and his son Billy Crudup comes closer. The subject: reconciliation, before saying goodbye.
Inception
One of the best films in recent years. A slap. And a success as critical and commercial, logically. Behind the life of thugs that leads Dominic Cobb, “extractors” professional hired by multinationals to steal the secret information of their competitors, hides the tragic disappearance of his wife, Mal. Confused in their adventures between dream and reality, she had committed suicide . A tragic event that prompted Cobb to flee the United States (suspected of murder) and abandon his children, letting him go through an immense period of mourning, alone, to blame.
Seven lives
A touching Will Smith, in a dramatic film, far removed from his usual robotic robotic rolls of mechanics. Some have not borne the miserabilistic side of the film, or have seen a more megalo than generous side to his character, Ben Thomas. In summary, Ben killed seven people in an accident, including his wife . Depressed, unable to bear, he decided to change the lives of seven people. Before putting an end to his days. His plan is ready, he begins to apply it … and death takes on the features of a divine gesture that must not be spoiled. Which of these films touched you the most?

A Cure For Life, Inception, Shutter Island … These movies that turn us brain

sivertime — Wed, 15 Feb 2017 18:38:20 +0000

A Cure For Life, today in theaters, is the kind of film that disturb your mind. But there were many others before him and a little reminder never hurts!
There are movies like that, when you discover them in the movies, which leave us with a really strange feeling. They have a special atmosphere, they are both agonizing and fascinating, and they usually reserve us final twists that leave us on the ass for several hours. And still, for some, we still have not quite understood them. In short, the kind of movies that disturb the mind well. A Cure For Life, the new film by Gore Verbinski of which you can discover our critic , is part of it. It follows Lockhart, a young trader who finds himself trapped in a wellness center in Switzerland, which turns out to be darker and more terrifying than it looks. At melty, we saw it and as much to say that we came out really confused. As if we were emerging from a real nightmare. So, on the occasion of the release of the film in theaters today, we had the idea to remember all those films that turn our minds and leave us a little speechless when leaving the cinema, From Shutter Island to the Sixth Sense . Attention, some spoilers in perspective.
Shutter Island, by Martin Scorsese
Definitely the film that returns the most brain. Teddy Daniels, aka Leonardo DiCaprio, and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) are sent to an island in a psychiatric hospital where the most dangerous criminals are interned to investigate the disappearance of one of the patients. But in the end, big twist: Teddy is actually the 67th patient, the criminal who killed his wife after discovering that she had drowned their three children. And Chuck, his teammate, is actually his doctor, who has been following him for two years now. Unless the hospital leaders manipulate it so that it becomes their slave? To each his interpretation.
Inception, by Christopher Nolan
In the genre of film ending that perplexed , Inception is not bad either in its kind. It shows Leonardo DiCaprio putting the top on the table of his dining room, the same one that allows him to know if it is in reality. As he heads towards his children, the camera focuses on the top. It wavers but the film ends without anyone knowing. So, dream or reality? We probably never know, Christopher Nolan having always wanted to play the map of ambiguity. “It seemed to be the ideal end,” he said. Ideal for him, but that makes us all crazy.
Fight Club, by David Fincher
David Fincher + psychological thriller = your meninges will be abused. And it is the case in Fight Club and its schizophrenic side, with Brad Pitt in double personality of Edward Norton. A complex but brilliant scenario, which could be summarized by this criticism of Première in 1999: “Fight Club is an openly homo film. Fight Club is not a homo film. Fight Club is a facho film. Fight Club is a libertarian film. Fight Club ends badly. Fight Club ends well ” . Well, it’s still much more complicated in reality.
Sixth Sense, by Mr. Night Shyamalan
We felt that apart from the atmosphere of horror in which we dived with the film with all these anguishing ghosts, there was also a small feeling of uneasiness that lived us during scenes of interactions between Cole Sear, Little boy who has the power to see and speak to the dead, and the psychologist incarnated (brilliantly) by Bruce Willis. That there was something wrong. Then there, the famous twist of end that leaves on the ass: the doctor Malcolm discovers that it is actually dead for a long time. And it is clear that if we had left a few clues throughout the film, we did not suspect anything. Brilliant.
The Shining, by Stanley Kubrick
Much has been focused on the ends of films that turn our minds around, but A Cure For Life, which you can discover the trailer , is more disturbing and glaucous than it is surprising. Whether in its strange characters, or in its place, the sanatorium, a disturbing, oppressive and obscure place. As in a nightmare. A bit like The Shining , in the end, which Gore Verbinski inspired. Between the icy atmosphere of the hotel and the character of Jack Nicholson plunging into the very heart of pure madness, the anxiety rises little by little to never leave us again. And this, for several nights after having seen it. And you, what movie has you most disturbed?
