what did you think about his whole monologue? I honestly forgot most of it but I agree with what he said. Like we as humans are just a small speck in the universe and yet we think everything revolves around us. He talks about the ephemeral nature of life and how people want to leave something behind so that they will be remembered, even if just by a couple of folks. |

Loved it too. Easily my favorite 2017 film so far. So beautiful, spare and enigmatic.

just saw this. While it was hard to watch during certain sequences (the non sugar no dairy vegan pie scene is one example) I did like it a lot. It certainly is not a movie for everyone and it is a hard to watch movie for people with ADHD like myself. I may have spaced out once or twice during the most "boring" scenes, may have to see it again. Yes it was Affleck under the sheet the whole time. And apparently he really enjoyed acting while covered. And the director played the other ghost. Btw I loved the interaction of the ghosts and would be interested in seeing more of it. interestingly enough WETA did the visual effects. It showed. Rooney Mara claims she doesn't remember what she wrote on that little note though! the director told her to write "something meaningful to her". I guess we will never find out. I get the intention (each member of the audience can project whatever they feel onto the little paper) but I still wish we found out. I really liked the music used in the movie. For sure want to hear more of that OST. Didn't recognize Ke$ha on screen. If you dont mind slow/silent movies where some scenes are in real time and not much happens, go for it. It did remind me of Personal Shopper. And not just because both have ghost in it. I saw it at a festival and the pie scene was where most of the walk-outs happened. It was arguably a little too long and gratuitous, but the film is not for everyone and it almost felt like that scene was a "test", like make it through this and you're with us for the entire film. I was pretty much transfixed for the whole time. Good point on Personal Shopper. I enjoyed that too, though not quite as much. |
