ANYWAY!
Re-watching this in a mo. I lent it to a guy at work. I knew he wouldn't like it but he
hated it. His main reasons being 1)it didn't make sense and 2)nothing was explained at the end. Brilliant.
I tried to explain to him that films shouldn't have to have everything explained in a tidy box with a bow on it. They can leave things open and let the viewer think for themselves. He didn't buy it. He said that films have to have a story and then used a god awful metaphor "it's like having a novel and only having pictures"
<- my face right after that. That put the idea of me lending him Tarkovsky's film Mirror out! Oh and he said that nothing happened in the film. Fail.
I asked him what his fav film of all time was to which he said Shawshank Redemption. That said it all for me. Don't get me wrong it's a good film but is it THAT good? Non.
