What is up with all the shot people still standing up toward the ending of Blue Velvet? Is that just Lynch being Lynch?
Only thing that's ever confused me about a movie...

I'll go out on a limb here and admit that I actually like The Village. Yes, it could have been better, but I think the story line has appeal to anyone who grew up in a rural area - fear of the unknown, thinking urban areas are inherently dangerous, etc. I think we all know people who would jump for a chance at their life. A little more effort to fill in some holes and it could have been a pretty good movie. I consider it a suspense Starship Troopers - The movie stinks but, if you overlook some flaws, it's fun.
I didn't care at all for inception. It is probably one of my 2 least favorite Leo films (the other being titanic).
I think the Academy really puts too much weight on the acting and not enough on the story and visuals. The movies they pick show me they are generally weighting the acting quality as about 50%-60% of the grade. Story is maybe 30% and visuals are almost a negative. Most people like me really enjoy the story and the visuals and the acting is a distant 3rd.
Have you seen. J. Edgar ? That is the worst Leo movie I have ever seen.
I'm a sucker for The Beach though. The book was way better (predictable statement).
Agreed or they take the opportunity to make a political/social statement with their choices. Although it wasn't Best Picture, they gave the Best Actor award to Sean Penn for MILK during the Prop 8 controversy, which was total BS! Mickey Rourke deserved that award.
But their winners show there is a huge disconnect from the audience. I refuse to believe Birdman was the best film of last year or Slumdog Millionaire was the best in 2008 or The King's Speech in 2010. No one will remember those movies in the grand scheme.
There have been so many oscar head scratchers over the years. They keep getting easier to pick though if you do oscar pools.
And the Fighter. David O Russell's best in my opinion. My favorite Bale performance too. And he has had some great ones.
Basic(Samuel L., Travolta) always threw me for a loop.. Even after the second time I was scratching my head. Combination of a "who dunnit", with conflicting accounts of the main event, characters disguised as others, and even main characters being secretly involved. I think that movie had like 4 twists in the last 15 minutes.
Gladiator! My favorite movie ever. But one thing is confusing. After Maximus reveals himself to commodus, (sp?) he says to his sister, " they lied to me in germania, they told me he was dead" who exactly told him that? Cause didn't Maximus kill all the centurions that were there to kill him? Dunno, but things like that kill me, that situation should have been investigated when the soldiers never returned. But who knows lol
Only thing confusing about total recall.
What to do with the 3rd boob.
Left hand, mouth, right hand. Problem solved.
Christoper Nolan is a hell of a director, I saw it at over 15 years ago and I didn't care to much for it maybe because of guy pierce.
I get cloud atlas but I can see it being confusing.
Speaking of confusing movies, if you want to see the follow up to deliverance check out the movie gummo. That movie is filled with dirt merchants and has really no story line.

Lol the confusing part is who is the unemployed idiot who gave the ok to make that train wreck. The budget had to be $59.95.
Hollywood cant find anyone to write a good screenplay. when you compare movies now with Chinatown, The French Connection and even the low budget To Live and Die in LA or Manhunter it makes you think its easier to make another Superhero movie that a digital creation.
To Live and Die in LA and Manhunter were great movies. Manhunter introduced most of the public to Dr Lector before Silence of the Lambs. I thought it was much better than Red Dragon.
Another low-budget film that I think is pretty good is HOUSE OF GAMES.
Same for WIINTER’S BONE.
