Finally saw The Lighthouse yesterday...
It was a really strange movie, but at the end i asked my friend what the movie was about. He said that the movie is what you interpret it as. So here's my interpretation of the movie.Defoes character is Davey Jones, who brings sinners to the island where he tortures them and gets them to admit their sin. Pattisons character is a murderer who took the name of the man he murdered and eventually found his way out towards the lighthouse. The movie starts innocently enough, but over the course of it, slowly causes Pattinson to descend into madness. The things he sees are all real, the mermaid/siren, the tentacles, Davey Jones himself, all real. The reason why Defoes character guarded the lighthouse so jealously was because that was his locker, where he kept all the souls of the damned. Eventually, Pattinson descends into madness so severely that he ends up giving his soul to Davey willingly at the end by simply stepping into the lighthouse when he finally opens up. The end scene is what he is doomed to repeat in the locker for all eternity; to be eaten alive by that which he hates, seagulls.I had fun with this, never posted here before, usually just lurk, but wanted to share with you guys! Sorry if this has already been said before. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/399WHig
Saw Cats (2019) at a midnight screening last night - will absolutely be the next Rocky Horror / The Room
Completely sold out, tons of people in costumes, and the crowd was PUMPED. Classic yelling jokes at the screen, laughing at serious moments, and confused people audibly saying "Oh my god, what the fuck..."I figured most of these people could have only seen the movie once or twice based on it's short release, but the excitement was still electric. It has all of the ingredients for a cult classic "goodbad movie" because of how timelessly strange the CGI and visuals are and the songs that I imagine everyone will soon memorize (which were actually pretty good and kept the pacing up).Not sure how widespread the midnight screenings are becoming, but I've seen most cult movies at these and this was as bonkers as The Room and Rocky Horror (albeit, more disorganized crowd participation). I think this is going to go down as one of the classics. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/38be94H
Michael Keaton appeared as Ray Nicolette in "Jackie Brown" and "Out Of Sight," despite both movies being produced by different studios. Who is a character you would love to see transcend studio boundaries in order to appear in multiple movies?
The movies would have to be in the same "universe," per se - for example, "Jackie Brown" and "Out Of Sight" are both Elmore Leonard adaptations so it makes sense for Ray Nicolette to appear in both. It wouldn't make sense for Jack Sparrow to appear in a Fast and Furious movie (although it would be hilariously strange to see them try). via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2TuW1NC
I watched some of your suggestions and came back to report with my impressions
19 days ago I started a thread asking for movies similar to Knives Out and Murder on the Orient Express and you guys were great to provide me with a lot of suggestions.https://ift.tt/2uCnjt0 couldn't possibly watch all of them, but I watched a few and I came back to report my thoughts on what I watched.Clue - This is the first one I watched and it was amazing. Such a fantastic cast and I loved that it had different endings. I liked the first one the best, with the third one being a close second.Sleuth - This was a cat and mouse kind of movie. I can't believe they were able to make a movie with only two actors in a house, but it worked out perfectly.The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - I only started watching this because of Craig, but Rooney Mara was the big surprise for me. This is absolutely her movie and what a nice surprise overall. It keeps the tension high till the end.Death on the Nile - Can I say I absolutely loved this? The plot, the cast, the setting, it was all fantastic. I loved the actor who played detective Poirot.Murder on the Orient Express - After watching Death on the Nile, I went back and watched the old Orient Express movie, and I was so disappointed that the actor who played Poirot in Death on the Nile wasn't in this one. Because of this and because I already knew the plot, I didn't enjoy this as much.Murder by Death - This was a spoof of old detective movies. I liked it overall, but it was a bit confusing and the ending was ambiguous.I also want to watch Deathtrap, but unfortunately I can't find it anywhere. Thank you once again for all the amazing suggestions. I had a blast. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2PAqkSa
Where is Guns Akimbo?
Supposedly it released "today" in the US, though there appears to be no information online anywhere about where. I couldn't find anything. Saban films, the production company, does not even list it on their website. What gives? Does this maybe have something to do with the recent Twitter controversy with the director? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2T8rSEQ
Anyone else love the movie 1408?
I remember watching 1408 a couple years ago and have since watched it several more times. Every time I watch it, I enjoy it just a little bit more and it’s become one of my favorite films of all time. It’s an amazing psychological thriller and just the concept alone is great to me; an atheistic paranormal investigator that’s endlessly tormented in a hotel room.Mike Enslin’s character arch is perfect and all the credit goes to his beautiful portrayal by John Cusack. He just plays the “spiral into insanity” cliche so well and it helps create the spectacular tension felt throughout the whole movie.Also, the false ending here is predictable, yet stunning. The re-immersion just fills the viewer with a sense of dread as you connect with Mike. This all leads into the ending which left me stunned to say the least.(SPOILERS) It’s important to know that 1408 has multiple endings depending on which version you watch but I’m going to talk about the theatrical release in this post as it was the first I saw. When Mike whipped out the tape recorder and played the audio for his wife, Lily, and I heard the voice of his daughter (who died of cancer and led to the separation of Mike and Lily), I almost lost it. That was such an amazing way for Lily to find out that he wasn’t insane and everything actually happened within the room. This wasn’t an easy way to end the movie but it was pulled off so smoothly and I commend the director for that.What do you guys think of this movie? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2I7wrsK
Besides the Back to the Future movies, what are some of your favorite movies involving time travel?
I really like Looper and that time turning sequence in Prisoner of Azkaban but I'm having a hard time thinking of other movies where time travel is used. So I'm wondering what everyone's favorite movies involving time travel are that aren't Back to the Future 1-3.I'd like to watch more movies that involve time travel but I can't think of many more. Also I have to fill this up to 300 words so it can actually be posted even though it's just a simple question that I wanted to ask. So hopefully the rest of this sentence can help drag out the minimum required amount of words so the post can be submitted. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2Vu0W3Y
What’s the best unused concept art/costume/design from a film?
For me it would probably be the original green goblin mask from Spider-Man (2002).https://youtu.be/W8PVMT2AmWEI get it was probably too scary for kids at the time, but that would’ve been so cool to see on the big screen. The way it turned out was fine though.This topics probably gonna only apply to comic book and fantasy films. I just love to see unused content and picture how I it would’ve changed the movie via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3a69wtY
I miss Every Frame a Painting. A YouTube channel that helped me further my love for film.
It was digestible, it was to the point and it was presented on topics that I wouldnt expect to be covered. Sure we have Nerdwriter and Lessons from the Screenplay, but I feel like they tackle only a portion of what Every Frame did. Does anybody have any other suggestions on what I could watch to better depth on what film today offers? And before I get attacked I enjoy the others mentioned, but there was something special about Every Frame. Do you know why the channel stopped? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2Ia6Gbb
Bong Joon-Ho to release ‘Parasite’ storyboards as a graphic novel
In related news, MistleFeast will soon be buying a graphic novel based on Bong Joon-Ho’s storyboards from “Parasite.” It’s 304 pages, which seems like a lot, and he did them all himself. If you’ve ever gotten to see his storyboards, they’re lovely.https://ift.tt/386hGkF via /r/movies https://ift.tt/38440GJ

Gone Girl and Psychological Disorders
I recently rewatched this movie and I realized why I liked it so much the first time. I have a major interest in "Cluster B" personality disorders (Narcissism, Borderline, and Psychopathy/Sociopathy) and the characters in this film are filled with traits from these disorders.The lead character Amy is such a good "Cluster B" that she could have been written clinically. She's the daughter of Narcissistic parents, who made her feel perpetually insecure and worthless due to writing a book about her, but making her character in the book more like the perfect daughter they wanted her to be, while making sure that they pointed out all of her faults to her and how she could never truly live up to being this character. As an adult, Amy has traits of Narcissism, Borderline, and Sociopathy and, like a lot of adult children of Narcissists, acts interpersonally in manipulative and controlling ways, possibly because these were the only ways she could get her needs met growing up, or possibly because she believes no one will stay with her otherwise.Naturally, Amy is married to Nick, who comes across as a very douchey Narcissist himself who loves the spotlight. Amy would be attracted to Nick because that's the kind of love she received from her parents growing up. Amy's former love interest Desi also has Cluster B traits. His obsessive behavior with her seems to suggest he may have Borderline Personality Disorder.What makes Amy's character so tragic is that, while she believes that her manipulate behavior is the only way to get what she wants, she is also constantly finding that her behavior backfires on her. With Desi, she ends up with a mess on her hands, and the folks she befriends at the campsite end up robbing her. Basically, whenever she tries to pull someone's strings, they either end up turning the tables on her or the whole ordeal just blows up in an unexpected way.Which sort of explains why Amy and Nick end up together again at the end I guess. Because Nick is the only one that Amy CAN effectively manipulate and control, due to the fact that she is a lot smarter than him, and due to his own Narcissistic cluelessness that makes him susceptible to someone who can fuel his pride. So after all the drama, she ends right back in the only relationship in which she feels "safe," if that makes sense, one where she is in the driver's seat with someone who doesn't actually love her but who also won't leave her, and who is just as interested as she is in presenting a "perfect couple" public face to the world around them.All in all, it's a great movie, especially when viewing the characters through a psychological lens. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2vcR9Vx
