and it could at least try to enter the top 250... Somebody convinces his friends to vote! It's a really great movie and I think it deserves a good position in the IMDB best 250. (the minumum we need is 1200)
Yeah, to us it won't make a difference but to the THOUSANDS who find and watch movies that are on lists such as imdb's top 250, it is important. More people will see it, more people will like it. It's not a matter of (silly) prestige it's a matter of the old 'to exist is to be seen'. ___________ Look upon me! I'll show you the life of the mind!
hey I agree. We know is not the imdb´s 250 top is not the ultimate truth. BUT IT DOES SIGNIFIES A FIRST APROACH FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER ON CINEMA ANDO DO NOT HAVE TOO MUCH OPTIONS. AND WETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT IT DOES SET A PARAMETER.
the fact is I am going to see the film because I found it here. (I am one of those film lovers with not much of a knowledge)
"...only votes from regular voters are considered."
That must be why it's not yet in the top 250. The people who are rating this film 8s, 9s, and 10s aren't rating enough other crap. It's a flawed system.
I´m sure poor Herzog cannot sleep because of this situation. I know of only one other thing which means less for a film than these IMDB Top 250: the Oscars.
Lovely movie. I really really liked the story. I thought it was very clever and beautiful. However, I don't think it should be on the top 250 (that list is full of bad movies such as Jaws, Toy Story and BS), and if it should, it wouldn't be any better, than it already is I must say though that the cutting of the movie is done terribly many times; let me point out some examples that come to my mind: First, in the very first scene, when the lady is washing clothes by the river, we have her on a wide shot first, and then jump to a full shot, this kinda ignores the 35 degree rule, and looks funny. Second, when Kasper is sitting, trying to think of the answer to the village problem (the logic problem) the cutting between Kasper and the other guy, leaves the lady in the middle, jumping from one side to the other. Lastly, I can think of the smart apple scene. There's some bad cutting there. Lemme know what you guys think.
hmmm, i must say i don't vote to see some film enter the top 250. I vote what i think of the movie. I'm note the kind of person who voted 20 films a 10, just because i want to change the top. i don't really care about the IMDB top 250, it's too mainstream for me. a lot of movies should be voted higher (herzog, kubrick, lynch, von trier, gilliam) and a lot of movies should be voted less (schindlers list, aliens, shawshank redemption to name a few)
i do care about personal recommendations and personal reviews. i want to know WHY someone likes or dislikes the film.
