terribe!


This was the worst movie I ever saw. I'm glad it was free via On Demand. It didn't have an ending!! They never said anything about the disappearance of her dog! They just showed it on some poster. What happened to it????

I have to disagree, this was a quite enjoyable change-of-pace from the usual cliched genre of alternative reality/cybernetic/pseudo-gnostic whatevers.... the visual look was genuinely integrated with the material and the coolness of the acting style made sense, comsidering it's a film about cyber-addicted, emotionally stunted people. The scene with the man eating in the cafe was rather good too, a neat way of breaking though the film's iciness for a brief moment. Oddly enough, it somehow reminded me of that very good New zealand film, "the Quiet earth"... the same refusal to adhere to a mindlessly linear plot and instead challenge the audience by NOT insulting their intelligence or aesthetics

lot of words, huh?

Agreed, cyberpunk and questioning reality don't always mean you are supposed to wear sunglasses and leather pants.

You didn't really answer the question. What happened to the dog?

reply

There is no sp .. er, dog. Simple as that.

The eating in the cafe falls into the films theme of showing how mundane, pathetic and "blah" the "real" world is. Which is why early in the film there is so much of Ash just traveling, cooking etc., doing the daily routine. In contrast, there are the "virtual" world(s) where everything is more exciting and vibrant. The Virtual worlds represent Human Kind's need to live a joyous life that is shut off from the worries of their own existence. Humans trying to find a form of escapism to detract themselves from their own thoughts. Attempting to ingore the "voices" in their head that bring nothing but fear and worry. This escapism comes in many forms... video games, the opera, movies, whatever a person chooses. Such is life

Terrible movie-8/10

reply

I love this movie. I taped it on VHS, the tape wore out, I got a DVD, but it's DUBBED!!! OMG it's so Fking Horrible, I can't watch it, some silly wench waffling drivel, she never Shuts Up! If I can ever find a subtitled version I'll watch it often, and keep an eye on the dog, I thought he was left back in her flat in the Real World.

(edited months later)
She shuts up after 15 mins, so it's Ok, even though the subtitled version is way better.
I just keep the volume low until the main theme starts.
I must mention the score, it is Beautiful..Captivating
I think this is the lowest rated film I've given a 9/10, my favourite Oshii..
I recommend this to Everybody who likes to be immersed in a film.

Maybe the dog is a part of the program...
I see he makes a return in Ghost in the Shell 2.

His name's Lebowski ?! That's YOUR name Dude!

Hey, Soldier. Do you know who's in command here?

trolls, all of you. this movie was good. it wasn't meant to be compared to the matrix, but i guess that was inevitable.

reply

You could at least reply to the OP not me, yes I am a troll but I love this movie.

"This was the worst movie I ever saw."

I think it's better to read such nonsense than being blind...

The truth is the truth hurts
Don't you agree?

I suppose one shouldn't really bother addressing this sort of vapid commentary, especially given the user's egregious use of the past simple instead of the present perfect as early as his/her first sentence... ;) However, I cannot resist asking you the following question:
If you thought the movie was so utterly horrid, why on earth would you insist on watching this supposed abomination until its "NONend"? I cannot imagine that you suffered through the superior aesthetics and the (I'm guessing fairly challenging for you) French post-modernist interpretation of reality simply because you are a canine lover? I applaud your exceptional resilience! Cheers!
P.S. Do try to refrain from procreating.

Let's not pour water on a drowning man mate, the OP's nickname is Degrassifan, (s)he is a crazy fan of Sabrina teenage witch and Degrassi next generation which (s)he calls "best show ever". I've had the misfortune of seeing a couple episodes of each shows on TV so I know the very low level we're dealing with here...

There is no time to waste with such people, their silly threads about good artistic films should be left empty by everyone with half a brain. Trying to reason with them would be like the famous saying "trying to play chess with a pigeon": wouldn't matter if you were a chess master, the pigeon would just knock over the pieces, poop on the board and strut around victoriously...

Was there ever a dog?.. its for you to decide. Did you notice she fed the dog so well, and yet never seems to eat herself.
