why should I watch this?


Can anyone convince me to watch this. I keep putting it off

reply

I did too - common (for me) with a lot of films.

A while back, I started giving stuff like this twenty minutes or so to convince me to watch the whole thing. If I'm not intrigued enough by that point, then I probably won't like the rest and I haven't wasted much time.

I gave this one twenty minutes and ended up being mesmerized by the photography and style of the film, if not necessarily its message, which might require a couple viewings to really digest. It's certainly NOT the "ecofeminist utopian fiction" as some have described the novel, at least IMHO.

Caution: there is a somewhat gruesome hunting scene that you may want to FF through if you're particularly sensitive to that sort of thing. You'll know it when it comes.

you shouldn't. It's a waste of time. Sleeping is more productive, as the brain can learn something. This movie has nothing to offer but a few nice shots of the countryside - if it wasn't for this annoying dog running around.

There are plenty of other threads that sum up the plot elements of this movie such as isolation, survival, bond between animals and humans. The movie is slower paced than average American cinema so if this is what your use to, putting it off for a time where your in the mood for something slower paced might add to the appreciation you might garner for this film. With that said, the pace isn't nearly as slow as some of the films I have a tolerance for. I think the film has superb narration which really moves it along.

Why should you need anybody convincing you to watch or not any movie ?
Follow your own instinct and tastes, that's by far, for me, the best way to choice any movie.

But since you asked, I really loved this film for its deep and powerful metaphoric message and philosophy.
