I Still Don't Get It.

I first saw this movie when it first came out and again last night. I still don't see what all the acclaim is about. It might have an appeal to cinematographers or pseudointellectuals but certainly not to the average movie goer. I think people say they like it because they are supposed to like it!

Whom?

Have you seen this movie ?

[–] bistritapcv (1846) 5 years ago

Me? Yeah. And then "Nine"

[–] captainbucky (15252) 5 years ago

Oh nine also

[–] bistritapcv (1846) 5 years ago

Not sure I liked "9". The local production was OK, but the authors? All they do is read a script. No real stage.

That’s true

[–] bistritapcv (1846) 5 years ago

They should combine it with Star Trek and call it (Seven of) Nine?

I think it’s a breathtaking movie - and I say this as someone who does not appreciate all of Fellini’s films. But 8 1/2 is a wonder, richly entertaining and so beautiful throughout. To me this is proof that you don’t have to understand a film to be enthralled Ng it.

Me no understand either. Me like movies with laser guns, pew-pew! Laser guns and explosions. Me like bright lights!
