Is it just me?

i dont know but i really want to watch this movie!

no its not

Twerking should be obligatory.

"I'm assuming this film is a satire about the Disney brand"
"If this film was actually good, then I could find some humor in it. But, it isn't."

So did you see it, or not? I get it if you don't like the theme/tone for which you seemingly perceive the film to be about. But judging it, saying it's not a good film...but yet not seeing it, is generally not a good take in this forum. But really, I got a good ole fashioned belly laugh when you likened Walt/Mickey as saviors. An anti-Semite and a rodent as saviors! Rich, indeed.

Firstly, you make an assumption about the film, then give a critical opinion of the film; have you seen it? Then why do you call it satire when it's a surrealist-horror? Have you not seen it? Then how can you call it good?

Secondly, you've just proven yourself to be deluded, where Christians simply believe in something. Fundamentally, at the end of the day we can never "disprove" God (something even Richard Dawkins admitted to), and yet you just admitted that the sickeningly sentimental portrayal of reality as shown by the Disney brand bears no resemblance to real life. Why would I believe in magic, when, as you put it, "we all know it doesn't"? Is Disney the beginning and the end of all symbols for family? What does "something bigger than yourself" even mean?

Also, how do you know the movie damns these things, if we have ascertained that you either haven't seen it, or entirely missed the genre it is so clearly signposted as?

There is nothing small-brained about questioning the logic of people who invest emotionally in a small, fictional mouse, the worst of capitalism, and a saccharine, patronising portrayal of the world.

Call me cynical, but I'd much rather watch something that doesn't patronise me, that treats me like an adult and that has something valid to say. This film looks like it does all those things, and I for one can't wait to see it.

My list of films I consider good; http://www.imdb.com/list/HhtSboRgtg0/

Maybe I'm missing a little battle you are having with the OP on another thread, but damn. You need to take it down a notch. Nothing this person said in their OP was offensive. I suggest you walk away, and let people say what they want, and go watch a different movie. It's more enjoyable than getting worked up over one user's postings. You don't even have to read my posting... It doesn't matter what I think, just go enjoy your life.

Back on topic though:

Walt Disney is a known bigot... sure he liked fantasy and made that his life's work, but he wasn't god, jesus, and neither is anybody else. He's just a flawed piece of life on this earth, like everybody else.

One can't make a film criticizing Disney with Disney's permission. Have you ever heard of anybody successfully making a critique on any company with their permission? That is ridiculous of you to suggest, like you have no idea how public relations work for a global corporation.

The legality of this film can be argued, and possibly is being argued, and that's kinda what makes this film special. It's very bold to make a film like this, and it raises questions of how other can do something like this and whether there is a market for it.

If the film just made a little more sense, it could have marked a new step in cinema history. Though, you're right... it's not going to end up in the top 250, and many people, like yourself probably, rated it very low just because you are oddly offended by it. I wonder if this comes from a Disney employee perspective or just from someone who really loves their Disney movie collection.

I love some Disney films too, and this film didn't make me all of sudden want to protest everything Disney. It's just a weird movie. It's not a big deal. All my aim really is on this board at the moment is to see if anybody understands the film better than I, and can explain their interpretation... then I will gladly move on. I was hoping that's what this thread was about. Oh well...

"Walking On Dangerous Ground" - sounds like an awesome Steven Seagal Film. Seagal plays Christ who beats the living piss out of movie producers who are putting together movies about the Saviour. Irony: Its like rain on your wedding day.

As our uncompromising, sleepy-eyed action hero steps into focus he murmers:"sadly, you'll find out the truth someday". The villain (some high-flying movie exec type) staggers back in dread:"Jesus no!". Seagal raises his Gloch and spills the contents into the unbeliever - "Who's fiction now ...?(add Jesus-appropriate expletive Here.

Makes way for the thrilling sequel where God matches wits against all foreign religions. Followers all over the world are forced to acknowledge the one true Lord and dispense with their flimsy beliefs. God of course will be played by Bruce Campbell in a fez. He's a little hammy but ambiguity and morbid curiosity may get bums on seats.

And you'll never learn the truth, you will just slip away.

I haven't had the developmental need or desire for an imaginary friend since I was three years old. With that being said, I don't believe in God, the family friendly facade that the Disney corporation attempts to placate the simple with, or that Mickey, Pluto, Donald Duck, or any mascot of the organization is anything but a cartoon or employee making $8 an hour walking around in a costume.

For those who have actually seen this film, you'd instantly not care this was filmed in your beloved fantasy world. Millions record video at the park every year on camcorders and cell phones. The director of this film uses the ideal family setting of the Disney parks as a stark contrast to the very adult thoughts and psychological digression of the main character. The fact he recorded video secretly was simply to keep reactions as real as possible since people do act differently when they are aware cameras are present.

The real irony of your unrest and concern that privacy was breached is ludicrous considering there are literally hundreds of security cameras in Disney parks that record everything except inside bathroom stalls. You are all being recorded without knowing it on a daily basis if you leave your house or are within the view of a webcam. So suppress your silly indignation and pointless anger.

Believe what you want about God, Walt Disney (The man or corporation), and this film. Just ensure your belief comes from fact, knowledge, public information and records, and most importantly direct interaction or exposure to the numerous things you have "opinions" about.

Opinions are NOT facts. Facts do not come from faith or your personal belief in something. Educated responses to questions are always taken more seriously than curse-filled, name calling, poorly expressed opinions.

Finally and in conclusion, watch the movie - THEN comment. You cannot have ANYTHING relevant or well articulated to say regarding a subject you have no first hand experience with. Listening to people ramble on about a topic they know nothing about should be taken as seriously as a 6 foot tall talking mouse who is best friends with a dog and a duck.

When I was a kid I lived in Anaheim and my mom worked at disneyland for a few years so we went there like a couple times a month on the weekend .. And I LOVED this movie lol. I'm not all uptight about Disney.. I don't mind if things I like are made fun of or shown to be dark and all that.. people need to be able to laugh at themselves and question things they hold dear and all that.
