It was not powerfully acted. It was just violent overblown aggression that is not fun to watch. No one acts like that, so it's just not even realistic really. This trash film was just propped up by the mob. Nothing more.
OP is correct, the movie is crap, and now we know the Italian Mafia propped up many of these junk films in the past.
Original poster is correct, and loepark is likely part of the mafia that props up this junk film. No one acts like Jake in real life, and so it's just another garbage film. Even if people do supposedly act like him, no one cars to see 2 hours of that stupid crap on screen. Film will rub off on you, and the characters mannerisms will as well. OP is correct, this film is total garbage, and not inspirational in any way shape or form as a character study or ANYTHING. I could remake this story to be more inspirational and a characters study in a heartbeat. Your junk film is only propped up by mob italians that control some portion of hollywood, and nothing more.
Now we know the Italian Mafia artificially prop up these sorts of movies.
Soooo much better than the new total boring bladerunner movie!! And, done on a fraction of the budget!! Welcome to a new style of Black Mirror type movies that are gonna make all the old sci-fi look like tinker toys!
Agreed! OP is probably in a competition with this movie, and decided to try and blemish it. Predictable my ASS!! This was like a Black Mirror episode on steroids, and scored 9/10 for me!
Predictable my ass!! There's no way in hell you guessed that Stem planned the whole initial murder itself. Sounds to me like you're just jealous for some reason. Go suck it ass muncher!
Tah, this movie was like a Black Mirror episode on steroids, and if ya don't like it, then go suck an egg!
Agreed. The imdb score and youtube comments on the trailer are so obviously fake now that i know this movie is 6/10 at best. Reminds me of that movie Signs. Just way to much empty dead air followed up by more extra ordinarily slow scenes. There is not a fine line between genuine art and useless filler. The movie barely made 90 minutes, so i'm guessing they fell short, and slowed these scenes down even more. Not worth watching, and i turned it off after 20 minutes. I won't be tricked into waiting around for these scenes to end, hahaha
I was thinking the same thing!!! I mean what in the hell?! It seemed really out of place. They just want to train their army of Pavlovian dogs to play the part, and act like these nazis.
Agreed! This garbage was incoherent drivel! I am halfway through with it now, and have turned it off. This is the LAST Joaquin Phoenix movie i will ever watch! All his movies are like this. Stupid filler scenes, and all action is pretty much cut out. They do these dumbass movies on a low budget. All they need is POS Joaquin, a hammer, a girl in a nighty, and an old lady. After watching the best of Alfred Hitchcock the past few weeks, and then seeing this trash, i just couldn't make it to the end.
Has it ever happened to you where you dream you woke up, and started your day only to realize your alarm clock goes off, and you're still in bed? That is an odd feeling for sure.
So, perhaps this opening scene is commentary on the notion that life is but a dream?
It would explain it perfectly that David is already dreaming a long dream of life where he could have all his future memories already embedded within his subconscious.
What's more is we could be the same way, and not even know it. Ever wonder why you dream? It's all connected. Know it in your heart, you 'are' dreaming right now! It's not fleeting like a traditional dream, but rather it's more sophisticated, enthralling, surprising, and gripping.
Have you ever done psychedelics? That is one way to realize that you are dreaming right now. You are a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy in a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream, your consciousness is infinite, and can be copied into many simulations/dreams (like in that movie 13th floor).
Modern science even now admits that it's mathematically probable that we are living in a computer simulation! Hold onto your hats Dorthy 'cause we're not in Kansas anymore! :-)
Bill Hicks said it best:
"The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it, you think it's real, cause that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round; it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud and it's fun... for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, and they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid - EVER - because... this is just a ride."
