People need to accept that everyone has different opinions! Just because they see it as greatness does not mean you have to, or that you're wrong or stupid for not seeing it as so.
I suppose you have to go into it with as unbiased and objective a view as possible. Not that that is so easy given all the reviews you have read. But I loved the movie! And maybe you do, maybe you don't. Just don't jump to conclusions SO FAST like everyone else does. They see weird stuff, and instantly they think, "Oh, it's cheesy and weird. I automatically hate this movie." I think opinions ought to be formed with a little deeper consideration than most give.
I mean, everyone has their own opinion. If you take the time to try to understand it, and you still don't like it, then that is totally okay obviously. I just meant that if people don't try to at least look past the surface level of the movie, they don't have a chance of truly liking it. But hey, I give credit to anybody who sees it and makes an effort to understand it, even if you don't like it!
I was incredibly surprised by this movie, and when it finished I had no idea what the hell to think. When I took time to process it, though, I thought it was amazing! It was so different.
I HATED that people were taking the whole thing as a joke. Yes, the sex scene was "weird" but I found it more disturbing and jaw-dropping than stupid or cheesy. I mean, when you look at how depraved and twisted those people are, THAT is what is scary and horrifying.
AND the main actresses' performance was OUTSTANDING. I found myself tearing up everytime she felt those intense emotions. I empathized with her so much. I loved it. She may have been the best part of the movie. Especially the end with her crying that she saw her boyfriend burning alive, then turning to a dark smile. Just, wow.
I'm so glad you liked it. My mom's boyfriend said it was the worst movie he has ever seen. And that, combined with all the people laughing during the movie, PISSED ME OFF. But then again, I know that, 1, everyone has their own opinion, and, 2, there is so much to that movie that people probably don't understand, and, 3, many people are too immature to appreciate this movie. NOT saying that if you didn't like it that you're immature, but that if you just look on the surface and do not even bother to try to understand it, THEN that may be a sign of immaturity.
I don't usually go to the movies to numb out. I go to the movies to feel the emotions, to learn about human themes, and try to appreciate an artist's creation. I don't always like it. But I see Ari Aster's horrific and beautiful creation here. Again, just my opinion.
I agree completely. I love her performance so much. She definitely deserved an Oscar, but it says something that she was at least nominated.
I haven't seen all of her movies, unfortunately. But, Titanic is number one without a doubt, and then Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which is almost as equally as amazing. She is just so amazing I love her in all the movies I've seen of her.
Silver Linings Playbook, for sure. But she is so good in all of her movies. Especially The Hunger Games franchise. But wow was she so good in Mother! as well.
