I wish I could join this debate but I've been avoiding hollywood's mainstream as much as I can thus hateful eight and inglorious bastards are still waiting (could do them in next few days though, the heat is making me not in the mood for games).
Should I? I have so many other titles to watch, each more crazy and exotic than another.
Lemme put up two examples from last week.
Gozu is one of the craziest movies I've seen in my life, impossible to describe in a few sentences. Truth to be told, I can't describe it in any number of sentences, all I can say is that I can't believe the seriousness of every actor in it. Another thing I cannot pinpoint is it's genre, has everything possible in it and more. A genre of it's own perhaps? Numerous surreal and insane scenes weren't enough, it also contains the anti ME3 ending. While ME3 tried to copypaste Evangelion but ended as an overlong phylosophical bullshit with choose a number you'll fail for sure TV Hugo game idiocy, Gozu cuts it short in a way "did you like what you saw? yes? well fuck you."
A masterpiece for 18+ you need to watch before dying.
Woman at War is not an adventure nor comedy. As usual, imdb adds genres randomly and incorrectly. It's a
not boring drama about an eco activist who forgot she applied for child adopting 4 years back and now she has to choose between sabotaging ecology threatening big companies backed by currupt politicians or forgetting it all to become a mother.
The scenery is absolutely amazing, I've never had an idea Iceland looks so beautiful. Chased by helicopter scenes are top notch art, characters are awsome (example: a helper who doesn't care about any of eco bullshit, but well, she might be his cousin so he helps).
And finally, this is a first time I'm seeing music used in the movie performed on screen with active participants. An instrumental trio appears out of nowhere when needed, the same goes for ukrainean vocal trio (sound similar to famous Trio Bulgarka, maybe they're called trio ukrainka? Or it's just a pop reference, dunno). Not only they play/sing some music but also add to the story, turn off tv via remote for example. I loved this uniqueness, some might not.
This movie is not for everyone. Skip if you suck at singing (MC leads a choir) and if you can't believe a movie can be good - without explosions.
Watch definetly if you want to taste something exotic.
