Last movies you saw

[The Germanator]

I watched "The Fountain" by Darren Aronofsky, the film he did before The Wrestler. It's a pretty epic film, with three narratives told 1000's of years apart, though it's surprisingly still only 90 minutes long.

Anyway, visually it's brilliant and acted very well, but the story is slightly muddy. It leaves a lot up for interpretation (on purpose I think) which is fine, but never fully delivers on that and ends up being slightly confusing. Anyway, it's a a great romance and pretty sad at times. 7/10

Yes, 'The Fountain' was whack. I kinda want to watch it again because I forget what the deal was. What was with the tree of life? It put me to sleep the first time though



I just watched On Her Majesty's Secret Service

I liked the part when she dodged in on the ice rally and just totally beats to shit all the other cars, and the drivers are just like, 'meh, shit happens in a race' written on their face.
ending was bleak. I didn't mind George Lazenby as Bond.

I watched Gran Torino yesterday, and honestly thought it was one of the best character development movies I've ever seen.

His acting overshadowed everyone by far, and at times the acting by the other actors was painful if not blinding, but it was still a great movie.

I didn't like it for the typical reason of people saying "He's so fucking hardcore" blah blah, rather it shows an old man realizing his mortality and coming to terms with his life.



*spoiler*


My three favourite parts in the movie, was when he has Tao working for him, and instead of getting him to work on his house, he uses that opportunity to passively help someone else out.

The scene when they're in the barber shop and he's teaching him "How men talk" - and lastly, the ending of the movie.

I had really wanted to see this movie before it came out but I somehow forgot about it.

You reminded me of it and just watched.

Loved it. Now I have to decide what sort of tree I want to become part of when I die.

Think I shall read the graphic novel and see what it expands upon.
