Last week, I just went and saw The Boxtrolls as a nice thing to do for my birthday because I'm just a fan for animation movies especially stop-motion.

The Vengeance Trilogy by Lord Chan-Woo Park.

I love those movies, especially Oldboy and Lady Vengeance.

Oh my god. From what I heard from the film nerds on this site, I figured I would like this movie, but not love it because so much of it went over my head. This **** was like three hours or something and I wasn't bored once. Right when the first third of the movie was over, and that first big twist happened, and the movie just turned, I thought it was over. So the rest of it almost felt like bonus movie. I never knew when it was going to end, what was going to happen, or even what the **** kind of movie I was watching. Best movie I've seen in a long time. I've probably got nothing better to add than the other people who've already gone on at length about it, so I'll just say that...

Gone Baby Gone Girl.

EDIT: You bastard, now nobody gets my joke.

If I hadn't gone back to look for a pic, I never would have noticed. :p:

this movie is in my top ten of all time.....i watch it monthly

and batlord there is no "possibly" in your spoiler

Gone Girl

so to start off some perceptions having read the book

you don't need to read the book if you saw the movie....the only real and major difference is the end and really it's not different....just the book gives you a lot more....which i think the author actually did on purpose....as in...if you read the book you just get a tad bit more into the minds of these two VERY sick individuals who deserve each other 100%

other than that the two things i mainly noticed was that the sister never wore a Butthole Surfers t-shirt and that the lawyers wife was not in it at all....but i will say this for the latter....although she was a character i really liked and in the book she does play a pivotal role the author simply blended her character with the lawyer himself which saved screen time....and she kept in one of my favorite scenes which involved her....so absolutely no gripes on that part

so what we have here is David Fincher doing what he does best....enthralling an audience.....i tell you what.....this is without spoilers....but the audience was getting a little restless about half way through the film....as in a little chatter, seeming louder popcorn intake and the fucking bitch next to me kept moving her straw up and down (i fucking hate that noise)....but when the revelation came at the half way mark.....you could here a pin drop in the theater....and it stayed that way all the way to the end

as always Fincher simply makes an amazing movie full of tense characters, haunting cinematography and an amazing soundtrack....and as usual his source material was already well written....he has an uncanny knack for bringing written characters to life perfectly

for me watching this movie was like re-reading the book so from that aspect perfect....i also tried hard to imagine myself as having not read the book.....and i'm positive this will be a wonderful film experience for anybody

a definite 5/5 and easily in my top ten films of the year

Was Ben Affleck's character a worse person in the book or something? Cause he was just kind of a schlub in the movie.

I'd also like to say that if Affleck is this good an actor, then I have no problem with him as Batman.

Van Warmerdam is one of my favourite directors and his latest movie didn't disappoint, in fact it might be one of his best.

As with most of his other work it's a surreal dark comedy, it might also be considered a thriller and has supernatural elements.
People who like their movies to be served with explanations and don't like ambiguity might be angered be it, but I think that even if you don't think too much about the social and philosophical implications it's an entertaining and often funny film, with lots of twists and turns.
The themes might be similar to Pasolini's Teorema or Miike's Visitor Q, but generally it's pretty original.
It's best not to know too much about the plot and just watch it and let it unfold.
