glad you enjoyed Oldboy....did you watch the other two in the trilogy yet? Black Swan by far one of the best films for this year.....a wonderful juxtaposition of "Repulsion", ballet, early Cronnenberg body horror, and Red Shoe Diary's....not nearly as graphic as i was lead to believe which was good...the sexual tension throughout the film was handled quite well much like in "Belle de Jour"...if Potman does not get some major recognition for this the world is going to hell in a hand basket....just the scene where she calls her mom about the part while in the bathroom stall.....should win her every award on earth for achievement in acting....it had me in tears and now for something completely different..... Get Him To The Greek i love "Forgetting Sarah Marshal" and especial Brand's rock star character....so i went into this with high hopes of a lude, dumb laugh out loud comedy....and that is exactly what i got |

The fountain i couldn't even get into it was so up to interpretation. Black Swan was also pretty loose. My films of the year in order: Inception Black Swan Toy Story 3. What are others? |

I haven't seen The Fountain, so I can't comment on that, but I'll probably see it soon. Actually I've only seen Requiem and Pi, so my impression of Aronofsky as literal comes from these two. It didn't bother me in Requiem, I thought that was pretty effective for showing the horrors of drug addiction. But, here, in Pi everything felt so transparent and fake, the way these big philosophical themes were handled, the decent into madness. So it's quite possible to take such a broad subject that just gives itself for many interpretations and turn it into something very transparent and literal by the way it's handled. I am now very curious to see how he does it in The Fountain. After all, Pi was his first film and it very much feels like a student film lacking in experience on every level.
