What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

Well as I said it was not something to hop on the thriller train for. It has a lot of realistic touch, since I think it has been derived from a real story. It is a bit of a personal crisis and explosion of life's pressure related story. But it gives the feeling of the action of leaving your life behind to wander off into the wild in a realistic way. Not too much talk and leaving life behind topic got me I guess. I liked it very much.
 
Rented and watched interstellar last night.

I loved it in the theater and I loved it on blue ray.
Great movie imo

Ok. What about the movie did you find to be "beyond pretentious?" Give me an example. Also, what was difficult to understand? I thought the narrative was pretty clear though the meaning is left up to the viewer.

The stubbornly obtuse direction mainly. IMO you can't just throw a bunch of **** at a wall and call it art. Thats what Enemy felt like. A bunch of **** and if someone doesn't "get it" thats too bad because it's my art. Which is fine, but it doesn't mean you aren't full of it.

Not trolling here but do you know what obtuse means? Again, please give me an example in the movie that was pretentious. How was the director being "stubbornly obtuse?" I'm always willing to talk about movies with folks but you need to be more specific.

Stupid or unintelligent. The director was being stupid in being abstract just for the sake of being abstract. Did you see Prisoners? It was entertaining and I liked it but it was soooo STUPID. Looking back after some of the plot holes were childish. So basically I don't think he's as smart as he thinks he is.

I'd like to give you some exact moments from Enemy but I watched it like a year ago and have been trying to erase it from my brain ever since so I dont have any details.

I was really excited to see Enemy and thought I'd love it and I didn't. I still heart Gyllenhall though.

I recently re-watched Basquiat which I always liked if just for Jeffrey Wright's role alone...and Bowie's Warhol. I think Wright's a very underrated actor and doesn't get the dap he deserves. Anyway, after re-watching the movie, I was talking to my buddy at work and he mentioned The Radiant Child which he had seen recently on cable.

The Radiant Child is a very insightful documentary that the movie Basquiat borrowed a lot of scenes from. Seeing it made me appreciate Wright's portrayal of Basquiat even more. He knocked that role out of the park. I still can't believe Basquiat was as young as he was. ****.
