Wow you teach middle school? Seriously?
Was this question seriously asked?
I disagree. I teach middle school and have students who look more mature than she does. That and the gratuitous violence at the end definitely warranted an NC-17 rating imo. The end freakin' scarred me.
I didnt think it was all that violent, its nothing compared to lame *** horror movies like hostel and the sort ... I also thought she wasnt really 12 but was just saying that because she was retarded but what do i know .... I stand by the fact that I have seen much much much worse in R movies. The chicken scene was awkward to say the least.
In context, I felt the last minute of the movie was worse than any graphic horror movie I've seen. Just crazy. The dialogue during it made it infinitely worse for me too.
My best guess it's due to the fact the girl was supposedly only twelve years old. That was a little weird. But such an amazing flick.
Well, I finally watched Inland Empire. Surrealist film is something I've become rather interested in recently, but don't feel like I'm educated on it enough to really "critique" this movie. I'm not totally sure to what extent you even can critique surrealism on a logical level since it's not necessarily even supposed to be logically coherent. But yeah, watching this, or anything truly surreal, is quite the experience--and that's basically the whole point (I think), to create an emotional experience with some intellectual/philosophical ideas expressed in the mix, perhaps. Inland Empire in particular has more of a horror aspect to it than most, which I enjoyed, and feel is something the realm surrealism can approach in a very effective and unique way.
All I can say is that if you want to experience something you didn't even know existed, or feel like you're on drugs without actually doing them, then give something like Inland Empire a shot. But be warned. If you're not familiar with David Lynch, even the first five minutes will be the biggest WTF moment you've ever experienced in a movie.
Maybe this will help explain what I mean...
