60755, Hey, guess what? I was at the same screening. Posted by ZooTown74, Fri Nov-16-07 03:05 PM
As for the film itself, it's really, REALLY dark.
Like, "no hope for humanity at all" dark.
But I liked it, and like you, zero, it's going to take me a second to fully digest all of it
Because once you peel back the layers what you get is a father-son story
Daniel-Day Lewis did his thing, as did Paul Dano, but I was REALLY impressed with the kid who played H.W. Didn't realize this was his first role
Pretty long flick, and if you hated Magnolia, your best advised to stay away, because PTA is on that alleged "pretentious shit" again
VERY reminiscent of Kubrick (and I was just watching 2001 and Clockwork Orange the other day)
Good film, but I don't know if it tops No Country for Old Men, Ratatouille and/or Michael Clayton for me
But again, I have to digest it fully
And frankly, it's a difficult film to digest in one sitting
Also, Jonny Greenwood's score is PHENOMENAL
Ay yo, zero, was it just me, or did it seem as if Apatow was exactly the WRONG person to be leading the Q & A? While he was funny with his quips, it looked like PTA and DDL were quite annoyed with him. ______________________________________________________________________ Like I said, it's a brand new payback One ninety one Let's see who beats get jacked
