I actually saw that one and it really is great!! :cheesy: :biggrin:

[Anonymous]

Black Hawk Down is a terrible film and you know it.

Ive only ever seen clips of the 'other' film, they got to the foam stage.


Not that i watch porn and certainly not gay porn.

[Urban Rubble]

What's terrible about Black Hawk Down ?

By the way, I've debated about his film a few times on here, I just want to hear what you have to say about it.

[Anonymous]

I think the characterisations are awful, you feel no sense of identity with the characters, they are 1 dimensional and half the time you find it hard to recognise them.

The direction is confusing with little to distinguish the scenes and finally i think gore and gunfire is over used to cover up failings in the action.


But i did like the soundtrack.

[Urban Rubble]

Oh, O.K, I'll agree with you on that one. I thought you were going to come with the "It's American propaganda" arguement, which it isn't. They actually portrayed what happened pretty good I thought.

The charechters are one dimensional because there isn't alot of story in the movie other than guns blazing bombs exploding action. It isn't a war movie like say Platoon where there is more to it that the fighting, BHD was all about the actual gun battles.

I don't know, I just like war movies, they're exciting. Movies about Vietnam make me physically angry sometimes, I always wish I would've been there in the U.S army so I could just snap and take out my whole batallion, then surrender to the VC at which point they would make me commandante for taking out a whole U.S collum.

Yep, that's what I'd have done.

[Anonymous]

I thought the film was pretty fair from the propaganda department but its is just a bad film. The action is not presented well enough to let you keep an interest and you dont really care what happens to any of the characters (if you can recognise them). If its meant to be an accurate representation it lasts far too long, for a film to be effective it has to be snappy.

Hate to break it to you but the VC would have killed you, probably before you got a chance to speak, i doubt you would have been made commandante. And if you had been in the US army i seriously doubt you would have turned on your comrades, turned on men who may have been drafted, who you rely on, who you live with, who are your only companions.

not as a dissmisal to the points you made, but what exactly are you talking about?

(Edited by Victorcommie at 5:45 pm on June 9, 2003)

[Urban Rubble]

I know, I was totally joking. But the minute I saw someone killing or raping civilains I would have shot him in the face, then I would have been shot next. I was totally joking about trying to join the VC though.

About the movie, I liked it, no big deal. There are things called opinions, just because you think the movie sucked didn't mean it sucked. It presented the story pretty much like it happened. The reason there wasn't alot of charecter development is because there wasn't some guy they could exagerrate a bunch of hero stories for. I thought the action was just fine. You say it lasts too long ? What else did you want them to show ? Soldiers shooting hoops back at the base ? The movie is about one day, that day was a full day of fighting, those soldiers were there all night.

[Urban Rubble]

LOIC, nice call, I forgot the Big Lebowski.

[Anonymous]

I feel that if they were trying to create a good movie from the film ,something which would appeal theye would have had to develop the characters, develop the tension scenes.

If they were trying to present a movei which tried to simulate the dynamicism of a city battle the silm should have been made shorter. Perhaps creating more impact.

As it is Black Hawk Down is repetitive and loses whatever it is trying to do.

I don't know Pete, it seems like this should be in Chit Char. If I'm looking for a movie thread I usually go there.

Anyway, La Rainbeaux, could you give me some info on Buena Vista Social Club ? I was going to buy the DVD because they had it for sale at BlockBuster for cheap, I just wanted to know a little about it.

FunkyMonk, maybe be film critic standards the movie sucked, maybe you didn't like it, but for some reason I did. Maybe I'm stupid, maybe I don't know good films, but I liked it. I'm even going to buy the new 3 disc DVD, it's got commentary from the soldiers that were there, I though that'd be interesting. Agree to disagree ?

I have to get down to some Drama revision anyway, god damn AS-levels

[truthaddict11]

Urban, I am Cuba is a 1964 Russian/Cuban film filmed in Cuba directed by Mihail Kalatozov, it is about pre-Castro Cuba under the control of Bastista. It is really about 5 different stories of people in Cuba and thier struggles, A sugarcane farmer whose farm is sold to United Fruit against his will, a man whose family was bombed and then he joins the revolution, and studentr activists. Its very good and it used in the first yearr of many film schools, scenes from this movie can be seen in future films too,

[Urban Rubble]

So is there a version available with subtitles in English ?

Im a big John Hughes fan. I think that he knows how to truly catch the essence of teenage life (for most of us)- he knows how to capture the feelings, the silliness, school, etc. Anyone could identify with any of the characters in the movie. For me 16 candles and pretty in pink are just amazing films- i think some people underestimate them as just another 80's teen movie. I actually wrote a thesis paper on Pretty in Pink for my communications class titled Womyn and Film. I could go on all day about John Hughes.

[suffianr]

Jumping on the back of the discussion on Black Hawk Down, well, I'd say that it was quite engaging, as a run-of-the-mill war movie.

My only misgiving is that those nice chaps in the APCs who rescued the Rangers were in fact Malaysians, not Pakistanis, or anyone else, for that matter. Malaysians. You never knew about that, did you?

Our soldiers voluntarily carried out a "hot" extraction, under heavy RPG fire and across a land-mined path.

Why weren't we credited for that rescue operation?

Since there seem to be quite a few replies, I'm sure the movies I'm going to list here have been mentioned before. Also, they may not all be good in the eyes of others or critics, but they're my favorites.

Braveheart
Pulp Fiction
The Boondock Saints
Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels

Get Carter (the orginal with Michael Caine, the remake with Slyvester Stallone sucks)
Snatch
Shopping
Ronin

I saw Bullitt with Steve Mcqueen the other day, it was pretty cool. His role is a little dry, not showing a lot of emotion, but the awesome chase scene made up for it.

[truthaddict11]

that chase scene was awesome i will have to rent Bullit soon to see it because its been so long.

[DrunkenGI]

That was a great chase seen. Probably the best of all time. Have any of you guys seen the bobby deniro movie ronin? that had a great car chase in it too.

I saw Wag the Dog recently for the first time... great movie.

I also saw They Live! last night on AMC... I had not seen it in a while... They had a great bit of dialogue early in the movie about executives getting bonuses while they ship the blue-collar workers' jobs overseas.

[Rastafari]

Queen of the Damned(all the details about vampires is correct in that movie, very rare)

Heres my question: "Correct"?
What do you mean, "Correct"?

Vampires aren't real. They are mythical beings.

Yeah...

There must be thousands of different stories about vampires... their attributes are never consistent myth to myth. I actually dislike Anne Rice's vampire universe. Joss Whedon's universe (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) is much better--makes for better fight scenes there since sunlight is not the only way to kill a vamp...

[Alejandro C]

Wes Anderson's movies- bottlerocket, rushmore, and the royal tenembaums

Darren Aronofsky's movies- Pi, requiem for a dream

also- Fear and Loathing, snatch, lockstock, last of the mohicans, and a movie called Fresh.

Something About Mary sucked ass, by the way... I think.

[Rastafari]

that list sucked ass.
Something About Mary rocked. "I Said she was a butt plug"
Genius.
Anyway, some of those older movies (with the exception of THe Great Dictator and the Marx bros. movies) really aren't that funny and I think they were put on there just because.

Fargo is not funny. THe Big Lebowski is funny.
Did I see any Kevin Smith film therein?

No.
