Indeed. The first twenty minutes is particularly moving.

the first 20 minutes is devastating. Seriously. Some of the most emo 20 minutes of a movie in years.

Is this taking ticket prices into account? Movie tickets certainly cost more these days than they did when Titanic came out in 1997, and what about the additional charge for the IMAX and 3d glasses? I'd be more interested in seeing the amount of tickets sold.

Yeah, a bit actually. I liked it a lot and it's sad that it has got such bad reviews, but it's by no means his best work in my opinion. Down By Law is one of the best movies I've ever seen, and I think both Dead Man and Stranger Than Paradise are better. But sure it's a great movie, I agree with the 8/10.

I think I gave it 3 out of 5 stars on Netflix.

[atsonicpark]

"the most experimental"?

Haaha. Somehow, I doubt that.

[krastian]

Yeah, the documentary wasn't experimental unless you consider following around a rich addict hoping he doesn't get pissed at you as "experimental."

it's not experimental at all. But it is good. It shows pretty much no insight into his music. But it's a good fly-on-the-wall view of a super-talented, hard-working drug addict who is dealing with way too much fame/money at way too young an age.

(if anybody is surprised that I'm so obsessed with him, check my Lindsay Lohan obsession and it should make some sense -- BTW she's IN this documentary for like a split second at the end! She just walks by! It's like the director called her up and was like, "look, Linds... you KNOW NR is gonna be watching this thing....")

A bit dissapointed with this one. It starts off OK but then just gets sillier and sillier. Worth seeing for the bloke selling deckchairs, though.

so awesome, isn't it?

It's rare that a movie can meet, or even exceed its hype the way this one did.

i'd have to see it again to say more, but i was blown away by the use of color. to date i've only seen breathless and alphaville. (i saw parts of weekend years ago, but didn't have a context for them.) the constant soundtrack interuptions were fascinating as well. at some point i gave up trying to listen for what was being masked out. then i found that while the airplane noise etc had originally been then center of my listening focus it eventually forced my focus to the snippets i could hear in a way i would not have listened had i been able to hear all of it. like not paying attention to one thing as a way of paying more attention to detail elsewhere...

I know. Incredible. Tense. Funny. Sad. Just a great film.

Saw Avatar in 2D and I enjoyed the story very much despite the hollywood ending that you knew was coming with Cameron. Now I can go back and see it 3d and be wowed by the graphics....
