People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

If you've never seen Into the Wild I strongly recommend it. It's uplifting at first (to me anyway) and then makes me a sobbing mess.
We have no great war, no great depression.
Our great war is a spiritual war.
Our great depression is our lives.

I thought Requiem was boring. What can I say? I'm jaded. Nothing affects me anymore
But I'll give Into the Wild a try

What about the whole "THE LAWD WILL PROVIDE" that ran throughout the entire piece of drivel? That ending was supposed to be a vindication of that sentiment.tattuchu wrote:Too convenient? I dunno. It still left me with the question of, well...what comes after? I mean despite the happy ending, it's still hopeless, right?Don Juan Demarco wrote:Happy? What it had was a Deus Ex Machina.
"The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement but few can argue with it."

I didn't notice that. I thought nobody had any belief in god left. Then again, maybe Robert Duvall's character said something about God?

What I didn't like about the film was, first, it was kinda boring. Nothing much really happened. Every time I thought things were getting interesting, and something cool was gonna happen...the guy and his kid just moved on
Second, the dialogue was kinda...I dunno. I coulda sorta guess what the characters were gonna say before they even said it. Third, the film on the whole seemed too lighthearted. It wasn't quite bleak enough. And finally, the kid was borderline annoying. Every time he started bawling, I thought, "Oh, Christ, here we fucking go again." And I'm a real sucker for melodrama, too. But this film left me somewhat cold. It just didn't make me care.Also, I thought Viggo Whotsizname was supposed to give this, like, powerhouse performance or something? I mean, he was okay. But just okay, I thought. And Robert Duvall...same. What was the big deal

You people all suck. You're obviously not brainy enough to see this film's sheer brilliance and true genius.

Requiem ends with girl-on-girl, double-headed-dildo action! How can that be depressing?Paco wrote:If you want something truly depressing watch 'Into the Wild' or 'Requiem for a Dream'
Two of my favourite movies.
Truthfully, I love the film - my favourite scene is mother on speed cleaning the house - fucking ace! If only they had fixed the fuck-up with the pupils it would be near perfect - heroin contracts pupils, not dilates them FFS! That repeated scene annoys me every time I see it.

It does end with ass to ass sex but it's the least joyous sex i've seen outside of a David Kronenberg movie, he makes sex look like the worst thing two people could ever do to each other.
