best movie i’ve seen in months. so great. such great cinematography, acting, writing, everything. really beautiful. it takes all the good ideas from the butterfly effect and the time travelers wife without any of the bad. the whole time i was thinking about how it compares to the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum physics.
a really superb movie. the only complaint i have is that it’s a bit too dense for my tastes. i like movies to be a bit more airy and minimal. this was amazing though, regardless. thanks.
Gah atm not likely but I probably should, why don’t you try a torrent site? That said the quality on the original isn’t that much better than the youtube. It’s not the graphics that count it’s the writing.
Small budget mate, 41 international awards though, take a chance.
I don’t know… It might sound silly, but I want to make my first bunch of shorts without watching anybody else’s, that way I can build on a more original base. I will study them closely at some point, but first I want to make my debut.
really good ideas in this one, i thought the filming was really great as well. i thought the acting and just the general execution of the film were a bit on the sloppy side. It was one of those movies where there’s just not enough time to become really empathetic with the characters, ya know?
it reminds me of that thread that’s active about if computers can think. I personally think that a sufficiently complex (among other criteria) AI could be considered intelligent and thinking, and the writers of this movie seem to agree.
also, the simulation-within-simulation idea reminded me of this funny meme: I used to play this game called Minecraft a few years ago. One of the most interesting aspects of Minecraft is that there’s electricity – you can make circuits that turn it on and off, and so there’s a big portion of the community dedicated to building logic gates (I know the basic ones), and even simple computers within Minecraft. When someone makes a particularly large computer within the game, the joke is to ask, “Can it run Minecraft?” Minecraft within Minecraft. Pretty cool idea.
Just watched A Dangerous Method http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1571222/
Pretty damn good.
Specially interesting to a psychology undergraduate like myself.
Yeah. That director is usuallya rtsier, and some of his artsyness, or a lot of it, does come through, but he sticks pretty closely to the samurai maxim: “get shit done with as little movement as possible.”
