Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Legitimate question though. A lot of this film's potential for resonance depends on some fundamental things about the person viewing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 That's right BB, apparently finding some of Nolan's handling of the idea of love cheesy and at times on the preachy side, makes us stale, emotionless and incapable of having feelings for others. We must be despicable people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Have you guys who complain about "love is the key to everything" solutions in movies ever been in love? Like, real, deep love?I feel like being a parent would make it even more meaningful. I mean, that's how the whole film started. Before any of the actual science and space stuff got incorporated, it began with tackling the relationship a father has with his children.

A24 4,338 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 THE TERMINAL (2004)Most people regard this as a Spielberg fluff film. If you take out the Diego Luna/Zoe Saldana love story, which is totally ridiculous and underdeveloped, then this film is brilliant, in my opinion. There's plenty of great humor (Tom Hanks' mispronounciation of words in a thick European accent) and I think the drama between Viktor and Amelia is romantic and incredibly realistic. The best aspect of the film is the main character NOT getting the girl, especially with two A-list actors in these roles. It worked well, and isn't something you'd expect to find in a feel-good Spielberg film. I also think the film says a lot about US immigration policy and how we treat people from other countries, which makes it relevant today, more than when it was produced (2-3 years after 9/11). Furthermore, there is the great cinematography by Kaminski and a terrific score by John Williams.Only liked it when I was sick with fever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff.What did you think of JNH's score?It was interesting actually! Effective stuff, and I liked bits of it. But it was kind of all over the place. Wish there was more of a unified sound to it. Sometimes we got some funky percussion, other times screeching guitars, and then normal conservative string ostinati, like what you'd in a normal drama. It's like the score didn't know what it wanted to be.But other than that, not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
