Funny Games

YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST WATCH THIS TRAILER! (NOT REALLY)

In response to Jared about how Humbert Humbert comes alive in our minds, telling us that we decide whether or not this story of Dolores Haze and Humbert Humbert, that really is so much more, survives! The Character's realization that he is alive! OR dead. Or just stuck in pages. Dead thoughts, like dead pictures.



But the thing about Funny Games, and it is quite a funny movie once you get past your more partial feelings, is that it wants you to play as well, and you certainly do too! Whether or not you want to, this movie makes your play just like it makes the The Indian, The Captains Wife, and Him play too! It sickening and twisting. It's slow to the point that you can see all those things that special effects have blown away, it's more a play than a film.



SPOILER: I have yet to watch this move with people that have understood anything about it. No amount of rewinding makes them happy (no matter who's doing it), no amount of character involvement makes them feel involved, and everyone seems to think that foreshadowing correlates to the same old reward. This is not your average film. If you're the type of person that can't sit still and listen during a movie, this is not for you.

Jared Especially, If you truly loved what you read, you will love this movie.

Sexson, This is your High Brow to Stranger than Fiction.
