wakka102 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I've never seen the movie before but it's ranked as one of the top movies of all time. What makes this movie so good and should I see it? (theres more then one right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satenza Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Theres no one great point about the movie, it's just a combination of brilliant acting, editing, direction, cinematography ect. It's a great story and a great film. You should definatley make an effort to see it. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy500fan Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 There are three of them. Number 1 and 2 are generally held in very high standing, while number 3 isn't all that much. The first two are similar, while the third one kind of goes a different way. Personally I didn't enjoy them as much as I thought I would. They were good movies, just didn't rub me the right way. Same thing with another Francis Ford Coppola movie, Apocalypse Now. It was good, just didn't seem to hit me the right way. The exception is the last movie of his I watched, The Conversation which I enjoyed more than I thought I would judging by the first part of the movie. Still don't let any of that stop you, they are all great movies, and I would recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 It's one of the few films to spawn a sequel on par or better than its original. The first 2 are fantastic, the 3rd makes me want to cut off a horses' head, but there you go. Sit tight, though. It's a long film. A looong film. Worth it, some fantastic acting, coupled by great actors (Mr Duval, take a stand) and some iconic scenes. Saying this, it only squeaks into my top 10. I think some people over hype it a bit. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam007 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Like you, I heard it was good and just rented it last week. I've been wanting to for awhile, since it's #1 on imbd. I had extremely high expectations and wasn't really overly impressed or anything. I mean it's an alright movie - I think I just set my expectations too high. I think if I saw it again I'd start to appreciate elements of it though. I had that feeling at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assassin_696 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 It's an overrated movie, but is still fantastic. It's definitely worth a watch, it has some world-class actors and great scenes.

How2PK Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 It's an overrated movie. No it's not. :P And just like nearly everybody else says: it's near perfection. Every single bit that makes a great movie is worked out in the finest detail. The first two are obviously the best, the third one isn't really good IMO, but just watch it to complete the trilogy.

Harrington Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Much to my embarrassment, I have never seen it either.... think i'll get around to it based on people's comments here though :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assassin_696 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 It's an overrated movie. No it's not. :P I know next to nothing about films compared to you, so my opinion is a very uneducated one when it comes to films, but considering there was so much hype around the film before I watched it, it didn't blow me away like I expected it to. Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing film, and would certainly be in my top ten, it just didn't appeal to me in the way that other films have.

Satenza Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I agree that people overhype it but they do it to an amount that no film ever created could live up to the expectations. I wish people didn't do that. :D With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life.

Bubsa Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Well, there is a reason why it is massively over-hyped and that's because it is a brilliant, brilliant film. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satenza Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I'll never forget Meet The Fockers for various reasons, does that make it a great movie? :lol: With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning.

Bubsa Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I'll never forget Meet The Fockers for various reasons, does that make it a great movie? :lol: A movie with great comedy scenes, yeah, I don't see why not. You know what I meant though, so stop trying to find fault in everything I, or anyone else, say all the time. It's getting very tedious. You're a walking discussion. You could argue against yourself and never reach a conclusion. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenValerie Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Great movie it's worth watching in my opinion just very long. I seen all sequels~~ a movie I won't forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apinagez Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I was watching part II yesterday and got to a conclusion at a certain point of the story: every time there are two people alone on a scene, one is very much likely to be murdered. The movies are excellent. If you think about it, so many situations in them became clicḫ̩̉̉s. I'm certainly going to watch the trilogy again in order to get every little detail in it. And this time I'm going to reserve a lot of time for it! ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
