Just got back and i loved it 10/10

Perfect film!

Love the ending

I thought it was great too. But WAY to predictable.

Well maybe i am dense but i didnt for one minute find it predictable, i thought it was a solid film shrowded in mystery.

I think the ambiguity stopped it from being predictable, lets be honest we still dont know

Spoiler

if he is sane or insane do we? was there any real evidence that suggested he was either one way or the other, i am still not 100%

 

[meth head]

Indeed. The tools at the end was my clue he was sane.....

Can you explain your thoughts here buddy as i am not sure i get what you mean by this

Not sure about

Spoiler

him being insane or sane

but I think it's one of those films that wants you to fill in the blanks, and make your own conclusion.

I think your right i think it is left actually for viewer interpretation

Well, my views have changed....but...

What I did think was he was sane all along, and when they whipped out the lobodomy(sp?) tools I figured the Doctors were lying the whole time.

But my view has changed, and he was insane, realized he would rather live in this fantasy world, and pretty much "died". He was lying at the end.

Good movie but way to predictable for me too as I guessed the ending when the number popped up. Oh well

When the number popped up?

 

[wofford29]

Bluray tomorrow! I wonder if Manji is picking this one up?

We are not so lucky here in the UK bud

We are a July release date, the reason i havent gone for the region 1 release is because i actually prefer the UK box art on the blu ray

 

[EVILFACE]

Will wait and get it off ebay for $10. Only fools pay $25 for new blu/dvds.

 

[meth head]

Beg your pardon its August the 2nd

 

[wofford29]

That sucks.

 

[meth head]

That sucks.

Usually the case buddy, we are always way behind you guys on most releases, sometimes just sometimes we get a global release but they are few and far between!

If your a huge fan of the movie like me Wofford which i think you are you should check out the graphic novel, i throughly enjoyed it

 

[MarfMaster]

Just watched this on Blu-Ray and loved it! I had avoided pretty much every trailer and all talk about the film, so the ending was a complete surprise to me. Watching the extras kind of ruins the interpretive potential of the ending though. I'll definitely be watching it several more times though!

Spoiler

It's clear in the extras that Scorsese structured the film to give subtle hints that Daniels was actually insane throughout.

Cheers buddy, i did notice that actually but as ____ as i am for once i actually prefer the box art on the UK release over the US release, i can hold off a bit longer

No guesses what your watching tonight then

I cant wait to watch the extras and see what the subtle hints where

Spoiler

the only one i can think of is when he is at the desk interviewing and he is scribbling on the pad like a lunatic, i thought that was strange at the time and made sense at the end

 

[daikkenaurora]

Spoiler

Its funny that the commercials say the ending will surprise you.... No it didnt. the only thing that surprised me was that he was the guy he was looking for. But I figured he was insane after about 20 mins of watching. Still have to watch it on dvd to see the extras.

Actually no, I can wait too. Will make me appreciate it even more. If that's possible.
