Sisi kill you seem a bit too familiar with the stalking handbook o!
See the way you just recited the list, I go die o.

@Sisi_Kill
I taya for Guy Ritchie films. 
But "Snatch", "Sherlock Holmes" and "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" were quite good. 

The greatest con he ever pulled was convincing you he is you
The only way to get smarter is by playing a smarter opponent
The greatest enemy to have ever existed is an eternal one
The Greatest enemy will hide in the last place you’ll ever look


The emphasis placed on these quotes throughout the movie pretty much explained it. THE EGO. . . that little voice inside our heads,  is the enemy here and until we overcome it, we can never be free. 

I don’t think Avi and Zach are real, I think they are in his head. . . 7 years in solitary confinement? He’s the perfect candidate for that kinda psychosis.  They represent the good part of him and they help him fight his EGO. 

It’s no mystery what the EGO wanted. . . Revenge on MACHA. For what? We don’t know and I think this was done on purpose because at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what the other person has done to us. . . REVENGE is never an option. It’s our EGO which makes us think we need to hurt the person who hurt us. 

By groveling at his Enemy’s bedside instead of shooting him. . .Green overcomes his ego, this singular act also takes away his fears and he gets the ultimate revenge on MACHA (remember in the beginning they said Macha (more to the point. . .his ego) wants to be feared and respected.

When Green shows no fear in the face of Macha’s loaded gun. . . He wins and Macha is confronted with the realization that his perception of himself is false. . .hence the crying like a day old baby without pacifier.

Anyhoo, that is my own understanding of the movie and I’m happy to leave it at that.

Favorite scene – The attempted assassination of Macha in the restaurant. I thought it was just BEAUTIFULLY done. The juxtaposition of chaos (above the table) and calmness (under the table) was just  magnifique and. . . and. . .errr. . .  would it be sick of me to say I think I’m in love with Sorter, the killer?

Oh one more thing. . .Did anyone else find Macha’s dialogues a wee bit contrived? Matter of fact, his entire acting 'cept for the last scene was just unnatural jare.

Obinna I tried oh, I swear I did but I can't help it. . .as soon as my fingers hit the keyboard, I can't stop 'em.

justkunmi:

LMAO!!!

Meaning it wasnt disco. .you know what. .

I refused to let it oh! As soon as the color color, shiny shiny disco lights of confusion started coming on in my head. . . like who the hell is Sorta and what's his motive? Who is Mr. Gold? What's with the cartoon scenes? How did Avi and Zach escape? Why is that girl just sitting there unclothed with only a bottle to cover her abunna,  etc etc, I just quickly shut it off. Was so not ready to have my brain cracked. Simple!

Very good!

I think knowing it was a Guy Ritchie film, I prepared myself for a non-linear, jagalajagala movie 


MOVIE TRIVIA
What movie did this line come from - The Greatest trick the Devil ever pulled, was convincing the world he didn't exist.

I've not seen Revolver o! Sisi, help me out with one of those wailing on the floor smileys, er, waileys. With your take, it seems I am missing. I too woulda made a poster of Vieira but I'll start losing friends one by one, including Vieira himself.

Ah, that is The Usual Suspects. I'm sure the saying is from somewhere before but I can't remember but since you said film. . . . .
Though, you do realise that only God knows more than google.

@Sisi_Kill
That quote is from THE USUAL SUSPECTS.

So, what's the next discombobulating movie to talk about?

The Devil's Advocate. . .

Your smiley. . . my liege.

Nah Eldee, It's THE USUAL SUSPECT

I love this movie! If you haven't seen it. . . please do!

@Sisi_Kill
THE USUAL SUSPECTS is a classic. Period.

@Obinna5000 you are correct

Aiight, what's next?

@sisi eko, do u go back to watch those movies, the only thing I remember abt the movie is that it had andre 3000 in it and dere was a scene that morphed into animation.

We haven't spoken about imaginarium of dr parnassius.

Dat quote was easy jo. If you haven't seen the usual suspects ur on a serious long thing.

Lmao @ Sisi Eko

Yeah I watch the movies again. . . thank God for Netflix.

Haven't seen Imaginawhachumacallit yet, I'll check it out sometime this week. . . or is it next week?

@Sisi_Kill
NETFLIX is cool from what I've been hearing through friends. Some blu-ray players have Netflix whenever its connected to the internet via Wi-Fi or LAN.
Do I need to pay to register?

It's so convenient. . . you can watch all the movies you want, anywhere you want. Right now they have a special going, you get the first month free and 7.99 after that. The beauty of it is you can cancel anytime.

Anyone seen A Clockwork Orange?

justkunmi:

Anyone seen A Clockwork Orange?

@justkunmi
I've seen it. Very weird film. Stanley Kubrick at his best (in making weird films that is. ).

Unlike "2001: A Space Odyssey", "A Clockwork Orange" took a much darker tone.

Justkunmi, do you think that so called method used in "curing" the gang leader Alex (Malcolm McDowell) worked at the end?

Im not sure about anything in the movie. .I was just impressed by the sheer genius of the writing and staging of the whole plot. Twas lovely.

The Ludovico technique, if thats what you were refering to, isnt really a cure. Twas just a technique to let Alex see the reality and gravity of his violence. Throughout the movie, he didnt seem to realise the reality of his own violence on people. He sees violence as just a game. When he watches a movie, he understands life. .hence, you need to turn real life into art before he can understand. (Thats the twisted logic I love bout the movie).

So the irony is that Life must be turned into art before Alex can understand it. .I think thats what the technique was all about. .
But im not sure if it worked.

Good movie huh.?

@justkunmi
Stanley Kubrick will always be remembered for being a perfectionist when filming surrealistic movies.

Other classic Kubrick films are "Dr. Strangelove" (another weird film), "2001: A Space Odyssey", Barry Lyndon, Full Metal Jacket, and "Eyes Wide Shut" .

But that Ludovico technique is completely messed up. At a point towards the end, I was feeling sorry for Alex.

U felt sorry for him? The dude isnt even sorry for himself. He didnt even feel any form of remorse for all he did. .
Neways nice movie sha. .

@justkunmi
Yes o!! I was feeling sorry for the mumu criminal. But at the end, Alex didn't regret anything.

Stanley Kubrick will be missed greatly. At least he's better than that mumu David Lynch.

I've got Clockwork Orange and Imagithatmovie in my queue. . . will get to them later this week.

Gosh! I hope I don't get burdened with an overabundance of movies. . .LOL

So I saw Johnny Mnemonic last night. . .  aiight what the hell was that?!! 

I can not. . . NOT believe directors gave Keanu Reeves roles after that piece of shite.

Anyhoo, has anyone seen THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP?

The Science of Sleep sounds like something I'd like.

A Clockwork Orange I hear is a better read. Given that the movie is well made, the book must be something. I found some scenes a bit disturbing. Kubrick was a master. The masters are dying. I would've loved to see his vision for A.I. One can't be sure how faithful Steven Spielberg was to his vision.

The science of sleep sounds nice. I'm on it.

@Sisi_Kill
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE is disturbing and surreal but I know you can handle it well.

Sisi_Kill, the movies on Netflix, are they available on HD (720p or 1080p) format as well?

Cloclwork Orange is a sick movie from a sick mind jare.
It made me scared of being in london!

Johnny Mnemonic is one of the worst films ever made, absolute tosh.
