It couldn't be clearer- you don't mess with a dude's elephants. An important lesson we can all learn from. |

In terms of just being confused, mulholland drive is the winner for me. It's not a horror film, just a big WTF is going on kind of film.
If you're looking for high class WTF horror, I highly recommend Funny Games, tho be warned it is one of the more disturbing films I've seen and I watch a lot of movies. |

 Actually I thought it was "My elephant will stand here while I kick your asses and use him as an acrobatic platform." |

The brothers rob their parents jewelry store and all hell brakes loose. Do I have the correct film? If so, yes, it was very dark!!! |

Requiem for a dream, the a to a dil scene was a bit much to take and then she curls up on the sofa happy she has her bag of smack.. tgalk about complete dignity loss and de-humanisation.
Mullholland Drive. Senseless, self indulgence. See Eraserhead also. And most of Lynch's output....
Some of JLG's films also just leave you feeling like 'why did you bother making that...? you owe me 3 hours of my life a hole.' |

I think there are different kind of WFT? moments, some of them are just because you can't believe the ending was so bad (Mission to Mars) while the ones where you are left curious and wanting to know more are more worth mentioning. For me this would be:
Not a film but a 13 episode anime series, Serial Experiment: Lain is worth mentioning. I found the whole storyline a bit confusing, but in a good way. In the end I was asking myself what I have been watching.
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer also had a quite unique ending which made me feel I had been watching a piece of art.
Stalker just made me amazed of how well done every scene was and how large impact the story had on me even though the techniques were very crude with very little dialog and almost nothing happened in the 160 minutes long film. |

D.D. Hold on a minute. I have seen this a few times over the past 10+ years, and the chronology still has me baffled. I am going from memory here, so be gentle.
The end of the flick, he just dies in the medical tent. So the whole movie prior to the ending was all in his head, memories etc.
Why is he in NYC talking to the chemist who made the "ladder" after the war, when his platoon went nuts on each other just after being exposed to it? That's when he recieved his fatal wounds.
Also, all his platoon members got together in NYC after the war, talked about hallucinating etc, talked to a lawyer.
What's with the girlfriend ( the Latin chick )? He had a wife and son prior to the war?
Please explain this one? I just don't get it!! |
Just like they say in the matrix-Is it real just because your mind is sensing it. The movie plays around with what exactly is reality. An easy answer is that his mind was stuck and was not letting go so it was creating a false sense of being alive. Those other people (even the bad ones) were there to set his mind free. It says we are only in this world because we are afraid to let go. Heh you can watch it on youtube if you want. |

Une Chein Andalour Louis Buniel and Salvador Dali
Still one of the most radical films of all time. If you are in Toronto there's a guy called Reg Hartt who shows wierd films in his living room. He's a real excentric. |

Tarkovsky made some great films - Solyaris and Andrei Rublev are my favorites, but this is also a great film.
I thought Perfume was too inconsistent - arty, but unsatisfying
Mullholland Drive doesn't make any sense, and I think that is the point, whatever that is supposed to mean. |
