Pretty crazy story. I wouldn't call it old really, it came out in '04, and doesn't look dated. Unbelievable what they went through. I would've looked for the first cliff I could've dived off of if I was in that situation. |
Another movie that I enjoy by the same producers is Deep Water.
Storyline: A documentary about the disastrous 1968 round-the-world yacht race.
Its definately not as visually exciting as touching the void but the story is very dark and tragic.

That's not what I was talking about.
I'm talking about approaching movies with an open mind. So many people think that Snyder, for example, is a dumb bro who has no clue and is like "lol slow-mo and hot chicks r cool", and this clouds their judgement every time they see a new film from him. Or worse, they know for sure the movie is bad just from watching the trailers.
That's anti-intellectualism.
I haven't seen Transformers 2, only have heard of some of its problems (racism, apparently?), but I'm pretty sure it's not as simple as you're trying to describe. |
It is. There's anti-intellectualism and there's faux-intellectualism. You can warp anything into 'meaningfulness', but that doesn't mean it's there. If you know about film etc, then you must know about post-modernism... Point being: The viewers interpretation is at least as valid as the creators: If the creator entirely failed to convey 'their message' (i'm hesitant to accept that the majority of hollywood blockbusters have any 'hidden' messages), then they have failed, and you can't keep saying there's crap there that other people can't see.
That is faux-intellectualisation of a bullshit film.
