What was the last movie you've seen?

Some serious shit goes down in Buller. Cameron is dead, deal with it. Ferris plays out a perfect day in his mind, and only in his mind as to cope with the loss of his best friend. The entire story is a manic dream he's concocted as that is the only way he can deal with such a tragic loss.

You assume fundamental truths exist.

Hey, let's not be Modern, here. (Romanticism, o nada.)

don't confuse my definition of philosophy with its endorsement

and The Matrix certainly hits at philosophic themes in ways that are a bit more overt (and, I would argue, interesting) than Bueller.

I know.

The real story lies within his Sister's arc. She can't come to grips that her Brother is a complete whack-o, that is until a sage like Sheen tells her to "let go". She does.

That's the real story. Not Ferris pretending to be Abe Froman, not Ferris commanding a parade, not joyriding in a Ferrari.

Jeanie is the only cast member who isn't 100% delusional. Her parents are gonzo. Everyone in her school is a caricature of an actual human being. She's the only one who recognizes what a farce she lives in and is the only character in the movie that doesn't break the 4th wall. Seriously, everyone besides Jeanie recognizes that they are in a movie, down to the friggin bus driver.

"There is no spoon".

Ugh. The Matrix is the 90's puked onto film.

I have some very close friends that think the matrix is "deep" and "mind bending". I think my fingers are more interesting than that movie. People get so one dimensional when it comes to that film that it makes me chuckle.

A grain of sand is more interesting than that movie.

Not only is it bad (And reviews lampooned it), it's based on a board game.
If they made Uno The Movie, it would do badly also. It's not even a new thing, when they made Clue the movie, it also performed badly.

If you think that movie has no depth, you don't know what you're talking about.

I have not seen the movie but merely stating it doesnt look so bad, there seems to be some effort put into it.

As for The Matrix, I do not care if it has deep philosophical meaning. The plot is clear, AI took over humans and now they are using the humans to their advantage while our race is living in fantasy, and its up to few to fight back the "aliens" . This is much better than watching Magnolia , I believe it was, with raining frogs. Frogs are raining in the middle of a modern city, now how are you supposed to know what is this.

A lot of stuff is not explain but it does not have to be explained to enjoy the movie, and this is another part which there is a huge clash of cultures. It seems in the west they love to keep things unexplained, where my part of the world would see unexplained creative work as incomplete or lacking, like a story with no ending. I still do not know what the oracle is.

As for the French articles, I never understood why movie makers put extra effort to include such details into a movie that like 1% of the viewers will notice and if they do they will not even research it. Last I checked, people watch movies for entertainment, not to study them.

@SamsonLongHair

Well, then I guess we shouldn't care about who are the producers for any movie because it does not affect us as viewers, so when they say "Produced by Steven Spielberg" in reality it mean "Spielberg was responsible to make this movie profitable for the investors" , why should I care?

I always thought that a producer at least put the over-all direction and quality level of the movie, while the director worked on the details... at least.

[noiseredux]

I honestly do enjoy The Matrix. At least the first movie. But I don't find it especially 'deep.' I just think it's fun. And cool to look at.

But Luke may have broken my mind. Cameron = Garfield, y'all. Damn.

Jessie's owner from Toy Story 2 is Andy's mom.

Andy's neighbor Sid is secretly effin brilliant.

Gregg Araki's "The Doom Generation" is a loose adaptation of Dante's Inferno.

And his more recent film "Kaboom" is secretly an adaptation of Shin Megami Tensei if the SMT series didn't have demons and just had people.

Anyone have any theories about the films of John Waters?
