Ironically he made one good horror,people are not watching for the gore and violence, they are watching for the emotions,story and the mystery that horrors usually come with.
I LOVE anything with Micheal Pitt in it. I think he's the most underrated actor of our time. He doesn't do many movies and he's very selective. However, he's known as a "difficult" actor. Supposedly that was the reason Boardwalk Empire killed his character off at the end of season 2. Too many creative differences. I just love how he can deliver any emotion flawlessly. I love this movie and while I didn't know all of this, I did catch and like that they were breaking the 4th wall. I don't know why people didn't like it. It's perfect if you understand what is really happening. This is one of my favorite underrated movies.
@Poly.Stars33d I agree. He's great in all of the stuff he does. He literally made Boardwalk Empire. Season 3 and on just seemed like rehashed crap. I think they should've ended the show after his death. HBO has a habit of finding out one of their shows is popular, so instead of writing a great story with a thought out ending, they just try to sting it along until people stop watching, then they do some kind of stupid, obviously last second writing to end it. Or, they don't end it at all and it just stops. Pitt in Funny Games is one of my favorites. But Ghost In The Shell was amazing too. I loved his emotion in that movie. The effects mixed with grade A acting..... gave me goosebumps. If you like Pitt, check out stuff like Murder By Numbers, Funny Games, The Village... and all of the other smaller roles he's done.
@@lauraapalmerr Bully is so damn good.... i was so surprised that I picked it up in some discount bin, years ago, and had never heard of it....Brad Renfro was good young actor.... too bad he’s not still with us!💔 I remember seeing him debut as a kid in that John Grisham novel turned into a ‘Susan Sarandon as an attorney’ film.
Love this movie! Though I of course love the original Austrian version more. It's weird. I know it's the exact same film with the exact same script and same director. But the director thought making it a Hollywood movie would improve it, but that's where I disagree. Making it a Hollywood movie takes away from the realism and from our empathy for the characters.
I understand the "rewind" thing when Tubby got shot, but it still ruined the movie for me. I already knew the whole family was all going to die by that point, but anytime a movie maker takes a scene and "undoes" it because of a dream or a hallucination (or rewinding!), the reality is gone. Rules don't exist at that point. It's like Superman making the world go back in time, before the train crash. They could have still killed the family, while the killers stayed alive, and the ending would have been even more infuriating... which is what it's supposed to do. I also didn't like Paul breaking the 4th wall. Because he did this, I knew he and Tubby were in complete control, and the family was going to die. So the ending turned out to be completely predictable... I even told the person with me that Paul was going to borrow some eggs, and wink into the camera.
I only watch the Austrian version, although its a frame by frame remake the Austrian version is way better..i respect Roth as a very talented actor..but he just plays the groaning undercover cop in Reservoir Dogs all over again
Not bad...nice video! I think I underrated the remake (haven't seen the original), I used think about it as one of Hanekes weakest films, It was actually the 1st film from Michael Haneke I saw, I definitely wasn't ready for it, thought it's some genre thriller. I almost hated it, while at the same time enjoying some uniqe things it did. Now loving his Caché (Hidden, 2005), and seeing this video , I think it's time to go back and watch both films back to back, thank you!
I don't get why they have to remake this it's literally the same from the original and I mean literally they didn't even change a single thing from it the lines, the scenes, the sequence. Like wtf?
Absolutely detest this movie, but I guess that's the intention. It left a bad impression on me but also deterred me from seeking further titles. I rated "The Killing of a Sacred Deer" as much more accomplished, and is indeed one of my favorites.
The more I think about this movie the more I don’t like it. I saw the original version first and then the American remake and my only thoughts while watching the remake were “why did this have to be made again?” and I don’t buy the to reach a larger audience excuse as I don’t see a lot of people paying money to essentially get lectured for two hours. It is a movie that is meant to repel people by design. As a horror fan I will give a horror movie credit if it manages to make me question my complicity in what I am watching but the way Funny Games handles it just comes across as annoyingly preachy.
It’s a good movie in the end,his message is lost by making it entertaining to watch and creating the mystery. He would have been better off by exaggerating the violence for his point.
When you say ppl are only desensitized to portrayals of violence and not actual violence where are you getting that info from? Don’t you think it could bleed into being desensitized to all types of violence including real ones- Especially when children witness media violence? J food for thought 🤷♀️
This movie was so wack it should've won a razzie award 😂 The director clearly failed to understand the essence of slasher genre so the conclusion is he made one of the most pointless movie ever made. I wonder if they even made profit with this garbage.
Oh, and I while I loved this movie, I'm not usually into "slasher" movies where it's human vs human(s). Mainly because I'm not scared of some killer breaking into my home. My home is not one an intruder would walk out of..... more like wheeled out of. So those movies don't scare me. If I can kill it, I'm not scared of it. I'm good with heat and better with a blade than anyone I know. The movies that "scare" (none of them really do because I'm a man. Not a kid) are the ones with ghosts and possessed people (my favorite horror sub-genre).
@@Clonzofficail No it's not. It has nothing to do with ego. It has to do with the fact that I'm prepared. And, I've never met a person that can take getting tons of holes in them and still fight me. If you're not supposed to be in my home, I'll put holes in you. No thinking about it. I 'll do it. And while I've never killed anyone, I have badly hurt people that attacked me when I lived in the hood. I'm white and lived in the hood for a long time. White people have to fight more than anyone alive, if you live in the hood. So, I learned how to use a blade and I still train with them. I have some form of weapon in arms reach almost everywhere. Even in the bathroom. I even keep a big knife in the shower and it gets cleaned with the rest of the bathroom to prevent rust and so on. So call it what you want. I know what I'm capable of. And I know that if I knocked over a killer, I wouldn't run away like they do in the movies. I would keep stabbing until they stopped moving. That's why those movies put no fear in me. Because there are no humans that put fear in me. You would have to catch me off guard and that would be hard to do. Hand to hand fights.... sure I've lost plenty. But you put a weapon in my hand and it's another things all together. I'll protect my life and my properties with deadly force if need be.
I think is movie is stupid if they had shown them just killing the family it would've been okay but wtf is this out of nowhere rewinding bs totally ruined the movie
