Day 39: A picture of your favorite movie
 |
| When I first saw this film in theaters, I was captivated by the visuals, The next time I saw it, I understood it. Every time since then, I have appreciated it more and more (and cry every time). I don't understand why it's hated more than loved, but I've never been one to only appreciate things that have my generation's seal of approval. At least there are a few other people out there who understand. These are some comments on a thread discussing the film.
"I can understand disliking a movie and sharing your opinion, but to take such a harmless movie as this – that inspires hope in many people – and to apply your scathing wit to the film is not cool or intellectual – it’s just malicious. I really enjoyed the concept that heaven and hell ARE in our own minds, and they are often hidden by Maya or the distractions of our world. And Hell is simply being alone – we’d go crazy without human interaction – and this film, in spite of its shortcomings, presents these concepts fairly well."
"Why are we snarking on movies like WDMC, which try to show us new things? I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Werner Herzog, the man who said that we as a civilization are starving for new images, appears in the film."
