Equilibrium was a sweet movie not too many people have seen or even heard of it. Christian Bale is a great actor he was cool in that movie and great in the new batman.

Oh my favorite movie would probaly have to be the lord of rings trilogy or star wars do hard to decide for me.

Well thank you. I tend to be very picky about them. I'd rather see one of these than a new one most days.

[Janus]

Oldboy and/or Last Life in the Universe

Last Life in the Universe IS amazing!

 

[Jeremi]

Nice to see some Oldboy love. That movie was great ^^

 

[Jeremi]

I haven't seen sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, but I have seen Lady Vengeance, and it was all right. Not as good as Oldboy in my opinion, but it's worth watching ^^

Oldboy and/or Last Life in the Universe

Last Life in the Universe IS amazing!

Indeed. Still trying to find another flick that has the same vibe.

Same vibe as in ... melancholy?

^^ why is it quote-quoteing me? I didn't say that.
I've never seen any of those movies. I haven't got an opinion on them.

 

[GodsLonelyMan]

Taxi Driver(1976)

I truly enjoy this movie for various reasons. Being a loner, I can completely relate to the movie but that is not the only reason I love this movie and consider it my all-time favorite. I enjoy it for what it truly is; a work of art. I just love the ambiguity and gloominess portrayed in this movie. It provides more questions than answers.

It is an excellent character study of a lonely man desperately seeking recognition and companionship. This mans years of loneliness and isolation have transformed him into a Sociopath. This man desires something in his life that he doesn't have. What it is isn't clear, He just wants to be somebody.

I would recommend this film to any person regardless of being lonely or not. It is a work of art. Robert De Niro's performance as Travis Bickle(God's Lonely Man) was remarkable. As usual, Martin Scorsese shows us what Cinema and Directing is all about. Excellent movie. 5 out of 5 stars.

Eh, I'm not sure ... I may have just effed up the reply. Sorry, I know.

I probably used the wrong word. I liked the visuals. The way the story progressed. It was slow but always the right pace. So many aspect of the movie were well done.

Only part i didn't like was how the sister came back near the end. Turns out the only reason he brought her back was because she would allow them to talk more "loose" with her.

You should watch "Man on the Train." Or "Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter." If you're thinking similar vibes and/or visual creativity, those are what I'm reminded of. But yeah, I'm with you, great film.

Hey, it's cool. Just with that troll using my name I've been kinda suspicious of anything that might be misconstrued as suspicious... I am slightly paranoid so don't mind me... lol.
