I am not very good at articulating my thoughts about film. It's more about a general feeling or impression.
The world portrayed in the film is both surreal but beliavable at the same time. Nothing ever feels forced or silly. There is a undercurrent of horror through it all that culminates in the ending. The landscapes and the isolated, empty, buildings are dreamlike. Things reoccur in different ways, almost cyclical. The open ended mysterious dialogue and transcendent out of this world imagery. The colors are perfect in every scene. The intercutting shots of the sea. The absurd character interactions. The free flow of it's narrative that manages to still feel coherent.

Sounds interesting, maybe I'll check it out.

Asher Price
This is a great movie, but when are Manniacs going to give Public Enemies the attention it deserves as an equally great film?
letterboxd.com/albion is the guy who hates elan here? how comes you don't like any tsai films?
Landon Torres
Cereal boxes don't count.
Evan Stewart
Don't know if you mean me, because I don't hate Elan, thought I've had a few run-ins with him.
I've liked all the recent Tsai films I've watched and thought they were goodbut I don't think he's achieved greatness as a filmmaker. I plan to watch more to see if my opinion changes.
You've got one of them right. Shame the third part of ItT wasn't made.
Dominic Sullivan

Jace Morgan
DUDE INCEST LMAO Like he wouldn't have recognized his son, especially with the neck injury.
Caleb Lee

what was the best film of 2016 /lbg/?
Blake Young
13 Hours
Ryan Brown
Didn't see many, but I thought Three was a masterpiece.
Ethan Anderson

Aiden Wilson
>Didn't see many >I thought Three was a masterpiece. What a predictable answer.
Adam Perez
Which other films of 2016 are on the same level? Looking at what was released and looking at other peoples' year-end lists, I doubt I would find a better movie released last year, even if I saw everything that came out. And even if I did, it wouldn't change what I thought of Three.
Do you think megaautist still checks these threads while banned? I wonder how long he has left this time. If you are here: I watched Sit Tight, I thought it was bad.
I can't believe tsar allowed himself to be BTFO like that in public really sad
Love witch for me
Michael Russell
Majority of films from the 30s are shit. Idk why you would listen to megaaustist shitty recs
That's a great cover, and a good label. I know I have Shock Waves by them and atleast one other, but a region free beta player is extremely rare to come by. Much harder than a region free vcr. Maybe one day I'll get one.

The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure is one of the few films in which I personally did not find any significant weakness even after many viewings. From the direction, to the acting, to the storyline, to the score, The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure has the word classic written all over, and it really is not much of a surprise that it is now considered by many one of the top five movies of all time. Perhaps when it comes to cinematic techniques The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure has not been as revolutionary as Citizen Kane, but its influence on motion pictures is comparable. Rarely a movie has defined or re-defined a genre as much as this one did for "kids movies", but its influence goes well beyond that.
