This movie was a very...pleasant is the word that comes to mind, but what i think is "pleasant" is very different from everyone else, so... this was a movie worth seeing. Im not sure if its better to see it sober or high but its definitely something u want to see when ur patient and detail oriented.
I enjoyed the Clementine (Kate Winslet) character, altho i worried that i saw too much of myself in her......jim carey did excellent as usual. Elijah Wood was mad creepy. I loved how it was shot, and the effects. I felt like i was experiencing it as well, which was pretty intense. An intense longing...an intense confusion...u feel like ur fighting for ur life, even tho u'r/he's just fighting for love.
i can't tell you any more beyond that cuz i dont want to ruin the movie. Suffice it to say, it was cute, intense, suspenseful, funny, weird, artistic, etc. watch it.
while i learned alot about the culture of street art and saw alot of pieces/artists i really liked (Bansky, in particular), i didnt care for the film. I found myself waiting for it to get to the point...and once it did, i was disappointed. this film was basically done about a man with dependency issues who used creative outlets to cling to those he cared/looked up to, living vicariously through them, and then ultimately stealing their whole style. I know that every artist borrows from something/one BUT this guy, however efficient, was a poser...who got really rich and alot of notoriety. i was pissed at the end. it wasnt that he didnt do a good job at pretending, he could have fooled me with some of his pieces, but the fact of the matter was that he wasnt an artist. He was just a copy-cat who through a bunch of things that he saw done together and let ppl swoon over the chaos. besides letting me kno who the true artist are, it was a pointless movie to me. u may feel differently...some say its satire *shrug*
im very glad i decided to watch this movie after the previous mentioned. it was everything i hoped the other would be. It was intimate, relatable, unpretentious, etc. I felt connected to the artist...or at least understood their particular passions. i felt like i was inside of the artist minds, to a certain extent, when it came to the inspirations for their work, and how they felt about their culture. There isnt much to say about it cuz its more of a visual and personal experience. Just check it out when u have time, k? k.
