Apologies for super old thread bumpage, but I just finished watching this movie and had to comment...
It has been a long time since I've watched a movie from beginning to end without noticing something shiny out my window. I was spellbound for two hours. In fact, the only reason I searched for this thread was to see if some of the stuff I noticed was commented on already (I never read movie threads because I rarely care about other peoples' opinions on movies). Specifically, when the credits started and there was no "music", it was then that I realized that at no point in the movie did they use music as an aid. And that strikes me as unique for more than one reason. First because it's rare in itself for a movie simply to not have music and second because its even rarer for a movie to tell a story without a montage. Right? Off the top of my head I can't think of one movie that doesn't rely on a montage at some point or at least some kind of 10 second score to illustrate whatever emotion the director is trying to get you to feel.
Just a really unique and, IMO, awesome movie. Completely free of BS scenes to fill it out. No extraneous plot lines. A few strangely hilarious lines that you want to take a minute to chuckle about (that's a big f'n bone sticking out of your arm), and the perfect 4 second quiet transition after the line to replay it in your head, chuckle, and then keep staring to see what's next.
Wow. It has really been a long time since I've seen a movie that captivated my attention so well that I felt the need to head straight to CP at 230am to sing praises.
