Preachy? I liked it a great deal because

Spoiler

the ending was so open. Some atheists will be saying "this clearly means that he had to make up a fake story and believe in God to live through this horrible experience". Some religious people, on the other hand, will argue that because we want to believe that the story about the tiger is true, this means that we want to believe in miracles and in something bigger than what can be measured.

Which I don't find to be that much of a problem. You're alone, you have noone to talk to, you grip on to anything that might help you. Then you get back to civilization, it's no longer a desperate situation and you can put it behind you.

True. I guess it depends on how you are interpreting the experience. The atheist might see it as a necessity that should be put behind you, while the religious person might see it is as something more than just that.

i felt the same way about this, although i will be pretty frank here i did'nt think the meaning was soo deep as to put it into a comparison between people who choose to have faith and others who dont. when i recall the movie i can clearly see where this point arises. the point i mentioned as to sth i liked about the movie really makes me appreciate the character as being a normal human being with emotions, and normal psychology and i think this break down he had would actually happen to a lot of people regardless of there stance towards religion. after all we r humans and too much bad luck and suffering does have its toll on our psychology and how we look at things. as for the ending i think it would come down to each persons way of looking at things. people with faith would look at it as a miracle from god or a blessing if you like, people who choose not too, would look at it, at having a strong will and urge to live on and get out of this ordeal which in no case would be easy.

will give that a shot

silver lining playbook is pretty cool i enjoyed it a great deal. p.s has any one met a character like robert di niro's character in real life?? i know people like him but not exactly to the extent portrayed and i guess with old age it becomes a bit too much.

 

[Nzoric]

I'm ambiguous when it comes to ZDT.

 

[Fint]

Life of Pi was cool. Even if a bit preachy.

Really? Looked like average propaganda.

 

[Post Ironic]

Holy Motors was the best film I saw last year. Denis Lavant was just amazing in it. Waiting to see what shows up this year. Nothing with that "wow" factor yet...

 

[Enron]

It's well done. Good characters. Director keeps tension high throughout.

It's far less propaganda than people think. Nowhere near the campiness of Act of Valor.

I told you so.

Wow... Nothing about it justifies the word average. I don't know where you got that propaganda from. Except some stupid Americans that think it is propaganda, most people understand where it is going, and what the message is.

10/10 Oscar to DDL pls
