Ive liked these type of movies-Donnie Darko,Audition-but atleast the available interpretations should be clear.

I would put it like - when a movie moves into the zone of metaphor,simile etc - trying to insinuate something else through a different story -velaikkaavadhu...basically for two reasons

1.innum naan pakkuva padala

2.Its hard to feel for/understand the intended meaning from a foriegn movie - being brought up in a completely different sociopolitical environment

Vivs,
It's not "pakkuvam", but this facilitating of 'different interpretations' that P_R is worried about, and that it kinda 'misses the point'. So what you said as "but atleast the available interpretations should be clear." pretty much becomes 3rd point in your post, and most important point of contention. P_R has a point there. I'm daunted, taunted and haunted by it. I'm indecisive at this moment. :oops:

About Cronenberg and Videodrome, more later. I'm in "Football" mode, mood and ecstasy :boo: Will "switch" or "leap" to being a film receptor and then reply. :)

Not necessarily. .

The most elitist director or author who claims that he doesn’t care if his works are seen or not, then I have to think that he’s either a liar or a hypocrite.

I don't know, because I feel more the "eyeballs" on the creation, more the relief and assurance of the creative burden.

The quote was actually from Haneke, one of my favorite filmmaker.

But still maintaining the overall quality. "Volver", "Embraces" etcetra are still damn good philums. I wish I could say that of another legend, who is off-late being more of a belend to his own talend (:P :cry2:) I'm talking of mighty Woody Allen, of course. :sigh2:

---

of course, quality needless to say. Volver's screenplay reeks genius.

Woody Allen paaththadhe illa :oops: Reverse la aarambichurukken (Vicky Christina Barcelona, liked it). Aduththu avarukkum sketch potruken.

:thumbsup:

Stephen King's It.

stopped watching it halfway. not that it's actively bad or something, but you really can't indulge (??) in clown themed horror movies without thinking about John Gacey :cry: Disturbing.

Its ok if the director facilitates it clearly - whatever interpretations possible in that movie must be intentionally and clearly implemented.All those interpretations must be his intent/point.When the audience interprets something that is not thought by the director himself(when he leaves it completely open),then I dont understand whats the point.

Yeah, that's what P_R is worried about, immensely.

k-g, either here or there why don't you mention an example of an interpretation you enjoyed immensely when you were pretty sure the author wouldn't have intended it that way.

Moved to other thread.
