I'd have to agree with some of the earlier posts. 12 Monkeys and Donnie Darko. I can sort of get both but then you talk to someone about them and they come up with something I never even thought of!!
yeah, donnie darko stumped me, as did the ending of fight club for a bit (someone told me once, then i forgot!). And Infernal Affairs...I got lost very early on, so just sat back and enjoyed the ride lol
I didn't find Donnie Darko a confusing as some people seem to. I think the trick with it is to make whatever sense of it you can, it doesn't matter if someone else has a different theory as long as you are happy with yours. To me that's a big part of the fun of this film and why it has become so well loved.
Obviously it's NOT straightforward, I didn't mean to imply that it is, I just mean take from it what you can and don't sweat the rest of it.
Mulholland Dr. is not so hard to work out, (well to the conclusion I came to anyway) you just need to pay very close attention to what you see on the screen in the first and last 10 minutes or so.
I liked the film I just did not understand it, I have only watched it once so perhaps it is one of those films you have to see a few times. To me the events after he found the ear resembled his nightmare, this might not be the case but the way it was filmed created a very surreal atmosphere. I thought about it for days.

Originally posted by *Katerina*: I found Twelve Monkeys confusing when I first saw it, I enjoyed it though. I had a WTF? moment with Donnie Darko and Vanilla Sky too
Yeah I found 12 Monkeys verry confusing at first but as I watched it again I realised that it was a very clever film in the fact that it was made a very dis-jointed and confusing film to try and convay the feeling that Bruce Willis had in the film!
what about memento?? i got to the end and was like 'ok then.......' still loved it though!

have to agree, ive given up trying to figure out what its 'supposed' to be about, and now just sit back and enjoy the ride. and i have to say i dont think the CG philososhy of time tarvel in the directors cut helps, i definatly prefer the original.

This is precisely why I have chosen not to watch the directors cut, I fear it may ruin one of the best films in recent years. The film is what you make it, I personally would not want someone to sit down and explain what the movie IS or SHOULD be about. 'I think therefore I am' (Descartes)

Anyone care to explain just what Mr Clooney and his bottom were up to in that film?
