Re: i saw the movie

Also, there were some genuinely funny parts in the movie, not just "let's make fun of the retard" laughter. Good way to be a cynic. :rolleyes:

I cracked up pretty bad at the magic rocks, but I think that was the only time I was awake during that terribly boring movie. What a waste of money.

Can you imagine the feel of terror? The feels of several sweat drops dripping down your neck from fear? Can you imagine the perfect murder? Can you imagine yourself being in the centre of attention in a true perfect murder? You cannot imagine all the fear summed up inside the world to make a true murder. Not even in your worst nightmares. In a murder, you scream and shout so loud for your life. But there is no one there to hear it. Does sound exist if no one hears you? A killer stalks you with a long butcher knife, or an axe. You turn around a stream so loud, the loudest you had ever screamed in your entire life! Your inner mind hears a thousand cries for help, but only one of them can make it through. You try to escape; you run, you hide, but the killer can find you. Whether you are hiding behind a tree, or hiding under your bed, the killer knows you are there. It knows, and it can tell. All these murders never happen in the light, in the afternoon, in the morning, but in god’s eyes, it does, and it happens, every single minute of the day, in the dark. You can tell when it is a bad night. It could be a full moon night, or Friday the 13th, or it could be just a bit more quiet, and a bit more dark, and the breeze may be a bit cooler, and the crows will fly a bit higher. |

I completely disagree. William Hurt aside (The way he......reads his........lines is.....................annoying) the movie was great. Sure, you saw the twist coming a mile away but the basic premise of the film was an interesting idea. You people are judging it far too harshly. And at the risk of being completely unpopular, my favortie film by Mr. M Night is Unbreakable. I'll just sit back and let the outrage pour in.

It gets better with every viewing also ... A brave bold take on the comic book theme .. especially considering all of the hight-tech cgi super hero movies pouring out of the studio .. but The Village .. Man .. i cant recommend anything about this film .. The acting was deplorable - from everyone ... Hurt is so bad in this film ... I remember when this guy could do no wrong, Body Heat/Children of a Lesser God, etc ... but he's headed for the bargain bin if this keeps up.. And Ronnie Howards daughter's performance .. what a calculated formulatic horrible interpretation that was ... Seeing this film was like having your 4th date with a beautiful woman who says all night long 'i cant wait to get you back home into bed' - all through dinner she's rubbing her bare foot on your crotch under the table - while licking her lips salaciously .... You notice that by the end of the date her hair is starting to look funny and her makeup is a bit off .. but still there is so much promise of a good time you keep interested. Then you get home and she says ' Just kidding !! See Ya !!! Or even worse .. turns out she's a guy. thats about the best analogy i can come up with re. the village. |

I'm a bit confused about your review, as I consider it a blind attack without deep consideration of the actual film.
Being an enormous fan of both the Sixth Sense and Signs, I have no reason to believe that M. Night Shymalon's craft is lifeless-- let alone depreciating. Likewise, after watching the Village with high expectations and having them met, I have reason to reply to your review. My intention isn't to warp your established opinions, but rather to enlighten you with a further understanding of the movie. Quote:

As for looking at people when they speak, I perceived it as both her raised courtesy (is it not impolite to look somewhere else as someone’s talking to you?) and her desire to act and blend with the rest of the community. I found her performance to be both subtle and accurate (or am I carping this section of the review?). Quote:

Although I agree with your belief that the advertisements were misleading -- the film was more a story of "values" and "love" rather than pure horror -- you did not give the film it's deserved credit, but instead associated it's poor advertising and labeled a "poor film" Take care -kevino |
