mr. stefan posted:In the first two Addams Family movies, Morticia's face is never fully illuminated, but is always in shadow with only her eyes lit up. This is always the case, even in group shots where everyone else is fully lit. There's a funny scene in Addams Family Values, I think in the scene with Nathan Lane, where the slit lighting is set up in the wrong place and she adjusts her position so it's around her eyes.

Red1Dex posted:Another Fight Club subtlety: Basically throughout the movie, no one ever interacts with Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) apparent from the Narrator (Edward Norton). People look at the narrator when they are supposedly talking to Durden, they apologize when bumping into the narrator but not when bumping into Durden, and Marla is never in the same room with BOTH of the men. Holy moly! No way!

fuckpot posted:Also at the start of Django Unchained when Schultz and Django are in the bar having a beer together they both only take small sips defying the convention of characters guzzling their drinks down at the start of Tarantino films. The car-boot POV shot was when Django was hanging upside down and looking up at Walton Goggins, who is threatening to cut his junk off. Like the final shot of Inglourious Basterds, it's not from the trunk of a car but it's the same basic perspective.

Oppenheimer posted:I like Landa's welp reaction when Shoshanna gets away at the start, he really is the best Nazi. Landa is so plotting and that conversation is so tense, and then he just watches her leave. To him it's not about exterminating the Jews, it's about being the smartest guy in the room. Hence the flaunting of the massive Sherlock pipe as soon as the farmer pulls out his little corncob.

When Doc Brown tells Marty it's his kids that are the problem (in the future) (this incarnation of Dr. Brown is from the future) at the end of BTTF1, he is foreshadowing Back to the Future 2, in which Marty's son gets in trouble in the future and Marty has to save him

ducttape posted:On the other hand, all of the totems (except Cobbs) behave unusually in real life (misspelled poker chip, weighted die, hollowed chess piece), suggesting that the totem works because someone elses mind doesn't properly recreate it (Like how Saito knew he was in the second dream in the beginning). This would then mean that Cobbs totem doesn't mean a thing, and he could be in a dream the whole time. Yeah, that's the whole thing. The wedding ring isn't his totem, he took his wife's totem when she died. The top spins forever in a dream. The movie cuts to black before we can tell if the top will fall or not. It's intentionally ambiguous, there's no definitive answer with solid evidence one way or the other.

SaltyJesus posted:Actually, Nolan himself said in some interviews that when he did the movie one interpretation in his mind was the "correct" one. So unless he's meta-loving with people's minds I think that there is probably one interpretation subtly more supported by the movie. He's saying that of the two possible endings, only one of them can be true, and he decided which one before he made the movie. This informed his decisions within the filmmaking process, although it did not necessarily force his hand to insert cryptic clues that lead to THE ANSWER!!! So, yeah, ambiguity can only exist within a limited scope of knowledge, which the audience has. The director of the movie, effectively God in the story, obviously knows what happens next. scary ghost dog has a new favorite as of 11:49 on Apr 22, 2013 |

I am not a book posted:I think that Jurassic Park is one of those movies that you should read the book first, since most of the background present in the films is explained much better in the books. Even having read the book, the movie was still amazing, and 3d made it even better. I disagree with this, and think that Jurassic Park is a thousand times better as a movie than as a book. The book's fine, it's good, but the movie is transcendant. It's one of the best movies ever made.

OilSlick posted:I can't remember if this one's been posted as there's been a lot of Shutter Island posts in this thread, but in the scene where Teddy and Chuck are interviewing a female patient early in the movie, they ask her about the mysteriously absent Dr. Sheehan. The female patient describes him as "not too hard on the eyes", to which Chuck gives a little grin. Chuck is, of course, Dr. Sheehan playing his part in Teddy's role play, so naturally he'd smile at that remark. She also nervously glances at him before answering the question, which he responds to with a knowing look.

I watched it again today and I love the way the facial expression of painted portrait of the old lady's deceased husband hanging above above the fireplace changes every time it's shown. It's a pretty good and funny movie even if it can't bat with the best of them.

In the movie Crank, Chev Chelios is poisoned with a cocktail that causes his heart to stop beating. To counter this, he keeps a constant flow of adrenaline rushing to his heart by doing various acts of mayhem throughout Los Angeles. At one point, he uses a defibrillator to reset his heart beat to normal. Then, he injects himself with like two grams of epinephrine! Anyway the subtle movie moment is that Dennis from Always Sunny is the doctor he gets to defib him.

KoRMaK posted:I'm watching Cabin in the Woods now. I realized something about the dome: it's to keep the Cthulhu or whatever main demon contained and from getting out into the whole world. The first time I watched the movie I thought that the end was the end of the World/Apocalypse, but maybe not since these monsters can't get out. Do I have to spoiler something like that? Yeah, it's a good use of the spoiler tags, but I think you're wrong about there being a dome.

Professor Shark posted:I didn't really interpret her character that way- yes, she makes predictions that "come true", but they're always tiger-rock situations that could just be coincidence. As evidenced by the Black and White Director's Cut version of the film, as well as interviews with Frank Darabont, the movie is intended to have a sort of Twilight Zone extended episode feel. Given this, the excessively dark ending and ironic interpretations of the actions of the characters make sense. Also, it's Thomas Jane, not James Purefoy.
