Loki_XLII posted:Just got back from seeing this, and I absolutely love it. What a gorgeous movie. I do worry, with the comparisons to Snowpiercer, people won't get it. Its relatively subtle I guess, but its heavily implied that the world outside is no picnic. We only get quick glimpses of it, but I got the feeling that its like 90% parking lots. Its like Mad Max if instead of the wasteland there was an endless parking lot. There's effectively no law enforcement, and I'm not sure society is really functioning at all anymore. Dr. Liang goes to work but it barely seems necessary, he seems to be going through the motions. I watched this as a double feature with Brazil, but it would probably go really well with Playtime as well. Basebf555 fucked around with this message at 15:04 on May 19, 2016 |

DrVenkman posted:I assume that no one leaves for the same reason that Laing doesn't: They can't help themselves. There's just *something* about life in the High Rise that keeps them there. I really don't think there's anything outside that people would want to go out for. From what we're shown its all a big parking lot with a few buildings sprinkled in. And this huge parking lot sea is a battleground that doesn't appear to be safe at all.

I got the sense watching the movie that a parking space was like a highly sought after resource, and figuring out where you parked your car and where to park it once you've returned home is a major issue. I imagined the world as 80% parking lot and 20% high rise buildings, with nothing from the natural world left to be seen anywhere. All that could be 100% wrong but I like that the movie gives you these little tidbits and lets you run with it.
