Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
fedor8 "Hollywood has dumbed down audiences so much that they are ill equipped to react with anything but anger to any movie that challenges them to think."I completely agree with this statement. Once again a surreal movie gets undeserved hate, but this time from pseudo-intellectual "movie buffs" as well as the rabble. Because, ironically, film buffs have the worst taste in films, just as music "fans" who "listen" to 50,000 albums per year have no understanding of music.The only bigger drawback in BOTW I can find would be part of the premise: that a person with such sadistic and violent tendencies would actually feel a surge of guilt so overwhelming that it would drive them to alcoholism then suicide. That, of course, isn't impossible, but is more than a little far-fetched. But considering that liberalism has infiltrated and brainwashed most of the "Free" West (well, it used to be free until recently), it is no wonder that a westerner would choose to believe that truly evil people without guilt don't exist; the writer doesn't say as much, but he might subscribe to this idiocy, just as the vast majority of film-makers do. Most film-makers are detached from the real world, quite incapable of dealing with its ugliness, so they go into denial mode.Still, that's just a minor point in the grand scheme of all script-related things. The film has just the right mood to draw you in from the very beginning, making you suspect something weird is going on. Sure, the "it was all a dream" twist is hardly new, but this time the film openly tells you as much, fairly early on. It's not just about the twist anyway, the resolution (which is partly anyway open to personal interpretation), it's about being forced to face a challenging puzzle that is the antidote to any dumb Oscar-winning flick - or "Police Academy 5", whichever bores you more.Comparisons to David Lynch are flawed, because this movie does make sense, whereas his silly, overrated enigmas ("Lost Highway", "Mulholland Drive") make zero sense because they're amalgamations of random nonsense presented as meaningful, profound messages. This helps explain why snobs, hipsters and the masses hate films like this: the snobs don't consider it abstract enough (i.e. they prefer vague nonsense into which they can inject any subjective interpretation they wish to) and masses hate it because it confuses them. Hence the low ratings on movie sites.I'm a sucker for this "what's reality" type of fantasy drama. so maybe I'm not the one to be especially objective when I discuss them. Nevertheless, all "bias" aside, anyone with a smidgen of taste should recognize the film's obvious qualities.
kenysg I'm kinda disappointed... I was expecting a lot more from Jena Malone tbh... This film had A LOTTTTT more potential to be an interesting sci-fi-thriller with a new perspective in the psychological terror film era. The plot is legit one of the best I've seen in a long time within the thriller industry but the acting and the storyline was just lame and mediocre. They jump into conclusions without any reason and it seems like one of those children shows where they ask the TV about what's happening and reply themselves from nowhere. The cinematography is beautiful until certain point but still... the acting makes everything look stupid. Not even bad comedy stupid but bad produced "comedy" stupid.
jonidoeoes Just read the titles of the soundtracks from james clements in chronic order.
Jeffrey Burton It would be a cop out to call this movie 'Lynchian' even though it does have some similarities to 'Lost Highway'. "Bottom of the World' is a well written and well crafted work of surrealism in the form a mystery. The mood is set early on and maintained throughout and for as 'out there' as it gets it has a ending that makes perfect sense and is satisfying. This movie deserves a much higher score than it's being given. Hollywood has dumbed down audiences so much that they are ill equipped to react with anything but anger to any movie that challenges them to think. If you like movies by David Lynch, Ingmar Bergman and Fellini and Ryan Gosling's directorial debut 'Lost River', I would say you should check this out. I don't think the haters will ever get it so I wish they would just not watch it instead of trashing it with their rating. I give this movie a solid 8 but to up the average I added a point. There needs to be more movies like this.
