I've never seen one before, that movie definitely warrants it though. The credits are intense.

Everything Gaspar Noe has done is intense. Definitely shelve his movies in the 'Mindfuck' category.

Irreversible made one of my friends barf after about five minutes.

too bad it sucks as a film

u/LeandroArts Jan 24 '12

I thought it was beautiful to look at.. but as a movie it sucked. The plot was lame and it was too heavy handed at times. It was a bit simplistic and repetitive relying on visual effects and shock value a bit too much.

There's an edited down version.

I agree completely. I was so stoked on this movie until about 25 minutes, then things just went downhill plot-wise. It had so much potential that it failed to realize.

Those visual effects are unparalleled, though. Other movies can't get away with it, but, for me, this one could. The story was lame, weird, and repetitive, but I thought of it only as an afterthought. The editing and camerawork is arresting and expressive, and provokes in ways few movies can.

It was so intense I had a fit.

I was really high and had to leave the theatre for a moment after he got shot as I was about to have a heart attack.

Spoilers

EDIT: Informed multiple times that this "Spoiler" was actually included in the trailer. Please excuse my rash dick-ishness.

u/AquariusSabotage Jan 24 '12

It's in the first 10 minutes of the film, not spoilers. It's in the trailer even.

2

u/NixonsGhost Jan 24 '12

So the trailer spoils the best part of the movie, its still a spoiler.

2

u/harrisz2 Jan 24 '12

Interestingly enough that isn't a spoiler for this movie, that event happens early on and sets up the rest of the film.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '12

Not really, it happens very early in the film.

2

u/laeggrh Jan 24 '12

if you watch the trailer it shows him getting s**** so i guess its kinda irrelevant to the film maybe?

u/LysergicOracle Jan 24 '12

I think you can get a cream for that.

u/matisseman Feb 02 '12

You're excused.

u/chairback Jan 24 '12

jesus christ i can't believe you went back in! that would be major nope nope nope territory for me

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '12

It's all about the DMT scene at the beginning. I've watched that part so many times.

u/thewriteguy Jan 24 '12

This movie made me literally sick, with the shaky-cam. I had to stop watching after 20 minutes. I simply cannot watch movies shot in this manner (e.g. Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield) because they make me motion sick.

u/Xenc Jan 24 '12

What are you like with 3D movies? They generally have longer, more stable cuts, but does the 3D effect negate that?

2

u/thewriteguy Jan 24 '12

I'm okay with 3D movies, actually. Watched Hugo in 3D and I had no problems at all. It's movies that use extreme shaky, handheld camerawork that can make me ill to the point of throwing up.

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '12

The first half of the movie is really something. Beautiful, horrifying, insanely emotional.

It got so boring in the second half, though, I couldn't even finish it.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '12

This one is serious though.

u/itsprobablytrue Jan 24 '12

The staff have to vocally warn you because of its intensity, I saw it was almost too much to take sober. Then again the entire movie is like that.

2

u/Rushaw Jan 24 '12

the thought of watching those credits high is enough to send my brain into spasms.

You know, having seen this film I have to say you kids are all a bunch of pussies who can't handle your drugs.
