I honestly don't see all the hype behind the movie, but I enjoy it.
I was going to watch Jin Roh and I was really excited to, but then I realized that my copy was completely untranslated with no dubs or subtitles, so I switched to the Machinist. My god, that movie was intense. The whole time I felt fairly uneasy about the whole ordeal (I felt connected to the main character, because I'm skinny and white trash) and I honestly didn't enjoy the flick until it started getting near the end and it finally tied everything together. A few questions, spoilers:
So who was Ivan? I'm assuming he's a completely made up character, but what the hell is he supposed to represent?
Oh, and I accidentally acquired a whole fuckton of movies, a decent part of which seems good. I'll probably start with a Fist full of Dollars and move onto 5 Centimeters per Second then probably Dr. Strangelove and somewhere in there I'll fit in Good fellas and the Godfather.
