Mandy Discussion

There is something going on in film today which I kind of refer to as "The Tyranny of Perfection", which is that on a craftsman level everything needs to be seen as utterly precise and perfect or seen as a failure. I kinda like rough edges on things you know? Sometimes I will just allow those to exist and I find those more beautiful in a way

"Oh, man. They wronged you."

My favourite film of the year so far.

Re: Mandy Discussion
 

Ive decided to give this movie another go. I have a feeling my review will be a lot different.

Re: Mandy Discussion
 

For me it's the most overhyped mediocrity of the year this far.

Ima anti mandy

Re: Mandy Discussion
 

It's no Predator, that's for sure. Woulda been a lot better with a M-134 and some sexual Tyrannosaurusness.



It's definitely over-hyped by people who can't explain stuzz :yup: .

I need to see it alone this time, and with no beer. It isnt a party hang out movie. That was my misstep. I believe Ill still have my criticisms, but Im hoping I can dredg up more treasure this time.

So true, I tried watching this movie in the wrong head space at the wrong time of day and couldn't do it... then I watched it really chill at midnight and I was totally absorbed

Meidocrity?

wow.

I hesitate to really post in here. Guess I'll try to be nice as I can so I don't get beat up too much. As I said in the shoutbox I thought this was pretty average. I'd give it a . I watch a fair amount of movies and I turned Mandy off the first time I tried to watch it. It just wasn't doing "it" for me. After seeing so many talk about it tho, I finished it off the second time around and got about what I expected.


Iro got me thinking the other day tho when he brought up The Crow. I was thinking that maybe The Crow is my Mandy and that's just the way it is. Maybe I'm incapable of loving another revenge flick as much as I love The Crow. And now for some of you, Mandy is your The Crow. Which is cool I reckon.

I want to like Mandy. That was my position going in. I was super psyched, and had been looking forward to this movie for a little while. I cannot say that about a lot of more current films. My expectations were geared for soemthing different. After seeing it I was very obnoxious about my review, though, I may very well still be upset after round two. Can't say. But, because it started off so incredibly, and because I'm all about second chances (sometimes third - The Master), I'm looking forward to giving it another chance, now that I know it's not Evil Dead II/Army of Darkness/Nic Cage's most over the top performance ever by the visualist who gave us Beyond the Black Rainbow.

That's why yogi's always say expectations are killers of happiness. But we'll see how that philosophy holds up after I do a little cbd oil vape the next time, Ah said uh!

Re: Mandy Discussion
 

Second viewing and I ****ing loved it.

Much better option than beer

She gets it.

I watched Mandy last month and really enjoyed it.
for me.
It reminded me that I've wanted to see Beyond the Black Rainbow for years but it just hasn't been available anywhere. Pity.

Re: Mandy Discussion
 

I love everything about this movie, is probably the best movie I've saw in ten years, not joking. I've saw it four times, and I don't want to watch it again, because I'm afraid it might lose it's magic. I can understand why people don't like it, I really do. I love the way it gradual increases the intensity of everything in it. The color palette, the metal opera, the explicit violence and the use of some short of "tranquilized insanity" like hypnotic. This movie is near perfection because it doesn't aim at perfection.

Re: Mandy Discussion
 

I agree entirely. In fact, your words here are nearly my exact words in my Amazon review. I regretted watching this movie and loathed everything about it. I've been told that I don't like it because I "don't get it"...God I hope I never do.
