As Animated films go I rate this as one of the top ones. I was actually about to download some music but caught this while passing the tv then was glued to the end.
Love the characters.

Fanny and Alexander (Ingmar Bergman, 1982)
I watched the five hour television version of this uninterrupted last night, and I remained awake until almost 5am in the morning, so great it was. A truly magnificent film, by far Bergman's best. Everyone should watch this for the 80s list and for 'films in general', it is worth it it.

Glorious seance you had, Daniel M! I'm going to be watching Berlin Alexanderplatz soon, as recommended by Harry Lime. I already have watched 3 hours of it, but now I'm not at home, so I can't finish it. It's still 12 hours to the end, but I'm loving it so far.

Anyway just finished watching this...
Right now I give it . It was weird, dark, depressing and too long I thought. I know a lot of people love it, but I didn't get anything, I didn't feel anything that the film was trying to say. I will have to watch it again sometime.

As much as I loved other Charlie Kaufman penned films, I had similar feelings about this one. Have you seen Being John Malkovich or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?

(new ratings scale, means "very good", so I can distinguish between all my movies by ratings, bad movies are rather homogeneous so they don't need distinguishing)

I don't like the ambiguity with numbers, I could recommend a 3 star to a person depending on the film but 3 stars might imply only better than average to some. It also brings up the case of, is a 5 only a film that could be considered one of the best of all time, or is it just a very good film relative to the current market or films of the same genre? Words express more.

True but ratings are easier.

I think I quoted the wrong post but I am too lazy to change. I think that SNY makes complete sense as a film and as a film in Charlie Kaufman's oeuvre (strange that he's considered an auteur as a screenwriter on his other films). The important things to consider with all of his films up until this most recent one are his status and directors. Before he could make a film like this, that stood no chance of being financially successful, he needed to accrue a sizable name for himself to secure funding. Film is the most costly of the arts it's sad to say. Being John Malkovich, weird as it is, is a more commercially viable product that was needed to establish Kaufman before he could be more daring. Also, SNY is the only film that he's directed, which makes a big difference. Directing a screenplay you didn't write is like translating the whole thing, and in Kaufman's case, the directors tended to normalize his films probably much more than the original screenplay was. When directing your own screenplay, the thoughts are directly onscreen and therefore more personal and more messy.
I think with Kaufman as a director he went extreme and created something more extreme, it's more weird, more dark, and more personal.
It's kind of a fitting point that actually, when added to what you say about preference for words over rating. I think its harsh to give the film a low rating right now, it's a film much better built for discussion and analysis, hence why I just gave it the middle rating for now, I can't give it any less or any more

If you didn't like it you should give a bad rating. Giving it points only because it is artsy is nonsense.
