A room with a view 1985 trailer

No double standard here. I still maintain that Doms comment was not a personal attack, merely a statement that he knows full well the difference between his and your taste in movies. Oh thats right. Im sure Dom has seen all the movies I like. Actually, I doubt hes seen even 5% of them. Its thus patronising of him to assume he understands my taste. What youre really saying is that Dom can criticise the movies I like because he doesnt know what hes talking about so Im umlikely to take offense. Whereas if I attack his taste in movies, because Ive seen the films he likes and am coming from a more informed perspective, my comments are more likely to be upsetting, because they are more likely to be true!! Well tough the truth hurts. Location: Lawrenceville, GA Whoa, I thought this was a suggestion thread, not a debate. Anyway, I want to reiterate my point. Dancer is an overall good film, depending on your taste. Personally, my only problem with it is is that it seems uneven. It seemed like a drama but really is more of an experiment in genre and dogme95 technique. Ater watching the DVD supplementsI did buy the film myself, so I do think of it as a worthwhile watch, I think this is how von Trier feels about the film himself. Ill admit there is more compassion in this film compare to most modern fare, but it is overshadowed by the experimental nature of the film. To some who may not be observing the film more closely, this may look like von Trier is mocking the drama in the film, which I dont fell he set out to do. So Redux, if youre still on the fence about getting the film, I think you should really think about type of things you look for in watching a film. If youre about experimentation, then I think you will enjoy Dancer. If youre not into experimental filmmaking, or are more interested in the drama of the situation, then this may be an uncomfortable watch. It will be smart of you to rent first. Why is it that every time Maha gets into a thread, it becomes a Maha VS everyone debate. MV Your general comments about the trash that mainstream Hollywood puts out and your campaigning for art film give everyone a good idea of what your taste is. Therefore, Dom saying if you like it then he will not is a safe assumption. That is a fact you have made VERY clear in the forum. So dont get all deffensive if someone makes a comment on your taste in film. Adjuster the future, if you are unhappy with a response by a member of the forum, email a mod or admin and let us deal with any problems. That is why we are here. It is not a good thing to flame a forum member, even if you believe they diserve it. Thank you both for your co-operation. Rather than question the wisdom, question your own lack of understanding! Seeing as I started this post, I now want to have it closed!! Thanks to everyone who gave their opinions on Dancer in the Dark. Ill rent it first before buying. Im sorry for those of you involved in the slanging match that seemed to crop up every reply or two. Not what I intended! Maybe somewhere else is best for that sort of thins, or not at all?! Personal tastes aside, Im looking forward to seeing Dancer, if only to see why it has got you all so ANGRY with each other! Message to the administrators, I think you can close this post soon!! Thanks! chlngr, you say that my taste in film is clear because I do not like Hollywood product. This is as if to say there are Hollywood films, which 99% of people prefer, and then there are art films which only Maha and a few of his friends But this a gross and ridiculous simplification. For example, some here are warning of the experimental nature of Dancer, yet the film could equally well be criticised for being too mainstream, for using a conventional narrative, for being manipulative, shallow and not detatched enough from its characters. Ive seen many people use these arguments, just because no-one puts them forward here doesnt mean they dont exist.
