The poor sheilas were obviously taken by dingoes.*. Used to happen a lot. There's no great mystery there.Nor about whether the old sheila was writing about a real tragedy.or not. It's a story so old and often told that anyone who knows their bush-craft lore knows it inside out and knows 100 bloody percent just how true it is. Good on these film cobbers, but that title always threw me off. "Poms in the Outback", that's what it should have been called. Then people would've had half an idea what it was about and might've gone to see it. * If it wasn't dingoes, it must have been Marina Abramovic, who's about 190 and is known to have spent many moons hanging around big rock formations in the Outback, doing "installation art" of the type that could definitely make use of four virgins if they were wandering about loose.

This is just more of Kermode over compensating regarding Rian Johnson and some of the reactionary response towards The Last Jedi. If it weren't for some of the admittedly unwarranted reaction to it from from the ''anti-woke'' crowd (though The Last Jedi isn't some misunderstood masterpiece either) I doubt he'd describe Rian Johnson as one of his ''favourite directors'' lol. It's sort of the way he argued for the Twilight movies because of vicious reaction towards them. The Fly is a nothing episode. Kermode is really reaching with his analasis. It's not like every other episode didn't reveal the ''inner demons'' of the characters. Rian Johnson did direct Ozymandias though but even so, most of the credit should go to the writers as they tend to be the brains behind TV shows whereas directors have more creative control on movies. Which is also to say that I don't particularly blame Johnson for Fly. Just enough of the 'Rian Johnson is a misunderstood genius' nonsense 😂

Lol @ comment on European culture dropped down. What do these people expect. We are (or were) predominately European. Do they expect us to live in humpies and dig holes to sht? We also have a written language - was that okay? Still amazes me people making comments like that as if we should have all gone ‘native’. By the way Helen all lands are ancient. The first person that built such a house in Europe was building something in an ancient land in a style not seen before.

Есть гениальные режиссёры и их произведения кинематографа. А этот фильм не за пределами книги, а просто за пределами самого кинематографа, чем-то большим получился.И нужно такое мастерство и тонкое восприятие, чтобы создать мягкую и нежную атмосферу сна, мечты, сливающейся и неотличимой от жизни,так что уже непонятно где мы, и что это-всё то, что окружает?..

When they talked of the beautiful quality of the filming thru bridle vail material I was thinking how hideous high definitions filming is so ugly. Everything is harsh and the color brightness is saver and not real. It is so unpleasant to watch and the subject matter is equally harsh and only saws the worst of humanity. Everything has lost it's beautify when modern technology gets its hands on it.

This film is a masterpiece that hasn't aged in 45 yrs! A clear depiction of the alien abduction phenomenon portrayed subtley, ethereally & mysteriously. Some of the characters are adamant & fearful but the girls are not. They are simply drawn magnetically & unquestionably to the sacred rocks. Beautiful, gorgeous & important movie to watch again & again.

Ch 17 was published as a slim volume in early 1985 after the author’s passing. You used to be able to buy it in the store at the Rock. Perhaps someone can tell us if that’s still the case.

I can see how people who saw and loved the original theatrical version would be annoyed with Weir's Directors cut and really both versions should be sold. I tend to think Weir's shorter cut is the better movie though, was another scene of poor Irma being tortured and interrogated for answers really need? or a very minor characters emotional breakdown in church? they tend to be scenes where we're now getting beaten over the head with the mental toll the mystery had taken on Michael and the schoolgirls, we more effectively capture that turmoil in other scenes.
@lw3646 Жыл бұрын
I don't know, I thought it brought a nice layer of romance to the film for them to have that brief time together, it makes Michael's exit from the film better explained too. In the director's cut he just sort of vanishes which seems a bit abrupt, though you could argue he felt by then he'd done all he could. It also seems kind of natural that she would wish to thank him and that he would later ask what happened as he was so desperate to know. The fact we don't see her reply may mean there's so many different ways a person can view that scene where suddenly they are not looking at each other and he says he's going away, was he upset by what she did reveal, was he upset she couldn't remember like him, or was that always the plan he'd go North? We also see Albert get slightly overlooked too, up to that point Albert seemed to be doing pretty well for himself and seems to more than hold his own, but you sort of see the social class barrier go up when he has to talk to Irma and the teacher in that scene he has, once Irma sets her eyes on Michael Albert becomes an afterthought. Though again you could argue Michael was the one more invested in the rescue so deserved more credit.
