  12. That is badass. Describe the movie? I am always down for a thinker.
     
  13. Meet The Robinsons
    It teaches a lesson to move forward without expecting
     
  14. Angels and Demons, Art of the Devil 2 and Inception are the movies that made me think much. Since the plot of the story is a bit mysterious.
     
  15. Heres the summary:

    SPOILERS

    Theater director Caden Cotard is mounting a new play. Fresh off of a successful production of Death of a Salesman, he has traded in the suburban blue-hairs and regional theater of Schenectady for the cultured audiences and bright footlights of Broadway.

    Armed with a MacArthur grant and determined to create a piece of brutal realism and honesty, something into which he can put his whole self, he gathers an ensemble cast into a warehouse in Manhattan's theater district. He directs them in a celebration of the mundane, instructing each to live out their constructed lives in a small mockup of the city outside.

    As the city inside the warehouse grows, Caden's own life veers wildly off the tracks. The shadow of his ex-wife Adele, a celebrated painter who left him years ago for Germany's art scene, sneers at him from every corner. Somewhere in Berlin, his daughter Olive is growing up under the questionable guidance of Adele's friend, Maria. And a mysterious condition is systematically shutting down each of his autonomic functions, one by one.

    As the years rapidly pass, Caden buries himself deeper into his masterpiece. Populating the cast and crew with doppelgangers, he steadily blurs the line between the world of the play and that of his own deteriorating reality.


    It sounds really shitty, but it's really good. :) :hello:








     
  16. Tron: Legacy :smoke:

    It's not exactly well-written (much of the dialogue is rather clumsy), but it introduces many interesting concepts & ideas that are rather intriguing.
     
  17. waking life and into the wild for sure
     
  18. Matrix for me.
