The Lone Ranger and Her
Archimago at 7-27-2014 12:03 am
When I first saw the trailer for Lone Ranger, I thought it would be worthless. Riding a horse on top of a train-stupid. Riding a horse inside of a train-stupid. Johnny Depp as Tonto-stupid.
I just watched it. I like it. All those things I mentioned are indeed stupid, but they are perfect for this movie. The story slowly introduces the bizarre, so that when the William Tell Overture finally plays, you are willing to accept anything.

I knew Her was going to be unique. I think it's the best sci-fi since Moon. Sci-fi to me means something specific. The science is just a framework to explore the human condition. Her explores what it is to be human, to love, and to lose love. The closest I can think of to compare it to is Blade Runner without the action.

I think "Her" was indeed a unique movie, but I wasn't floored after finishing it. I think the ending bothered me a little and the entire premise felt a little uncomfortable for me (can't really explain why). I'd say I much preferred "Moon."

Have you guys seen "Enemy"? Also, speaking of "Moon" and "Enemy" - what about "Oblivion"? I'm not going to spoil too much about any of those, but there is a common thread... ...
