Absolutely disappointing rehash of the first trilogy. Disney had a real opportunity to do something new and exciting with this ipr but resorted to rushed writing with an extremely compressed story that makes no sense and fails to make anyone care for the characters or events. Emo Kylo is an outstanding metaphor for the whole deal.
They made a 2 hour movie from a 90 min story.
To long and gets boring pretty fast.
The visuals/cinematographic aspects of this film are excellent and really show imagination and push the film in the direction where it is meant to go. However, the characters are nearly all complete pieces of shit who I don't care about in the slightest. The main guy has absolutely no presence at all, which may or may not be intentional but it's still irritating and if it was intentional then it failed miserably at sucking me into his position. Paz De La Huerta plays these annoying bitchy characters far too well. The French guy is actually pretty cool but he's only in like 30 minutes of the movie. The philosophy that this movie centers around is the most pretentious bullshit imaginable. I'm no prude but the sex scenes in this movie are absurd and could have been done in a million better ways. There are also certain things that this movie does that are overly irritating. Yeah I get it, the strobe lights and that disgusting abortion scene are supposed to irritate me but they just go too far and those goddamn car crash simulations are practically giving me PTSD.
Long story short, I respect the imagination, directing talent, and effort that Enter the Void showcases but I fucking hate this movie. Oh, and the best part is the Beginning credits
What a crazy movie! You have to be on something to enjoy it.
I originally became interested in this because i remembered a news article about that the actor Shelley Malil (In the movie he is the father of the girl that gets deported with her mother for being a "terrorist") received life in prison for the attempted murder of his girlfriend, and this was his last movie. I know its kind of a weird way to find a movie you want to watch, but there it is.
This movie has a very powerful cast of different people. They play the roles of Mexican, Korean, Palestinian, Israeli, Australian and Persian. And they all have one goal in mind: to become an American citizen and live the American dream. They all have their own way of getting there, and while some succeed, some also fail. Their stories interweave and connect with each other.
Personally i would never move to the USA, but i can see the appeal for people in third world countries that the USA has. The question is: what would you sacrifice to become an American citizen? And what would you sacrifice in order to give your loved ones a fighting change in the land of "endless opportunities"? This movie tries to answer those questions, and in my opinion did that very well.
