Do movies ever affect you?
« on: April 29, 2008, 09:20:41 AM »
I remember watching "Midnight express" and "The deer hunter" on 16mm projector at home as a kid and both affected me (My parents did not worry too much about age restrictions)
Especially the part in the Deer hunter where the VC find all the woman and children hiding under a straw mat in a hole so he throws a grenade in.

I am legend for some reason also gave me weird dreams and left me thinking about the movie over and over, especially where he kills his dog.

I know they are only movies but still................... ....

In the movie "The First Power" (I think) was a scene where a crazy old witch-like lady spun around up into the air while cackling at Lou Diamond Phillips.

The night I watched it in a dream I woke up in the bed I was in and looked over at the bedroom door.  The witch lady was lying on the floor half in and half out of the room and looking at me and cackling.

I had to pee.  I went and woke up my room mate and said "I have to go to the bathroom!"  He was kind of confused and said, "OK, go ahead." 

I said, "Make sure no one gets me!"  He was like, "Huh?  No one is going to get you."

Midnight Express affected me too - it seriously made me never want to go to Turkey, or to smuggle drugs in any foreign country for that matter.

Vanilla sky drew some nasty parallels to my own life at the time of it's release.  It left me uneasy for months and I won't watch it to this day.

Cinderella Man almost makes me cry like a little bitch everytime I see it.

The Mist, the Hills Have Eyes, and Hostel left me disgusted with thier entirety.. especially the ending of the Mist.

Transformers was awesome all around.. still gives me goosebumps.

Yes. Some such as Collateral reinforce my latent sociopathic tendencies.

I've started that movie twice but never finished it.  Right about the time Morgan Freeman takes the fall I usually tune out.

It's a question you will be asking yourself... what would you do or what would be best  :-\?

Calmus, you need to finish it... It's not what it seems...

Didn't care for the movie much, but I agree a difficult question at the end.

The effects can be different.  For example, what kid doesn't watch a Rocky movie and then run an extra time around the block or do an extra pushup while the music plays in his head?

I remember when JAWS came out.  Going in the water was a little different.  You were constantly looking around.  Also, the movie Million Dollar Baby was frickin sad and I can't watch that one.

When the original Amityville horror came out in 70's.  Scary stuff for a kid.  That and The Exorcist and The Omen.

American Beauty.  Everything about this movie was just.......so wrong.  The title isn't even appropriate and actually should be the opposite.

Another great movie is Eyes Wide Shut.  I was in disbelief that Hollywood even made this.
