I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
It’s my favorite film! But I understand it’s not an easy first watch.
It took me years to go back to it. I was taking a class in film narrative and remembered that weird movie I had seen years ago and suddenly I started getting the plot (what little I remembered).
I rewatched it and I was mind blown. There’s a reason it’s considered one of the biggest achievements in film.
I don’t like to smuggly say “it’s not for everyone”. But I’ll say it again, it’s not an easy watch at all. Hardly uncommon for David Lynch. The first time I watched it I didn’t understand what had happened but I always had this calling “there’s something there I missed”. If you feel that way read a bit about it and give it another shot.
My impression of the movie is that half is the “reality” happening while the other half is a sexual fantasy while she is masturbating. When she can’t get off the nightmare of her reality crushes her and she can’t go on. Its a movie that needs to be seen through a mind fog, like most David Lynch movies. Once you allow him to dictate the rules of how the movie is going to presented to you, then you see the beautiful things that he creates with film.
