I was curious, there seems to be a somewhat strong resurgence of "adult" films as of late, and no, I don't mean XXX or skin flicks.
"Door in the Floor", "The Human Stain", "Closer", "Dogville", "We Don't Live Here Anymore" and "Birth".
Can you guys, mostly people between the ages of 16-24, actually get into these, or do you do as I usually do and just glance them over at the rental store? I just don't care to see peoples marital infidelity, impotence, and other issues, played out in a film.
I agree Cory. I don't watch films to see people's problems. There are enough problems in real life for me not to have to go watch other people's that most of the time are fictional stories anyways. I'm very picky when it comes to Dramas.
i can get into em (i'm 21), in fact i just finished watching closer (but not in the cinema), it amazes me that people will watch these movies, if they can make these then that means anyone who'd had a shit life can write a screenplay and make millions...
I actually saw Dogville and Door In The Floor, and they were horrible. But I'll look into Closer, I've heard it was good. Besides, I'm a Natalie Portman fan.
You have to have the right mindset to watch them. Say, Wednesday nights with a lot of time on your hands. Then, you might be surprised that they're actually good (sometimes).
I say they are pointless and stupid.Beside watching that stuff there are other ways of enjoying one self.JM

Sometimes what you say really makes me shake my head Jackie. A well written, well acted, and well shot movie is a good movie no matter what the subject. That being said, perhaps you don't enjoy movies with more complex or mature story lines or themes because you have not matured to the point to which you can understand them.
These movies aren't just about "marital infidelity, impotence, and other issues", they are also about how people handle (or don't handle) these issues.

They are "adult" themed, that's why I referred to them as such, and it's a VERY acquired taste to enjoy 3 HOURS of "Dogville". I pointed out the irony once before in the fact that it's "art" with nothing to look at. It's commendable that its character driven, but the story is just so blaise, that I couldn't care less for anyone involved.
The "payoff", after 2 hours and 55 minutes of wondering what's going to happen was pathetic and insulting.
