    Movies That You Didn't Get

    As in I don't get it. Two for me are The Game and Inside Man. For The Game, we learn at the end that it is a game, but why does Michael Douglas's character think that it's funny?

    And in Inside Man, what was the point of Jodie Foster's character? I saw it twice and I can't figure it out.

    If any of you movie fans have answers for me, I'd really appreciate it. How about for you? What were some movies that you didn't get?

    I always felt that Michael Douglas' reaction was one of relief it was all over rather than happiness.

    Yeah, gotta agree with Phil about the Game. I have seen that movie many, many times. Must have missed the part where Michael Douglas had a good laugh though. There were several things about that movie that didn't make sense. But that wasn't one of them.

    A better example would be: How did they know he was going to shoot his brother? How were they so certain he was going to then jump off the building?

    Re: Movies That You Didn't Get

    And how did they know which side of the building he'd jump from?

    Not that I don't "get it" but I just can't understand why so many people rave about Shawshank Redemption. What a dull, predictable, utterly formulaic prison film.

    That 'Revolver' Guy Ritchie's last film before 'Rocknrolla'. What the fuck was that all about ?

    I don't think even Ritchie knows the answer to that one.

    So Guy Ritchie is actually known for being anything other that Madonna's boy toy?

    in the original ending he was his brother.

    Revolver is about kabbalah apparently, i swtiched it off after half an hour.



    Although I understood the film 12 Monkeys, it was pointless, if they knew at the end who let out the virus why didn't they just go back and kill him when he was a baby?

    Yeah, the Jodie Foster character in Inside Man is pretty much redundant, except someone has to know the 'secret' so Denzel can find out about it.

    Donnie Darko....WTF?

    I like most David Lynch movies but I didn't get mulholland drive (seemed like he was trying to 'out-lynch' himself in that one).


    I don't get adam sandler movies - like, are they meant to be comedies or something?
