June 22, 200619 yr Well let's get down to the real nitty gritty - who was sending the tapes??? I thought he was sending to him selves and I've read that theory backed with evidence but I've also heard that it was the Son because in the final shot he comes out of the school with the Arab's son (sorry - forgotton all the names now). Also, was there a problem with the subtitles for anyone elses' screening? At mine the subtitles weren't synched with who was saying what so it got a bit confusing at times. I wasn't too bad because I do French A Level but I know some people in the audience lost it big time when there was lots of dialogue like the dinner party.
June 22, 200619 yr Author I don't think it really takes a genius to be honest to understand what's been going on in France, it just takes an awareness of news and current affairs. I'm not French and Michael Haneke (the director and writer) is German. which was a bummer for that oscar. sad :cry:
June 22, 200619 yr Lol, just before you posted i deleted it realising it was a tad bitchy. No one has to restrain themselves, we all have our opinions, which is what makes us interesting. PS i hardly see how implying im an idiot is polite or civil Yeah, okay, my bad. It's just that you ended your original post with phrase "boy it sucked". Hardly an incisive piece of film criticism, and it was something of a red rag to a bull to me, so I apologise if I offended... It's cool that you say that you like Indie Cinema, but frankly, that expression has very little meaning anymore when you look at the facts that about 90-odd per cent of these so-called "indie" films these days have major studio backing.... You could easily make a claim that films like "Hostel" or "Saw" are Indie films because they come from independent production companies..... "Hidden" is more European Art House cinema - which is a totally different beast...
June 22, 200619 yr Author Now, now Russ, we'll have none of that here..... yeah we wont comment on her in this section till we have actually seen http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cb/From-justin-to-kelly.jpg
June 22, 200619 yr I think it was the sons working together after Majjid told his son of what happened when they were kids.
June 22, 200619 yr Well let's get down to the real nitty gritty - who was sending the tapes??? I thought he was sending to him selves and I've read that theory backed with evidence but I've also heard that it was the Son because in the final shot he comes out of the school with the Arab's son (sorry - forgotton all the names now). Both theories are pretty sound, the son hated his dad, so I wouldn't be surprised. But deep down, the Auteil character's own guilty conscience might have led him to do it. That certainly occurred to me....

June 22, 200619 yr Yeah, okay, my bad. It's just that you ended your original post with phrase "boy it sucked".

"Hidden" is more European Art House cinema - which is a totally different beast... Yes, i should have phrased it a lot better and been more constructive with my opinion, i was just short on time and personally felt like i'd wasted almost 2 hours of my life. I know what you mean about indie films, but i don't really know what to call real indie films....rindies? I also think it's cool that indie films are starting to get backing from studios, especially warner "classics" or whatever theyre calling themselves. yeah we wont comment on her in this section till we have actually seen http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cb/From-justin-to-kelly.jpg Lol, no one said she could act and she was forced to do that movie in her contract......*hangs head in shame for her* Edited June 22, 200619 yr by eliott256

June 22, 200619 yr Author Unfortunatley....yes, but i never said she was an actor and nor did she, however wouldnt be surprised if in a few years she lines up some more film projects. just like avril, Alicia Keys, P!nk, and all the other multi-taskers/MAWs :lol:
June 22, 200619 yr yeah we wont comment on her in this section till we have actually seen http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cb/From-justin-to-kelly.jpg NOOOO! PLEASE! Can we publicly execute Simone Cowell now.... please?
