Why does it really matter what I like?

You want a reason, here it is:

I couldn't pick it from the start, good for you, you are smarter than me, I believed it was extremely clever, it was original, creative, unexpected and was at some points scary.

The film is a masterpiece, the colours, everything about it is just fantastic. Look at the way the red is saturated, it's almost like blood, it is freaky.

And the acting is sensational. It is original, creative and touching. The character played by Adrian Bordy (Noah Percy) is exactly how those people act, and I know because my cousin has the same problem, and they cannot talk, they cannot write, they act like children and they want attention, they don't know right from wrong and that is exactly what Adrian Brody does here.

Pheonix and Howard are great, although Pheonix could have done more he still played his part very well. This film has one of the most memorable quotes, listen to when Pheonix and Dallas are speaking on the porch, it is fantastic.

The twist just hits me, it is very original, and you couldn't have picked it from the start, there no evidence of it, it is completely unexpected. You probably say "i figured it out" but really you just took a wild stab and said "yeah, i bet it's in present time, and not set in 1897". You wouldn't have picked the real twist: "the village is an extremely large piece of land privately owned by the Village elder HUNT who purchaes this land with money his father donates. He and other elders meet at a couciling centre, here they feel for each other as each member has lost someone in their lives. After the idea is explained that the members can start their own Village to avoid the harsh reality, HUNT and the other elders move into the Village for a peaceful life, and in an attempt to keep their offspring in, they lie about frightening creatures that reside in the woods, however, the ousiders, unaware of the village mind you, believe that it is a 'wild animal sanctuary', and as HUNTS father is so rich, he has tipped off the government so no aircraft can fly over the Village." If you did pick the twist in exactly those words instead of "i bet it is set in 2004", I would be extremely impressed. But that is the twist, oh yeah, and let's not forget the other so many twists... remember? That the beasts are human... no wait, they are real... oh no, that's just that mentally challanged guy.

The film is very original, and very touching, it is sad, and very clever, for example, the Village is pointless... not the film, the actually Village, just read the newspaper at the end. And how the beasts are the elders, how the Adrian is a beast, how he dies, how he lays there, how he is upset, it's touching, you don't know what to think or how to think for him.

Put yourself in the Village's shoes would you, that's what you are meant to do in situations like this. Watch the film, think about how they would feel with red cloacked beasts roaming through their town, you would absolutly sh!t yourself. And don't say you wouldn't, because right now you have a fear, it may be of say a snake, and what if you grew up and finally realised after about 30 years, that snakes are not real?

After watching it I couldn't stop talking about it for weeks, it was fantastic, and I liked it, a lot of people did not, and I don't care, good for them, and they say "i picked the twist", wow, you're really good, how about you go and enjoy the film instead of trying to work it out, and even if you could how does that make you any better?

I don't care, the film isn't just driven by its ending, it has very many different elements to it that people need to appreciate, but unfortunatly do not. People like you, and many others, just assume it suckes because you don't like the ending or believed it was predictable, where in actual fact it is completely surprising. There is more to a film than just an ending, and I liked this one a lot. Out of all of MNS's films this is the best, followed by The sixth sense, unbreakable and signs.

And for all those who say "it's a load of rubbish, it is so FAKE" then what the hell did you expect? You knew BEFORE you went into the cineama that it would be about Monsters and beasts.... are monsters and beasts real? Hell no, so what makes it any different? That it didn't turn out the way you wanted it? Well hell, if you could make a better film why don't you go and do so, I mean god, this guy got millions for this film, if you could do better, if you could have a better twist then why not write your own "village"?

Enjoy it for what it is, not for what it isn't. But hey, if you don't like it, that's respectable. I just don't like people who don't respect my opinion on a film that I liked a lot because they thought it was crap.

That is my opinion on the film.

 

[Virgo]

well it's really discussable but the Village is certainly no masterpiece.

But mind you that there are people here that put Home Alone 2 and Bad boys in their lists so... that's not so bad

I agree with you on Goldfinger as the best Bond, but The Birds is one of my least favourite Hitchcocks - I would rate The 39 Steps and Psycho way above it.
