Author Topic: Saw (2004 - LGF) Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 11-13-2004 03:15 PM                        You know I actually liked this one. I say this again because I am not any of the following group that apparrently you have to be in order to enjoy it... College Student Teenager Horny Teenager Horny Adult Phil Unsophisticated Freddy Krueger Fan Mr. Rogers Fan Porno Fan Phil As evidence that I am in fact sophisticated, I offer that I have season tickets to Ballet West in Utah, one of the most premier Ballet companies in the world. I take my nine year old daughter with me, and we both thoroughly enjoy every moment. As evidenced that I am not horny, I am still very fertile and hate to use protection, and my youngest daughter is nine years old. As evidenced that I am not phil, my porno collection consists mainly of pictures of cartoon caracters. Oh wait, maybe that means I might be phil. Whats the qualifier on that one? ***SPOILERS*** I did really enjoy the film. It had serious flaws yes, and there was a thousand ways to improve the film, such as hiring actors, and even a director would have been a nice change of pace. It also should have been played out in chronological order, and in a very short 24 hour period. the whole time we would be in and out of the bathroom with our victims, and the rest of the time we follow the cops on the trail of the killer as they find victim after victim all in one day. It would all fit in considering that the killer is dying of brain cancer, and it should have been worked in about how pissed he was at the world AND his doctor. This is by no means a rip on anyone... however, it is often said in the review forums that only certain types could enjoy such and such a film... the intended effect I am sure is not to make people feel off or anything, but it does have an effect on others.... so here is my opinion on why someone might enjoy one of the so called idiodic films that only and imbecile could love... My level of enjoyment of film does not come from how perfect it is, but rather from if I can find a way to enjoy what its intentions are, forget the total screwups. The story was in itself not bad, infact it was a very good story, but it was approached all wrong and done very wrong, and acted very badly. However, I saw the movie for what it wanted to be, not what it ended up bieng. Stupid I am not. The stupid people were the ones who laughed and mocked out loud at the bad acting and inopportune moments, considering that if they felt they had been robbed of their money, that robbing the rest of the audience of thier experience is not appropriate nor acceptable. People like these are spoiled children with low intellegence. They really feel that people want to hear what they have to say. Last time I checked, nowhere on my ticket did is say admittance to a movie AND A SHOW BY JERKOFF AND ASSMUNCH!!! Ok rant off.... sort of... Not all those who enjoyed it did so because they were stupid.. some did so because they actually took the effort to find something to enjoy about it. That my friends, takes intellegence. Intelligence is not how smart you are, it is in fact just a factor of two key areas of the human experience. The ability to comprehend, and the ability to adapt. ciao baby! dave  |  IP: Logged Tom Simcoe Film Handler Posts: 9 From: Hamilton New York Registered: Nov 2004 posted 12-20-2004 03:23 AM                     Saw was awesome. It was over played in the one scene because they were trying to trick the guy watching through the camera. Thats why you thought that, it was suppose to look fake a dumb-whitted... but I loved the movie. It makes you think alot about everyday situations and everything. If you didn't like this movie... you should check to see if you're looking at it the right way or not. Because if you didn't then you have a problem. Just my opinion.  |  IP: Logged
