it just felt so pointless. it didn't make me care about any of the characters, the visuals were moronic, the plot and i suppose the world were the only somewhat interesting things
>the mask scene from the poster
stupid. it looked and felt like it was made for tge trailer. it added nothing >beyond the black rainbow sequence
what? >the wiener shot
silly, made her look unprofessional, as if it was her first time in a dude's body >all violence scenes
literally the only decent one which didn't feel gratuitous was the final one, with the kid. rest of them either felt too long or uninteresting
You don't like movies just for their style, or you just don't understand style, that's fine, the movie's not for you, but it doesn't mean it's universally dogshit. And don't watch Beyond the Black Rainbow, you won't like it.
Each to their own. I enjoyed that scene. It illustrated well (to me) the guy trying to recalibrate/reset the neural link issue.
I've watched some crap horror films over the years but never thought to "skip heavily through scenes" as you put it.
you know, those things through which the audience is supposed to feel engaged with the narrative, world, visuals. I don't really see the point of your question
it was the first thing i watched by him, with there being only 2 films under his belt and all. i went in knowing only that i really enjoy his father's work
Should have watched Thor: Love and Thunder instead
why are you even in this thread if all you want to do is shit it up you moron. just admit to yourself that you're nothing but a waste of air and you'll never give meaning to anything in your life. accept it, then have a nice day
Now you know what to expect. At least I hope you watched the Uncut version.
i did, i wanted to make sure i give it a good chance
No it was good. Not ground braking but good.
Better than any slop way more acclaimed directors like Spielberg or Snyder have put out throughout their careers.
evidently, so dogshit it can't even be discussed here. thanks guys
>I come to Cinemaphile to discuss le movies!
I wouldn't go that far, it was OK at worst
It was pretty bad. Cronenberg is coasting on reputation at this point.
wrong cronenberg dumbass
I liked it. Obviously a mix of ideas taken or outright plagiarized from everywhere, but solidly made, provocative enough and with strong imagery.
name one good scene.
have a nice day

All violence scenes, the wiener shot, the beyond the black rainbow sequence, the mask scene from the poster.

did you watch the black phone?
No. As a matter of fact, Possessor was the last "new" I saw in years.
ah, fair enough. i suppose you're right, i might just not understand style. i appreciate the discussion and your input, at least
Maybe you simply weren't in the mood. Based on my experience, feeling relaxed and calm can drastically enhance your perception of cinema.
>name one good scene
i have no idea why but this just looked cheap and i was bored out of my brain by this scene so i skipped through it heavily

What is a character? Some kind of network of associations, like mother, sister daughter, wife, girlfriend etc?
you know, those things through which the audience is supposed to feel engaged with the narrative, world, visuals. I don't really see the point of your question
Considering the movie's genre and the director's style/aesthetics, what type of movie did you expect? It's a body horror/scifi movie made for adults.
it was the first thing i watched by him, with there being only 2 films under his belt and all. i went in knowing only that i really enjoy his father's work
perhaps you should have a nice day

i liked the scene where she had a boner
You plebs disgust me, Possessor is a 9/10
Yeah. It was popular when it came out because audiences are morons.
Better than most of daddy cronenburg stuff. Perfect update on the bleak wave of sci fi from the 70s .
8/10
Kino
I haven't finished it but when I turned it off, nothing had happened yet, which is typical of elevated horror
