Yes, and I've hardly seen any of them. This explains why so much of it made little sense to me! It was all visceral. the re-using actors from old films to play new characters (which is where you might've seen Jorge)
Must be, though I've seen very few old movies compared to most people. I'll just keep on trying to remember - or maybe I'll stumble across it and say, "Oh, that's the one." It's a very strong impression but I can't pin it down.
That's the only way you can look at it I think, because once you start doing body counts it gets really gruesome and horrifying.
Yes: I tend to see things through words and intellectual impressions, and it was grueseome and horrifying. At the same time, the abstract beauty of horror/music/pictures/humour was getting through to me. That made it a fairly confusing, fairly gruelling experience, but oddly worthwhile.
Robert has boiled everything down to pure action in this film.
That's it! I don't handle "pure action" very well. But it's good for me to try, sometimes. The movie almost plays like rock ‘n roll. The violence is all choreographed.
Those sentences in juxtaposition are very interesting. Violence as a music vid. Why does it make me detached rather than involved?
