That movie was certainly ahead of its time on the whole brain cloud thing
…but why? (à la Ryan Reynolds in “Harold & Kumar Go to Whitecastle”) Some movies are one-and-done, and that is near the top of that list for me.
It’s more that it challenged me so much that the gut-wrenching horror has been burned into my memory to the extent that I don’t need to watch it ever again.
The reality was much worse. The movie was based on a short story written by “Seita” (Akiyuki Nosaka) as a fantasy, apologetic version of what actually happened, in that in the fantasy, he actually gave his starving sister some of his food, but in reality, he ate it himself:
There Will Be Blood is another one-and-done for me, for similar reasons; the human cost of human selfishness and greed. Also, the atonal, discordant soundtrack of TWBB is amazing, and fits the story perfectly, but is also really, really uncomfortable.
