I'll cut right to it. This movie is getting praise that only Mother Theresa should have gotten when she died (which she didn't because it all went to Princess Diana...tisk tisk...no one wants to talk about a bag of bones when you have a nice piece of ass, fast cars and drunk drivers...lol).
Browsing IMDB people where saying things like "This movie Physically affected me..."
WTF, really!? That must have been written by someone who hasn't been laid in god knows how long. I watched it. I was actually hoping for something Original, something amazing.
In the end I came out more envious that this Film director (clever man indeed ;-) had fooled everyone into buying into this load of shit.
This movie is very interesting though because it has to deal with every aspect of what being an Alpha Male is all about. Basically, you DO NOT ever want to act like the Male lead character in this movie. This should be a "how not to ever act when you have a girlfriend" lesson.
Obviously for movie purposes it was hyped up with ghosts and haunted shit but seriously, don't ever act like Micha the dumbass who let his own girl friend stab him (something, after seeing the constant mistakes Micha kept making, he pretty much deserved)
Reasons why you shouldn't ever act like Micha:
1. Because you Will end up with a fate far worse than the one he got in the film.
And that its lol. At least he died.
In reality what will happen is that his girlfriend would soon realize that she was dealing with a total wuss bag that she can bend to her every whim and eventually dump his ass or even worse, cheat on him with a more dominant Male (or this in case, the ghost...I bet that ghost was getting her to suck him off etc...lol).
And this has nothing to do with the actual ghost situation. That was just for entertainment part. If you look deeper you'll see that this couple is one of very stereo typical settings. Boyfriend and Girlfriend living together. They love each other alot. But only after minutes of watching you realize that the boyfriend has no control of the relationship. It's all Katie. Micha is simply along for the ride. He's a provider and the amount of sex we saw them having in the film (which was zero) is probably the only Non Fictional part...you know, where they say shit like "based on real events...." lol.
Some examples of where Micha fucked up (and I know it was a movie script, I'm simply doggin the director for writing a male character who was a total dumbass chode...it's bullshit and terrible writing at that...)
And yes, Micha only has himself to blame for getting shanked the way he did at the end of the flick. The signs were all there....shit, he even recorded it on a video camera and rewatched it. True be told there are many men out there like this. Shit is right in front of them and they can't even see it (I'm not talking about ghosts either, I'm talking about social cues).
- He gets a Ouija board and when Katie flips out he hides his tail between his legs and apologizes immensely. What he needed to have done was to say "What the fuck Katie, you have no clue what you're talking about, you've been getting tormented by this ghost for way too long....shut the fuck up and realize that I'm doing this for your own good..."
That shows that no matter how wrong he may be he doesn't give a fuck and will do whatever it takes to defend his home.
- He doesn't seek help from the outside and shuns Katie for even bringing it up.
Does this guy have a small dick? Was he picked on as child at school? Does he even have a back bone? Super idiotic and just plain Ego driven to not get some professional help (on with the whole "never asking for directions formula") especially when you're girl's life is fucking DANGER.
What pisses me off is that the director can still write garbage like this and people buy into it. "Yeah, men are too proud to ask for help....that's why Micha didn't want to..." is what I can already hear people arguing. Fine, I understand that this couple is fucked in the head from the moment they start recording each other but seriously, don't make it seem like that's how everyone is (which is what happens when you write characters like that....people watch it and then they start to generalize that Everyone is like that etc.....whack and total bullshit.."
Yes, believe it or not you Mr. Director of PA are responsible for the film viewers actions. You made a film that will be watched by millions. Tread softly. You have a huge influence (not to mention a huge bank account now ;-)
- Micha has no idea about the book "Way of the Superior Man by David Detta"
Read it. And read it again. I assure you, you will not end up stabbed and dead like this film.
- Micha was not on his own path
We literally see him stop working for focus on his girlfriends issue. She ends up hating him for it too. How so? Well, every time Micha tries to come up with a solution for something Katie is always doubting it and him. How can he put up with such bullshit?! Thank god it's a movie but I know actual men who are living far worse nightmares than any movie can display. Does Micha even have guys friends that he goes out with, plays poker with etc.?
Does he hang out with Katie 24/7?
Aside from all the psychological bullshit, this movie is very non entertaining. I found myself checking my watch, getting tired of same horrible camera angles. Yes it was a low budget film but after all the "great" reviews everyone decided to give it I feel inclined to snap some sense and let some of that helium out of everyone's head. The dialogue is very two dimensional.
Who to Watch this movie with:
Girls you are trying to fuck. You can pretty much play up how that dude Micha was total doosh and convey how different you are from guys like that (say things like "I would have never did that...what a dumbass...")
By yourself. Harmless. And if you hate it then you can walk out or delete it.
Who not to watch this movie with:
-Guy friends. You will literally lose interest and assuming you paid to see it wishing you had better spent your $11.00 at the strip club.
-Family members. Mom and Dad? Fuck that. Go to the museum with them. Don't take em to this shit.
-Girlfriend
She'll try to take you to go see it. Be strong and especially be not available. This is the sort of dribble hollywood wants couples to see. It's false and anyone who is in a relationship like this one is headed for the same doom (perhaps literally ;-P). It's the same bullshit you see on a chick flick. Where the chick flick is like "everyone should be married" this film is saying "everyone should be all up in each others shit and never seek help from the outside world." Don't fall for this junk. It's not the way life is, and if it's not the way life is why waste your time with it (unless you really want to waste your very valuable time.) Have her go with her friends and then discuss it later with her. That's about the best you can do.
So I like writing. I wrote all this to basically sum up how much this movie blows balls. For a low budget it's great. Props to the director for doing his thing and getting his shit made. Though I am harsh about this I still respect those who make shit, get shit done. Movies are not easy to make and I almost refrained from writing this for the fact that it was pretty negative. But I couldn't help it when I saw how Pick-Up related it was.
I could clean this post up but it's really fucking late (or early). Time for some rest ;-)
