Anyone seen "Enter the Void"?

I just started it. Started off with some pretty impressive visual effects, but then the guys friend came and he looks annoyingly like a young Charles Manson. It's taking away from the experience of watching.

Anyone have anything to say about the movie? Like/no?

 

Very impressive visual effects, overall I found it entertaining but it's not something I care to see again.

After I watched it, I was explained some of the underlying material that the film supposedly represented in regards to Levels of Bardo. Had I been explained that prior to watching the movie perhaps I would've have been able to understand many of the scenes more in context.

 

Amazing. Made me fear death.

Irreversible by Gaspar Noe is even better; but that's not drug or trip related =P

 

Ah, I'm glad I checked back because I would have overlooked that as well.

I don't think it's the viewers fault that this happens, though, because unless you read about it before watching and are warned, you never get reinforced to bear in mind that the book has a lot to do with the scenes in most of the movie.

 

Really cool visuals effects.

Intensely inappropriate and uncomfortable to watch. Anyone remember the scene where the camera just zooms in on the aborted fetus twice? Nothing i ever wanted to see. Not to mention that i was tripping.

Edit: if you're bothered by someone looking like Charles manson then youll probably be very bothered with a lot of the rest of the movie.

 

It explains it in the film. The junkie french dude that apparently looks like a young Manson.

 

makes me love DMT even more

 

Yes, very trippy movie. Wouldn't recommend the opening sequence to anyone prone to seizures.

 

Yes, I missed that. Went back and it is actually set up... I was more focused on the experience than the dialogue.

I really enjoyed it- helped to know that the director was making an intentional portrayal of the stages of death according to the book of the dead as they might happen to someone who died tripping.

Overall really enjoyable. Someone from the Washington Post commented "The problem is that it's also the most excruciating sit in recent cinematic memory". I highly disagree. I took the usual number of breaks (I have a lot of difficulty watching a movie straight through so it helps me to stop every now and then).

Glad I watched it!

 

I have felt asleep when he was OBE'ing.
Beggining wasn't so bad though.
Maybe I will finish it some day...

 

I enjoyed it, not much else to say though.
