Movie Reviews of The Way Things Go
Movie Review: Like "Mousetrap" for grownups
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally saw this video at the Museum of Modern Art in DC. It was one of the few exhibits to really attract a crowd. Highly recommended.Movie Review: Metaphore¿?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a metaphore about how you can't control the way things go (beautiful, unrrepitable, chain reaction) in life..... I think.Movie Review: Love it
Summary: 5 Stars
This film defies description, but just trust me - it is a CLASSIC.Movie Review: Rube Goldberg redux
Summary: 4 Stars
In the last century, the cartoonist Rube Goldberg entertained and fascinated readers with his humorous cartoons of truly complicated devices or procedures that resulted in some simple task being completed. This film follows his lead and shows for some 30 minutes, using simple machines (levers, inclined planes) and fire, a series of continuous actions which accomplish nothing in particular except to entertain the viewer. No humans are shown in the film, though their work in setting up the event, apparently in a large warehouse, is evident in how smoothly, more or less, the whole crazy enterprise takes place. There is a certain underlying humor to the whole thing and also the anticipation of how the film makers will manage to keep the movement going. Bravo.Movie Review: Quite wonderful but...
Summary: 4 Stars
This is quite wonderful, ingeneous, fascinating, etc., etc. BUT... I can't begin to understand how they could go to all this trouble and NOT have a punch line for it. I mean, it should all be building up to serving as an alarm clock, or a ringer for a telephone, or a doorbell, or a toaster, or something. I waited and waited for what I knew would be this killer ending, and... fizzle. So, enjoy it for what it is, but it could easily have been so much more.
