In my opinion, the term "innovative" is stronger than the term "original," but perhaps it’s just a matter of terminology. For me, if a work is innovative (whether it’s a record or a film), it means that it changes the way a certain language is used, that is, from that point on a new perspective on that type of art (music or cinema) emerges. For example, "Velvet Underground & Nico" or "The Modern Dance" or "Spiderland" for rock. On the other hand, original can also be a record or a film that uses languages already employed in the past but with expressive registers that make it recognizable and distinguishable from the rest.

I can't understand how it can be so difficult to grasp the concept that Muffinman is trying to convey, which I would dare to say is rather simple: a film can be original in some aspects while not in others. You can't equate the "subject" of a film with the film itself. The subject is certainly the principal element of a cinematic work, but originality also lies in how it's put together, how it's told... a film can tell a non-original subject but be original in terms of editing, shot selection, cinematography, the use of the soundtrack, the blending of multiple genres, the actors' performances, the particular choice of temporal sequencing of the plot, and I could go on indefinitely. Furthermore, we should distinguish originality from innovation, but I will stop here to avoid digressions.

Nes, I hope you realize that by insisting on the topic of homosexuality and using it as a tool for mockery, you are not showing respect to those who are truly part of it. Regarding the discussion on originality, I believe there’s a misunderstanding between Caz and Muffin, as one evaluates originality referring to the object in its entirety, while the other refers to the various aspects that constitute it. Personally, I agree more with Muffin's perspective.

Beautiful film, great characterization of the characters, the three hired killers, the Indian nobody, and then the magnificent hallucinatory ending. A psychedelic trip from beginning to end. A film like this is one of the demonstrations that cinema can truly be art. It is a multifaceted work that can be appreciated over and over again without ever having a clear definition of all its aspects; indeed, its indefiniteness is its strength.

Why, after '77, is fusion the only thing that isn’t superfluous for you? This is unsettling...

I would like to conduct a survey to see how many of those who said this is the best album of 2009 have listened to, for example, "Popular Songs" by Yo La Tengo or "Rated O" by Oneida. Just to name two at random. If someone, after listening to those albums, told me that "The Resistance" is the best album of the year, I might be a bit perplexed, but at least their statement would be a bit more honest as it would come from a real comparison.

haha! "that bullshit just released"...but it's the exact same movie shot scene by scene! What can vary beyond the actors' performances? By the way, Tim Roth is a great performer. It just becomes bullshit because there are Hollywood stars? I've seen both versions and the rating is the same, 3.

It gives you anguish, but it's not a movie I'd want to see a second time, quite self-serving and hollow. I agree with Pixies on Old Boy, that truly is one of the most beautiful films I've had the chance to see.
