Movies that left you confused

My #1 what the heck - movie to come out in the last few years has got to be Lost in Translation ..

The film won a shed load of awards - eg, Best Original Screenplay -, and nominations - eg, Best Director and Best Movie .. and if it wasn't for the epic Lord of the Rings: Return of the King coming out the same year, 2003, LIT might have won a lot more than it did - .. but, umm .. I don't get it .. dunno

Do you? ..




what's your nomination for Most Over-Hyped movie award? ..

my theory is the awards were a result of the names 'Murray' and 'Coppolla' on the screen titles .. tbh I thought the plot was atrocious but that's just personal taste conversing

I agree there, without pointing finger at one particular movie, sometimes the hype around one and the awards following it, seems completely illogic.

It would be easy to say "money rules", but sometimes it's not even a commercial push behind the hype, just something spread like a wildfire through critter ... sorry, twitter ... or similar.

Back to the Future use to confuse me. And then there were The Village, a friend had to explain that one. And then there was the John Travolta and Halle Berry film (I think its called Swordfish)

Kind of...!

L in T was fine, I even enjoyed it. But I was not only CONFUSED at the end but FURIOUS when the last line of the movie was delivered in an inaudible whisper!!! Arrrrg! I could kill Ms Coppola! I mean what if Scarlett had delivered the last line of G with the W in an inaudible whisper?!?! Eh? Eh? Or if the last line of Some Like it Hot had been inaudible? Eh? Eh?

See what I mean?

But as for most over-hyped and incomprehensible movie of all time... I think the award this year has to go to... Dune!
