i just finished watching Elephant. holy flip, that was intense. chilling. i wanna see it again already. i think it was one of the most beautiful films i've ever seen, cinematography-wise. the shots of the green skies will forever haunt me. the photography was pretty much close to perfect.
the plot reminded me a lot of Hey Nostradamus, except with more people involved. it's amazing how much you can say with so little words... there was maybe a total of 10 minutes max of actual conversation in this movie. the tiny, negligible actions of all the characters speak volumes and you really don't need any explanations. that's not to say that the characters were cliched archetypes either. the whole movie gives off a creepy vibe, but i don't think i felt disturbed once during the movie, only focussed. i couldn't take my eyes off it.
this is probably one of my favourite movies ever. if you haven't seen it, maybe you should. i don't even recommend movies often.
i like the director, gus van sant (who directed "good will hunting") a lot more now.
....
i watched two other movies today, but i'm going to have to talk about them later because it's 2 10am and i really should sleep before my sleeping pattern fucks me over again like last time.
EDIT: Broken Social Scene are coming to Vancouver, opening for Sam Roberts. they are playing Deer Lake Park, Burnaby.

I went to a park in Burnaby once. But it wasn't that one.
Sam Roberts is good live, and of course you'll enjoy BSS. You should go.
