Just saw David Fincher's 'The Game' for the first time....

[Wise]

He's my favourite director but I really don't know how I feel about this

One of the weirdest films I've ever seen

Spoiler

WHO THE fukk GIVES YOU A BIRTHDAY PRESENT LIKE THAT

 

[FlyRy]

I know some people are mixed, but i personally loved that film

will buy it next month for the criterion sale at barnes & noble

 

[Box Cutta]

I thought that it was the kind of thing that could have been absolutely horrid in the wrong hands.

 

[GunRanger]

okay movie with one of the dumbest, illogically twists ever conceived in a movie.

 

[Dr.HannibalLecter]

I think it's in his top 5 with Zodiac, Seven, Fight Club and Social Network

Better than the rest

 

[Motife43]

I just watched this movie, whole movie had me like WTH. When I thought it was what it was, it wasn't

For it to be 1997, Michael Douglas whole life was fly. The Beamer had handsfree calling and he could pause live TV at the crib

 

[THE 101]

Film is entertaining as fukk. Michael Douglas had them scumbag yuppie roles on lock during the 80s and 90s.

Succession's opening credits is straight up taken from this film.

 

[the next guy]

wild film for sure.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

I said in another thread the game could be a franchise type movie in today's age with all the CRS fukkery.

 

[ThirdAct]

One of his more underrated movies, it's a fun thriller. Funny enough, Fincher himself doesn't like it much and said his wife tried to talk him out of making it:

"She was extremely vociferous, for instance, when she said, "Don't make The Game" and in hindsight, my wife was right. We didn't figure out the third act, and it was my fault, because I thought if you could just keep your foot on the throttle it would be liberating and funny."

Think he's being a little hard on himself but

I was kind of disappointed in the 3rd act. It was a let down honestly

 

[Piff Perkins]

I agree the beginning and middle are better than the third act but it’s still a very good movie. I also think despite the third act having problems, the ending is good. It’s like…the events that get him to the building are questionable but once he gets there…I really like the ending. Trying not to spoil anything.

I like it, haven't watched it in a long time. It was one of the first movies I saw with that big twist at the end being a big factor. Maybe there were others before it (for me, not in movies ever) but I don't remember them.
