Another terrific Gus Van Sant gem. Love this the first time I watched it. His film technique captivates you from the get go. Also like how the story unfolds. Great flick. Thank you uploading it. =)
Almost impossible to sit through a Gus Van Sant movie. I can appreciate certain artistic visions but he takes it too far on the majority of his films.
@gvgerardo Robery? Arts are supossed to be shared to the people. I admit that the makers decerve some financial income from their works, but c'mon, stealing a painting is robery. This is sharing.
Wow, I never knew it was a book too. I'm watching it because Taylor Momsen's in it and I'm a big fan of her acting so I'm just checking this out. LOL. (:
@lulurules are you seriously kidding me? paranoid park isn't artistic? it's a work of art. Whatch it again and tell me the director didn't specifically chose each shot, and how they relate to the film.
well that's your meaning, i still think that the book is better, because this book was written at first and than the movie...in my opinion gus van sant is a bad director.
Yeah. That's actually his best. His movies aren't for everyone which is why I can understand why some people dislike him. His films are more character-driven than plot-focused.
"because this book was written at first"
Silence of the Lambs was a book, but the movie surpasses the book a lot more.
"gus van sant is a bad director. "
A director that challenges narrative, conventionality, and the overall way people see movies does NOT make him a bad director at all.
...fuck my computer it's so fucking slow and retarded it turns itself off like wtf then i have to refresh the page and then i get rly angry fuck my computer it will burn >=(
The two pieces are completely different. The book is a bit more direct, while the film is subtle and tailors more to the arthouse kinds of adaptations.
well the movie is not bad at all, please don't understand me wrong, but gustav is always making so bad movies, well stories are always good but he make it always realy boring....he's bad director
A hypnotic trip into the world of adolescence. The director Van Sant sensitized viewers through long, intense images, frenzied assembly and use of unfamiliar music. This movie is so dramatic and profound like almost no other.
