This film has become an obsession of mine. I watched it about a month ago, and i still can't get it out of my head. So many ideas. So many beautiful scenes. Such great music. Such bizarre casting that works!
you don't get it? the movie is about the end of the world. peroid. it doesn't end with a wimper but with a bang! all because humans tried to play god. but we are not gods.
Big stars all across in a movie that barely grossed 300k. Still an amazing movie if you actually sit back with it. Though the first 3 chapters help a lil bit with the understanding.
i friggan love this song...its very chill i bet the album is good. the whole soundtrack was awsome...the pixies hd a good track on their and we wont even get started on the killers (i know my roomie got sick of me blasten it) good soundtrack great movie!!!
Wow, certain people (who shall remain nameless) are actually going round trashing Richard Kelly on all the southland tales youtube clips......how about letting people think critically and make up their own mind instead of feeding them an opinion, after all personal freedom was a fairly prevalant theme in the movie.
The song is "Howl" by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (or BRMC). The extended version is on the Southland Tales soundtrack, but I highly recommend buying BRMC's album called Howl instead, one of my all-time favourites, and the Howl Sessions EP. Some really moving songs on there. The other albums are great, too, but more shoegaze
for whatever reason this is one of the best scenes in the movie.i have know film making knowledge but i knew when i saw it that they did a great job shooting the whole movie! what is a tracking shot? just when they follow people?
I like the comments on here...especially the "steering wheel" comparison. Good stuff.
This movie is misunderstood, and it is going to fuel discussion for years to come. I think it's a masterpiece. 2007 was such an awesome year for film.
Sure, but you can feel the adrenaline running inside your veins, because you know it's so much to take... just to let you know, life has no steering wheel, and the crash it's what makes it even better, i can relate with the way RK thinks, but i'm not capable of creating such great stories cause i'm crap, RK is not.
BTW it's a good thing not a lot of people understand this movie.
Richard Kelly as a filmmaker is like a high performance car with no steering wheel.
Loads of ideas, original voice, very intelligent...and no idea whatsoever of what to do with it or how to use it to make a good movie.
It's so hard to watch him flounder around like this and make incomprehensible, unfocused crap. Just like watching the race car fly around a track with no steering or control, knowing there's nothing you can do and just waiting for it to crash and end it's run permanently.
this movie is ahead of its time

I love how both DD and ST deal with the exact same time travel rules, except with the Artifact being a person and not a plane engine.

Exactly! Speaking of parallels between the two movies I loved how Sean William Scott's character got shot in the eye just like Frank

This is just like the Head Over Heels scene from Donnie Darko. It starts with Boxor Santaros and then the camera starts going around everywhere.

I really think I'm going to like this movie, haven't seen it yet. I adored Donnie Darko.
Altough I have to say that I was a little shocked to see The Rock playing the main character... Hope he can deliver the goods.
