"That's the human fate: Only on the limits,we can see how far humanity really goes". This is a pretty intelligent phrase too sir Haneke!

what he says about violence is really precious!!

[ListenToBigFace]

He is like the Samuel Beckett of film-making, in that he force the viewer to come to terms with the fact that they are a viewer and and are incriminated. Beckett forces the reader to recognise the failure of literature, by conronting us with the absolute reality of thought rather than a normal narrative.

Probably the best (most intelligent) film maker in the world. At least as far as film as comment on the act of consuming spectacle.

[hellohi821]

It is an interesting point that things that are not shown in a film can create a stronger impression than what is shown. If done properly, not showing something activates the imagination of the spectators so that they become actively involved, rather than just passively consuming. CGI misses this: It does all of the imagining, making spectators passive and uninvolved. Good artwork often invites the viewer to actively interpret it and to be involved with it.

[McShakesy]

@hellohi821 I completely agree with you on this apart from the CGI. When CGI is used properly, as in Take Shelter, it can be used well to describe our inner turmoil. CGI, like 3D just hasn't found its own niche yet.

I suppose Herr Haneke ought to be the one to tell us what and what not to watch.

[billardprofi34]

@Mdriver1981 you can write MISTER haneke, dear driver. )

[Mdriver1981]

@billardprofi34, whatever, shouldn't you be busy annexing Czechoslovakia?

[Hanemal888]

Cheers. Pity about the english translation.
