I saw this movie for the first time today at school, and it was like a dream, I didn't know Jonathan Caouette before and I have to say that he just made a dream for everyone from his own life
i just got back from new york. i was in the west village at a starbucks off 7th ave. in line..i saw this guy..someone i recognized.. for 10 minutes i couldn't remember how or who? it was jonathan caouette! lol i was going to approach him, but not for the reasons you might think. i'm not starstruck...the reason was, i teach film and i wanted to let him know that i was using his film to teach. the film is incredible. 1 criticism: the shots in 2002 were too narcissistic, too self conscious.
Jonathan Caouette is a wonderful person. He came to speak at my college this week and he and this movie changed my outlook on life. It was the last class I attended before I decided to take a semester off because of depression. Seeing him so happy now gives me hope for myself.
@CrosbySinatraAndDean He seems like a good guy, and you know what? take your semester off, I did the same and it worked for me, at least to feel more at ease. Good luck.
That Jonathan is all right, He treats his family well. This is a great film, and really shines a much needed light on mental illnesses that a lot of families deal with.
I haven't been this disturbed/scared watching a movie since I first saw The Exorcist. That's as much of a mentally disturbed family as I've ever seen.
Liked tarnation...Jonathan is a wonderful man, a lovely guy...but the rawness and the starkness was too much for me, I felt uncomfortable. I can understand what they mean by "nervy" when they use that euphemism.

this is one of the worst movies i have ever seen. that faggot is one of the biggest narcissistic assholes ever to own a video camera. he doesnt give a fuck about his mom, he just wanted people to pay attention to him. worthless cunt needs to be shot.
One of the songs in this movie is called "Depersonalized", is the person in this movie suffering from depersonalization? I haven't seen the movie yet, but i will most likely see it if it has something to do with depersonalization.
Yea I thought this movie was amazing. A masterpiece is right. Just imagine if everyone made a movie about their life and was 100% honest about it, not skipping a moment.
The only way i could describe this film is that it alters an emotion in me that i cannot describe.. sadness, hatred, love, convulsing breaths of air .. this film isn't for everybody.. i yearn for films that give me a similar high like this one did.. pure gem
Same here. I've experienced almost every emotion watching it. It seems that life writes best screenplays. Best? It's not the most appropriate word here... Anyway an amazing film.
im sure i will get hated on for this but i felt that jonathan was exploiting his family members with this film. a family film should't air your dirty laundry for everyone to see.
i think dirty laundry is exactly what most cinema is missing. We create fake stereotypes and ways to live in movies but when it is real there is always dirty laundry. This is one of the most of the most authentic films about life I have seen and do not think censoring in any way will help
well i mean it has its part in cinema, i'm not arguing that. i liked the documentary and i don't think it should be censored. he had a vision and it came across well. but i guess what i'm getting at is would you show your family members worst problems to the world? i couldn't.
I saw this movie in a sleepless night 2 years ago and I can say: I love it! If you see this movie you will know that your life is very good in contrast of this!
This movie was .... I don't know, it was good for what it was but some part of me felt a little let down by it.
I grew up in a similar situation to Caouette and was hoping this film would have a lot I could relate to. Parts of it I could and really touched me, other parts I hated and they felt horribly contrived and self-absorbed.
I guess Caouette took a different approach to this topic and to life than I did so there was less I could feel than I hoped. Guess I expected a lot.
this film hurt my heart butalso made me believe even more in the concept of a universal conciousness...as the pain he and all his family members experience is recognizable by many. I hope the catharsis of the creating of this film allows freedom from its sufferring as it is viewed and shared by so many.
It's the saddest, most disturbing/depressing movie i've ever seen ! At one point I felt uncomfortable by just watching it ... in others the LOVE just blows out of the TV ... you'll just feel a lot of confused feelings by watching it !
I have seen the movie Tarnation and it is a masterpiece! Heart breaking och thrilling and beautiful...... words are not enough! You have to see for yourself.
This is an astonishing, almost unbearable movie. I think the scene where Renee walks around his apartment with the pumpkin may be the most uncomfortable thing I've ever seen in a movie - and I've seen Titicutt Follies. It's a deeply flawed movie, made, as it is, entirely out of flaws. So what? It's also not like anything else.
Thanks for posting this. A reminder to see what looks like a fascinating and important film. Obviously this hits very closely to where some people cannot go. All the more reason to see it.
I am un inspring film maker. After seeing these true filming ginus I feel in love with it. It is not a chicken or beef film. By that I mean your not thinking what your going to have for dinner when waching it. your in the movie and captured by itself, from the cinematography and the music. A ture art was made.
I'm sorry, but I can't get over how sooooooooooo self-indulgent this thing is. HE ambushes the people he loves on camera. That's not good film making. It's sheer conflict for shock value and sympathy. No purpose but that guy's own love of watching himself on screen.
Everyone has their own opinion, especially about this movie, because you either love or hate it. But I loved it. I know the ending scene when he laid against his sleeping mother seemed a tiny bit contrived, but in the director's comments on the dvd he explains, to the audience, that it might seem that he was exploiting his family (pumpkin scene) but in reality he was just filming everyday stuff without the idea of making it into a movie someday. stop trying to use big words and look deeper.
Which word was "big?" "Fucked" or "pap?" Here's a big word: DILETTANTE! "Everybody has an opinion" is the most useless, PC aphorism used today. Not looking deeper into this movie is what I did. Follow your own advice and realize this isn't that enlightening. Any of those words too big?
who the hell starts their youtube comment by saying "this is such a pretentious overrated piece of masturbatory pap". just fuckin say "this was a piece of shit". Its people like you that really dont know shit, I am a PhD student but that doesnt mean I dont listen to other's opinions, dumbass. If your not enlightened by this REAL story then ur fucked up. Until you have filmed the past 20 years of your life and actually had a interesting story to tell dont give this guys story any shit.
The rich irony of your comment is astounding. Essentially Johnathan (the filmmaker who you are fighting for) is finding a medium in which he can be fully expressed about an issue he can't simply talk about. "Solidgold" is expressing himself in a medium in which he feels comfortable. It's staggering. The rage you feel over his pretentious and devil-may-care attitude is exactly what you are displaying in fighting back.
And I want to know when using the English language became pretentious.
and the english language never became pretentious people became pretentious. its just one medium of language as is all ways and as a film is a medium of language as well
This is such a pretentious overrated piece of masturbatory pap. I sat through the whole thing hoping this guy would do something of value for his fucked up family, and it turns out it was just an egotistical unabridged youtube video. It was never about his mom. It was about getting his ass on camera and in Shortbus, or some shortsighted ego-driven jeremiad. And that last part is soooooo contrived. I can't believe you don't see that. Youtube "Frank & Cindy." It's "solid gold."
I thought I was a cynic! some people just have to disembowel everything that has beauty.This film is mesmerising. I couldn't stop watching it. No point in being jealous. Just enjoy it!

What a bunch of bullshit using your mother like that and your family... getting them to cry and pour their sorrows out like that and jonnie crying all in front of the camera how fake and greedy and corruptive!
I saw this movie many months ago (in french ^^) and I think that it's the best film! I think about it ever, it's very strange... But I love it, it's a very great movie, congratulations Jonathan :)
perfect example of how a a good trailer is not indicative of a good movie. unless you enjoy nonsensical imagery and depressing home video (and we're talking actual home video shit here, edited in imovie), just enjoy the trailer and leave the mvoie itself alone
This movie is amazing, I've seen it at least 5 or 6 times and it still amazes me when I watch it. Jonathan Caouette is a very talented and strong man.
Crumb! is way better. I guess the truth is, I like a good travelouge much more than navel-gazing, but fuck all if "Sherman's March" ain't the best doc since Primary.
Incredible. Better than any fictional movie wich I've ever seen. Why always make up storys about robots, aliens, murders and whatever when live gives us so incredible storys? This is a film that really touched me. And that's something that NO fictional film ever really did!!!!!
Additionally, if this is exploiting his family for fame, then you could say that about just about any autobiography out there, as a previous commentor says. The message is there, and it is a beautiful one. That is what is important to me.
I have to disagree with those that are saying that this movie is exploitation, or that the son is obsessed with himself. I believe that what he has produced here is a natural extension of himself, not forced, because videotaping himself was how he coped with his situation at home. It is a part of him, and the most natural way to create an autobiography.
I personally thought this was the worst movie I've ever seen (and I've seena lot of movies). But hey, to each his own, so if you like it that's good. Judge for yourself.
I've seen this movie yesterday on the channel 3.SAT, too! After the Movie I thought: "WOW, What a great movie, I've got to go and get it somewhere on DVD!!" But here in germany, I can't find it with german subtitle!
This movie is one of the greatest I've ever seen, really! Respect!
It's funny how poeple love to hate this movie, saying it's made by a narcissic guy... Yet nobody will be called narcissic for writing and publishing an autobiography.
Even if the story it tells was fictional, this movie would still be powerful and poignant, to a far greater extent than other very good movies.
I saw this movie at the Wexner Center at Ohio State University. The director had a Q&A session afterwards. The film itself was busy, messy, exploitative nonsense; completely self-indulgent. He came across not as someone deserving pity, but as someone deserving a good punch in the face. During the Q&A, I realized something: I was 100% right.
This film is the product of a man obsessed with himself, who is clearly in need of significant help. In my view its an exploitation of his own families mental illness, with the aim of making him famous. Him releasing it is unhealthy - the media reacting in the way they have to it - is nothing short of sick.

What a bunch of bullshit using your mother like that and your family... getting them to cry and pour their sorrows out like that and jonnie crying all in front of the camera how fake and greedy and corruptive!

I saw this movie many months ago (in french ^^) and I think that it's the best film! I think about it ever, it's very strange... But I love it, it's a very great movie, congratulations Jonathan :)

perfect example of how a a good trailer is not indicative of a good movie. unless you enjoy nonsensical imagery and depressing home video (and we're talking actual home video shit here, edited in imovie), just enjoy the trailer and leave the mvoie itself alone

This is the most disturbing, scariest movie I've ever seen. I turned it off halfway through the movie. I couldn't stomach it.

This movie is amazing, I've seen it at least 5 or 6 times and it still amazes me when I watch it. Jonathan Caouette is a very talented and strong man.

Crumb! is way better. I guess the truth is, I like a good travelouge much more than navel-gazing, but fuck all if "Sherman's March" ain't the best doc since Primary.

Incredible. Better than any fictional movie wich I've ever seen. Why always make up storys about robots, aliens, murders and whatever when live gives us so incredible storys? This is a film that really touched me. And that's something that NO fictional film ever really did!!!!!

Additionally, if this is exploiting his family for fame, then you could say that about just about any autobiography out there, as a previous commentor says. The message is there, and it is a beautiful one. That is what is important to me.

I have to disagree with those that are saying that this movie is exploitation, or that the son is obsessed with himself. I believe that what he has produced here is a natural extension of himself, not forced, because videotaping himself was how he coped with his situation at home. It is a part of him, and the most natural way to create an autobiography.

I saw this movie in Brazil and I have no doubt that's a great movie, deep and powerful.
thanks Jonathan!

I personally thought this was the worst movie I've ever seen (and I've seena lot of movies). But hey, to each his own, so if you like it that's good. Judge for yourself.

It's funny how poeple love to hate this movie, saying it's made by a narcissic guy... Yet nobody will be called narcissic for writing and publishing an autobiography.
Even if the story it tells was fictional, this movie would still be powerful and poignant, to a far greater extent than other very good movies.

I saw this movie at the Wexner Center at Ohio State University. The director had a Q&A session afterwards. The film itself was busy, messy, exploitative nonsense; completely self-indulgent. He came across not as someone deserving pity, but as someone deserving a good punch in the face. During the Q&A, I realized something: I was 100% right.

This film is the product of a man obsessed with himself, who is clearly in need of significant help. In my view its an exploitation of his own families mental illness, with the aim of making him famous. Him releasing it is unhealthy - the media reacting in the way they have to it - is nothing short of sick.
