One of the most overlooked films ever. I think everyone has to watch this movie. even if you dont like it you have to respect it. its amazing. throws cinema on its head
I love this movie. The first time I watched it I laughed and was terrified at the same time. I really want this movie. Michael Pitt is one amazing actor in this film.
@SoxMan76 jeez calm down im just saying your complaining about someone killing a dog in a movie, and i agree with u when u say this movie is shit, i hated it its possibly one of the worst movies ive ever see.
This movie was done brilliantly, and both male leads play their roles perfectly. Michael Pitt is genius...that guy is so talented. And a hot sexy beast. I love everything about this movie. If you're creeped out good, that means the actors did their job.
I'll admit the ending was a bummer, but it was sort of a break from traditional movie making in that way. And come on, that last shot? Insane. Creeped the shit out of me, I can't imagine it ending any differently
@deadandbloated12345 thats the whole point..to make the audience uncomfortable with violence...which movies usually do not!...excellent movie in my opinion
well i agree some scenes drag on a little more than they need to, but still thats what a suspense movie is, waiting thru long parts but knowing shits about to go down.
This is an incredibly ignorant statement. you obviously have shitty taste in films if you think all "gringo" films are predictable, probably owing to the fact that you've only watch shitty American films. Kubrick, Allen, Coppola, Cameron, Coen Bros, all American . Also, I'm not american I can just tell the diff. between crap Hollywood churns out for profit and works of art meant for people that appreciate film .
@salarki Godfather, Apocalyspe Now? Are you kidding me? and as for Cameron, the lesser of the folks i mentioned, Terminator, Aliens, and Avatar have all been pretty seminal in their own genres and in their own ways. whether they appeal to your personal taste for films is besides the points, and the fact that he's grossed more than any other directors speaks for itself. I'm not gonna argue that anything which makes money automatically merits respect, but his work , by and large, does.
@adreanix Ah, actually it would be better to go by ticket sales. Avatar sold in 3D, which costs more per ticket, as well as the fact that tickets these days are so damn expensive. I think it's Black Beauty in 1st and Star Wars in second.
i love this movie sooooo much (i have to say that first) BUT i do have one thing to say against it - it's pretty predictable
i'm talking about the fate of the dog, and when anna gets captured again by the 2nd car that drives by (after she runs off to get help). BUT they were still really good moments
i personally liked the movie, yes it was slow and drawn out in some parts, for example in one clip we literally watched the female character struggle to stand up when bound for 10min lol. but honestly, i LOVE horror movies and believe that every horror movie is good and deserves credit for ingenuity
isn't tim roth british? or am i muddled because he starred on 'made in britain' ..most who dislike this are probably confused by the fact that a movie doesn't need to have unicorns or fantasy characters to be fictional, the director has u caught out and u cant change it, thats your problem cos it isnt ur plot and no matter wat u want to ''personally'' change u wont get the same satisfaction of (the good guy winning) because it isnt ur story!
This movie was as much trash as it was torture to its viewers. It was a very slow, dense, aimless attempt to create an apparent work of theatrical "art" [yeah, right]. The '97 version did not need a remake- it was already painstakingly as boring as the original, and America could have lived without it. Needless to say, if I had wanted to watch a [perfectly] detailed version of this garbage, I would have re-rented the original.
To those that can't get past 'its too slow..not the dog!..shit Misery...why's he looking at the camera?' & so on. Michael Haneke is a well respected director in Europe (deservedly so) for his intelligent, challenging, thought provoking films. SAW, BRIDE OF CHUCKWIT or whatever is not in the remit. So do yourself a favour if you're going to watch one of his films, & engage your brain. Realising SLASH GASH ON A PLANE TO KRUGERVILLE isn't what you're going to get will avert disappointment.........
Rogue351, hollywood had shit all to do with this remake in the sense you refer to. Do yourself justice & research the premise of the 1997 original film and the US market remake. Michael Haneke is the director and the writer. Google him at least before you make random comments that have no basis. Cheerio!
People might hate this movie but i thought it was fantastic and im only 15 i thought michael pitt did a great job of playing a clean cut psycho so if liking this movie makes me a psycho then my friends i'm a true psycho. Love the couch scene one of my favorite scenes
the movie was trying to send you a message about violence with all of those parts were michael pitt acts like he knows your watching them. They're basically saying "you the audience, are fucked up for watching this" this movie would have been in my all time favorites if it wasnt for those parts
unusual film. Enjoyed it. it frustrated me at times with the rewinding and the hopelessness of the whole thing. You feel down throughout the film but ultimatley it turned out to be really just weird and fascinating now that I think about it. I wanna see the original too.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This film sucked, again with the glorification of killing innocent people? Michael Pitt was the same as he is in everything else he does, same chacter different name same hair cut to boot. What is so interesting about pathic losers like is portrayed in this film. Not scary, not unique. Hollywood get a clue. Stop already glorifing killing inocent people. Whatever happened to mystery, intrigue, imagination, creative writting skills. Everyone dies end of story.Boring.Not funny not a cult classic.
The whole point of the film was meant to be that it was just pointing out the amount of violence in the media and that Paul always broke the fourth wall in order to go along with film convention.
agreed. As a convential story it made little sense, but when taken as a commentary on desensitivity to violence, disregard of the innocent, etc. it is quite effective and very chilling.
What I really enjoyed about the film was the way the killers were treated. Their cold, logical sadism was disarming and had a certain humor to it. For example, the running gag about the eggs was a great touch. The editing could've been much tighter, but it still defied my expectations.
The main aim is to cause the audience to question themselves about what entertains them.
The talking directly to the camera, the rewind bit and the fact the violence occurs off screen are for a reason. To make you think...
Were you disappointed you didn't see the kid die?
Do you really want the family to fight back?
If you watched it and were annoyed the family didn't "win" in the end or fight back, the film did its job and highlighted the fact many viewers enjoy violence and torture.
I actually think this one has better acting. They seem much more realistically upset in the remake. In the original, the kid almost seems like he doesn't care. Paul and Peter made me laugh more in the remake too :D
The one thing i hated was that in the original the guy was actually tubby, but in the remake he wasnt really fat at all so when the guy called him tubby it just made no sense
I hated this movie, but it wasn't for the intended reasons.
"Were you disappointed you didn't see the kid die?"
No, this was the best scene in the film. The guy calmly finishing making his sandwich after the gun shot, the audience guessing who got shot, then the shock/ horror of finding it was the kid.
"Do you really want the family to fight back?"
Didn't care enough about the characters to give 2 shits.
It can be easy to make the audience feel tense, as long as the actors are good enough. This movie proves that all it takes is long drawn out scenes and uncomfortable conversations. That's all this movie was. The only thing it had going for it, was the acting.
I would rate this movie along side The Blair Witch Project - a decent idea, but poorly executed.
It was more than a thriller. The family has no heroic moment, underscoring the pointlessness of it all, and the audience's wish to see the victims squirm, making them feel "guilty" about indulging in violence in entertainment.
this was a film condeming our appetite for violence, he was trying to say that its because of our need for our films to be more and more violent that films are becoming more and more violent. and u want a sequel? u didnt get the point of this movie at all did u?
i dont know, 1.because i was beaten as a child? 2.because my parents divorced? 3.becuase im bored. pick one and if u get it right ill give ya a surprise
i hate when there are parts in this movie when he talks to the audience or even looks at us! i want to kill him! but then, i remember its just a movie. lol

I am Michael Haneke. I was suffocated in the trunk of my van before i made this movie. If you don't post this comment under at least 10000 videos within the next 2 minutes I'll send my horny doggy after you!!
it makes fun of horror movies, movies in general, stupidass stories of villains and heroes, society, culture, and us watching the damn thing - great movie
it was.. uh.. they exist in cyberspace in an alternate reality, well, the family, not him - and we don't really exist, well you exist but I don't... lol, awesome movie :]
about the remote scene, what paul does is called, "braking the fourth wall" barely any movies do it. or shows for that matter, but in my view, it made it just a bit more intresting..
you people really need to think deeper. the "magical" remote was put in the movie to fool you into thinking the family was going to get some justice. It was made to toy with the audiance who normally feels compassion for the victims in some cases and hopes they get away. the remote was simple to rewind shit and be a basic fuck you to the audiance and nothing is going to really happen like you hoped. good vs evil. its a brilliant move. evil always wins. basically. nothing happens as it should.
I'd say Funny Games has real people (Paul and Peter) in a fictional family, so that's why the remote control scene and such happens :/ I'm probably wrong but that's one way I look at this film. I liked it by the way...:)
Er, it has to do with the fact that we had hope for the family then, but then it goes when he rewinds it and shows that the family are not getting away with easily.
Grr. You guys theyre are many reasons for that. How they talked about stupid hollywood endings and how they are fake and they talk about in the boat how theyre are different blackholes and things that may or may not be real. It's just a part of the movie oh and btw it was a great movie 5/5
I loved the movie, but yes, I hated the remote part too, it made no sense to be in the movie.But a lot of the movie didn't make sense.I also didn't like how they're was obvious ways for the family to escape, and they never did.But, it was really good.
what the fuck u guy didnt got the point of that remote scene ? lol the 2 bad 'badguys' talked about the importance of entertainment and that the viewer shouldn't be bored by gayass hollywood happy endings... so the keep the guys keep the show
well his friend dies, and out of NO WHERE he jsut gets a remote and rewinds the scene, making his friend not dead. And there was NOTHING leading to the remote part, it had nothing to do with anything
yeah, it was in the original too, that's the thing that makes funny games different from another horror/thriller film, the humor, and the impossibility of some scenes
that's not a normal movie, paul breaks the fourth wall several times and the remote scene explains you that the family won't have any chanche... it's a bit weird but i like it
(SPOILERS: PLEASE DON'T READ UNLESS YOU'VE SEEN IT!)
I loved this movie, seriously...
up to the point of the remote control scene...
It was just ridiculous.
I cheered when the wife shot the guy,
but WTF... the rewind? and the changing of the scene! Okay, it was "film art" but it pretty much ruined the movie for me. I turned it off after a minute after the scene. Made me so mad!
Nice video! my names Ava, kinda feelin bored if any1 wants to join me on cam or wana chat i will be signed on at __ FriendlyFlirts(.COM) __ my user ID there is Ava_nirxtnrfuyo chat soon xx its FR33 to j0in! mwah

No, this was the best scene in the film. The guy calmly finishing making his sandwich after the gun shot, the audience guessing who got shot, then the shock/ horror of finding it was the kid.
"Do you really want the family to fight back?"
Didn't care enough about the characters to give 2 shits.

Contd...
It can be easy to make the audience feel tense, as long as the actors are good enough. This movie proves that all it takes is long drawn out scenes and uncomfortable conversations. That's all this movie was. The only thing it had going for it, was the acting.
I would rate this movie along side The Blair Witch Project - a decent idea, but poorly executed.

It was more than a thriller. The family has no heroic moment, underscoring the pointlessness of it all, and the audience's wish to see the victims squirm, making them feel "guilty" about indulging in violence in entertainment.

this was a film condeming our appetite for violence, he was trying to say that its because of our need for our films to be more and more violent that films are becoming more and more violent. and u want a sequel? u didnt get the point of this movie at all did u?

it makes fun of horror movies, movies in general, stupidass stories of villains and heroes, society, culture, and us watching the damn thing - great movie
it was.. uh.. they exist in cyberspace in an alternate reality, well, the family, not him - and we don't really exist, well you exist but I don't... lol, awesome movie :]

about the remote scene, what paul does is called, "braking the fourth wall" barely any movies do it. or shows for that matter, but in my view, it made it just a bit more intresting..

you people really need to think deeper. the "magical" remote was put in the movie to fool you into thinking the family was going to get some justice. It was made to toy with the audiance who normally feels compassion for the victims in some cases and hopes they get away. the remote was simple to rewind shit and be a basic fuck you to the audiance and nothing is going to really happen like you hoped. good vs evil. its a brilliant move. evil always wins. basically. nothing happens as it should.

I'd say Funny Games has real people (Paul and Peter) in a fictional family, so that's why the remote control scene and such happens :/ I'm probably wrong but that's one way I look at this film. I liked it by the way...:)
evathediva0616 3 years ago 3
Yes I also do not understand the part with the Remote scene. He just rewinds back time and it has nothing to do with the movie.
koentaya 3 years ago
Er, it has to do with the fact that we had hope for the family then, but then it goes when he rewinds it and shows that the family are not getting away with easily.

Grr. You guys theyre are many reasons for that. How they talked about stupid hollywood endings and how they are fake and they talk about in the boat how theyre are different blackholes and things that may or may not be real. It's just a part of the movie oh and btw it was a great movie 5/5

I loved the movie, but yes, I hated the remote part too, it made no sense to be in the movie.But a lot of the movie didn't make sense.I also didn't like how they're was obvious ways for the family to escape, and they never did.But, it was really good.

well his friend dies, and out of NO WHERE he jsut gets a remote and rewinds the scene, making his friend not dead. And there was NOTHING leading to the remote part, it had nothing to do with anything

how the hell, doese that happen in the orginal? those that mean everything is a movie? WTF?

yeah, it was in the original too, that's the thing that makes funny games different from another horror/thriller film, the humor, and the impossibility of some scenes

I loved this movie, seriously...
up to the point of the remote control scene...
It was just ridiculous.
I cheered when the wife shot the guy,
but WTF... the rewind? and the changing of the scene! Okay, it was "film art" but it pretty much ruined the movie for me. I turned it off after a minute after the scene. Made me so mad!

HAHA I didn't like that scene either. I thought my remote was messed up. I paused it and was tripping out thinking "Why is it rewinding?"
