Buffy ,'Get It Done'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I think going into it assuming a certain degree of graphic novel logic and debt owed to magical realism helped me re: plot holes.
I did not know it was a graphic novel before seeing it; if I had that may have influenced what I thought of it a little. I didn't really get a magical realism feel from it at all. I am going to seek out the graphic novel, and maybe rewatch the film when it comes out on DVD. TCG enjoyed it much more than I did.
The cast was A++++++++ awesome. I kinda want to see Brazil again now, too.
Oh, and I may have bought a digital copy last night. Possibly.
The acting was very good.
I'd like to see Snowpiercer but I'm worried the violence will be too much for my comfort level. Is there a comparable movie I can judge by? Is it Tarantino-level violence? Most importantly, do any animals or children get hurt?
Zen,
I don't think you should see the movie.

I was wondering the same thing.
It is fairly violent, and there are several points where children are in danger.
Is it Tarantino-level violence? Most importantly, do any animals or children get hurt?
I saw someone describe one scene as bloody enough that Tarantino would get a mop.
So, yeah. Not a good one for you.
In the theater, I saw people with their hands over their faces and wondered for a minute what was wrong with me.
