Lord Of War
 

Has anyone seen this movie yet? It was really good and really got me thinking. It's kind of a dark comdey. It's about a Gun Runner who pretty much builds himself a dream life out of gun running. He gets a house, the women of his dreams*litterly* and a kid. But things go wrong and it's just so awesome to see how he deals with his problems. It's based on a true story! I want to buy it when it comes out. It's funny and has some strong points. I don't think everyone should see this movie but if you like dark comdey*Stuff like Fight Club and such* I suggest it. It's also a good drama film.

I saw it last night for free (I make drinks for the guy that runs the theater, and he gave me a years worth of passes + a V for Vendetta movie poster). It was much better than the reviews make it out to be. It's also the second best movie I've seen where Mr. Leto plays someone addicted to an illicit white powdery substance.

Good film.

He was in Requiem For A Dream too right? I own the movie but yeah I forgot O_O

YUS! GREAT MOVIE!

"I'M GOING TO BE ON TELEVISION!"

God finally someone else who has seen it! Gah seems like no one else has. Gah his arm is so nasty >_<

I'm gonna see this sometime this week, it looks pretty good.

I've seen it a million times. Requiem is one of my favorite movies ever made. Anyone who hasn't seen it deserves to be drawn and quartered.

And yeah, the arm. Duh...I mean...it was infected after shooting up all the time. That's what you get. That was pretty much just a taste of the overall moral of the story.

Are you serious? it seems everywhere I go everybody has sen that movie. personally, I think it's highly over-rated because everybody and their mother treats it so highly. But to each his own.

Yeah I only know 3 people who have seen it. And one of them watched it with me o_O

Oh, my brothers.

Everyone likes the movie because everyone else likes the movie. The "drug" trend is appealing, yet the overall moral of the story doesn't seem to catch on with the general audience.

Meaning they think it's cool to see people shoot up on heroin, but don't get the gist of the movie.

Requiem, Clockwork Orange, Fear and Loathing, Blade Runner, etc. All these great movies are appealing to the masses, but for all the wrong reasons. That, young malchick, is why you might find it highly overrated.

And my dearest appy polly loggy for dragging on the thread off topic. :D

If your a true fan of those drug movies then you must have seen the movie "Go" haha man that movie cracks me up.

They're not really "drug" movies. Requiem is about addiction and Fear and Loathing is about the hippie drug culture and finding the American dream (which kind of makes it a drug movie, but not quite).

As for my favorite drug movies, I guess I might as well throw in "Spun" and "Trainspotting".

I still need to see Trainspotting >< I've wanted to see it for awhile now! I call them drug movies because the plot directly includes drugs. Even if the over all point of the movie isn't drugs. The durgs play as a bad guy in a sense.

Well, in that sense, in Fear and Loating, the drugs are neutral. They both help and hinder Duke and Gonzo, as well as add comic relief.

Best line in the movie:

"With a bit of luck, his life was ruined forever. Always thinking that just behind some narrow door in all of his favorite bars, men in red woolen shirts are getting incredible kicks from things he'll never know."

Fear and Loathing, Trainspotting, and Clockwork Orange are all amazing movies, and some of my favorite, but I never really cared that much for Requiem for a Dream. *shrugs*
