Gaz6002 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I liked the party bit in cloverfield for one reason. No, not one of the manufactured identical prettygirls, for me it was a "The Stand" moment. If you've ever read The Stand, it takes forever to get going, as it follows the rise and fall of the protagonist in the music industry. In fact, you get so involved in him getting famous, and doing too much too soon and getting burnt fingers and burnt out in general, that when, just as he's getting his life back on track, you get the actual plotline kick in it's quite a shock. So just as I was thinking about how this guy in cloverfield is cocking up his relationships and so on and so forth, the lights go out and I'm shocked back to "Uh oh this isn't going to be good". My mind had wandered from the actual premise of the film so it was a good effect to get "dropped in it" as it were. Great film, truly great. Shame there are so many handycam style ones coming out suddenly I completely agree about The Stand, fantastic plotline and method. I can't however agree with Cloverfield. I thought it was a sweeping generalisation of several disaster and major budget Hollywood films all crammed together under the guise of being "original" for using the cam footage in that way. The thing I respected most about that film was the pre-release hype. My thoughts are mirrored EXACTLY by Lost though so I guess I can see a pattern forming here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
