In this thread we talk about how awful Mind Game is

Since Himuro doesn't know how to stay on topic.

I'll just quote what I said in this thread here:

I saw the Japanese animated film "Mind Game" this evening. Despite your promising it would be a transcendent and life-changing experience, it was actually terrible pretentious art wankery the likes of which haven't been seen since Waking Life ruined theaters across America. There were like 6-7 good minutes out of 100. The movie had extended body painting performance art sequences, for fucks sake.

Could someone explain how this pretentious piece of poorly-drawn boredom is supposed to inspire me to do great things? Cause all it inspired me to do was not watch the director's future movies. Which I suppose is taking the movie's purported message to heart, in a fairly ironic way. Mind Game taught me that life is too short to watch movies like Mind Game!

"The Mind's Eye" was what everyone I was watching the movie with was reminded of. A bunch of incoherent artsy animation pieces loosely strung together by an incoherent tacked-on narrative.

Seriously, I would like for someone to explain HOW the movie could inspire someone, stuck or otherwise, to feel anything. Because all I felt was sad and confused that such a promising movie failed to deliver in any meaningful way.

etc. etc.

TRASH

Wait, Himuro is who I argued with over on GAF.

No need to go through this again! Maybe some other Evilboreans can talk about how awful their Mind Game experiences were.

I just don't get how someone can HATE Mind Game tho. Yeah it's pretentious and it ain't life changing (lol why did you expect all that?) but it WORKS. I mean there's so many great scenes. It's fun.
