Film Club #1 - Enemy

[Excited Penguin]

The movie felt to me like it was a little under-cooked, given a little more time and a better budget it could of been better. First of all, what are the odds that a person who is a twin would be dating and married to the same type of woman? Adams wife and Anthony girl friend were the same as well, that was kind of a bazaar twist. A bit unrealistic but, possible that twins like the same type of girl. The 1st scene in the hotel room had me a bit confused. If you did find your identically twin would you not have questions? He went to all that effort to find then he ran away, why? Also, a other plot point that bothered me was this. Anthony did not know this person did not exist when he first got her pregnant then he thinks that Adam was involved. If they were going for that paranoid husband character, they did it on the head.

I think you took a lot of parts literally that weren't meant to be taken in that sense.

If you look at the entire movie as a whole, it doesnt make sense at the surface. I think it's meant to be looked at beyond the surface though.


That's just my interpretation however, obviously we can all have our own, and what one person finds a deeper meaning in, someone else might not make that connection whatsoever, which is neither a good nor bad thing. It just means we all have different perspectives.

I think Sterben understands that mere disagreement doesn't equate hostility, perfectly well. If he doesn't, I'll be glad to reassure him that by merely taking part in our little film club his opinion will always be read, considered and reciprocated, at least by me.
