Let's talk about Primer[Warning Spoilers]

I think that the production value, in a rare case, added to the quality of the movie.

Here's the thing;

The quality of the movie, as in resolution, looked shit realistically speaking. It was very very unconventional, watching the movie, which is a good thing. It was a good thing because it forced you to actually think to understand the movie, it wasn't right in your face like most hollywood productions. You actually had to decipher as it progressed, at times I even had to pause it so I could look the scenario over better and realize what was happening.

Any movie that gets people to think for themselves is a plus in my books. Besides, the concept was awesome, and I think that's the thing to take away.

I guarantee some critics have reviewed it and been like "It looks like shit, i can't tell what's going on, sloppily put together." but they're missing the point.


There's plenty of movie's that are unintentionally confusing, and terrible because of it. However, oddly in this rare case, 'confusing' is what it has going for it, and it does not deter from the movie but ends up adding to it.


By the way, refer back to this post as a suggestion. The director is Shane Carruth(if my memory serves me correct), and he also made another movie called upstream color which is way better production value and is rich with underlying and deeper meanings.

Continue discussing this movie though.
