can't believe the two best actors working today are in the same movie..... jake gyllenhaal and jake gyllenhaal
producers: how about you put one color besides yellow in this film
denis: um... wtf...why would i ever do that...
"Chaos is order yet undeciphered."
Well, that was a mind distorter if there ever was one. I don't think I can remember having left a theater so confused before. I turned to the man next to me, who I noticed had also gone to see the same film, and noticed that he was shaking his head. "What did you think of it?," I asked him. "Not good... not good at all." And I totally understood where he was coming from, because who could have been prepared for a film (or an ending, for that matter) like that?
Yet I was not on the same page; I loved Enemy. I LOVED it. Maybe it has to do with my appreciation for…
Did not realize how terrified I was of Jake Gyllenhaal until this......
...
what the fuck???
Me after watching Enemy: what does any of this mean?
Every film review based account on YouTube: here is a clear and well thought out short explanation behind the confusing subplot and imagery of this film, with clips to reference and bold text for visual ease!
Me: aaaaah thank you!! :) I get it now
Me, after rewatching Enemy: but what does any of this mean
me: "this is pretty cool, i guess"
jake gyllenhaal: [has a hairy chest]
me: "wow... A Filmé... really makes you think..."
Rating: 82/100
a timeline of me watching this movie:
"EW .. what .. OH .. what .. LOL .. what .. NO .. what .. AAAHHH .. WHAT!!!!! WWHAT THE FUC K"
Denis Villeneuve’s “Enemy” might have the scariest ending of any film ever made. While such a proclamation no doubt seems both wildly hyperbolic and uselessly broad (how to compare the sudden revulsion of “Don’t Look Now”’s final shots with the icy, germinating dread imbued into the haunting last shot of a film like “The White Ribbon”?), viewers of certain predispositions and phobias will invariably sign off on such a statement as “Enemy” abruptly cuts to its closing titles.
A strange and agreeably pretentious adaptation of the late José Saramago’s novel “The Double”, Villeneuve’s film is faithful to the source material in broad strokes, but also enjoyably overeager to spotlight and sexualize the text’s most sinister undercurrents. One of two Villeneuve…
Denis Villeneuve’s Enemy, is the most-confusing film I’ve ever seen. It’s a metaphorical movie about one mans journey into his mind. I really enjoyed dissecting this film, even though it can be a little difficult to follow the breadcrumbs that Villeneuve is leaving behind. I don’t see myself watching this film at much as other ones out there, but I think Villeneuve is one of our new masters. And that ending...
Skyscrapers, motels, massive apartment buildings. This film makes the unsettling nature of our isolated existence feel tangible. Identity becomes jumbled.
Enemy gets praise from me, at the very least, for being thought provoking. Many hours worth of thought provoking.
The first time I watched this movie it completely shattered the way I viewed visual storytelling.
This is my third time rewatching after six years and I suddenly felt compelled to write an entire essay about it?? Just for myself?? At 2am??? This movie is crazy dude.
I'm not even going to pretend like I understand what I just saw. But I do know that I loved it!
