Really?You completely understand 2001,Donnie Darko or Mullholand Dr. from 1st viewing?Jonas Agersø wrote:None of these film fucked with my mind to be honest. Some great twists in some of them, but i wouldn't call that fucking with my mind.
How is Black Swan fucking with your mind btw? When fucking with your mind I assume you mean having twists? In that case Black Swan had the most obvious story and ending ever, it was pretty much all covered in the first 5 minutes of the film, it almost treated its audience like 3 year olds.
Your favorite movie that fu*ked with your mind

No, but what has that to do with fucking with my mind? I think its a bit too loose term. If fucking with your mind just means that you don't understand them on the first viewing, I can just make a film of a seed growing into a grass straw. No one would understand a hack of it, but it sure wouldn't be fucking with peoples minds would it? I think we need to specify.Mr. Caine wrote:Really?You completely understand 2001,Donnie Darko or Mullholand Dr. from 1st viewing?Jonas Agersø wrote:None of these film fucked with my mind to be honest.

I agree, when that is specified I would love to come with some examples. But don't get me wrong, I watch most good films atleast twice to really get the story, the symbolism and the charactersMr. Caine wrote:Well then RIFA will have to specify for usJonas Agersø wrote: No, but what has that to do with fucking with my mind?

Any movie can be potentially mind altering. It just depends on how you choose to perceive it. So my choice is every movie I watch (other).
But if I had to decide from that list I would choose the movies that were the most influential on my life.
Donnie Darko
Fight Club
Sixth Sense
Those movies were about perceptions. Perceptions of people, events, time, and of self, which leads me to think about everything. Now I constantly try to change how I perceive things not only in my own life, but other people’s lives as well.
That is also a part of why I am a Nolan fan. His movies ask questions. And not only do they allow me to answer those questions but they allow me to ask a lot of my own questions.

Fight Club changed the way i view lift :modesty:
Anything by David Lynch + Oldboy.
Lynch's picture's ARE total mindfucks. He plays with sound/imagery far too much to keep your mental state at a consistently table level throughout viewing.
On another note, I dislike Eternal Sunshine, and find it very much structurally flawed, as well as manipulative, and just found the first and third acts lacking. Meh.

Mindfuck
"A cinematic technique that uses misdirection to lead to an
ending that is at first glance completely unexpected or
contradictory, but is coherent and reasonable given hindsight
and careful observation of the clues presented."
