The Man Who Stares At Goats (2009)



what's up peoples~ did you all have a nice day? any plans for the weekends? my favorite pass time for the weekends is no other then spend the whole day watching movies and sleep~ anyway~ today movie sharing will continue to be a little half ass because this movie that i watch just a few sec ago... i don't really get the point of the movie... base on the title i think it was suppose to be a comedy~ but is not much of a comedy~ and base on the beginning of the movie i though it was a war movie... it turns out is not really war as well.... but anyway~ as usual i will start with the director first~ which is Grant Haslov~ now i know he is an actor himself as well and have appear in a lot of great movies~ but the movie that i am about to mention is the movie that he direct~ not act~ he have directed film such as Unscripted and Par 6~ and this movie is base on a novel with the same title which is written by Jon Ronson~ now i am not much of a novel reader~ so don't ask me the difference of the novel and the movie... i have no idea... but anyways~ move on to the story shall we~

well... basically because i don't really get what the whole story is about so i will only tell you briefly~ as in literally briefly~ so~ story is about a heart broken journalist meets retired super solders and journalist wants to know more about retired super solders story and so journalist joints super solder in his journey~ and super solder was on the mission to find his lost teacher that trained him because after the teacher was fired from the military he have gone missing~ and then there is this other super solder which actually not really super at all was jealous of the super solder power that he wanted to get rid of him~ and that is what basically happens~ but then the story is a mess.... so i will stop here and then move onto conclusion~

okay~ base on what i see in this movie~ this is a mess... story flow is not well done and it bores me a lot~ at first base on the title... i think this is a comedy movie~ which turns out not much of a comedy element... and secondly they keep on mention about war and survival out there~ but then i don't see much war scene going on at all... and third of all there is a few peoples that they have meet and know on their journey to find this missing teacher~ but then i don't get the point of those people appearing... usually in a movie a person that appears and have a name with them is usually quite an important character... but in this movie they don't seems so important to me... and the ending.... i totally don't get the point of it... they manage to find this teacher... he was being capitalize by the evil solder... and then they want to struck back and free the ex-super solder member from this evil solder... and all of a sudden when they were having lunch i think?? all the peoples from the evil solder went crazy and they free the prisoner... i don't get it... i mean i don't know what the hell they have done in this whole movie... other then training up super solder and is still training up super solders... but then there is nothing really super about those super solder!!! i feel retard after watching this movie... but i don't know about you peoples out there... i don't recommend this movie at all... i mean sure they have some nice shots and pretty composition and lighting plus color correction... but the story... mess... i don't like a bit of this movie... but maybe those man will understand the romance of war?? i'm not sure.... but anyways have a good day peoples~ =D
