you and i ( 2011 film )
copied over from my facebook on inception of the blog. originally written 8 / 3 / 2011
thank you! that’s very kind of you to say. glad you enjoyed it 🙂
camilla and the other chickens sing
forget you
... just like they did with cee - lo during the 2011 grammys .
with the headline: people, you will see this film. right now .
a wonderful film about film cloaked in an emotional and deeply rewarding, multi - layered children' s tale .
koo, congrats. you have given so much back to the film community... that you really deserved this. now make a kickass film! ! !
wish i had seen this before launching my campaign... great job and i look forward to the film! !
could you be any more pretentious? i hope you didn’t get paid to write this drivel .
gary, i' ve gone home. i love you, but you have to decide. are you a man... or a muppet? mary
i know this comment is a year later than the rest but i’ve only recently watched this film. . no film has had the effect on me like martyrs did, i have watched a siberian film and films like 120 days of sodum and found then nothing compared to martyrs. . the way the film was shot, actually i’m not even goin to try and sound intelligent, the film stick with me… great review 🙂

koo, i know 1% is a very small number. . but i think the biggest problem on kickstarter is they don´t accept paypal. . i´m from europe and i had problems registering my card on amazon website. . i´m sure there would be more international readers who would pledge on your project (like me). but finally, i´m glad that you made it, i know you would make it because you are the right guy and you deserve it! thank you for everything you did and all the experience you shared with us, i hope once i´ll have the chance to repay you everything i´ve learnd from you. (i hope i said that right haha... sorry for my english) wish you the best !
thank you again and again for making this campaign a wonderful success. i' m going to do my absolute best to make a feature film that makes you proud .
personally, i did not appreciate cars but i did watch it and i did give it a shot .
firstly; it’s your right as a human being to like cars or not. whatever you think, you’re right. and if i don’t want to watch it because i think it’s boring and i hate nascar, that’s my business and i don’t care what you think .
for all the wizardry on display, hugo often feels like a film about magic instead of a magical film ...
seriously – i agree with 90% of what you say, but that last 10% makes you sound no better than the media you criticise .
snyder shot snow steam iron entirely on an iphone — a technique that has been used by directors for years now, like in sean baker’s 2015 sundance breakout tangerine and adam green’s 2011 film the wrong ferrari .
it is unfortunate that you criticize what you have not seen. how can you expect to be taken seriously as a critic if you cannot effectively analyze your material because you refuse to watch it ?
statler: you know, if i didn' t know better, i' d say you were reciting some sort of an important plot point .
so what if you consider yourself a serious film lover but don’t want to find life itself defiled? do you have to watch this movie? and will you regret it? i asked five films critics these questions earlier this week .
you know not what your actions would unleash. i do. go now, while i still allow it .
thank you for the great read. i’ll be thinking about your article when i watch the next pixar movie !
when you do what i did at sundance, you’re not imploding: you’re inspiring. be the first to say what all frustrated filmmakers are thinking and guess who pays attention ?

both the colony and momentum were released by signature entertainment, a uk distribution company started in 2011. jon bourdillon, the company’s chief operating officer, says the strategy exists to “give the film the widest possible level of distribution and exposure” .
i think you have kids and smoke too much weed. yes i have thought of the idea a long time ago, you broke it down too much and your first mistake is you decided not to include cars, i dont disagree that it was bad, i think cars kinda hindered your theory, although it does follow the same patterns of pixar steps as you described. i was a child from which you described i learned much from the pixar movies and i live my life as they painted my picture, i can still use pixar movies in everyday encounters, look i’m picaso !
i’m rarely posting a reply but you forced me to do it haha kudos for you for putting cute pictures after you showed up the gruesome image of anna…how considerate of you. great review! thumb’s up !
yes, i was a fool... to think that you were ready. thor, odinson, you have betrayed the express command of your king. through your arrogance and stupidity you have opened these realms to the horror and desolation of war. you are unworthy of these realms, you are unworthy of these titles, you are unworthy... of the loved ones you have betrayed. i take from you your power, by my father, and his father before. i, odin allfather, cast you out !

i' m starting my indiegogo campaign tomorrow! i wanted to let you know that you really inspired me to eventually take this step. i' m also offering all the investors the frames they paid for. hope you' re okay with that. tomorrow i already have a radio interview about the project too. good luck shooting your film !

and certainly, as an example of the new french extreme, this film is perfect .
where i pontificate on things (mainly movies) and you read if you want to. spoilers are everywhere, so read at your own peril .
seriously? i wasted 20 minutes of my life on this? and now i’m wasting 20 more posting a comment? i don’t know why i’m so compelled, as i’ve never commented on a blog before in my life, but here goes. i cannot help myself! …. can you say overanalyze ?
on # 5 above, does kickstarter allow you to message your backers? i thought at one point you said you do not get access to their emails until after the campaign .
now — despite my enthusiasm for the film, i can definitely say that it is not one to recommend. in terms of impact the film has, this probably sits just below a serbian film. it’s a really, really good movie, but it’s a full - on sucker punch of a film. it kind of leaves you reeling, because a movie has rarely been so cruel .
second, on a personal note, i always wondered why cars never really twinkled for me and now i think i know. so, thank you. it was a wonderful film and i’ve seen it numerous times (thanks to some younger family members) but it doesn’t fit on the same plate with toy story, wall e, the incredibles, monsters inc. i realize there are people out there who really resonated with cars and that’s totally cool but i never liked it as much and was frankly disappointed when i saw because i was expecting, well, a pixar film. probably doesn’t make any sense to people who liked it, but i feel like i’m not alone here .
i can’t say for certain, but show me another sundance 2011 film that’s currently in the black and isn’t spending money to do so. motherfuck what a hack journo writes about shit his feeble melon can’t process: i made sure my investors got their money back in less than a year (nine months, to be exact). that makes you more attractive to future investors – the ones you’ll need more money from, as the last film you intend to make (the one for which you’ll be seeking financing soon) is a period - piece set in the world of hockey that spans three decades .

most marquee directors hold those twin desires, but none more than steven soderbergh, the iconoclast behind “erin brockovich, ” the “ocean’s eleven” series and “sex, lies and videotape. ” exasperated by the movie business, both financially and creatively, he announced his retirement from film directing in 2011. he said “ side effects ” in 2013 would be his last film .

gary: i' ve made up my mind, and i just sang a song about it .
i think you need to go back to square one and flush out your ideas out a little more .
oh for pete’s sake roll clip and enjoy. i bet you lose sleep over disney cartoons as well .
don’t worry: i’ve got you covered there, too. i always considered film critic amy taubin a friend. i was pretty sure she considered me a friend as well, as she called me after the village voice let her go, asking if i could help her get a book deal. over the years, amy hasn’t always liked the films i made, but at least she never made up horse - shit in her reviews. however, in a sundance 2011 piece she filed with film comment, she lost my respect by being as “careless and heavy - handed” at her job (in print) as she insisted i was at my job (in film) by suggesting nobody would’ve bought red state .
the film begins with a young girl running away from an industrial complex, panicked and bloodied. and by young i mean about 12 years old, if not less. this is 57 seconds into the film, and we already know we’re in an edgier film than most. she runs away, limping and screaming. this is lucie .
on the one hand, you speak to the greatness of every pixar film. on the other hand, you steadfastly deny yourself the experience of another masterpiece, namely cars .
i absolutely love meditating! i never imagined it would work before i tried it… i wish all humans would try it. when i started i just felt a bit calmer and was amazed that this kind of spirit stayed with me the whole time or at least a few days. now i can’t imagine living without it
film reviews: opening this week (aug. 12 - 16, 2013 )
“even if you haven’t seen every film they’ve made (i refuse to watch cars or its preposterous sequel), there is a consistency and quality to pixar’s productions that is hard to deny .
sundance film forward is a touring program which introduces a new generation of audiences to the power of story through the exhibition of film and conversations with filmmakers to create greater cultural awareness .
now, while the violence is indeed brutal, savage, extreme and intense (and all the other adjectives i keep repeating in these reviews) this is also one of the most compelling films i’ve ever seen. you don’t know what’s happening for most of the film, and you’ll find the violence extreme and fucked up, but at the same time, the story will pull you in and make you want to keep watching, incredible as that sounds .

@ jay i completely agree with you! it shows how passionate people are about pixars movies .
wow! very interesting article. but i think you missed the most important point about pixar .
i don' t know why i' m not hosting this ...
i do think he has a point, but i don’t think the messages are “hidden” .
i agree with many of you who are agreeing that this essay is digging too much into what isn’t really there. personally, i know a few animators who work at pixar and i have been obsessed with the industry because i am in it .

thank you to those who pointed out the hayao miyazaki connection. i will definitely be watching and rewatching his catalogue .
i think you were high when you came up with this idea. not because its stupid or anything but because only a stoned person would think of it
i wouldn' t even know where to start with telling you the things i' ve walked into. i think that' s why the paparazzi love me. they know i' m going to end up on my backside looking silly .
but if you’re a fan of fucked up movies, certainly. if you’re the kind of person who boasts about how strong your stomach is and how no horror movie even makes you flinch, yes – this will take you down a peg. if you enjoy provocative and interesting cinema, have no problem reading subtitles, and are prepared to be shocked by a film that does it well, certainly yes .
i' m embarrassed to admit this, but i consciously tried to lose my english accent .
waldorf: well, i hope so; otherwise i just bored the audience half to death .
: well if i wasn' t your first, at least i can be your last .
since that day, i refuse to over analyze stories since you can spin them anyway you want, and everything that comes out of doing so is right and wrong at the same time .
i don’t understand all of this talk of “toys coming to life not being real”. my toys are alive and i talk to them everyday when i come home from work. they get cold when i leave them outside and they miss me when i’m gone. don’t yours ?
very cool man. congrats again, i was happy to donate and i can' t wait to see the end product. also, i was very curious about this side of things - thank you for sharing your metrics. any thoughts on kickstarter vs indiegogo, and why you would use each? i' ve personally gotten $ 4500 for a film from kickstarter, but i was thinking that' s a low enough amount that i could' ve just went the indiegogo route and not faced the dreaded
what if i don' t get it all in time

in all of the reviews i have seen of this film, no - one, not one has understood why mademoiselle removes her wig, head - scarf and make - up at the very end of the film before saying, “keep doubting” and blowing her brains out .
your thesis is well - reasoned, and you had me until you claimed pixar is influencing the policy of a generation. you’re grossly overstating the importance of the message, and incorrectly implying it’s pixar’s invention .
as for the rest of the comments. thank you thank you thank you. even those who are convinced i’ve been on some major mind - altering substances and / or am of sub - par intelligence have given me a mighty chuckle .
i got in trouble with the police last year and i was quite silly about what happened. famous or not, though, everyone does silly things. i am sorry, but i just have to get on with my life. i' m dealing with it .

i think it’s very amusing that everyone has to write in such a scholarly tone. you should all realize that everyone does this because they need self - validation of their own intelligence. (the smarter you sound, the smarter you feel .) in addition, you try to sound smarter than the person you disagree with, in attempt to discredit their argument. clearly i am no exception to this rule, and in acknowledging this, i am attempting to exempt myself from this trend, as i try to sound smarter than you all, which further proves my point .
as a promo, camilla had sung it at the grammy awards, prior to the film .
also it is wise to make sure you think through an idea that you would post to a wide audience such as this, as what you did not think of (like aesop’s fables) will be noticed and you will be roundly beaten with it .
this has been a lightning bolt of inspiration. i' m glad i could be a part of it. it' s funny. i stumbled on your website and started following it not even realizing i met you in philly at diy days. thanks for this. and good luck with the feature .
all joking aside, this is not a new narrative. pixar is simply extremely successful at following a somewhat formulaic plot line. others have done it recently, quickly: happy feet in 2006, ai in 2001, and i am number four in 2011 (lolz) .
i love pixar. i don’t think the message is so thought out about ai and non human, although there is a general respect for all beings. i see the message as about the little guy rising to the challenge and overcoming. and i also love cars .
muppet telethon, no, i don' t know why i' m here ...
do you mind if i quote a few of your articles as long as i provide credit and sources back to your blog? my blog site is in the exact same niche as yours and my visitors would certainly benefit from some of the information you provide here .
here' s what i learned from running a $ 125, 000 kickstarter campaign for my feature film man - child, which became the most funded project in kickstarter' s narrative film category - - for just one day, it turns out .
the show was syndicated absolutely everywhere and made me famous all over the world. i had all kinds of outrageous scenes, and people still think i' m that crazy, bitchy person, and they treat you like it. when you become that famous, people lose their minds when they see you. the thing is, though, you don' t change, but everyone around you does. i still take the subway and clean my own stuff. i do my own laundry. when i left the oc there were a lot of mixed emotions. it was an extreme four years of my life, so it was kind of bittersweet .
as for all of you “haters, ” you throw ad hominems at the author as another way to make you sound smart. and many of you, take the opportunity to call out the “haters” so you can validate the compassionate side of your being. you think that defending the author against cheap attacks makes you look like a good person, but you really have no vested interest in the author. after all, the internet is merely a conglomerate of individual, anonymous minds. my suggestion is to stop seeking for validation on the internet. you don’t have to sound smart, you don’t have to sound moral, and you don’t have to sound wise. if it gives you confidence, then fine, just know that that confidence was always in you, and you don’t need blogging and posting to bring it out. but then again, sometimes its good just to hear yourself speak, no? however, i think the author would prefer if we stayed on point in their discussion…

i love how you exclude and “refuse to watch” cars for no other reason than it blows your silly theories to smithereens. cars is a fantastic film with a ton of heart, a nice message and tons of reverence for the car and travel culture that’s disappearing in this country .
well, i can’t get doc hollywood out of my head when i watch cars, but i still love it despite that. maybe not new, but still unique .
the funny part is that every story is worth telling if told the right way. there’s always something in there that can make the story. the trick is to find it. you can’t beat a great writer. i’ve seen some writers take the most mundane topic and make it extraordinary. i aspire to be one of those people, and i think i’m getting closer. in any case, i’m much better than i used to be .

and i thought hollywood movies only had zionist, jewish and israeli propaganda. pixar has simply found a formula for successful animated movies and you just wrote a whole article on bs. some relative of yours gave you this writing job on this site ?

when i lived in new york i tried really hard to ditch the british accent to fit in. i went to classes and everything. i ended up putting on this terrible' nu yawk' accent and hid behind that for a while. now i don' t try to hide it so much, but my accent slips all over the place. it' s a mess - i don' t sound like i' m from anywhere any more .
suffice it to say: if you can assemble a team of trusted and competent people to help you with your project, do it. i built this website myself and have gotten very efficient at executing a variety of tasks back - to - back, so i felt i could manage the campaign better by working full - time (or double full - time) myself than i could if i was managing others. but this is a fairly unique situation, and not a task i' ll be putting myself through again. if you already have a cast and crew assembled, they can certainly help promote your campaign. strength in numbers .
wow! you' re not kidding when you say you really pay attention to the metrics. this is amazingly helpful to someone like me, who one day soon will probably undertake this same effort .
you raised the money cos you' re a genius! and hugely talented and respected in the industry. will read this when my eyes work better. thanks koo and good luck with the feature .
any good business person tries to limit their costs to maximize their profits. if i accompany the film at all public exhibitions, then i can charge what any movie theater would consider a premium, because i’m giving the audience real 3d – me, answering their questions right there in the third dimension – as opposed to that murky bullshit they’re overcharged for this summer. i refuse to buy my opening with millions of dollars when i can accompany the film into the world and return more profits to my investors than fellow sundance 2011 alumnus cedar rapids can return to searchlight (this is not me slagging on cedar rapids – the fox searchlight flick that followed us in the eccles that night at sundance; like every flick miguel arteta directs, cedar rapids is worth your time) .
in the trailers, statler and waldorf asking if the muppets film will be in 3d is a reference to muppet vision 3 d .
remember the case of the white teacher who told the black student to sit down and said, “sit down, nigga. ” and then the teacher is chastised by the administration and of course there is social disruption. he said, “i didn’t say ‘sit down, nigger, ’ i said ‘sit down, nigga, ’ and that’s what i hear the students saying. ” i’m thinking, first, you are an adult, white teacher. secondly, do you imitate everything that you see and hear others doing or saying? at some level, there has to be some self - critique and critical awareness and sensitivity to difference. just because someone else is doing it doesn’t mean that i do it even if and when i surely can .

the article would have been ok if the author had simply said, “this is what i got from pixar movies. ” great, that’s a personal matter, i’m glad you got something positive from your experience, i didn’t see any of that when i watched the movies, but your analysis is your own .
i' m the only girl in la with her own collection of' allo' allo and blackadder dvds. that' s what i love most about britain - the humour and the pubs. i' m a real pub girl. i' m a bit of a tomboy - most of my friends are guys. i' m into all my handbags, but i can also drink a pint. i like to glam up, but i also love to rough it when the time' s right. i' m never happier than when sleeping out in a camp with the lads. i adore road trips. i' m very spontaneous, and there' s nothing cooler than just getting on the road and driving somewhere. i did it the other week - my friend and i just started travelling south not knowing where we were going. we drove through oklahoma, nebraska, wherever. i' m thinking of buying a winnebago truck next year .
but the cruelty of the film is a bit like the torturers themselves; it’s not malicious. it’s not a film trying to shock you and repulse you, like any number of torture - porn films of the current ilk, an obvious case being hostel or a more obvious example in the malignant a serbian film. its cruelty is naturally derived from the intensity of the story; toning the violence down would make the mystery in the story less effective. it’s full on, but it’s contextual, and never exploitative .

i found myself getting sucked into this post because i wanted to find the hidden message of pixar. i did not, perhaps the meaning is hidden somewhere in the body of text .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans. it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
thank you so much. i really hate mildly pointing out that something is problematic only to have everyone pile on saying “oh you just hate everything, you joyless pc husk, learn to enjoy life for a change…” but enjoying life (and lots of stuff) to the fullest and recognizing that shit is fucked up are not mutually exclusive; in fact i think they’re mutually dependent .
los angeles — i want movie studios to keep their grubby paws off my money. and i want complete control over how my films are marketed .
i get your message, but by refusing to see cars (and its sequel), you’ve pretty much destroyed the whole point you’re making. also, wall - e is probably the only pixar film that is rooted between human and non - human…. literally as its main theme. the other pixar movies were more about “finding yourself”, “accepting others”, or “accepting yourself for who you are” without “humanity” being anywhere in their focus .
“consumption of film entertainment has become that much more immediate, fans simply can’t and won’t wait like they used to, ” says bourdillon .
the lengthy hold - up sprang from the fact that their little independently made horror flick—shot inconspicuously over the course of one month in columbia, missouri, in mid - 2011—was purchased for distribution by the legendary genre film distributor lionsgate films, the company that released american psycho (2000) before solidifying its legacy in 2004 by launching the now - iconic saw franchise. now that you' re next is finally being unveiled theatrically, lionsgate' s been killing it with the pre - release promotions, bombarding bus stops, subway stations, and highway billboards with the film' s clever marketing strategy: sell the hell out of those animal masks. such enthusiastic marketing is easy for a major studio when the film in question delivers the goods, and you' re next does .

i wouldn’t go as far as the author did, but all the same i enjoyed the (over) analysis. the strongest statement i’ll make against it is this: i suspect the author’s cognitive biases got in the way of an otherwise fair observation .
i’m really intrigued by this by not fully satisfied. i’d like to hear someone analyze this stuff through history. for instance :

i disagree eddie, you’ve never had a pet? animals are sentient, i think all living things are sentient (able to feel) just because we don’t understand it, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. i seriously doubt pixar is doing it on purpose .
if you acknowledge the elements of the media that is problematic, then i don’t think you’re condoning it at all! if you say “hey, x is a great show but this thing they do on it is not cool” is pretty far from condoning it because you’re engaging with the media critically. i think there’s room for a lot more nuance in conversations about social justice (and all conversations in fact) than just x is bad, and y is good .

your story is simply put - inspirational. trying to do the same thing with our film bereave starring malcolm mcdowell & neve campbell. it is very difficult. if you have some free time, i loved your video, and we tried a humorous approach with ours. please check us out. blog if you can, support. much love. urltoken
also, the characters are interestingly crafted – you never know how lucie is going to act as she’s really unpredictable, anna’s an interesting character and even when she does silly things, you don’t judge her for them, and mademoiselle is, despite being the big bad of the film, not a character you hate or boo and hiss at. when she kills herself, it’s not a moment to cheer at .
good post. i learn something totally new and challenging on websites i stumbleupon everyday. it will always be exciting to read articles from other authors and practice something from other sites .

i haven' t lived here since i was tiny, but my entire family is british and i' ve been raised as a brit. my sister lives and works in london as a barrister, but nobody can get their head round the fact i' m anything but a hollywood girl. in the us nobody thinks of me as american, and here, nobody believes i' m british .
as a filmmaker who’s proud of his now - in - profit art, i don’t care how the audience initially sees my flick anymore: if vod is the easiest way to get my specialized, non - commercial, non - studio flick to them, i’m happy to pipe it directly into their homes and laptops. i’m a grown - up and i accept that i can’t have everything i want in life all at once; sometimes, as my wife has taught me, you’ve gotta settle for the fat guy .
hell, if you go far enough back you can find elements of it in shakespeare, arthurian legends, the mabinogion, even the old testament .
congrads again and thanks for sharing so much information and knowledge. although i am a photographer i have been following your blog for a while now and can say that your recent success has been timely inspiration as i am currently struggling and on my way to living out of a suitcase ...
the oscar - winning film was awarded the “no animals were harmed” stamp, despite an aha official having witnessed the incident .
none of this is a new revelation by pixar. just look at the teaching of lord buddha or tao philosophy and you will see that people had the right ideas about our place in nature and perspective long ago. i only hope that this mindfulness will return and whatever medium is used to promote it i am all for. unfortunaly after reading others responses i see that humanity has a long way to go. please broaden your horizons through education and exploration and for gods sakes have an open mind or you will never see the world around you .

good post and good insights! i always enjoy watching movies more when i make a game out of trying to decipher the messages they are “programming” into me .
i don’t support transhumanism or equal rights for animals and the like. i am in fact a hard - line biblical creationist with all of the concurrent prejudices -
you can’t have your cake and it eat too. if you are trying to develop a unified theme throughout pixar movies, you don’t just get to toss out cars because it doesn’t fit your theory. i imagine many aspects of cars, and other pixar movies, have as much to do with the technology of movie making as they do with the story or its themes. you can’t shunt that to the side .
lakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you director boots riley discuss the stress of filming sex scenes .
elements of the muppets take manhattan are referenced, including kermit and piggy' s wedding photo, but in this film they were never actually married .
most of the audience was sent there by a nearby company, which bought the tickets and gave employees half a day off to watch the film .
to those who think i’m paranoid – no, i don’t think pixar is doing this deliberately. i think they are capitalizing (both $ $ and story - wise) on latent beliefs that people possess but struggle to express .
for the fair majority of people, i’d say no. brilliant though it is, it’s the kind of movie that will leave you saddened, and you’ll feel despair at what poor anna is put through, instead of seeing it as part of a compelling mystery. it’s the kind of movie that will make you wonder why people make movies like this, if you’re not already steeled for it .
i am proud to have been in one of your first film projects (' it' s on' - - still pull out the vhs and watch it from time to time... .), proud to have supported this project, and can' t wait to see the result. good luck to you and keep rockin .
your planner helps you schedule your entire sff experience. it shows sessions you' ve saved, purchased or added to your cart in a helpful timeline .
and now, because i can’t resist, i have to bring up the one point i did disagree with. i feel that “cars” also fits into this description of personalization. like the stage that describes “the incredibles, ” it is not the level of skill or how a car is built that determines how “human” or personable a car is, but, as the author points out, “the choices you make and the way you treat others determines how human you really are. ” not to mention the level of success in life, and the level of happiness that “person” has .
the acting between the two lead ladies are brilliant, barton in particular adapts to the russian accent flawlessly, had i not been aware previously that she was an american i would have thought she was russian, and i can honestly say that i' ve never seen a film like this before. the plot is loose at times, highly unbelievable for one and poorly constructed for two. the script is probably what i am most ashamed of, in places it' s dull, not needed and slightly childish. after waiting since 2008 for this to come out i cannot say it was worth it. a delay of 5 years warrants a better end product i' m afraid. not to mention the dvd i was sent refused to play audio until i spent the good part of an hour tampering with the settings .
it' s definitely going in the right direction but i' m finding it harder than i expected, even with all the knowledge i had prior to it launching. it very much is a full time job, although i currently have a full time job so fitting it around everything is a trick i' m yet to fully master.
