dashrendar44 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Highly doubt The Host would work as a good Godzilla film. I know enough about it that as a Godzilla film it'd be terrible. It works on multiple levels and being a good Godzilla homage is one of those multiple levels. That's how good and mind-blowing this movie is, managed to juggle multiple tones (social satire, monster movie, drama, action) and layers while still being a tight and masterful movie with its own flair and style.

Mulder Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 It's not a Godzilla film. It's The Host. Just watch it and find out. I'm not saying it is. I'm saying that dashrendar saying it'd be a good Godzilla film is just ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyGossamer Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 There is more social commentary in one shot of The Host than the entire Godzilla 2014. The Host was a better Godzilla than Godzilla 2014. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Hell, there's more scathing commentary in the inspired design of the monster in The Host than anything in any of the aforementioned monster flicks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 So, where do you guys think Edge of Tomorrow is headed? Looks really interesting to me, and will hopefully be a fun time at the movies. Fault will utterly annihilate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrendar44 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) I was talking about the themes of the film. Not the backstory of the monsters. "The arrogance of Man is thinking Nature is in under our control" You can't be more obvious and unsubtle at exposing the theme when you serve it on a silver plate with a character speaking it loudly to the audience out of whack.

dashrendar44 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) I'm not saying it is. I'm saying that dashrendar saying it'd be a good Godzilla film is just ludicrous. I said The Host is a better Godzilla in spirit than Godzilla 2014 as an allegory. And human characters are much more compelling and three dimensional. I mean just the daddy character is a riot to watch. In the course of the movie, you find him pathetic, dumb, endearing, comical, heroic, desperate. I really felt for his plea. That oddball family of his is just so lovable, you just root for them. The monster is also fascinating as it is goofy, terrifying and beautiful to watch dive gracefully. That's the Host, marrying lot of antonymic qualities in an homogenic ensemble. Edited May 17, 2014 by dashrendar44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Wang Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 The arrogance of mankind trying to control nature. Keeping the MUTO captive and then trying to use the nuke against them. Okay, a one-off line of dialogue doesn't count as social commentary. Any movie could do that. To me, if a movie is really trying to say something, it has to permeate throughout the entire feature. This is why it's so hard to pull of because it's incredibly easy to go way overboard and then it becomes too heavy handed and/or on-the-nose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
