Hey m dot. I didn't know where to put this, so here it goes...

Just got the DVD today...
Honestly, it wasn't what I was expecting. Not in a good way, and not in a bad way. It was a lot slower than I expected, but I suppose that's good. It gave me a chance to absorb everything, and search for the deep emotional meaning this movie has.
The story was kinda lacking, but that was the least of all the matters. Halfway through, I realized that I should stop searching for the storyline altogether, and just take in the moment. The moment of that I, as well as hundreds of others, have found refuge in a film like this. You're the leader of all of us anarchists, and "We Are The Strange" is your big "eff you!" to the rest of the world.

This isn't a movie. It's a statement. And you're truly not a filmmaker, but an amazingly gifted artist. If Christophe Gans hadn't given in to the pressures of big budget hollywood filmmaking, this is what the Silent Hill movie would have looked like (content-wise, not visually).

Keep doing what your doing, man. I respect you in ways you can't imagine, your workmanship and tenacity is that of a god. I'm glad I (FINALLY) got to watch it, and I SERIOUSLY look forward to your next feature film.

Best regards,

Rylan

PS: Best seller on Filmbaby... ? I think so!

PPS: I realize there is a storyline, and I understand it clearly. It's just that it felt kinda... umm, thin.

Should have put in this thread

I'm not a mod so I cant move it, but yeah lol

Also, the storyline is mostly told through subtext. So it's there, but you have to work the gray matter a bit to understand it fully.
Watching it at least 4 times helps also
