I just saw this movie today. I also go to film school so I look at multiple different aspects of film. This film was outstanding to me. Very gripping, instense. I recommend it. Feel free to post your feelings on this film.
I saw the 4th Kind twice this week. There is a lot of hype about that film right now about the credibility of the footage. There are several things I have to say about it if you get the chance to see it. One, it's disturbing which stays in the general consensus of belief about the film. The other part is the controversial idea due to the so called "actual footage". As a film student I know there are sides that support the actual footage for privacy of the people and in film that MUST be followed due to the laws of film-making. So what people say about it not being credible are either non-believers or are illiterate to the laws behind film making and didn't take that into consideration before making a judgment about the film. People do have the tendency to cling to their faith in the belief system according to their own personality. Thus in the end it's left up to interpretation and what you believe in. This being said about truth in film and the way our population thinks and behaves as a whole this would be the best way to portray actual events in reinactment if it completely insulted our belief system which includes the Church. For privacy concerns- people, locations, and job descriptions MUST get changed to protect the identity. The real people behind the events would be harassed beyond any yet documented harassment and possibly widespread panic and death. So "if" this film is actual and real, the "real event" people will automatically remain hidden. Furthermore when actual DVD's come out for the films possibly and hopefully there will be behind the scenes footage. That will help support the story but yet unfortunately since most of us are not part of the behind the scenes "politics" of film and government the entire truth may be distorted due to the corruption of our ways of life. As one point of the film says however, "follow the facts", and there is a lot of fact even if the story alone was fictitious. That alone, makes it more disturbing. The footage of the "actual events" are truly disturbing as I look at acting aspects. If the "Dr." was a payed actor, she deserves an Oscar for the performance as it was the most believable job I have seen regarding her emotions as I personally have yet to see an actor portray such sorrow and hollowness that real. I encourage you to see it however, I think it's a must see. I as well as the maker and Milla Jovovich who plays the Doctor will still say that it's left up to you to believe in whatever you want to believe. This is all the energy I have right now to type down my review on the film. Maybe in time I will follow up on this and put more of what I know into it which may include the history of the tablets that are in the film. There is a great deal of evidence in those as it dates prior to when the Bible was written. It's a part of our history that has been here the longest. Again, follow the facts.
that fanatics throw a bitch fit every time the real universe doesn't conform to what they want to pretend to know, is rather old news. and doesn't really tell me what this thing is supposed to be about.
