Unforgettable
24 April 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I watched this as a part of my film studies course. The professor said beforehand that if we forgot everything else about the course, we would remember T,O,U,C,H,I,N,G. Jesus... he was right. The idea of the film is simple: one flashing image, repeated over and over again, while a booming, mechanical voice shouts "Destroy!" seemingly endlessly for twelve minutes. Eventually the word "destroy" seems to become other words. Eventually you end up in a kind of trance. It's a powerful and disturbing experience. Many students in my class detested it, and I could understand why. One dude claimed to have had a migraine headache for three hours after watching the film. If anyone had been epileptic, we would have certainly had an incident. I loved the movie personally, because it was so brazenly different. But it is definitely not for everyone.
