A movie doesn't have to make perfect sense to be a piece of art. I hate how people dislike Richard Kelly's films because they "don't get it" or "the story didn't make sense." It's so sad that the only thing people think a movie can be is just some story that entertains you for 2 hours. Why can't it be a piece of art that stays with you for years? Southland Tales doesn't make sense to me but I love it so much. I love that Richard Kelly's movies stay with you long after they're over.
Once you get to the point where you feel that everything around you in this society stops making sense,just like in this movie,you get the idea that you should forgive yourself for being you,just like you should forgive the other self. Life is a ride.Love is the only thing that is real. Enjoy your own movie.
You and otherselves are one, literally mirror of each other. Accept, forgive and love and you will not need anything you thought was so important and see that it was all there the whole time.
Loved this film... hope it eventually gets the huge recognition it deserves. So much of the same crap thrown out there over and over in the theaters. This film was a huge daring statement on so many issues in the US when it came out and still today. Might not have been a perfect film but it was definitely a piece of art. Acting was stellar at times, humorous, thought-provoking and so much more. Richard Kelley is far too ahead of the general population at this time.
Contender for the most underrated movie of all time, and definitely one of the best I’ve ever seen. Hope Kelly will eventually bless us with another vision of his, in whatever medium he wants
Same here, I had a tv recording of it but it got deleted, now I have bought the blu ray online, can’t wait for its delivery, can’t wait to watch it in HD
Sometimes my friend, it's not the money that matters. Dwayne is noted saying: "He felt he had something to prove to other actors and directors. That he's not just muscle and mild comedy, that you can give him a part and he can play it. Just give him a chance." Sometimes... it's all about paying yourself in pride.
This song by Moby and these scenes are a perfect match. Ira Te nixON summed it perfectly-“This is how the world ends, not with a whimper, but a bang.” Spot on! Just an unforgettable movie!
One of the best movies ever, when you come face to face with yourself you see everything. We never see our own faces, only in mirrors and ripples in water.
Love this movie, scene, and song! I wish that this song had played all the way through. In the movie I think it ends when Boxer fires the gun, it fits perfectly over the whole ending. Nicely done!
I don't understand why there was so much hatred for this movie. I just watched the 2.5 hour version and while it was never quiet, I didn't find it overwhelming. I admit, though, that i am a sucker for a good score and I thought the music and score throughout were just amazing. I think I'm going to have to watch it again to fill in the blanks, though. TLDR: I love this scene.
It’s a bit of an incoherent mess that you can’t really understand unless you read the prequel graphic novels. It’s pretty clear why people didn’t like this movie when it came out
Watched this movie as a kid, it was on a steaming service on my Xbox, I can't believe I'm here though, I guess now, all that's left is to just rewatch it.
Agreed, while it was an epic fail as Kelly tried so hard to do so much... the theatrical release is still solid after a few watches, while the 160 minute Cannes Film Festival Cut is by far the best format. This is slowly gaining cult status over the years, more and more people are beginning to actually understand the message, like the "twin Sean William Scotts" are really just "learn to forgive yourself for being you" and so on.... though the film is entirely full of subtle messages.
Eventhough the movie was, to many self-absorbed entities who wouldnt know a good film if it fell from their egotistical butts, a flop, there is one unequivocable truth...no one rocks the c**k like Crista Now and I mean no one!!😆
And in both it was the fantastic music too that really made them shine bright totally unique and i respect that to me it's an art film that's saying a lot aswell as being funny and deep all at once it deserves more respect.i watched this on a little bit of K with an old friend and I said "this film with Moby's amazing uplifting and emotional melodies is almost made to be watched on a mild to moderate ketamine dose and u stop trying to figure out everything and get enveloped by the atmosphere, humour,and total beautiful absurdity that is this amazing movie the 240min one a@@cglenister
This obviously isn’t one of Dwaynes biggest hits, but it’s one of the first films he was in (cause this was still one of the first few years he was acting full time) and a performance where you began to say to yourself “Ah yes, this bloke can Act 👌”
in both this and d.darko it was largely the fantastic music too that really made them shine bright totally unique, to me it's an art film that's also saying a lot as being funny and deep all at once! it deserves more respect.i watched this on a bit of K with an old friend and I said "this film with Moby's amazing uplifting and emotional melodies is almost made to be watched on a mild to moderate ketamine dose" and u stop trying to figure out everything and just get enveloped by the atmosphere, humour,and total beautiful absurdity warts and all ;-) that is this amazing movie the 240min one for me this soundtrack is unreal and really uplifting all the way
@@beanmchne it Has to have something to do with were i was in my life at the time ,but also it made me think and i find that important.Strong impresion.Sorry for bad english
@@Brutus983 that makes total sense. I had gotten a divorce, and my life was finally getting back to a good place when I first saw Southland Tales. I really love the strange mix of weird characters also. Thanks for the reply.
Dwayne, in this movie, was a representation of society. His amnesia, represents that society has forgotten who it is, and what it is. The fact he's making a movie on it is representation, is that society sees it's own future without realizing it and wants to believe it's not real. The blood on his back at the end shows society is dying, and will die before the rest of the world falls. Ergo - Blimp = the world, crashing to it's death by the hands of a fate it designed. That answer it for ya?
Mandy Moore is a tall girl. Wikipedia says that she's 5"10. I know this isn't related to the video but, she made a clothing line for tall girls like her. Wow.
Every night humans pray to be saved..... and I pray that when we go its quick because we are so sick. Where's that meteor God? blast us back to the oneness..........
Err... what? So Stifler touching himself (hur hur) makes an ice cream van float in mind-air? And were The Rock and Buffy on the blimp? And therefore they all died?
Way to edit out the lines that the Rock and Gellar spoke to each other on the stage. At least notify people that this is your re-edited jumble instead of them thinking this is the way the movie actually is.
As I understood its the middle of 3 books to go with? Pt1. book, Pt2. movie. Pt3. book. I heard this after first watched and must find out more? Anyways apart I enjoyed movie and its not that hard to get your head around. Also the book of revelations fits the tail
apparently there was a comic book that explains all this shit but we never got to read it. but it seems to me like they made it so it wouldnt make sense on purpose. that way no one could say whether it sucks ass or not. but it does. suck ass, i mean.
naw you never find out the meaning of this movie ..but to prepare for a future with chaos, famine and destruction of humanity... war will bring humanity down and start a new begining

This in my top 5 favorite films of all time. But yet, I can't explain why. I just absolutely love it, and the graphic novels that went with it.
"This is how the world ends, not with a whimper, but a bang..."
Awesome....
'This is how the world will end, Not with a bang but a whimper' is a T.S. Elliot quote.

Truly, one of the most beautiful and disturbing things you can watch.
Here I am a year later, forgetting I commented and almost typed out the exact same sentence. This movie gets better and better. Pure genius.
And the Big Bang is likely an infinite number of rifts in space time caused by timeline paradoxes.
Watched this movie couple of weeks before i got married. So, sorry people, but this is the best movie I've ever seen. ✌️ Peace
this is probably one of the only movies i could watch again and again, and then want to watch it again
Same here, I had a tv recording of it but it got deleted, now I have bought the blu ray online, can’t wait for its delivery, can’t wait to watch it in HD
still waiting for Richard Kelly to make another movie....
Sometimes my friend, it's not the money that matters. Dwayne is noted saying: "He felt he had something to prove to other actors and directors. That he's not just muscle and mild comedy, that you can give him a part and he can play it. Just give him a chance." Sometimes... it's all about paying yourself in pride.
I never thought I would think or say it but Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson you are one good actor man!
Nah he was good in this movie!
the meaning of this film is that if you ever were given the chance to meet yourself you would meet God, because God is everything.
Still a favourite 15 years later
2021 release from Arrow was phenomenal
Un grand moment de cinéma. À jamais gravé dans mes rétines. Tout est parfait dans cette scène.
This song by Moby and these scenes are a perfect match. Ira Te nixON summed it perfectly-“This is how the world ends, not with a whimper, but a bang.” Spot on! Just an unforgettable movie!
Music to be played when ushering in the end of the world... this is prophetic.
One of the best movies ever, when you come face to face with yourself you see everything. We never see our own faces, only in mirrors and ripples in water.
One of the best scenes i ever seen in cinema.
Love this movie, scene, and song! I wish that this song had played all the way through. In the movie I think it ends when Boxer fires the gun, it fits perfectly over the whole ending.
Nicely done!
Can't stop enjoying this .
Amazing,brilliant and very deep if you know a thing or two about the creation. I love this movie. Forgiveness is freedom.
this scene is iconic, and i give my utmost respect to those actors that participated in it

It's up there with Donnie Darko
This film was released pre US overseas as it was doomed too controversial at the time but if you look at it now it's like a bad SNL/mad tv skit

its a good movie solid cast solid story very entertaining, deep and most importantly smart. Intelligent movies make the most impact

I have to admit. After the past two years - we all need to apologize to Kelly for shooting down this movie.
Just like "Revolver",totally agree. Things i have understood from this are just priceless.
Awesome! Thank you. I love the film and this is one of the most amazing moments. :)

The most bizarre (in a good way) film I've ever seen.
I guess you havent seen a lot of movies. Seriously. Sure, this is bizarre. It's not that bizarre.
i loved that movie!
I was told that Mohawk always looked pissed off because someone stole his shirt. 😅 I can't forget that.
What a great movie and what a three-some The Rock,Mandy Moore and Sarah Michelle Gellar..
i love these kinds of movies :D

delayed answer but no. i read the pre-quel books and it makes sense. plus the cannes longer version.
This film was a mess. But it had some really cool and interesting moments. It just needed more restraint.
not with a whimper.
this movie made no type of sense but the ending was good
so this is how the world will end, stupidity... :)

Now how would you know that? You don't know me. But I know that movie sucked. LOL
This movie was about an hour and a half waste of my time.
fail.
Crapfest of a movie. Not worth wasting time on, even with the great Moby soundtrack.
