Everyone has watched a home invasion movie. we know all the story beats to home invasion movies. The family hides, gets injured, but the good guys win, and the bad guys get what they deserve. this movie is a big fuck you to the audience and the home invasion genre.
when the credits roll I was just sitting there thinking
"WHAT? What the fuck was that? what happened? WTF?!?!'
so I immediately went to you-tube to figure out what the fuck I just watched. fortunately for me, I found a great video by a channel called storyograph called Funny games ending explained. its a really great video that highlights exactly what the fuck I just sat through. and basically, this is what the director had to say about this movie.
" You want fast-paced action and suspense? Do you want to nudity? Do you want to gore? well, fuck you for wanting that. you must be a sick son of a bitch to watch this movie. you feel good about yourself? you enjoy watching this family tortured and murdered? the fuck is wrong with you? well, I'm going to make this movie long as fuck, not show you any gore or real violence, and give you no satisfying ending. because fuck you." -Michael Haneke
OK, that's not a real quote, but that definitely the kind of energy this movie has. that being said, I kind of enjoyed this movie. this film is terribly boring, but I kind of love it for that. I remind me of the David Lynch style of movie-making. fuck you, I'm making the movie I want to make. who gives a fuck how long a scene is. it's an odd movie that I doubt I will be watching again anytime soon. that being said I think this movie is really unique and worth watching at least once
7/10
