Read Go OFF
Send to a friend I actually understand the simple brilliance behind the Blair Witch Project. that doesn't mean I thought it revolutionized the world of cinema, though, or even lived up to what it could have been. That being said, I can appreciate the concept of making believe it was actual footage for at least the first half, before the cameraman had no reason to be filming.Cloverfield took that problem and made it into the whole movie. the camera films at apparently random points (ostensibly for the advancement of 'plot') never runs out of battery, and worst of all is not completely garbled by the 'surprise' ending hinted at by the opening. so called 'minor' plot points are introduced, then tossed aside in favor of running from one unlikely peril and even more unlikely escapes to the next.
I get that it was either a movie for entertaining people or it was a statement about how the average person sacrifices his privacy for the convenience of cameras, or even the theory that it was about how having so many cameras easily available means more coverage from more points of view. It was not, however, any of these things because it tried to be all of them.
Possibly the most annoying aspect, however, was how each and every person I know seemed to love this movie.
