Dude, you've some misconceptions about these "mocumentary". In the same line I hope you are yet to watch "District 9", "Trollhunter", "Thale", "The Tunnel", "Rec", "Rec:2" and obviously "V/H/S...

Mocumentary is a way of filming, don't just think everything is true and IDK how you got the misconception that every director would go this far to hide their actors for over a year. And, neither did the producers/director of "BWP"

he must have thought like that bcoz they say in the start "Based on True events/story...."

Googled and found out --- pa series = mockumentary ..... Till now I thought the pa series was tried to pose off as a documentary and hence proposed hibernation.

Democracy is a myth
No -- atleast the bwp claims it to be the original footage. And that makes it a documentary and not a mockumentary.
He bhagwan!!!

Did you watch "Cloverfield" even that says based on true story and "REC" says from the archive of military! They all 'claim' to be original and that is how and why its called 'mockumentary'!

The way they filmed bwp it seemed less of a mockumentary... errr... i pretty much always knew what a mockumentary meant ---- just that i thought pa series and bw pjct were tried to be projected as docs. Instead of true events, I had a pitcure in my mind that they claimed to show the real footage. lol. But now I know.:oops:

Also rec and cloverfield were obvious mocks. That way do you think i watched PaAN SINGH TOMAR as a doc ?? LOL. My misconception between doc and mock was restricted to pa series and bwp.

went to see Cloud Atlas, too bad, had to leave hall during intermission, didn't check it was a ~3hr movie.

well, it looked good when i was in there, nice screenplay and scene choreography with 4 stories. at first felt a bit confusing, but as it started flowing the interconnections started to become clearer. just wish they showed subtitles, that would be much helpful to understand the flow for us. i noticed ppl in hall getting frustrated, such a brain /**/ing movie. :D

it looked like a better version of fountain, the stories were quite interesting except Xun Zhou's hair was a mess and those heavy smoking parts better had been shortened. not really a supporter of that. :x

anyways, will try to see again for the second half at least, if i get chance.

It's pretty sad that you had to leave the movie in half. Although I might say you are lucky in respect that you will get another chance to understand the beginning if you try to get a second viewing.

I happen to catch the show today morning. And I am still trying to figure out parts of the story to the extent that I have spent about two hours now on IMDb discussion threads reading about Cloud Atlas and trying to find the connections between the six intertwined stories in the movie. (Yes, there were six of them, not four).

I haven't read the novel based on which Cloud Atlas is based on, but to the novel remarked as "Unfilmable" I think Wachowski's have done a great job. Visually the movie is stunning, and editing is very coherent and fluid.

For me only problem was the highly accented dialogues. If only the movie was subbed I could have understood it more deeply :p

The action part of the movie is little less then I expected. But nevertheless movie was intriguing to an extent that I might go for a second watch.

^^ my bad. i kinda had the feeling that the 2 futuristic stories are same.

i may not get to see that in hall, these "not-so popular movies" dont remain for more than a week and i probably wont get time before next saturday. :eek: well well.

yah sub would be great, i remember they showing sub in "inception", which was very helpful.

Lost in speed
Run Lola Run - 10/10

The movie is all about, "How external factors influence a person in a situation, which will ends up in different consequences!" - thus hosts 3 endings for a simple story.
I hope, many saw this film already _ But my bad, i saw it yesterday.

Ragini MMS is not a porn...watch it once if u haven't...:p

LOL... He is kinda right...Actually its about a ghost screwing up the plan of a guy who is trying to make porn. :D
The movie would have been kinda what he thought if the ghost didn't interrupt in the middle. :D
