| Posted by: dellamorte dellamore at July 2, 2008, 6:56 am | | Topic: Speed Racer Forum: JoBlo | | We have to hold the line until the film's popularity takes it's proper place amongst the classics . I just want to reiterate that i'm not attacking Space , he's an excellent and intelligent shmoe , but we need a place to discuss this film , even if a number of people don't like it . For me personally , i don't want to start any " they didn't get it " posts like i have in the past , or start any more squabbling . I want to enjoy discussing SR , and that's all . One thing you haven't done yet Max is articulate what you enjoyed about specific scenes , allright , you have to a certain extent , but what scenes genuinely made you sit up and take notice . I already mentioned one in particular , it really caught me by surprise , and it was exhilarating to watch the first time . It's when Racer X attempted to rescue a fellow kidnapped racer . It was akin to a psychedelic version of Batman ( people have to see it to understand what i mean ) . Racer flew in like a bat out hell , like he was a ghost appearing out of nowhere . It was utterly brilliant , the entire sequence , and there was a bit of dark humor to enhance the proceedings also ( love the fish tank scene ) . The look of Racer X's car speeding down the roadway is a benchmark moment , it's all kinds of amazing . There's so many more iconic set pieces to be found though , and there's so much going on that multiple viewings are in order . Pretty much every single frame in the film has something to offer , but anything dealing with the cars is terrific . You can get a sense of otherworldly speed , and i know some people mentioned it before , but the effects are so masterful , that you actually start believing that these cars can do some of these maneuvers for real . |
