The Man Who Fell To Earth

[SoupRKnowva]

I blind bought this film on the Criterion Blu Ray from amazon in my last order. It looked interesting, as a science fiction film starring david bowie as an alien who came to get water for his planet. At least thats what i thought it was going to be. The film completely surprised me, it was nothing like what i thought it was going to be. I didnt think it was bad per say. i just dont understand it at all. If some of you who have watched it might be willing to chime in your thoughts on it, it would help to enjoy the film more the next time i watch it. Dont get the wrong impression, i was actually never bored, and i thought it was good, i was just confused...

Yeah, it's a sci-fi "art film," but it rocks!


I totally enjoyed it, and am glad I bought it.

I have this in my netflix queue but have been thinking about blind buying it.
everyone seems to say it requires several viewings.

i was thinking the exact same thing, i think that next time im gonna watch it with the commentary on to try to get a better understanding of what the director was trying to convey. i dont regret blind buying it at all though
