That would explain why Seven was good and Mulholland Drive was not.

you not responding to anythign i said except correctingg your error proves my point.youre about

re as good at debating as you are at thinking for your self while you watch a movie.  im done replying to anything you write in this post or in any other post.  you slam an award winning filmmaker and have an icon and name based onbased on an ad campaign (or bad cartoon) not sure which.  so you know trying to be the film critic doesnt seem suitable for you.  but yeh anyway enjoy vgchartz.

Remember what I said about Mulholland Drive?

It makes no sense at all, but people don't want to admit that they don't get it, so they call it brilliant.

Nobody I know could make any sense out of Mulholland Drive (nor any of their friends), but maybe it's because we are all bad at thinking for ourselves while watching a movie. Whatever you use as a starting point to make sense out of MD, you always run into contradictions.

In this thread nobody was willing to explain Silent Hill 3 to me (except fazz) and the answer to the glaring flaw in logic of SH3 (that the baby thing doesn't work like that) is written off by saying that SH has no connections to real life anyway. Then why even use humans as characters if they aren't humans?

The connection between Mulholland Drive and SH3 is that the people who say that they "get it" are unable to provide a convincing argument that they in fact do understand what's going on and that the events are following a string of logic. Those who don't get it, can't think for themselves. And if the explanation is questioned then it's said that an overarching logic is irrelevant to the topic.

What you see as a brilliant story is more like the work of a writer who has written himself into a dead end and looked for some way to get out of this trap. The result are stories that make no sense all things considered.

You have a point there. I've always thought that Silent Hill 1 and 3 are more like B-horror movies, while SH 2, 4 and SM lean more towards the psychological thriller. That's why I enjoy the latter more.

But the same could be said about Resident Evil games, being them B-horror movies, they're just better explained and they don't use paranormal things on their plots, they just use the "science gone wrong" theme, which could actually make more sense in the end.
