"mind· VULGAR SLANG, noun, noun: mind , "a disturbing or extremely confusing experience, in particular one that is caused by deliberate psychological manipulation." OK, I'm looking for one that was a positive experience. Not one that finished and you're pissed off because you have no clue what just happened (I'm looking at you, "Lost Highway"). I've got a couple suggestions but please contribute your own. Donnie Darko The 6th Sense Hereditary Memento The Shining Fight Club The Dead Zone The Others Inception Source Code |

I might suggest the 1961 version of The Mask, but I had to shut it off after only about 45 seconds. |

I might suggest the 1961 version of The Mask, but I had to shut it off after only about 45 seconds. I suppose 45 seconds after the opening credits, although its score is already quite dramatic… The Mask (1961) – On Vimeo Now or never, the time has come…. |

Inception. The 6th Sense gives us a funny family story. We are flying to Europe and the in flight movie is just about over so Mrs Elmo goes to the bathroom and returns asking "Did I miss anything?" 🤦♂️ |

I didn't include it in my original list but at the time it came out I think "Clockwork Orange" might fit the bill. |

As I remember it, "A Clockwork Orange" was a very contentious film; it was highly praised & also seen as a symptom of the debasement of modern cinema; it definitely penetrated some folks' mind in a disturbing manner. It's one of my all-time favorites. |

Jacob's Ladder and The Sixth Sense turn out to be versions of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce (1890), and I figured that out way too early to be properly mind-effed, so I ended up kind of bored. Requiem for a Dream (2000), directed by Darron Aronofsky is one of the darkest movies ever. Watch it when you feel like you're too happy and need to be brought down. Brazil (1985), directed by Terry Gilliam, is almost equally dark, but it's kind of a fantasy story, which Requiem for a Dream is not. Pi (1998), is another Aronofsky masterpiece that will mess you up if you pay close attention, and especially if you have any knowledge of Judaism. The Omen (1976), directed by Richard Donner, is also disturbing. Don't watch it if you're really high and it's very late at night and you're alone. |
Uesugi Kenshin | 21 Nov 2022 9:09 p.m. PST |
Requiem for a Dream I found fantastic while Pi I struggled to make it through. Both valid candidates though. Jacob's Ladder I quite enjoyed and it sent me down the rabbit hole looking for real life occurrences that influenced the movie. |
