Funny Games

this movie makes you complicit, youre watching this for entertainment just as much as theyre doing it for entertainment. every long uncut scene forces you to sit through their suffering without even a camera change to add a layer of distance. it becomes like youre there, be it on the family's side or the boys. and you play along, you cant not consider who will win the bet, even if either way the family loses, and you cant not know exactly whats happening right at the end as the cycle begins anew. and when they talk at the end abt fiction and reality, it made the whole movie feel super,,, idk! i felt guilty for watching it, it was interesting felt like an cool commentary on horror framed really well and the fourth wall breaks were great for that reason especially, they were super unnerving at times. But. i really disliked that rewind, idk it was just a step too far for me. i get its like,,, the thing about what ending you want to see but if theyd done it more or referred back to it more, then maybe it wouldnt feel like such a jarring part of the movie, idk i dont care for whatever that was, but otherwise prettyyy goodd!!! great concept
