skinsfanforlife Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Im sick of all these same old comedy, action/drama.... that has the same plot. I enjoy, admire and give full credit to these innovative movies/director/writers. Im looking forward to some of these innovative movies this summer, if there are any. My pick Matrix. i thought it was original and awsome. Never seen anything like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMac Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 "The Game" with Michael Douglas and Sean Penn. It was very original and suspensful to the end to say the least. great movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Tater Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 As far as original plots? There are only about 40 or so different plots that have ever been used in history and man's been telling stories for at least 8000 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeSkin Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Yeah, probably Birth of a Nation, even though it almost singlehandedly resurrected the Klan. Wizard of Oz was also unique for its time. Probably the most original movies, speaking in modern terms, are the artsy-fartsy pretentious flicks that nobody likes. Mulholland Drive is the first one that comes to mind for me, or most David Lynch flicks for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Nostril Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Birth of a nation was hardly the first movie. To decide what the first movie is it depends what you count a s a movie. The Lumiere Bros made some films that were really nothing more than moving pictures. I believe the first one was of a train coming into a train station, and it was titled something like "A train enters a terminal", but the title was in french. This was made in 1897 "A voyage to the moon" was the first film to tell a story, it was filmed by getting the scene then turning the camera off, and getting the next scene, they had the entire thing set up so they filmed in order. "The Great Train Robbery" was mad in 1903 and it was the first one to edit the film together and use multiple takes and stuff like that. It wasn't for another 13 years in 1916 that birth of a nation came out. Oh, and if anyone thinks that the Matrix is the most original film they should read the weirder parts of Decartes, and then just mix that with typical action fare and the tone of Ghost in the shell. Really it's more a sloppy of amalgam of influences that something original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Birth of a Nation was the first film to invoke what today is considered a real "movie." It is the first real film in every sense of the word, and probably the most influential as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
