And now we have a Guest Review by fan and critic Oscar Ebert of the Oscar Fassbinder movie Word on a Wire, currently streaming on Hulu.com, Netflix.com, torrent search...etc.).
Oscar KNOWS HIS STUFF and his review contains THOUGHTS AND ALLUSIONS to the so-called "academic" side of film crit and movie fandom but STILL KEEPING IT INTERESTING for everyday film bloggers and film fans.
Most importantly, this Guest Review definitely makes me want to check the movie out! I keep hoping SOMETHING good is happening on streaming vids, online content, and VOD subscription... We'll see!
According to Oscar Ebert, Now Streaming World on a Wire:
This is a long movie by a German director who is dead, gay and an alcoholic. It’s really trippy and paranoid…or the people in it are paranoid. Wait, one person is, but he’s the main guy, which makes it seem like you may (or may not!) be paranoid. Movies are weird like that. (Christian Mets). The main guy is all like “We think therefore, we are; RIGHT?!” Because he’s not really sure and then you’re not really sure. And then he’s like, to some guy, “What color is your coffee.” And the guy goes “Brown.” But then the main guy is like “Maybe its purple.” (Purple in German is Lila). And then he casts doubt on the existence of the chair. The film is sci-fi, but made in the 1970s so that’s pretty weird.
Anyway, speaking of chairs the furniture in the film is really rad and I’d like a few of the pieces, but that won’t happen because of its likely unavailability and also I’m poor.
I watched the movie streaming on Hulu and that was really a meta experience, because as the main guy was like “Is the world real?” I was like, is this really a film? And then I was able to stop the film at will (as I got distracted and as I did another things) and felt like like God and had a sort of crisis, but not really.
Still and all, streaming is cool and makes things easier for buff film buffs like myself. Also, I like water.
