In Reply to: RE: Really. I'll bet over 50% of the people watching were confused by that scene's placement. Really. posted by Duilawyer on April 18, 2008 at 07:05:23
pretty darn simple to follow along with as it unfolded.
Since you're the first person I've heard mention confusion and since you miss so much about so many films it's really doubtful that the number of people who didn't follow along was anywhere near 50%."You can safely assume you have created God in your own image when he hates all the same people you do."

From the outset? No.
I'm not someone who needs to understand exactly what's happening (and where and when) from the instant a film starts. I'm actually able to put pieces together as the film progresses.It took all of ten minutes to realize one couldn't be locked into some idea of fixed time in that movie.
And it didn't take too too long to realize the opening scene was definitely before the robbery and no, it wasn't a flaw, it was an insight - for the bright people watching - into PSH's idealized goals/dreams/motivation for what follows (as in, "if only I could hold onto this, I'd be okay"... and that's what he was trying to get back to). It was also an insight into his ugliness.
Again, pretty simple stuff when all is said and done.

it proves you are smarter. When you don't you just write it off.
Fair test. :-)
Only took four days for you to cop.
and no I don't think I'm smarter... but I might be more patient... at least when it comes to watching movies.Also, the point is it wasn't a flaw. Not by a longshot.
Edit** P.S. 37 hours isn't 4 days.

to this bored saying it made sense. You see Seymour going into travel agencies implying he's buying the tickets for Rio. Be a big boy, admit the movie had a huge defect or flaw, or plothole, and that your attempt to exploit that to claim I have difficulty understanding movies, flopped. You got egg on your face, dude. You can have the last word. I always give that to people that are "treed".
when PSH has his climactic scene and you realized the first scene wasn't in the future. It was a flaw.
Sidney Lumet tried to slide it past us but luckily you were on the job and we're all richer for it.
