Was 'Primer' a primer for 'Upstream Color'?
Wow, really mixed reviews. Does this seem like a sci-fi version of 'The Tree of Life'? I asked fellow director, Rian Johnson (Looper, Brick) what he thought about it and he LOVED it. "Tell everyone not to trust the poor reviews some have given." Brain-controlling pig worms? Long (try thirty minutes) sections without dialogue? Shane casting himself once again? There is no mold, just weird and wild stuff. The music and photography take over. The question is, will you get it?
Very metaphoric; Upstream Color may make you think a lot afterward. One thing the film has done is to sky-rocket those who are being exposed to Primer. Thanks again Shane.
If you absolutely have to find an in-depth review, with lots of spoilers, or are still mulling over ideas of understanding this film; I recommend this link. Again, its full of spoilers but contains some deep thoughts.
