Guys I am really smart!

Primer (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The movie Primer is a movie I just watched. It was pretty good, I like the amazing plot and the very low budget. I got really high, but still managed to follow the movie, along with developing a very deep understanding of the directors true message. I recommend it to all the good folks here on GMPH!

[[MPGH]EndRiT]

The movie actually sucks. It tries too hard to be mind fucky.

[Obscene]

how does this make you smart?

[[MPGH]EndRiT]

It doesn't. It's not even that hard to follow.

[Thane.]

Explain what happened then.

Not OC but there you are nigga
ORIGINAL TIMELINE (never seen in the film)

1: Abe discovers what the box does.

2: Abe builds failsafe machine and turns it on.

3: Abe builds a "general usage" box and uses it.

4: Abe finds Aaron on the park bench and tells him about the box. Aaron has no earpiece. A second general usage box is made.

5: That night, Robert has a birthday party where Rachel's ex-boyfriend pulls out a shotgun. Abe and Aaron were not at the party.

6: Abe and Aaron likely do some stock market stuff, though you never know for sure.

7: At some point in the original timeline, Aaron discovers the failsafe hidden by Abe. He's angry that Abe could reset the timeline and, in essence, control Aaron's reality.

8: Aaron takes one of the general usage boxes and folds it up into the failsafe. Upon exiting the failsafe, he sets up his own presumably in a second locker. There are now two failsafes.

TIMELINE 2 (what we see in the film)

1: Aaron2, back via failsafe, goes to original Aaron's home and drugs him and stuffs him in the attic.

2: Abe meets Aaron2 at the park bench. Aaron2 has an earpiece and is recording all conversations. Not sure why an earpiece would be needed for recording but I believe he's just recording at this point.

3: That night, Aaron2 goes to Robert's birthday party. He knows what happens since he was told though he doesn't know exactly how it goes down. He "rushes" the ex-boyfriend. Persumably it wasn't perfectly executed.

4: At this point we see how things progress as this is the bulk of the film.

5: The night Abe wants to take Aaron2 to punch Platz, a Granger double appears. Abe panics as they have no idea how he learned about the boxes.

6: Abe decides to use the failsafe. Aaron2 uses his own failsafe.

TIMELINE 3

1: Aaron3, back via failsafe, goes to original Aaron's home. Aaron2 was already there to drug the original Aaron and stuffs him in the attic. Aaron3 encounters Aaron2 (from timeline1) and gets beat up by him. But Aaron3 explains to Aaron2 that he's already done the recordings and already done the party, so he's better equipped. Aaron2 leaves.

2: Abe2, back via failsafe, gases original Abe and stuffs him in a closet.

3: Abe2 meets Aaron3 at the park bench. Aaron3 has the earpiece and the recorded conversations. Abe2 faints from exhaustion as Aaron3 is responding improperly based on the recordings.

4: Aaron3 explains to Abe2 what's happened.

5: Aaron3 and Abe2 go to the party and Aaron3 does it "better".

6: Aaron3 leaves, Abe2 sticks around to try and prevent Abe and Aaron from finishing the general usage boxes.

7: Aaron2 calls Aaron to tell him everything that has happened so far, presumably so he can get one up on Abe and Abe2 and gain the power he desires.

8: Aaron2 or Aaron3 (never revealed) are shown perhaps constructing a bigger box to feed his power hunger.

The End.

Sounds like a gay movie.

[[MPGH]EndRiT]

It's really not that amazing as the concept sounds.

[Monterr]

Is it worth watching then?

[Sir Nathan]

So you watched a movie, understood it and bam suddenly you know you are very smart. Because that's what movies do. They boost your IQ and the conscience of it.

Right?

[Alen]

It doesn't. It's not even that hard to follow.

The movie actually sucks. It tries too hard to be mind fucky.

What you just gave was one general outline, and it's not even necessarily accurate. And couple that with several retarded subplots and unexplained occurrences and yes, you have quite the mindfuck movie. Generally speaking it's impossible to grasp the movie if you're watching only once or twice without prior warnings of what you have to be aware of or what is going on. Also given that it's a cheapass movie that one guy wrote, directed and even acted in, kudos to him, the cast and whoever else helped in creating it.

Isn't even a good movie





op is clearly not smart

So, dear Ed, tell me, which movie that you recently watched would you consider better or perhaps more demanding to understand? Imo, knowing that you love mainstream action movies, there are none.

I prefer comedy movies

I just said the movie isn't even good
imo primer was a waste of a terrible budget

[[MPGH]EndRiT]

The whole basis for it is overdone. That is all. The acting was fine.
