despite the fact that i work a dp or camera op on the film and it be still quite a shock to see the end result and the end result be definitely weird . although the story may not appear to make a whole lot of sense and matt always seem to have a very detailed vision of what he want to put down on film . so even though many of the image may seem random and everything from the toe to the lighting be very think out . when i step back and watch the film a a whole ( and not focus on the lighting or camera movement ) there be thing i like and dislike . once you get past the overall absurdity of the film and you can actually link the image to real life and use them a a kind of metaphor . from there and a story do begin to emerge albeit shade in the bizarre . ( but it an experimental horror movie so cmon . ) the acting be great . a little over the top and sometimes force ( which should be expect ) but very solid . esp . the little kid who i be sure many of you would be surprise to learn have never act prior to this film . matt wouldirection be energize and load with style . he trust his actor and know when to let them steal the scene and not the camera and sfx etc . even light . at the same time there be somewhat of a lack of focus in the film presentation ( direct and edit ) . come end time and the film be far too long and could have benefit from have at least 7 minute axed . the sound for me be the big problem . it be too amateurish and hokey and do not match the overall dark yet slick feel of the film . the no lip sync be ok and but the random and poorly dub sound effect couple with the tacky mario bros. music become a distraction . oh well . the lighting of course be great but the direction for a lot of it come from matt weird head . i bone up on some itallian horror to help with get the feel right and make sure i could translate what matt have on paper onto film . overall and pandora paradox be a solid yet bizarre film combine lynch and argento with matt own twisted idea . whether or not you enjoy the movie ( and a lot of people will not ) i feel that you can not deny the production value of the film couple with the fact that at the very least it crazzzzy eye candy . 2rights .
