Rubber doesn't take itself seriously

AshkelontheDog

Rubber doesn't take itself seriously ! That is a good thing! I think that other viewers misunderstand the mocking of the "high art" sentimentality displayed. Moreover, Rubber has a seemly accusatory tone that thumbs it's nose at the live action spectators. Anyone who didn't have their "I'm pretentious hat" on should be able to recognize. The death of the spectators should give away that the movie isn't pandering to the intelligentsia.

I enjoyed watching Rubber, but I personally found Rubber slightly uncomfortable. The story line made me question how far I would be willing to go in pursuit of artistic observation. So if your looking for a movie that will solely entertain you...Watch Fast and Furious volume 9 million. If your looking for something that offers less escapism watch Rubber.

I will tell you that I would be far more willing to give my hard earned dollars to director Quentin Dupieux to make something interesting than to supply the Hollywood remake factory with one thin dime to destroy old movies with a plot.

Take a chance on Rubber!

score 9/10
