People are voting emotionally.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
This is literally one of the best movies to watch while under effects of alcohol or other drugs.it simply doesn't make sense, but the movie itself is well shot, has a good cinematography and the actors are good (not perfect, but good on their respective roles).overall, watch with your friends and don't try to take this movie too seriously
Film within a film about a rubber tyre that somehow comes to life in the desert, gains the ability to make objects explode and goes on a killing rampage. Yeap, credit for originality. Just a shame that they made such a lousy job of it. Its meant to be an offbeat comedy but not once did I laugh at the sheer stupidity of it. Just wanted the end credits to roll (get it?). Several head explosions (Scanners) but that's it.
From the opening scene of the sheriff explaining to the audience that there are things in this world that happen for no reason (most of his explanation is either factually incorrect or highly idiotic), this movie however proves surprisingly that it does have reason to exist. As easily as this movie could have been written off as a movie about a tire on a killing spree. Rubber's underlying message about how independent filmmakers struggle with the big box office studios and audiences who are only fascinated with big explosions, provides a quirky and twisted movie about how a tire (indie filmmaker) would use their newly acquired psychokinetic powers.
A sheriff tells a group audience out in the desert that many big movies have important elements with no reason. The group is given binoculars. A rubber tire rolls by itself. It has the power to explode things. It explodes small animals and people as well. It is taken with a beautiful woman and follows her to an isolated motel.This is a quirky concept. Other than the concept, there isn't anything that compelling. Mr. Bean may not say much but the character is hilarious. This tire has no dialog. It tries to be funny but there are no actually laughs. This has the weird concept and breaking down the 4th wall. There isn't much else. Filmmaker Quentin Dupieux is probably better off making a short with this idea and move on with another idea for the full length feature.
