Oke so I just watched 11.14, for those which are unknown with this film here's the plot: 'The events leading up to an 11:14 PM car crash, from five very different perspectives.'

It was fairly entertaining and was put together solid leaving enough to explain in the last segment... however it did not offer anything else besides a well constructed timeline. last week I watched Magnolia as well... and even though the characters could intersect more and the topic of 'Fate' / 'A matter of chance ( as the movie puts it)' fell into the background to much. On the other side Magnolia did add more drama and did beef up the characters more.


So anyways what others movies are out there similar to these two, and lets discuss them




PS: don't mention Crash.. or you'll wake Roman

21 grams is one of my absolute favorites, Babel I watched not to long ago and it was great. And I was able to link both films very quickly, but I never knew he had a thrilogy going.


Looking for Amores Perros on bol.com right away... it sound like my kind of movie...


On a side note: Just watched La Haine, cant say it has anything to do with this topic but I strongly recommend that film...

Pulp Fiction was oke... It was based more on a anthology structure than Hyperlink ( thx for the term Strangeluv )

Viewpoint.. is it from 2004? because IMDB doesnt even have a synopsis, could you give a short one Bravo?


As for momento: Loved the style, worked great with the climax, however Irreversible used the element alot better; did anyone see this one?

did somebody say......................crash???

i think you mean fate, not faith.

ugh... my bad.

Anyways, Run Lola run seems interresting. I like the synopsis for Sliding doors but I keep getting the feeling that its some chick-flick, is it?
Also anyone else know anything about 'viewpoint'

whoa 21 grams and babel are by the same guy? and there's another one??? man ive missed out

anyway yeah Lola Rennt is great grab it while it's hot.

unless you're a dirty englishspeaker that can't read subtitles......!!

also the twist in crash was pretty cool but holy shit it was predictable

DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF BULLETS THESE ARE!?

aso whats up with mentioning la haine it is good yeah but it is not really related at all in any way to this topic. HEY HOW 'BOUT THAT CITIZEN KANE??

Ahh so he meant Vantage point, the setup of vantage point was interresting, though They could have done allot more with it.
And I guess your right Xanqui, 11.14 wasn't really a mindfuck. But both genres do go hand in hand, so any movies out there who apply both structures are welcome in my book.

Anyways I just watched Intacto (Spanish), and it was quite nice actually. the synopsis made it seem like a super trippy hyperlink. It still had the right setup but lacked the right structure and thus didn't feel like a hyperlink. In general: Intacto was really well done, had a nice theme, setting and apparently works great for a second, third or even fourth viewing to get all the little details.

Still haven't watched 'Amores Perros', its next on my list tho. As for La Haine; I just mentioned it for the hell of it, since I had just seen it and its scenes were still floating around in my mind
