Planet of the Apes meets cycling?

That is creepy. I couldn't even watch all of it. "oh, dear, dear, another little expressionless ape-child is going to get run over"....ahhh!
I will say, it does sound and look like the films we watched in school in the 60s. That'll put a twist in your personality! :eek: :p L.
ps, beta, is this an educational film from your program??? (running and hiding now)

Sort of. We use it for behavior modification ala "A Clockwork Orange" :D
YIKES!
Save me from the psychologists! :eek: :rolleyes:
That is one strange flick! I actually watched the whole thing....:eek:

Then we heard her voice on the overhead during the flight, but it's easy to mix up who's the pilot, who's the flight attendant, etc. Getting off the plane though, as they all stand there to say good bye, it was clearly an older woman with white hair wearing the pilot's hat, in the pilot's space in the cockpit. COOL! I thought! I must tell mtkitchen! :D
The kids having ape faces makes a little more sense if you watch the whole thing. But maybe betagirl is trying to see if anyone here is wacky enough to watch it all. My excuse....I'm in a hotel in St. Louis with nothing else to do! Yeah, that's it!
And glad you got to fly with a woman, Lise! Probably a nice smooth flight unless the copilot (guy:D ) was flying. I love to walk through the terminal when all five of the crewmembers are women and hear people chatter about it (funny how people don't think you can hear what they're saying in an airport terminal).
Hooray for women!
I liked Brokebike Mountain a lot better...
That is one seriously demented movie. Those faces are way creepy. Mr. Fish sat here with me and watched it and just shook his head. I made it through the whole thing. Somehow. Wierd.
I liked Brokebike Mountain a whole lot. I've watched it at least 3 times.
That creepy ape-face demento movie...OK, I'll try again. But, I mean, the little "Tinkerbelle" one compulsively scratching her head and cruising through the stop sign...that's when I had to turn it off. We'd already lost the aggressive corporate type when he wouldn't signal a left turn (signal or no, he was a goner if he turned like that in front of a car), and all the other creepy demento-type expressionless ape children just keep blithely cycling on their merry way to the park that's only 9 blocks away, but as we all know...
...a lot can happen in nine blocks....
:rolleyes: L.
Totally creepy. I watched the whole thing. Why don't those kids care when their friends get into serious wrecks? There is so much pathology in that movie I don't know where to begin. Why doesn't the adult narrator have any emotion? Creepy.
Ok. I watched the whole thing. 9 children dead from bike accidents in one afternoon in a small town. Maybe only 8 dead, one appeared to land up in the hospital. This will be an interesting news week in ape-town, America!
The moral at the end rings true for the times. I'm guessing this was late '50s, I was born in 1960. A tone of "disobey the rules and you die. Accept it." And the adults will just say, "We told you so". It sure got me to brush my teeth! I never saw such a scary movie, though.
And the kid at the end, finally relieved of his monkey mask, stoically eating his sandwich. Not screaming, crying, or running for help. YIKES! (Perhaps this is an experiment of beta's to see how many people just can't resist watching the whole thing!) :eek: :p L.
Lise, shhhhhhhhhhhhh.....don't give away my secrets.
I haven't seen Brokebike Mountain??? I feel so out of the loop.
OK, cuz we're pals, here ya go:Quote:

Enjoy! L.
Bizarre, stupid and so many other things... Were there many movies like this during the 60s?
