Jacob’s Ladder with Tim Robbins is beyond surreal A huge unsuspecting plot twist that you can't see coming which you learn at the very end of the film (no spoilers) but this film is very dark and twisted at throughout it’s one that haunts your mind for years later...

Alright tell me a movie that made you stare blankly at a wall for 20 minutes after it finished. One that you couldn’t stop thinking about and made you question everything.

@flynnslick Thought I was the only person alive who loved it. Yes - full of disturbing imagery and still haunts me today.

@flynnslick I was way too young when I saw this and it still haunts my mind. I need to rewatch it to make-sense of the images in my head.

Preble Jefferson can see 5 seconds into the future. When government agencies become aware of his skill, he'll do whatever it takes to protect his family. “Calling this a thriller is a bit reductive...The most interesting novel I’ve read in a long time.” --JDC

@flynnslick Agreed. I saw this movie in the theatre when it was released and it still haunts me from time to time. Such a great flick.

"'Jacob’s Ladder' (1990) came out at a time when it was just not right for that movie to be seen. We were about to go into the Gulf War, and the country did not want to see a movie about a Vietnam veteran involved in drug experiments" --- Tim Robbins Full Excerpt: "There are many different factors determining whether or not a film reaches a mass audience. How much the studio’s behind it, which other movies the studio’s releasing at the same time—I think Disney had nine or ten in release at the same time—how much energy is put into it. Who knows. It’s always been a mystery to me. 'Jacob’s Ladder' (1990) came out at a time when it was just not right for that movie to be seen. We were about to go into the Gulf War, and the country did not want to see a movie about a Vietnam veteran involved in drug experiments when, as the movie’s playing in theaters, we are inoculating Gulf War soldiers with anthrax. I got a letter from one guy that resisted—he got put in a brig because he would not take the drugs. He said, “Thank you, because I saw Jacob’s Ladder before I left, and it gave me the strength to resist.” And now they’ve found out that a lot of these soldiers got sick from these vaccines, with this Gulf War Syndrome. That movie found its audience in video and cable, and it was huge. And then you see movies that somehow hit the zeitgeist, make tons of money, are huge hits, and then you see them a few years later and you go, “What? What did I see in this? Why is this not working?” Certainly you can’t judge the success of a film based on its initial box office. You have to wait ten years, see it again. If it still works, it’s a great film. There’s a lot of great films that didn’t do well in their initial release. 'It’s a Wonderful Life' (1946) was a bomb. 'Citizen Kane' (1941) didn’t do well. 'Shawshank Redemption' (1994)."

"With each new film, I try to do something totally different. But when I look at the end result, I realize that I have made exactly the same film all over again." --- Takeshi Kitano Full Excerpt: "Cinema is something very personal. When I make a film, I make it first and foremost for myself. It’s like a wonderful toy box that I play with. A very expensive toy box, of course, and I’m ashamed at times of having such fun with it. There comes a time, however, once the film is in the can, when it no longer belongs to you. It then becomes the toy of the audience—and the critics. But it would be dishonest to deny that I make a film for myself before anyone else. Actually, that’s why I can’t understand how a director can shoot a film from someone else’s screenplay, since the cinema is something much too personal for that, unless you have a great deal of freedom to adapt the screenplay—in which case I truly think that the director must take it over completely and make it virtually his own screenplay. This intimately personal side to the cinematic vision constitutes both the strength and the weakness of a director. I have already heard many directors say this, and the same holds true for me: with each new film, I try to do something totally different. But when I look at the end result, I realize that I have made exactly the same film all over again. Perhaps not exactly the same one, but I think that if a police inspector were to see it, he would say, “No doubt about it, Kitano, you’re behind this; your prints are all over it!”" ('Moviemakers' Masterclass', Laurent Tirard, 2002) Clip from: Fireworks (1997) Director: Takeshi Kitano
