David Slade's Hard Candy
-
I Netflixed this movie because David Slade is the director of Eclipse (the next installment in the Twilight movie). It was an incredible movie, one of the most memorable, haunting movies I've seen in a while. I also got a new camera, and so was snapping a lot of stuff yesterday, including these screen captures of the movie.

i *just* saw this on On Demand. last weekend, i think. i thought it was some other Clueless type movie about high school cliques. i was very, very wrong. even though it was so disturbing, i thought it was amazingly done. and now i can see exactly why ellen page was picked as the wry, not-as-worldly-wise-as-she-thinks-she-is, indie sweetheart for Juno. and this is the first thing i've seen patrick wilson in, and completely by chance i saw two other movies he starred in that same weekend (it was a lazy weekend)---Little Children and Watchmen. he's my new boyfriend. even though he's super, super creepy in Hard Candy. anhoo. long commentary. all to say i adored the movie, too, and i'm tickled we saw it within the same one-week period.
That's so amazing!! I can't believe you just watched this too. And I love that you loved it. Creepy, haunting, disturbing movie for sure, but brilliant. Yeah, Patrick Wilson is an acting god.
i read somewhere that he passed out from fatigue during the surgery scene. <-- What I Do for My Art
I listened to the director/writer's commentary right after watching the movie (that's right . . . 4 hours of Hard Candy in a row). Slade said that Patrick Wilson insisted on everything being as real as possible: he was really tied up in the chair, on the table, etc. In one scene, his hands are purple, and Slade said that wasn't makeup . . . they were really purple. That's amazing. It helped that it was an indie movie with an 18-day shooting schedule. They moved quick, so he didn't have to be tied up for, you know, three months straight.
