Best movie of this year hands down!
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
How any British clubber can give this film 0/10 is beyond me. Any clubber in the UK can quote a myriad of the memorable, hilarious and representative scenes that fill the film.If you like to rave and you were born in the early eighties you have probably seen this movie already and know it well, for new comers to clubbing, this is a history lesson, this is how it used to be, and still can be on occasion.There is little plot other than heading out for the weekend, but that is why this film thrives, with deep archetypal characters that we can recognise and empathise with, who love to get mashed up and on occasion pay for it with a steadily loosened grip on reality.Pretty much everyone I know who was raving in the late 90's and early 2000's knows this film inside out and loves it. But hey, if it's not for you then it's not for you.
Imagine a high-school film project where someone films a bunch of friends going about their lives: clubbin', dating, working at their part-time jobs, clubbin', hanging out, doing drugs, talking about going clubbin', talking about feelings and shi', clubbin ...No need for a script/ plot/ story because your friends are so interesting that everything they do and say is just, uh, interesting; nobody will get lost because the characters talk to the camera - and think out loud for the camera; you know what's happening because everyone yells and jumps around.Boring, below amateurish. A complete waste of time.
Well, since I'm a beginner raver and read some good commentaries about this film, I decided to give it a try. "Human Traffic" is a movie with a simple story: friends who like to party, have sex and use drugs. Some people told me it's movie is focused on drug using, but actually there are only a few scenes involving this. Filmmakers try to show what it's like to do what these five friends do, which delivers some funny moments that sometimes the spectator can relate. Other fun situation is the guy who is afraid to have to whitewash the reason he can't get an erection-- which is one of the most uncomfortably moments in a man's life. It is comforting to see in the end he has one of the best sex in his life, because only we men can understand the big problem he was dealing with hahaha. In the end, this isn't a refreshing movie with strong subject or anything, but maybe a n entertaining teen movie.
You wouldn't expect a film about a night in the life of a group of druggie 20 year olds to be so simply amazing. 'Human Traffic' is one of those rare films that manages to create the perfect balance of humour, sensitivity and entertainment. At not one point did I find myself not enjoying this movie and its contrast of realism and random moments such as Moff's conversation with reality which still managed to maintain a certain relatability despite its absurdity. 'Human Traffic' is undeniably a film that most would enjoy, touching, humorous and an instant classic that I would very much recommend for most generations, especially those who can relate to the situations presented.
