OOTP movie (maybe spoilers)

that was aimed at alia, as you can see she completely baulked the fact that sirius' death did last longer on harry's mind then was actually shown on screen..but hows u anyway?

yes i must have missed that part as sirius died and BAM!! within seconds he chases bella for revenge...the question is...DID YOU MISS THE CRUCIO?

Nope I didn't miss it at all...

If you didn't miss the inner struggle, then what was the issue? The scene wasn't just designed to revolve around Sirius. He's dead and that ended that. Harry was left and it was about what he intended on doing about Sirius's death that the main point was about, not the actual death. Or did you want to see more of Sirius death? More agony or pain?

And please... no YELLING. It hurts my ears! :cool:
 
I thought Sirius died very slowly. Avada Kedava (sp?) is meant to be instantaneous.
 
i wanted more of a point to his death and not harry's seeking out for revenge crap..cmon he was zapped then harry fcuked off sumwher to fail a spell...after that chapter in the book i was dumbfounded for upto an hour afterwards, it made me stop reading for that long ino...sum powerful shaite...in the film it was like this

bella:avarda kedavra (she used expeliamous [??] in the book)
[flash of green light..siruis looks at harry even though death was meant to be instantaneous and whoosh he was gone]
a SINGULAR second passes and wham harry has tried to punish bella

all of that took about 15 seconds
 
An enjoyable movie, but didn't think it great. (I'm still bitching to myself about no Peeves.)

Wish the Tooks character and the other members of the Order were developed in more depth ... as well as the villainous potential of Malfoy and Kreatcher. I would have liked maybe 10-15 minutes more in the movie.

One more thing. I agree that you have to have read the books to understand the movie. My old man, who does not read fantasy unless its scholarly, got lost this time around while he understood and enjoyed the previous movies.
 
Yeah I know I really didn't like that part and then my oldest sister loved it.

You wanted more of a point to his death? Again, did you miss the inner struggle Harry had? This story isn't about Sirius, it's about Harry!

BTW, Moderators here on this forum might not take kindly to your spelling of curse words you may want to use * instead of the actual letters.
 
all i see is fcuked and shaite and that aint swearing its using softer words for the same meeaning

same and gosh and egards

and i no its about harry but still his inner struggle wasnt shown well on film as the scene was over in seconds
 
Oh whats the problem? What inner struggle. You can't hear any of his thoughts in a movie. If you hadn't read the book I doubt you would have got much of the movie.

*shakes head* And how old are you? 13? Upright you have been warned. This is a family site and words that 'resimlbe' other words with the same meaning aren't favored here! Those words are NOT the same as gosh and egards.
 
I see Alia's point, but that does not mean I disagree with you Upright. The way we perceive something is subjective, and obviously you thought differently of the scene in question. I think they did a beautiful job translating the emotion on-screen through Harry's actions, and I felt their change in the details of events also suited the film. It would have been campy and superfluous to carry on the scene any longer than it had already been, simply to appease the audience of readers, when we, of all people, understand exactly how Sirius's death made us (and Harry) feel. The part of the audience that did not experience Harry's turmoil through the literature likely felt their own twinges of pain; quite a few of them were attached to Sirius as well, just by his presence and relationship to Harry from the preceding films. Three of my close, personal friends are fans of the movies, and have yet to pick up any of the H.P. books. All of them were deeply saddened by Sirius's demise -- one even cried (quite obnoxiously) and ranted about how very unfair it was.

Critiques of the film are definitely welcome in the thread, but if you feel very strongly that the filmmakers made a drastic oversight, at least try to be a bit objective about it, and think for a moment of how difficult a task it was to do what it was they were doing. Even then, if you still feel as if they didn't pay justice to the books, then call it a bad show and move on, rather than make an argument of opinions. Apples and Oranges, as the adage goes.

Something we tend to forget is, a movie is just another way of telling a story. This was the director's point of view of the same story. Of course it's going to be different in some ways. It doesn't make it wrong, just different.

Commonmind, your words are perfect! Thank you!:)
 
I didn't like most of the stuff in the room of requirement that much. I thought that was a bit poorly done.
 
yes it was...it was meant to be full with books on spells and fluffy cushions and the whistle
