Take Shelter

Anyone here has watched this movie?
I would love to hear your perspective on it.

I being non schizo....cried all the way thru...just felt for the guy.

Can't say too much more cos of spoilers...anyone seen it?

What did you think?

been trying to see it
but i dont know where its playing
very hard to find

I saw it. First of all, I thought it was an excellant movie all on its own.

Personally though It was pretty much what I have gone through ALOT in the past, especially this last summer. The one scene where the guy is standing outside his car, looking at the storm, then looking back at his sleeping family in the car and says "...is anybody seeing this but me?" sums up my ENTIRE SUMMER. Not that its the only time that has happened but it was the most intense then.

AnxietyAttacks...I don't know where it has been released at this stage. I watched it online.

Aj...Yeah I was kind of wondering if the depiction was accurate and how it might stir up emotion for someone who has experienced similar. I have not experienced it, but felt so much for him and his family. How horrible it must be to not know if something is real or not. How scary.

Really such a great movie.

where?????

I think I watched it on Digg.com. But be careful...some of those "watch online" sites are a bit dodgy.

I saw it in the theaters but I think you can rent it online at amazon.com in thier movie section.

For me the movie was very similar to my own experience. Except I didn't have nightmares like that. Only one or two.

I am still trying to sort out whats real from unreal though. Although right now I am feeling like the end of the world, or at least the end of mine, won't happen for another year or so.

Aj..what helps you to know what is real or not? Is it other people that you trust telling you (like in the movie)? Or do you work it out in your head?

Hope these questions are ok.

I haven't figured it out yet to be honest. I think I am going to just have to choose one or the other reality. Its upsetting to me. I am hoping to find a synthesis.

I am not terribly fond of the "regular, everyday reality". Doesn't seem worth living for, to me.
