Sociotard Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 http://www.stringsthemovie.com/uk.html I rented it over the weekend. It was an . . . interesting film. The premise is that there's a world populated by marionettes who are aware that they are wooden creatures with string, and that without the string they are dead. However, they have no puppeteers. Their strings just go up to heaven and nobody can see where they end (which is why nobody has a roof). As such, their strings change the way they live. In combat they slash at each others strings, especially the vital headstring. if and armstring or legstring gets cut off the limb is useless, but don't worry, if you have the money you can buy a slave, remove his limb and attach it to yourself (you can't just mend existing strings for some reason). Oh, and the city gate is just a bar that hangs over the entrance. After all, nobody can walk under anything. Kind of gimmicky (the soundtrack is mostly strings), but worth the dollar to rent. The writing is cheesy, but the cinimatography is beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
