"What made me start, the beauty of the act." - Mr. Oscaran old man just woke up from his sleep inside a windowless room, he take his cigarette, light it on and start to walking around the room. not long, he aware there's some strange sounds outside his room and start to looking for a door for wich he meant to find out where is the strange sounds came from. he finally found one wall that have a key hole in it, hidden by a wallpaper. he open the door with a key that attached on his finger -it's not only attached, it has been part of his fingers, actually-, take his suitcase and walk outside the room where he step on stairs just to find a teather room full of audience watching an old silent movie wich all the people inside that theater is so quiet and without making any movement whatsoever.now.. that was only the opening scene of this movie. it was very surreal, that everyone who watched this movie is free to interpret what's the meaning of holy motors is. some might say it's a story about a man who makes a living by becoming someone else, acting. others said that it's a story about a transformation that an actor must do on the movie.. and other people might tell you, that this movie was all about how a director shows you the life of film stars and the role they played.there's a bit David Lynch taste in it but not as complicated and as dark as Lynch's works i think. and that makes this movie can be so boring af for some people, or you can be so much in love with this masterpiece right from the start.holly momma.. what did i just watch?!!!

I always had this goofy thought while walking outside and observing various people - all those weird homeless guys talking to themselves, people interacting with each other, fights, road rages, intense argues, random conversations etc are enjoyable for me; those guys are doing some solid acting! I like to think that everyone is actually acting, and it's not real. Then, this movie appeared to confirm my theory. What a pleasant surprise this movie was! An alternate reality where actors are using a whole city as a stage (and maybe the whole world?) and where reality mixes with fiction? Yes please! Of course, it's a 100% interpretable movie, so there can be many debates. I have to admit it though; this movie is screaming "let's win the Cannes Film Festival!" I don't like to use the word "pretentious", but this can enter that category; sometimes things get a little forced, but not without a purpose; so this is a good pretentious movie. Also, Denis Lavant was awesome here. If Lynch was a Frenchmen, he would probably release this movie.

Other than the great acting and possibly exposure of a method actor's day, Holy Motors explains nothing of it's plot and actions of the characters. You have to be so pretentious to say this is a good movie and it is so abstract that it is art. Artists and entertainers produce arts and somehow expects people watch or see them without understanding it. The best part is we have pretentious critiques and audiences who feed this potential Schizophrenic community. They are pretty much the same as a religious community.

I remember going to see this movie, just because of Kylie. I also remember myself going to get a pizza like 10 to 15 minutes after the movie began... because I left.the director last me when the motion capture suit guy was there doing some kind of practice. (I do not think that this should be considered a spoiler.. is part of the backstage I think)anyway... one of the light on the floor of the theater hallway was blinking... and that capture my attention more that what was happening on the screen... so that it... i don't even wait for my favorite celebrity appeared. I knew I was wasting my time there...
