Name that Film!

Well, haku is a river spirit dragon thing, and he saved her from drowning when she was little. It's not entirely clear, but I think he is, in a sense, the river itself. Or the spirit of it. or whatever.

Clue is in the name

Clue is in the name

Hm I suppose, but "of her childhood"?

 

[Panda with issues...]

That said, I don't understrand the reference to river of her childhood days.

Have you SEEN THE FILM?

 

[Silk]

Have you SEEN THE FILM?

Yes I know the dragon is a water dragon, but that has nothing to do with her childhood days now does it.

 

[Panda with issues...]

It even literally says in the film she remembers him from her childhood days.

[mod]Anyway... back to the game, hmm?[/mod]

Panda, your turn mate.

 

[Silk]

It even literally says in the film she remembers him from her childhood days.

No, she is already a child, so "childhood days" is nonsensical!

 

[Panda with issues...]

No, she is already a child, so "childhood days" is nonsensical!

She SAYS SHE REMEMBERS HIM FROM HER CHILDHOOD DAYS IN THE FILM- Thus Dragon's description was COMPLETELY CORRECT.

Anyway...

A group of men are searching for something of which there are many, but are not easy to find. A number of them do not speak english. They become trapped in a steel container which occasionally makes noises which worry them, and become very tense, as well as diseased. At times they are frightened and one of them is almost driven mad, almost needing to be shot by another man. They occasionally receive messages from the outside. After running out of food and water, they manage to leave the container, but must return to continue their search after gathering more provisions. The pressure begins to get to them, and they resign themselves to death. Miraculously, they escape the box a second time, but many of them are killed before the end of the film.

Cube?

 

[Ronin Storm]

I don't remember there being any disease in Cube. And after they escaped, they didn't return. (This was a film I should not have seen. Foolish foolish me.)

 

[Silk]

OMG CAPS LOL.. sigh.. some of us dont' remember every fucking detail from every film.

Anyway.. my guess is:

BIG BROTHER!

 

[Ki!ler-Mk1]

Steel container is a bit vague

 

[Panda with issues...]

Cube?

No

Anyway.. my guess is:

BIG BROTHER!

No

Steel container is a bit vague

Really.

 

[Peepee]

PAdnorium

 

[thatbloke]

Dog Soldiers?

 

[Panda with issues...]

PAdnorium

No

Dog Soldiers?

No

 

[Silk]

Clue please!

 

[Panda with issues...]

The film is punctuated with long stretches of tedium, where the men become disillusioned with their search.

Some of the noises that they are terrified of are caused by the container, and some come from outside the container. One of the most terrifying is a repetitive noise from OUTSIDE the container. They can rarely see anything outside the box, and for much of the film, sound is their only contact with the outside world.

Hoy,

This is vaguely evocative of 2010: Second Odissey, but I hardly believe that's right...

Cheers,
