Certain movies are confusing & complex and raise a lot of questions, then there are movies that not everyone can understand. Just like art deserves a creative eye to see the depth of its meaning, these Hollywood movies need an intelligent audience to understand the masterpieces they are.
Schizopolis (1996)
IMDb Rating: 6.7/10
Schizopolis, directed by Steven Soderbergh in 1996, explores the theme of duality in the home and workplace through doppelgangers and a variety of intriguing concepts, including cue cards with ‘Idea Missing’ written on them. The film continuously reinvents itself, keeping the audience engaged with its ever-evolving nature. To fully grasp the depth of this film, one might need to explore works by Dostoevsky or Stephen King to understand the symbolism of doppelgangers and what they signify to us.
Do these doppelgangers mirror our existence, or is this world merely a dream we inhabit? Are we so insignificant that we struggle to communicate? Perhaps Soderbergh aimed to explore these questions on a modest cinematic scale, and it seems like he successfully achieved that, leaving us pondering his work for years to come. Watch this movie on Amazon Prime Video.

Inception (2010)
IMDb Rating: 8.8/10
Inception, directed by Christopher Nolan in 2010, delves into the intricate world of dreams within dreams, both verbally and visually. Nolan’s characters navigate through layers of their subconscious, crafting new realities and seeking fulfillment. It’s not until the culmination of the action-thriller-mystery that we are prompted to question our intellect. The film is rich with references like the Penrose stairs. Pay attention to how the characters interpret the dream’s reality based on illusions, perceptions, and self-deception. Nolan’s unique style involves stating concepts and then elaborating on them, inviting us to ponder the deeper meaning, much like the illusion of creating a film itself. This movie is on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and JioCinema.

The Milky Way (1969)
IMDb Rating: 7.4/10
In “The Milky Way” (1969) by Luis Bunuel, the director fearlessly explores religion, as he often does, but this time he presents a balanced argument where all perspectives are given a voice. Unlike his previous works like “Viridiana” or “Simon of the Desert,” where he heavily criticized religion, here Bunuel showcases both sides of the debate. Throughout the film, as the pilgrims journey to Santiago de Compostela, every mention of Jesus, Catholicism, or Christian practices is met with opposing viewpoints, both verbally and visually by Bunuel. This approach challenges the audience to ponder the validity of each perspective and encourages them to form their own conclusions. You can watch this movie on Amazon Prime Video.
