I can’t wait for this to come out on DVD; hoping they include a Q & A with the director. It looks like Sam Rockwell does an outstanding performance in the simple yet poignant film.

It’s a commentary on so many things. Big corporations using employees. Raping the moon for more resources to fuel earth. cloning and the ramifications of producing something over and over. He was losing his teeth, spitting up blood, going crazy etc. He even saw his daughter before he even knew she was 15. Remember in the chair and then he burned his hand.
i just wonder how many clones figured it out and then they sent up a rescue mission, killed the clone and rebooted both Gerty and the new Sam clone.
Excellent movie on so many levels. I hate to say this but the whole problem with our society is that we don’t critically reflect on how much sci-fi is so closely aligned to religion but from very different existentialist theories. people really need to read more books, pick up the newspaper and critically examine the state of the world rather than just walking out of a movie. It’s like idiotocracy is really happening and it’s real scary.

I just watche “Moon” with my husband–It came off as “real” science fiction instead of a soap opera/swasbuckler with rocket ships.

Sure, it’s about a man responding what is happening to him but it is also a comment on the ultimate employee. Not only do you use the employee, you literally use the employee up and then throw him out and THEN just warm up a replacement and plug him in. Totally replaceable, mistakes are self correcting (in three years) and you NEVER have to worry about the guy going home and sueing the company due to all that radiation to which he was exposed. A total company man, owned, operated and replaceable.

My husband said this is how it is now, but I responded that he gets to live longer. . .

This movie was so much better than I expected.

I read every plot spoiler to see if wanted to see the film – the only it may have been better was if I was told how good it was and not peeked at the storline so it could all have been a surprise.

The self-sacrifice displayed each of the main characters before the end left me inspired.

What a great piece. Wish more movies were of this quality. It desrves all the awards it gets.

Enjoy.

I saw Moon last night. I liked it, but found myself leaving the theatre wondering, “Did it have a point to make?” Then it occurred to me that the movie wasn’t intended to have a monolithic, overarching ‘point’ – it was intended mostly to examine how one man responds to and overcomes some very trying conditions.

The movie struck me as a bit old-fashioned, but not in a bad way. If anything, the producers of Moon relied upon tried and true methods of filmmaking instead of using flashy CGI effects to stand in for those three elements.

It does have a bit of a Kubrickian feel to it, like 2001: A Space Odyssey, but it’s not in your face, and GERTY, the robot/computer isn’t half as malevolent as HAL was.

Moon was so well produced on its $5 million budget that it could start a trend in movie-making. Who’d a thunk it? A return to solid cinematography, a solid script and solid acting?
