Cloverfield (spoilers)

I followed the whole marketing of this movie pretty closely... Cause I was stoked for it....


I found this online, and it really is the best explanation I\'ve read about anything.


Again, take it or leave it cause its just someone trying to throw all the youtube and myspace marketing they did for the movie together.


At the credits ending of Cloverfield, *spoilers* the audio from the video cam says, "Help us!".
But when played backwards, it says, "It\'s still alive!" This happens after the end credits
of Cloverfield. Assuming the speaker was Rob, he suggests Cloverfield (the monster)
is still alive. This also suggests a sequel for Cloverfield 2! *Spoilers*

The Japanese oil company TAGRUATO drops a satellite (Chimpanz III) into the ocean as part
of viral marketing (shown at the end of the movie when Rob and Beth were on the ferris wheel).
TAGRUATO works with SLUSHO (a slush company), as the main ingredient for SLUSHO is found
at the satellite dropzone (deep ocean). While searching for satellite and ingredients, they
woke Cloverfield (the monster).

People who were at the party in the beginning of the movie, were seen wearing SLUSHO shirts.
Rob apparently was going to be the Vice President of TAGRUATO in Japan.

The main ingredient of Slusho apparently turns a tiny fish into a HUGE whale, which explains
the size of Cloverfield. *Update* The main ingredient is a deep sea nectar.

For animals/fishes/insects to survive in the deepest ocean (very high boiling temperature),
they naturally have very high heat resistance. This explains how Cloverfield is able to
withstand numerous bombs and attacks from the army.

Cloverfield refers to the field formerly known as Central Park. Clovers are
usually prone to grow at places after bombing. Thus the term "Clover" and "field" referring to park.

I haven\'t seen it, but I for one apperciate the fact they don\'t answer everything out right and small stuff, like the name of the film are hints to a bigger picture.

So a magical ingredient can turn a deep sea fishy into a land walking, roaring mammal that sprouts spiders that are extremely agile on land?

Either way, getting major plot details to a movie on the net through some viral marketing scheme is retarded.  I hope this wasn\'t their plan.

It\'s all speculation.

As you can tell, the ending still gets my gut

That\'s JJ Abrahms for you.  Heck, people who watch lost without the internet have no clue what is going on.

The spiders were parasites attacking the monster. The monster would rub up against the buildings to get them off and the little critters would then attack humans.

Hud was annoying as hell when they were in the tunnel. "Hey, what if we saw a homeless guy on fire?" :rolleyes:

This would be a perfect movie for someone to copy "Wander" and climb the colossus and stab it in the weak spot.

I thought the movie was great. The feel of it was different than other movies. Thought it was well done. It was disturbing, though. The girl behind me was like having a panic attack or some shit when it ended.

I will wait for dv....uhm..i mean blu-ray!.........in six short months i\'ll ressurrect this thread and give you guys my view on it...:thumb:

^^

Unless you got a massive screen at home I\'d really recommend you seeing it in the cinema. Its so disorientating watching it on the big screen, and really adds an extra layer to the \'ride\' so to speak.

I think it would lose alot of impact on a smaller screen.

[GmanJoe]

Um....it\'s less disorienting when the screen is small. I knew this would be Blair Witch camera style so I sat all the in the back to avoid the motion sickness. If you\'re sensitive, get some Dramamine.

I have a 55" hitachi....and i don\'t have motion sickness....:fro:...i\'m good...

[GmanJoe]

You stole it.

pretty good movie. Wasn\'t expecting it to pull through on expectations..yay for pessimism

anyway, what happens after the credits? I hate when movies do that

[Viper_Fujax]

saw it today. Thought it was really good, but i stayed pessimistic about it since nothing could live up to its hype so that helped.

The comedic guy, while got a few chuckes, still kind of ruined a bunch of moods several times.

plus i get what they were doing with the \'leaving us in the dark\' on what was going on, but i do hope theres a second one that kind of explains where it came from. The best explanation i\'ve heard for why it was destroying everything was that it\'s a baby whatever-it-is and got scared, which is actually a cool idea.

just wish i wasnt too lazy to read into all the viral, background story stuff. I guess the thing that fell into the ocean at the end (i didnt see it), couldve been some sattelite from some company that woke up the monster. I REALLY doubt the thing is an alien
