i don ' t know whether i hated it or loved it ; whether it meant nothing or everything ; whether it was truthy or bullshit . this is truly the what the fuck ? ! film of siff 2015 .
firstly to explain the name of the title
the blue hour
also known as
onthakan
means time between both morning and night , the realm between dreams and reality , or good and evil .
coincidentally , anucha boonyawatana ’s “the blue hour” opens a run at the museum of modern art in a week when two other films playing in new york remind us of the different connotations its color - coded titular adjective has had . andy warhol ’s “blue movie” ( 1968 ) , being shown at the whitney museum , recalls a time when “blue” meant erotic , naughty , titillating . meanwhile , “ born to be blue , ” the new , ethan hawke film about tragic jazz great chet baker , gives us the same hue as a synonym for beat , down , melancholic .
noe had to spend 20 - hour days poring over his naked images in order to have the film ready . ultimately his 3d ejaculation scene became the most talked about scene at the festival .
the blue hour is a sexy supernatural love story about a bullied loner , tam , who finds solace in the arms of phum , a boy he meets at a haunted swimming pool . phum reveals that his family ' s land has been stolen and the new found lovers imagine a perfect life together on the disputed land . haunted by a ghostly presence , tam struggles to stay connected to reality . an official selection of the berlin international film festival , the blue hour is a dark atmospheric tale of love and distress .
available on dvd and digital platforms 3 / 8 / 16 . the blue hour is a sexy supernatural love story about a bullied loner , tam , who finds solace in the arms of phum , a boy he meets at a haunted swimming pool . phum reveals that his family’s land has been stolen and the new found lovers imagine a perfect life together on the disputed land . haunted by a ghostly presence , tam struggles to stay connected to reality . an official selection of the berlin international film festival , the blue hour is a dark atmospheric tale of love and distress .
other , more malevolent forces soon intrude on the initial idyll , and that’s much to the film’s credit . while “the blue hour” opens in a way suggesting a typical gay coming - of - age tale , it quickly veers away from conventional formulas and expectations by using that genre to springboard into different and much darker ones .
for the first hour , you’d be forgiven for forgetting the blue hour was part of the “dark side of queer film” series . there’s nothing lighthearted about a victim of abuse , but at first the gorgeous cinematography depicts a burgeoning , wandering idyllic relationship in a practically post - apocalyptic urban landscape before slowly dipping into the horror elements . there’s little distinction between fantasy and reality as the film goes along . tam has clearly been traumatized by his life as a longtime victim , and there are hints that part of this psychosis may stem from an unidentified illness .
cannes topper thierry frémaux had naturally been keen to program the film after the festival’s 2013 explicit lesbian drama , blue is the warmest colour , had been a last - minute sensation , coming out of nowhere to win the coveted palme d’or .
“we don’t want to promote what is what . i remember it being a talking point with blue is the warmest colour . ”

i suppose the important question is , is the blue hour good ? the pace is slow and the horrors are introduced just as slowly , but any faster and they would probably seem ridiculous . the film kept me watching , wanting to know what the resolution would be , but i imagine the slow pace will frustrate audiences , and they will probably feel disappointed if they watch for a resolution . the blue hour is in turns gorgeous , creepy , and frustrating—more of a strange experience than a movie you’d walk out of and say , “i really enjoyed that ! ” the film is a lot of things , and it comes together well , although i have a feeling it won’t be to everyone’s taste . a lot of murder , not a lot of boys kissing .
idk if most of the people who watch this film for the first time felt the same way i had which is confusion .
not all the narrative threads quite come together in the blue hour , and it’s a huge testament to the film that it doesn’t really matter . the movie is sensual , mysterious and tense . the mood draws you in deeply , and it just makes you crave for more . this is one of the few films this year i’m already eager to rewatch — it’s a magical world , full of hints , deceptions and paranoia .
this is one of the more unsettling aspects of the film : tam and phum inhabit an almost empty , haunted landscape , and seem mostly unfazed by the horrors around them , at least at first . early on , tam bashes in the head of a gun - wielding thug and seems frightened but not particularly bothered by the murder . this gives the blue hour the strange logic of a nightmare , where shadowy horrors make sense even though you can’t quite grasp why .
the blue hour is a hard film to sort into a genre . there’s a level of romance , but it’s certainly not a romantic movie . maybe a very slow thriller , or a mostly pleasant horror ? actually , the closest thing to a genre that this feature from thailand falls into is a murakami novel : all vague symbolism , melancholic , alienated teenagers , and bizarre , unsettling magical realism .
this very welcome turn into less familiar territory means that the blue hour can abandon or at least heavily supplement its overly familiar coming - out and first - love romance angle , with several scary occurrences and twists producing both welcome and unwelcome frissons that’ll keep audiences on their toes . but boonyawatana’s command of the film ' s tricky , mercurial tone isn’t strong enough to keep the film readable or even just engaging throughout and at almost 100 minutes , there’s at least a good 15 minutes that feel like filler material .

though noé didn’t want to cast porn actors in love , which he insists is not a porn film .
it’s interesting that one of these meanings evokes the eye , cinema and pleasure , while the other relates to the ear , music and pain . but which of them fits “the blue hour” ? take your pick . perhaps the most striking and noteworthy thing about this independent thai film is that it intertwines the two meanings so deftly and completely . in so doing , it reminds us that while films in the west usually present sexual pleasure as primarily a bodily function and a ( temporary ) flight from death , in asian cinema the same phenomenon often has a spiritual dimension that connects with , rather than flees , mortality .
on the character level , i find tam ( the sensitive one ) more relatable and believable than phum ( who ' s a victim of the film ' s dreamlike state ) . some of the dialogue seems a bit on the nose , but it ' s hard to judge these things via subtitles . also , much of the film is shot quite beautifully .

overall : t ' was a great and unique movie i could say since it made me feel curious and had my urge to re - watch this film .
s / o 2 this film for showing me that true romance is taking ur bf to a haunted abandoned public pool on the first date and a garbage dump on the second one . and they say chivalry is dead !
although love , strife , and horror do eventually settle into some sort of alignment , the set of messages conveyed by their combination is hardly profound : repression generates aggression , there ' s respite in tenderness , and endless stories of troubled souls can certainly invade your sleep . but while dreams obviously don ' t always follow standard logic , invoking them to justify random plot shifts feels like an awfully convenient way of papering over the arbitrary . and if , as the blue hour ' s sugary ending implies , it was indeed all just a dream , what ' s the point in falling asleep in the first place ? there are far less convoluted ways to arrive at the same obvious goal .
i have a particular interest in the works of hitchcock , kurasawa , nolan , lynch , malick , wong kar - wai , welles , and scorsese . i am developing an interest in southeast and east asian cinema . my research areas include film and literary theory . i am currently working on the topic of film , memory , and dreams - subjectivity in cinema . and i still love spielberg and lucas .
the digital cinematography , with its frequently shallow depth of field , toggles smoothly between crisp and darkly suggestive images , though chapavich temnitikul ’s score is much better at ratcheting up the tension than at accompanying the melodrama . besides the camerawork , production designer phairot siriwat ' s atmospheric locations are the key contribution that enhance the production values of this no - doubt very modestly budgeted independent film .
that ' s more or less where i ' m at . i compared the movie to mulholland dr . above , but that last half - hour is more like lost highway or inland empire , really . mulholland dr . actually resolves into a pretty straightforward narrative once you look at it , which can ' t really be said for the other two movies mentioned .
when i finish watching the film , my reaction was like ;
huh , what happen ? !
,
who did this and who did that ? !
. i was just shocked by the ending but i really did not felt horrified nor scared .

what could have been a clever metaphor ( internalized homophobia literalized as a ghost ) is wasted in a boring ugly - looking movie , filmed in the darkest way possible , making details , important details , fade into blackness . aesthetically , there ' s little hang onto with this film as everything is inscrutable . the cool blues and teals are omnipresent and oppressive , choking out anything else in the film . overall , it was a chore to sit through , proving that even lgbt films can be tedious .
917 international guests , including more than 400 film industry professionals , flocked to montreal over the course of this year’s three - week festival and its frontières market . the festival team is delighted to have welcomed over 100 international journalists , including esteemed representatives from the hollywood reporter , variety , screen international , the wall street journal , the daily beast , indiewire , and le monde .
not exactly the most coherent effort but i appreciate any attempt at queer storytelling within the horror genre . overall the film is very much a question mark , and i struggled to make sense of what was happening throughout , but this was a mood piece first and foremost and it certainly exceeds in crafting an unsettling atmosphere .
“the character is not myself but he’s partly me and partly all these other guys i was hanging out with when i was in film school . you can see that murphy really likes cinema with all the posters in his room ; maybe he’s working as a second assistant director on a tv show . in any case the guy’s full of himself . the movie is about the failure of our success . ”

yes to both . the stuff with the mother honestly did very little for me ; same with the stuff with the brother . for me , the imagery outweighed all of that - - the junkyard , with its writhing masses of detritus and mysterious gunmen , for instance .

basically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley’s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . …
“it’s the only job where you can stop a girl in the street and get her number in one second . david lynch says it gives you entry into worlds you cannot get into otherwise and it’s true that being a director opens a lot of doors . it’s weird how people care about being in movies . if you do a mafia film you call the mafia guy and he’s going to tell you all his secret stories . ”
so i also saw this twice , and it is weird , even after you accept the genre mashup going on . for example ( mild spoilers going forward ) , when a ghost , evil spirit , or whatever finally seems to appear , the tension immediately dissipates and the mood shifts from terror to sadness and hopelessness . ( not to say this scene isn ' t scary . ) what seems to be going on is that most of the events of the second half of the film represent tam ' s state of mind , not events that are really happening . the continuity problems alone are enough to indicate this . but i struggle to make sense of the ending whether it ' s real or not .
on a motorcycle that phum borrows , the boys leave the city and visit a garbage dump on land that phum says his family owns and that still could provide them a fortune . but now the place is a morbid nightmare realm out of charles dickens by way of david cronenberg . it seems to conjure all of the demons buried in tam’s psyche , even as it turns up guns , corpses , criminal activity linked to tam’s brother , and ghosts that connect back to certain unquiet spirits sensed at that ramshackle swimming pool , to which the film eventually returns .
noé would go on to make the less successful drug - drenched melo - drama , enter the void , all the while knowing it would be love that would again capture the audience’s attention . yet it took some time to fund .
thereafter , they strip down to their undershorts and plunge into the enveloping blueness of that derelict swimming pool . the action evokes baptism , rebirth , the safety of the womb and a range of other possible associations , but its main function is to unite the boys in their own world - away - from - the - world . boonyawatana shows them looking up from underneath the water , and gives us pov shots of the world above . in real life , of course , filthy water like this would be the ticket to a variety of eye ailments , but here we’re meant to focus on the sensory wonderment and romantic connection .
the relationship only really takes off when phum subsequently shows up at tam’s home , manages to remain unseen by tam’s mother by climbing up to the roof , and the two start hanging out . during a trip to a garbage dump that’s on land that used to belong to phum’s family , the film starts to move into much darker territory , as things seem to move underneath the trash and corpses , gunmen and other assorted bogeymen seem to appear both here and in other places - - and it becomes clear that at least some of these elements might be manifestations of tam’s subconscious . indeed , phum foreshadowed as much during their first meeting when he suggested there were ghosts present at the abandoned pool , a hint one should never take lightly in films from the country of filmmakers such as apichatpong weerasethakul .
yup . i still don ' t know what this movie is . it ' s creepy . it ' s frustrating . time moves independently of the film . you ' ll think you watched three minutes of a really slow movie and 15 minutes will have passed . at other times , you ' ll insist that time has stopped altogether . i ' m not sure what this movie is , but it is fascinating .
a cannes regular , the argentina - born french director loves to shock , though in the past he had dealt more with violence .
the story here opens at a place and time that also evoke that crucial color . at a rundown , abandoned swimming pool , in the bluish light of dusk , two boys who look about high - school age find each other , apparently having arranged the rendezvous on the internet . tam ( attaphan poonsawas ) , the younger and prettier of the two , arrives bearing the scars of beatings by school bullies who presumably despise him for being gay . initially he seems a bit hesitant at the appearance of the more masculine and confidant phum ( oabnithi wiwattanawarang ) , who could be another assailant . but the two boys have come here for the same thing , and they are soon groping their way through their first ( clothed and non - explicit ) sexual encounter .
i just really got curious of what really happened to the plot of the story so i basically watch the movie one more time and i just found out what this movie is all about though . lol : p

an interview with terry gilliam , director of
the man who killed don quixote .
in the opening scene of this , there is a really heartbreakingly intimate scene between the two leads . i loved it . that was the end of what i loved about this movie . everything else did . . . not really connect for me and was mostly boring ?
he is , as the late great robert palmer once put it , addicted to love .
both of those selections get at the thing that most grabbed me about the movie , actually : it starts off like a pretty standard coming - of - age story featuring a sensitive gay boy and his more assertive , more experienced boyfriend , and then - - about halfway through - - it takes a turn into david lynchville , circa mulholland dr . there are junkyards full of corpses , dogs who just won ' t die , possible hauntings . and all the while the movie is shot like . . . well , like a pretty standard coming - of - age story featuring a sensitive gay boy . i watched the film twice in a week and i still can ' t figure out exactly what to do with it . for all of lynch ' s weirdness , he is at least comforting in that you know what ' s coming ; his style and his content are closely aligned . what ' s interesting - - and frustrating and intriguing - - about this movie is precisely the way in which , with a couple of exceptions , style and content don ' t align .
“sometimes the addiction is more self - destructive , sometimes less . there is something in the chemicals when we’re in love that really drives us crazy . the movie shows that love is not only a land of pleasure and joy , but also a land of war and fear . ”
i didn ' t even look at the ratings , so now i ' m a bit nervous ( the two reviews i posted are mixed - leaning - positive ) . even if it ' s a bust , though , i ' m curious to know how the movie strikes you .
tam ( atthaphan poonsawas ) , whose bullies think nothing of leaving him beaten up and bleeding on the sports fields of their school , meets phum ( oabnithi wiwattanawarang ) at a pool complex that’s abandoned and somewhat eerie but at least offers the two total privacy . they’ve clearly hooked up via the internet and young tam ' s obviously not familiar with the etiquette of random trysts , though here , and despite the not - exactly - sexy surroundings , he’s not shy to go after what he wants .
in this strange and haunting ghost story , a bullied gay teenager has a steamy tryst with a stranger he met on the internet , only to have the affair take on darker and more mysterious connotations .
tam , a victim of physical abuse at the hands of his family and classmates , meets phum , a mysterious teenage drifter , in an abandoned pool complex for a hookup . phum explains that the place is haunted before the two fool around , but a close relationship develops . tam’s fragile emotional state and illness mean reality begins to fall apart , toward a world where unseen spirits threaten—or aid ? —the living .
so , there ' s tam , a cute high school boy whom we meet after he ' s had a beating . in an abandoned pool , he meets phum . they exchange handies . phum tells tam to exhale all the air and submerge himself in the pool . this is the last normal thing to happen .
that scene where the ghost or whatever it is appears is particularly good , i think , and for precisely the reasons you mention . it ' s actually really tense - - though that may be my own inexperience with that kind of ghost - story talking - - but the tension is a build - up to something much more devastating ( and i do find the end pretty devastating , even if i don ' t understand it ) .
siff ' s mission is to create experiences that bring people together to discover extraordinary films from around the world . it is through the art of cinema that we foster a community that is more informed , aware , and alive .
cheif among the festival’s 22 buzzed - about world premieres were ludo from nikon and q , ken ochiai’s ninja the monster , momentum by stephen s . campanelli , anguish by sonny mallhi , yoav and doron paz’s jeruzalem , cherry tree by david keating , jacob gentry’s synchronicity , and the 11 - filmmaker omnibus tales of halloween . other sold - out films of note included takeshi kitano’s ryuzo and the seven henchmen , marvels’ ant - man from peyton reed , the visit by michael madsen , gilles paquet - brenner’s dark places , and closing night selection attack on titan from shinji higuchi .

an anthology of short stories about the last day of people ' s lives inspired by newspaper headlines from 2012 - 2016 .
most of the reviews i ' ve read focus on the movie ' s interaction with lgbtq issues in thailand , and that ' s certainly a major theme . but i think it ' s only a major theme , depending on how you read the last twenty minutes or so ( which i won ' t spoil , on behalf of those who hate spoilers ) .
glusman , who has a minor part in roland emmerich’s upcoming gay drama stonewall , was thrown in at the deep end .
“gaspar had decided to start with a close up of my genitals , ” he recalls of the first day of shooting .
a sexy supernatural love story about a bullied loner , tam , who finds solace in the arms of phum , a boy he meets at a haunted swimming pool . phum reveals that his family ' s land has been stolen and the new found lovers imagine a perfect life together on the disputed land . haunted by a ghostly presence , tam struggles to stay connected to reality .
“the good thing about this movie is all the people i proposed to be on - screen knew my previous movies and knew we were doing something valuable , a real movie about a real subject — love — and not something dirty , ” noé says .
“it’s more like a joke rather than creating a scandal . i wanted to have fun , to play with the audience . ”
it does have a lot of things i like in films : gays , sad hugs , water metaphors ; but i had a hard time adjusting to the constant genre switch . surprisingly , the ending ( what an ending ) didn ' t completely lost me .
eventually the story swirls into a lynchian hellscape at half speed . you ' re bored to tears by the lethargic pace , but simultaneously there ' s nothing but entertainment . the two boys make out in a garbage dump . there ' s a body count . mold is involved . it ' s all dream logic - y and maybe not even in chronological order . somebody may have schizophrenia .
interesting for awhile , but it was just too enigmatic ultimately to connect with me . i did appreciate the filmmaking craft on display .

thing is , i don ' t think that the ending is particularly sugary . for one thing , the reality - dream stuff is so mixed up here that i ' m not convinced that the last shot isn ' t also in tam ' s head . for another - - well , on first viewing my impression was that tam was leading phum out into the water in order to commit murder - suicide ( this reading would depend on taking the death of tam ' s family as a real - world event ) . on second viewing , i was less certain . but , whatever ' s going on there , it certainly isn ' t sweetness - and - light . it isn ' t sugary .
tam , a timid loner , is bullied regularly by his fellow pupils at school . he is met with similar rejection and suspicion within the narrow confines of his parents’ dingy home , where his father beats him . one day tam arranges online to meet phum at a derelict swimming pool . they are both looking for sex , but their encounter leaves them with a feeling of comfort and security . a close bond develops between the two boys and , before long , they are roaming the rubbish heaps and dark corners of the city together , day and night . phum opens a door for tam , revealing a fantastical parallel universe full of spirits and dangerous encounters . although he feels safe and loved for the first time in his life , tam can no longer differentiate between dream and reality and finds himself increasingly drawn into a spiral of paranoia and violence . in his feature debut boonyawatana leads his protagonist into an ambiguous microcosm full of chasms , at the same time cleverly toying with the conventions of different genres .
for the music i gave it a 1 . 0 because honestly i don ' t really recall their being any music until the very end sadly and i was looking forward well i ' m always looking forward to music in horror movies that ' s just cause i ' m weird .
after a somewhat nervous and quick first sexual encounter ( nudity and sex are more often suggested than actually shown ) , the two get talking around the pool and tam reveals something of his day - to - day misery at school and at home , where his mother ( duangjai hirunsri ) whines about his father hating
it
( i . e . , his sexual orientation ) and wonders out loud why her son can’t have any pity on her and simply ignore his desire to be with men . though it’s clear why the uncomfortable scenes with tam’s family are needed , boonyawatana and co - screenwriter waasuthep ketpetch don’t do themselves any favors here with some extremely didactic and on - the - nose ( at least in the subtitles ) dialogue .
it may not be
goo - goo eyed ,
but it does appear that the principals don ' t have a body hair between them . i ' ve thought before that the word
hairless
is often code for something else , but i haven ' t figured out quite what .

one of the things that ' s interesting to me here - - and this is related to the genre - play alluded to above - - is the fact that these boys are very much types . if much of this movie is in tam ' s head , it makes sense to me that phum might wind up being much more typically seme ( to cross from one asian country to another ) - - though i think he ' s not just that .
ok , so i mentioned this movie in another thread and made a ( fruitless ) inquiry on facebook about it a few weeks back , but i ' m wondering if anyone has gotten a chance to watch this movie ? trailer and some review links and then my thoughts . if you want to watch the movie unspoiled ( which i did ) , i ' d advise skipping the trailer , which really doesn ' t get at the central weirdness of this movie :

i gave the acting cast a 7 . 0 / 10 because i ' ve actually seen other movies with the main actors who ' s done a lot better job giving them 10 / 10 and i always rate with a 9 . 0 if it was really good because you never know when something else will come along and be just as good but if it amazed me to a point i had no choice then of course its a 10 / 10 .

i rated the story a 5 . 0 / 10 only because phum was basically leading tam to a dark place in life and that ' s not something anyone should be doing to somebody especially when they ' re going through what tam has gone through .

“in most societies whether they’re western or not , people want to control the sexual behaviour or to organise it in a precise context . sex is like a danger zone . sometimes class barriers fall down and it scares a lot of people . it’s about states controlling their systems , like religion . ”
i ' m about to give it a shot . i note that it has remarkably low ratings on imdb and netflix , but , on the other hand , experience suggests that if something strikes nbooth as weird , it ' s very weird - enough to be at least interesting . another preliminary observation going in :
the movie is actually i wouldn ' t say really scary unless you get terrified easily but it was very creepy like scary creepy and there is a scene that you must be careful of cause you may not be sleeping at night if you happen to be watching this at 8 o ' clock at night , so yeah basically as it says it ' s a horror movie .

“i didn’t ask karl to show me but i knew a girl who slept with him and she said he is ‘gifted’ . ”
glusman said he quickly got used to a minimum of six people staring at his private parts .
noé’s stance has long been that he doesn’t want audiences to know which bits are for real .
“in what you call ‘adult movies’ there are no feelings at all . you never see people kissing or talking about pregnancy . you never see any girl having her periods and you never see a girl with regular pubic hair . it’s like a separate world that has nothing to do with normal life .
as with nymphomaniac , by another cinematic renegade , lars von trier , love isn’t as titillating as it might seem .
he plays murphy , a self - obsessed filmmaker , who is in a happy relationship with electra ( muyock ) until a night of lust with his neighbour omi ( kristin ) and a broken condom leads to a pregnancy .
of course powerful or famous people are highly susceptible , as well as directors like murphy and noé .
and , at 51 , noé says he still likes going to night clubs . still a bad boy indeed .

baby ' s day out
looks like an attempt to make a live - action comedy out of the same kinds of material that inspired the baby herman sequence at the beginning of
who framed roger rabbit .
it demonstrates that what ' s funny in animation does not always translate to the real world . i laughed when baby herman went fearlessly crawling on top of the refrigerator , but here , when baby bink crawled under a taxi and out into traffic , i wasn ' t as amused .
that’s pretty much the entire plot of the movie . baby bink hangs out with some gorillas ( not nearly as funny as it sounds ) , and the villains fall off buildings and into wet cement . so why was baby’s day out so dull compared to home alone ? first of all , it was just home alone but with a younger kid . a baby , actually , a baby who couldn’t talk back to his kidnappers or devise elaborate devices for them to get hit in the balls with . that’s the first misstep . the other : it’s so damn precious . there’s cutesy music throughout , and you never feel like anyone’s in any actual danger . there’s menace in home alone , because marv and harry are legitimately terrifying . baby’s day out is like watching benji right after you’ve seen cujo ; the stakes just aren’t as high .

baby ' s muscle tone - the baby’s muscle tone is assessed in the early hours of life . weak muscle tone may be a warning sign of a problem . strong , vigorous muscle movements are very reassuring of a health newborn baby .
children - as - charmers are the deeply profitable specialty of john hughes — he of the home alone oeuvre — but kids keep growing and eventually they’re not such cute movie subjects any more and then hughes has to break in a whole new cast of rookies . his canny solution in this close home alone relative ( written and produced by hughes and directed by patrick read johnson ) , baby bink is so tiny , so speechless , and so safe in his bubble of movie baby innocence that hughes won’t have to worry about the worton twins wisemouthing up for a good two or three sequels ( i foresee toddler’s day out , kindergartner’s day out , second - grader’s day out , etc . ) .
use soothing sounds . talk or sing softly to your baby . background noise can be soothing . try running a fan or humidifier in your baby’s room .
i remember literally nothing about baby’s day out , other than i disliked it so much that i just had to leave . was it scary ? was it miracle on 34th street - level boring ? was it too complex ? was the idea of a little baby crawling loose in the big city too much for my soon - to - be - scarred - from - mufasa’s - death brain to handle ? ( the lion king came out a week after baby’s day out ) . i was seven at the time ( july 1994 ) , and loved similar baby - titled films , like baby : secret of the dinosaurs ( the scene where the dinosaur has the underwear on his head absolutely killed ) . to figure out this mystery that has haunted my existence for the past 17 years , i went back and re - watched the movie . and yup , it was boring .

ironically , many babies suffer from sleep deprivation because they are hauled out at every time of day and prevented from napping on their own biological rhythms because the parents view the baby as an accessory or can ' t be

immediately after delivery , a newborn baby is dried off and a nurse clears the baby’s airway of any secretions . a few things need to be answered immediately after birth .
“baby’s day out” may be deserving of at least one award . it’s difficult to recall when so many accomplished performers have worked this far below their professional standards . mantegna and pantoliano struggle to maintain some shred of dignity , while boyle and john neville can’t quite decide whether to speak up or let their roles fade into the background .

it is important to tune in to your own reaction to your baby’s crying . how it affects you impacts your ability to soothe her . some parents are more distressed by their baby’s crying than others . how do you feel when your baby cries ? do you find yourself getting very upset yourself when your baby cries ? if so , how do or can you calm yourself ?
parents will learn if their baby’s newborn screening result is out of the normal range from their baby’s health care provider and / or the state newborn screening program . an abnormal newborn screen result does not necessarily mean your baby is ill . it may occur because the blood sample was collected too soon after birth , not enough blood was obtained , or your infant did not have enough breast or bottle feedings prior to the testing . however , sometimes an out - of - range result indicates a serious , but treatable , health problem . it is important for parents to follow up with the baby’s primary healthcare provider immediately to learn the cause of the out - of - range result .

identifying , as best you can , the reason for your baby’s crying will help you figure out how to respond to him in the most sensitive and effective way . the following questions can help guide you :
this bears repeating : that comment is in the thread for baby’s day out , a movie where one character actually says , “if you want to be a shoplifter , go to jcpenney” ; a movie whose keywords on imdb include “kid outsmarts adult , ” “stupidity , ” and “gorilla” ; a movie where in his hollywood debut , verne troyer , mini me himself , is the stunt double for baby bink .
baby ' s heart rate - a newborn baby’s normal heart rate should be between 120 - 160 beats per minute . the rate may go down to between 85 - 90 beats per minute for a full - term baby during sleep . if a newborn’s heart rate is either too high or too low , it could signal some underlying heart disease or lung problem .

if you’ve visited the newborn ward , you’ve probably noticed that crying is contagious . if a newborn baby hears another baby cry , she joins in , too .
after writing and producing the box - office smash home alone , john hughes tried to repeat the formula with baby’s day out . again , a child puts crotchety criminals through a gauntlet of slapstick accidents but here the hero is a gurgling infant , outwitting his ineffective kidnappers during a crawling tour of chicago . baby’s day out may have tanked at home in the states – only making back $ 17m of its $ 48m budget – but its broad physical comedy exported surprisingly well to india . as well as becoming a hit in its own right , it inspired the quickie tollywood remake sisindri in 1995 and a less successful malayalam - language version four years later ( titled , rather confusingly , james bond ) .

his films helped establish an international notion of ordinary american teenagers , and he was as popular abroad as at home . once when i was visiting the largest movie theater in calcutta , i asked if
star wars
had been their most successful american film . no , i was told , it was baby ' s day out ,
a hughes comedy about a baby wandering through a big city , which played for more than a year .
it ' s a strange thing , humor . it often works best when it involves pain and humiliation . but it has to walk a finely drawn line .
baby ' s day out
contains gags that might have worked in a baby herman cartoon , but in live action , with real people , real taxis and buses and streets and a real baby , they ' re just not funny . the worton twins are adorable as baby bink , however ; the audience produced an audible coo the first time they saw bink on the screen . they more they like him , unfortunately , the less they ' re likely to enjoy him crawling along a ledge .

nice joke , user . so it turns out you haven ' t seen all the best movies .
fans of the home alone franchise will find much in common with this movie , also penned by john hughes . . . maybe a little too much in common . baby ' s day out follows an almost identical narrative to home alone 2 , except , unlike macauley culkin , this child is still in diapers ( which never need to be changed , by the way ) .
that ' s not exactly true . rats are social cognitive learners , similar to a baby in this context . most animals are not .
baby’s day out was written by john hughes ( who also penned the screenplay to miracle —damn you , hughes ! ) , and stars joe “fat tony” mantegna , joe “ralphie” pantoliano , and brian “no nickname” haley as a trio of thieves who hatch a plan to kidnap baby bink , because he has rich parents , played by lara flynn boyle and matthew glave . needless to say , their plans are thwarted , in the most home alone - esque ways possible , and baby bink crawls away , eventually onto a bus and later , into a department store .
based on the 1994 movie of the same name , baby ' s day out is a cancelled video game developed by designer software and published by hi tech entertainment that was scheduled for release in october 1994 . it was fully completed and ready to be released on the super nintendo entertainment system , sega genesis and game boy , but was cancelled at the last minute for unknown reasons .
something like this happened , but not because of the til . really liked this movie as a kid . that was also the only time i saw it . cut to a few years ago and am watching movies with a girl at home , and buffer up baby ' s day out , based purely on my memories of it . it wasn ' t how i ' d remembered it at all , and that ' s not saying i misremembered the movie , just how funny the movie was . what i thought was funny as a kid , was very very unfunny as an adult . didn ' t laugh as much if at all . managed to save the date , but realized that not all movies i liked as a child are as great as i remember them . baby ' s day out is a bad movie .

if there’s a need for continued baby care , a medical home has been found and information about the baby’s birth has been sent over . if the baby leaves the hospital before 48 hours , there needs to be a follow - up appointment by a doctor at least 72 hours later , 48 hours if there are any known risk factors . if there’s no guarantee of a follow - up , then discharge needs to be put on hold .
over the following decade , hughes went on to write and produce critical duds like the 1993 adaptation of dennis the menace , 1994’s baby’s day out , and a quirky but forgettable remake of the absent - minded professor starring robin williams , 1997’s flubber . none of these films resonated the way his earlier works did , but they made a lot of money ( 1996’s 101 dalmatians netted $ 136 , 189 , 294 , while flubber took in $ 92 , 977 , 226 ) . but there are some bright spots in hughes’s post - home alone filmography , like the film’s sequel and the surprisingly dark and sad 1994 remake of miracle on 34th street that hughes wrote and produced . )

most of the time , these things can’t happen before the baby is 48 hours old . considering getting out of the hospital before then should only happen if the baby is born at between 38 - 42 weeks of pregnancy , is a normal weight for their age , and can meet the guidelines above .

involves mantegna hiding the kid under a coat on his lap , while two cops question him . baby bink finds mantegna ' s lighter , snaps it on , and sets his crotch on fire . the hidden fire lasts forever , it seems , while mantegna ' s face tries to mask the pain . then the cops leave , mantegna leaps up , his pants burst into flame , and one of his pals saves him by stamping out the fire - grinding his heel into the burning crotch , of course . the sequence was agonizing , but i didn ' t think it was funny .
first , a physician , nurse , midwife , or other trained member of the hospital staff will fill out a newborn screening card . one part of this card is the filter paper to collect the baby’s blood sample . the other part is for important information for the lab performing the screen , such as the baby’s name , sex , weight , date / time of birth , date / time of heel stick collection , and date / time of first feeding . it will also include the contact information of the parents and the baby’s primary care provider for the follow - up results .

baby ' s day out is a 5 . 9 / 10 on imdb and indians tend to like slapstick comedy over dialogue based humor , satire or situation comedy . one possible reason for this is that most indians cannot understand foreign accents at all , and when dubbed very little is lost in translation with slapstick . i ' m sure certain regions of india have
high brow comedy
, but mainstream bollywood has a retarding effect .
but it’s worth having a quantitative look at newborn behavior , particularly with the recent emphasis that hospitals are putting on “baby friendly” practices , designed to aid breastfeeding .
try different ways to hold your baby . some babies love to be snuggled tightly against their parent’s chest . some like to be able to look over their parent’s shoulder . others prefer to be held faced away from you . many respond well to the “football hold , ” when a parent cradles her baby in her arms like a football . there is no right or wrong way as long as your baby is safe .
i don ' t know what you mean by all the best movies , but i haven ' t gotten bored of watching the plane scene once a day .
the baby successfully does at least two feedings , and can swallow , suck and breathe while feeding .
see , i think you people who co - sleep and baby led ween are lazy and weak .
reminiscent of
home alone ,
with a baby which proves too tough for its bumbling kidnappers .
it ' s an underrated movie . it ' s not a great movie or even a very good movie , but it ' s far better than the reviews . 7 / 10
oh , and it cost $ 48 million to make , which is twice as much as speed and equivalent to the flintstones and forrest gump . thing is , those were all highly successful , huge grossing movies . baby’s day out only made $ 16 million at the box office , making it 84th highest grosser of 1994 ; even richie rich made more . its rotten tomatoes rating is 21 % , and a planned video game adaptation was scrapped .

babies divide up the world between things that respond to them and things that don ' t ,
goldstein said . and things that don ' t , don ' t teach . a recording does not follow a baby ' s cues , which is why infant dvds , such as baby einstein and brainy baby , have been found to be ineffective , he explained .
there’s ample reason to wonder how hughes and his work would be viewed if he’d gone down a different path and not simply chased the broad box - office appeal . there’s an undeniable urgency and energy to the movies from the 1980s that bear his name that you just don’t find in his later work . the formula he came up with for home alone , the one he found the most success with , was structurally sound and easy to replicate , but ultimately empty . it’s frank whaley and jennifer connelly in career opportunities forced to defend a target store against two dimwitted robbers , dennis the menace doing battle with a burglar named switchblade sam , the baby in baby’s day out outsmarting three kidnappers , and the very forgettable third home alone film .

caregiver sensitivity may be harmed . a caregiver who learns to ignore baby crying , will likely learn to ignore the more subtle signaling of the child ' s needs . second - guessing intuitions that guide one to want to stop child distress , the adult who learns to ignores baby needs practices and increasingly learns to
harden the heart .
the reciprocity between caregiver and baby is broken by the adult , but cannot be repaired by the young child . the baby is helpless .
the kids in the theater seats behind me , rattling their popcorn and kicking my chair , especially loved the part in baby’s day out where 9 - month - old baby bink ( twins adam robert worton and jacob joseph worton ) , unaware of being pursued by a trio of bumbling kidnappers , crawls into the revolving door of chicago’s marshall field’s department store . he sits up on his padded , osh - koshed bottom and smiles a winning baby smile . a store customer ( who doesn’t notice the small blond visitor ) pushes the door , thereby propelling the child , who is scootched onto the selling floor with a gentle glide and a nicely dubbed gurgle . hahahahaha ! went the delighted kids behind me , followed by gargling sounds produced with soda straws . awwwwww ! went the charmed adults .
it ' s a sad truth that child actors invariably turn out to have difficult lives . but what of baby actors ? well , happily , things seem to turn out well for those who grace the big screen at a very little age . mainly because they either turn their backs on acting or have no acting skill to speak of in the first place . they just had to sit there and look cute .
baby ' s temperature - a newborn’s normal temperature , taken under the armpit , is between 97 . 7 and 99 . 5 degrees fahrenheit for a child resting in an open crib . the baby’s temperature may be a little high at first due to mom having a fever or just from the warm environment of the womb . if the elevated temperature continues , this could be signal of an infection .

swaddle your baby . some babies cry less when they are wrapped snugly in a blanket—called “swaddling”—and gently rocked .

normally , vitamin k is given to a newborn baby right after birth to help prevent what’s called vkdb , or vitamin k deficient bleeding . either nurses may give vitamin k as a drink or it may be injected right into baby’s muscles . according to the american academy of pediatrics , the injected version is better than the oral version because it prevents a baby from getting vkdb either within its first week of life , or later on . parents need to know there are serious problems with possible intracranial bleeding if they decide against their baby getting vitamin k .
i love this movie , it ' s so cute , me and my mom watched it all the time and now that she ' s gone , it ' s a special memory for me . we love the part when the baby and one of the bad guys are at a construction site and the baby drools and the bad guy slips it in and falls and a hammer flies up in the air and hits him in the face and then the baby looks back at him and then puts his head down and shakes his head while laughing at him , it ' s so funny and cute . i don ' t know how they got the baby to do that but it was priceless .
at birth , they are primed and ready for social input . even if you are too tired too notice , your loving care has profound effects on your baby’s developing mind .

a baby’s transition from life in the womb , to life outside of the womb , refers to the first four to six hours after being born . certain changes you can expect include changes in a baby’s breathing as more blood starts flowing to the lungs , as well as more oxygen getting to the lungs as the fluid starts to clear out . this is a critical time for baby , and the newborn needs to be evaluated every half hour to every hour to make sure that extra care , besides just the routine care , isn’t needed . starting in the delivery room and later in the mother’s room and / or nursery the following parameters will be watched closely .
shame this study doesn ' t look at the damage caused by baby - led parenting . as you say there are plenty of co - slept adults out there today who can ' t sleep with the light off . how is that right ?
it was very painful for me , i felt so sorry for them - but i also felt like it encouraged good sleep habits . and i didn ' t feel like they felt unloved , just
unhappy
because they were very sleepy and couldn ' t figure out how to go to sleep . so crying
it
out meant crying out the inability to go to sleep on their own .
if i follow your gaze , i can figure out all sorts of things : what you are looking at , what your intentions are , and what you might do next . thus , gaze - following is a important tool for learning . it draws a baby ' s attention to important things in the environment , and helps babies develop an understanding of other people ' s minds .
somewhere , far too late in the plot progression of “baby’s day out , ” one of the befuddled villains eyes the camera and declares : “this isn’t funny anymore . ” the latest offering from writer / producer john hughes is a tired retread of past comic formulas played a pitch higher , a rhythm faster ; it tries too hard to please and fails miserably . aimed squarely at a very young audience , it should have some initial activity and disappear quickly into the summer mill of commercially disappointing programmers .
tests on the moms including syphilis and hepatitis b have occurred , and in some states , she’s been screened for hiv . also , if there were any tests for the baby’s blood type , the cord or anemia tests , the results were reviewed .
babies cry when they ' re tired - that is what ' s

alright , assuming i underestimated my taste and range in movies , one day , not too long from today , i will be out of movies , and i ' m not going to resort to shitty b movies or top 40 marxist crap . i won ' t turn into an alcoholic waiting for the latest mememovie .
this movie is worth checking out . even though it ' s predictable , the events that happen as this movie unfolds are funny as hell . especially the part when eddie has the baby in his lap under his coat and the police are asking him whether or not he has seen any babies today . the baby lights eddie ' s lighter - - the rest you ' ll have to see to believe . i rated this 10 out of 10 stars , and i agree with the first person who said
drink your bottle of milk and enjoy this predictable film ,
because that ' s exactly what you should do . don ' t take it seriously or else you ' ll miss the point .
and yet , the movie has an oddly huge following — at least for a shitty movie about a baby . in an obituary written by roger ebert after hughes passed away , the film critic wrote , “once when i was visiting the largest movie theater in calcutta , i asked if star wars had been their most successful american film . no , i was told , it was baby’s day out …which played for more than a year . ” ( ebert hated the movie , and got into an argument with gene siskel , who gave it a thumbs up . ) baby’s was even remade twice , once into sisindri , released in india in 1995 , and four years later , james bond ( seriously ) , a “malayalam language comedy film directed by baiju kottarakkara , ” but you probably knew that already .
if your baby is taking in less milk or formula ( his feeding patterns have changed ) or has lost weight .
it’s a simple enough premise , but neither hughes nor director patrick read johnson provides much novelty . the action is either played out for slapstick or dripping with pathos . either tack is geared toward obvious results .
if you read roger ebert ' s review of the movie , you ' ll get a sense of why it ' s rated low .
