Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): tbwp is probably the single most profitable film ever .
not surprising , considering its tiny us$100 , 000 budget , to date it has earned in excess of us$130 million .
that 's a shocking 100 times profit !
rumours have it that a smart internet ` marketing ' ploy was so successful in gaining cult - like fanatics , by word of mouth coupled with strings of excellent reviews , the film just exploded in the box - office , raking in millions on its opening weekend .
shot in 16 mm and video ( i suspect . )
, the film chronicles the forays of 3 students who go in search for the legendary blair witch .
audiences are put in the first - person perspective in the entire mis - adventure , often wobbly and blurry at times , it takes a bit of getting used to in the beginning .
this is supposed to be the material they discovered in the woods where the 3 disappeared ; edited and put onto the screen for the benefit of our audiences .
tbwp is
simply smart . filmed to look as if it was really a stock - shoot by a bunch of students in search of the blair witch as a school project , one may suspect ( like yours truly ) that its simply a lazy but smart approach to film - making .
simply amazing in that respect , i must say .
talk about impact ,
oh yes , tbwp does have quite a bit , in fact most audience will find it deeply disturbing .
i did , especially the last bit
but i 'm not revealing more .
you have to see it for yourself .
i ca n't help but feel a tad cheated after knowing how commercially successful this film has become .
could it be that finally , an indie - film has unwittingly found a formula for commercial appeal ?
or was it all simply a ploy by the big players right from the beginning ?
well , i guess the fact stays ; tbwp is highly original , clever and will most definitely leave most with something dreadful to talk and think about for weeks prior to watching this film .
no gore , no special effects ,
i just ca n't get over how terribly smart this film is !
Output (English): P
