Guy

It really bugs me when some lame piece of tripe like this, under the guise of 'art' gets puked up on a screen before me. Pretentious nonsense like this which pretends to be insightful and intelligent tends to ruin the reputation of the few good 'artsy' films that manage to get made. My only hope is that they put MST3K back on the air, so if anybody ever has to suffer through this pain parade can at least have a somewhat enjoyable time.

A fantastic comment on voyeurism and the media in modern times. A pioneer to the truman show this film echo's society's vicarious nature exemplified through the real life TV shows such as 'The real world' and big brother, but hints at the dangers of our own obsessions with others lives.

Vincent D'Onfrio is amazing as Guy, an initally reluctant victim of a female filmaker's camera who begins to enjoy her attention.....which provokes consequences on his own sanity.

A brilliant film.

The movie "Guy", from 1996, came to Mexico on September, 1998, probably because The Truman Show is about to be released here, and they are related in a certain way.

The only valuable thing on this movie is the acting of Vincent D'Onofrio, who is excellent playing Guy. The story is plain and boring.

Two years before "Truman Show" hit the screen, this small, little-known production examined similar issues of voyeurism and viewer obsession. Call this the flip side of "Truman Show" -- he KNOWS he's being filmed, and eventually starts to enjoy it in a twisted fashion. Far from the feel-good dynamic of "TS," this is rough, mean, sometimes brutal and perverse storytelling, but it is no less deeply profound because of it.

D'Onofrio is brilliant, as always. Director Lindsey-Hogg makes the fantastic choice of having "Camera" actor Hope Davis be present for the whole shoot, and the story's dynamic is immeasurably enhanced. Highly, highly recommended for adventurous viewers.

This is a great movie, it gave me so much to think about. It provides an insight about feeling safe while you are being watched, in this film it's a movie producer but although it doesn't directly tell it, or maybe it doesn't tell it at all, it could have referring to your parents watching you or why some people believe in god and feel safe with the thought of god watching over them. And the best part is that it doesn't dictate anything, this movie is nearly like a poem, you can understand it in many different ways, and everyone watching it can understand or see something different from it. And the best part is that it has an open ending and you ask yourself what may have happened. I believe the writer knows the human psychology very well.
