Re: Wikimovie Game
Since its release, some critics and film historians have interpreted [Redacted] as a subversive film that critiques 1960s American society, international Cold War politics and domestic racism. Elliot Stein of The Village Voice saw the film as an ardent critique of American involvement in the Vietnam War

Re: Wikimovie Game
Nope.
Other prevalent themes included "disillusionment with government and patriarchal nuclear family"[139] and "the flaws inherent in the media, local and federal government agencies, and the entire mechanism of civil defense".[144] Film historian Linda Badley explains that the film was so horrifying because the monsters were not creatures from outer space or some exotic environment, "They're us."

Re: Wikimovie Game
Next clue:
The film was completed on a $114,000 budget and shot outside Pittsburgh, where it had its theatrical premiere on October 1, 1968. The film grossed $12 million domestically and $18 million internationally, earning over 250 times its budget. [Redacted] has been regarded as a cult classic by film scholars and critics, despite its being heavily criticized upon its release for its explicit gore. It eventually garnered critical acclaim and has been selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry, as a film deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."[3][4]
...
The small budget dictated much of the production process. According to Hardman, "We knew that we could not raise enough money to shoot a film on a par with the classic horror films with which we had all grown up. The best that we could do was to place our cast in a remote spot and then bring the horror to be visited on them in that spot".[17] Scenes were filmed near Evans City, Pennsylvania, 30 miles (48 km) north of Pittsburgh in rural Butler County;[32] the opening sequence was shot at the Evans City Cemetery on Franklin Road, south of the borough.[33] The cemetery chapel was under warrant for demolition; however, Gary R. Steiner led a successful effort to raise $50,000 to restore the building, and the chapel is currently undergoing renovations.[34][35]

Re: Wikimovie Game
Once the clue of "one of us" and then rereading the first clue about racism and Vietnam, I figured it. Good clues. Yay Tahlvin.

Re: Wikimovie Game
Parts of the film were shot in Alta, Brighton, and Snowbird in Utah.
Siskel & Ebert gave the film two thumbs down. Bill Cosford of The Miami Herald wrote, "[...] has the body of a tired teen comedy but the soul of an inspired student film; it's the first movie in a long time to interrupt itself periodically with flights of animated fancy. At one point, romantic foreshadowing is accomplished by a "clay-mation" sequence featuring cheeseburgers in love. At another, a lovesick teen draws a cartoon picture of his faithless girlfriend, and the drawing tells him to get lost."

Re: Wikimovie Game
Pressman lacked capital for the endeavor, and in 1979, after having his proposals for investments rejected by the major studios, he sold the project to Dino De Laurentiis.

Re: Wikimovie Game
The film industry's usual practice was to contract a composer to start work after the main scenes had been filmed, but Milius hired Poledouris before principal photography had started.
