The Vanishing
(The original Dutch version, though in Dutch it is Spoorloos, but whatever. Not the far inferior American remake. Not really even sure what the point of that American remake was)

Black Friday, Indian movie are allowed right?
I hadn't heard of this prior to you posting it, but it's now on my to-watch list. Now that list is very, very, very long, but hopefully I'll get to it someday!!!
Can we do upcoming films? If so.....
The Great Gatsby (2013)
This is going to be directed by Baz Luhrmann, the same guy that did Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge!, so it should be interesting

I love this film (and Zhang Yimou and Gong Li in general), and would certainly recommend it to any movie-loving, subtitle-friendly Lusher, but the current DVD version is so disappointing. Check out Raise the Red Lantern instead (also by Zhang Yimou/with Gong Li). Gorgeous

I ask this because I was reading a story the other day that was first person but read more like this:
"I took you into my arms I knew you could feel my hardness pressing against you"
Quote by Dancing_Doll
This is not first person. It's called 'second person narrative'.
I don't take the story in the literal sense of putting myself into the other person's position. I can imagine myself as either the writer's perspective or as the person they're writing to/about, so gender differences don't bother me in that regard. Or I can just appreciate it as though I'm reading a letter that I have nothing to do with and watching a scene unfold.
I typically use first or third person, but my last story was in second-person narrative (I wanted to try something different). That perspective has a more intimate and immediate feel but probably is the least popular tense for readers. Having said that, if you can pull off a story, I don't care what tense it's in. I've enjoyed reading stories in all three.
Would that be considered second person? Whenever I think of second person, I think of the "you" as being the subject, not the object. Would determining the reader's actions, even if the reader is not the subject, automatically make it second person? When I think second person, I think of those old Choose-Your-Own Adventure Books or a film like Blast of Silence. Like "You took him into your arms" instead of "I took you into my arms". Maybe a first and second person combo? It doesn't really matter, I just have never thought about where that sort of writing would fit into the narrative spectrum (writing with both an "I" and then a "you").
Regardless, yeah, that sort of "I verb you" writing is seldom in prose. You find it much more often in romantic/confessional type songs, poetry, correspondence, etc.
