The New Generation of Hitchcock filmmakers

Rating: 9/10 (18 October 2005)

What and under watched piece of art. Terry Gilliam creates an amazing world where he comments that he himself got lost within the time constructs of the film. The brilliance of the film is how easy time is visible within film. The new generation of viewers who go to see Hollywood movies watch linear stories and cannot get used to the fact of how beginning, middle and end can me skewed. People think once a story is non-linear it becomes in intellectual movie. Anyone can understand this movie very simply, I've heard too many complaints about how hard it is to follow the story and Brad Pitt's insanity (which I thought was amazing step in his acting career) . Gilliam blends Hitchcock style shots and combines it with the science fiction genre. Gilliam knows how to play with the mind of the viewer which made Hitchcock brilliant. When you get the viewer conflicted you spark more and more interest and your intrigued by every character. More people have to watch this movie!
