There is a plot!!!

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2003)

After reading circa 100 comments on 2001 I just couldn't stand it and had to speak my mind.
To all of you b*****ds who say this movie has no plot. What were you doing while watching it? Eating, talking on the phone, listening to Britney Spears' latest masterpiece? There is a plot!!!! You just have to pay a little bit of attention and have intelligence of a flower pot at least (thus excluding Britney's and J.Lo fans). It won't be written on the screen with flaming letters, you have to kind of think (it's what your parents apparently didn't do while they "created" you).
Another group are those who claim that it was boring, the scenes were too long, no dialogues. If you are accustomed to MTV like films, with scenes changing faster than Beckham's haircut then I can't help you. There are probably some mental health institutions in your country. The scenes are long and left without dialogues to make you think, analyse, help you grasp the questions it asks, or just for sheer pleasure of watching a beautiful image. You do take pleasure in watching something beautiful, don't you. Believe me it's worth paying attention to what you watch not only when you see Seagal breaking somebody's arm, silicon breast or when the characters use the F word as a comma.
And finally the guys who say that the "monkey part" was stupid and totaly useless. It's the downfall of mankind. Stick to Star Wars and don't comment on real art. It's like saying that the guitar riff in "Satisfaction" is useless (F***ing Britney again).
