Look closer...and see how you've been duped

Rating: 1/10 (1 January 2005)

I've got to hand it to the person who came up with the "Look closer" tag line. It was an absolutely brilliant move - one of the greatest scams perpetrated on a gullible public since the creation of the Ponzi Scheme.
Why do I say this? Because the hubbub over this film very much reminds me of "The Emperor's New Clothes", with multitudes saying how wonderful the new clothes look, but no one admitting to seeing nothing, for fear of being regarded as "stupid".
And that's exactly what's going on with all the nonsensical critical acclaim for this film. Want proof? Just "look closer" at the comments in this board. Over and over again, people will heap praises on this film. But do you notice something? Their interpretations are never the same! They're all seeing something different. Just like the Emperor's invisible clothes, there are hundreds of reasons given as to why this is a wonderful film, but the only thing consistent about those who praise it is their conviction and attitude that anyone who doesn't see the "beauty" of this film is "dumb".
Look closer? WHAT FOR? There's nothing to see! Gee, it feels great to be ignorant.
(A note to all those who will be enraged by what I am saying here: Rather than attack me, I want you to tell me EXACTLY why this is such a good film. I will later post all of the many, many interpretations I receive, which will just further prove my point.)
