A sad commentary on life

Rating: 6/10 (22 November 2000)

As I think back on what I saw, I can see why the movie won so many Oscars. Personally, I did not like the overall tone of the movie. I found it to be a depressing look at life today. If indeed the movie is a look at life today (and that certainly appears to be the case) it is a sad commentary on life. If we are so hung up on ourselves and in satisfying ourselves at the expense of other people, then we deserve what happens to everyone in this movie.
