Is it a comedy?

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2000)

This movie is really good, but I must ask myself if this is really a comedy. Sure, it made me laugh sometimes, but most movies do that. I rather think of it as a sad drama about human life. The characters are searching for two things: 1. Eternal life 2. Being somebody else
So this movie somehow shows us that most people aren't happy with their lives, in this movie they can be somebody else, but how about real life? This movie is somewhat to pessimistic in the relation to real life solutions of such problems, it just gives us a non-existing solution. This is clearly not a comedy for me, but a good movie though.
