A carefully crafted pointless pretentious film

Rating: 5/10 (21 March 2007)

Shantih! Shantih! Many hints but no development! UK beware of your arbeit macht frei tendencies which are artfully represented in a pointless, meaningless, waste of time.
Pay attention!!! you could all become terrible nazi! Thank you Cuaron and Sexton for n-th clichéd representation of an Italian, it's really really a powerful symbol. A powerful symbol of what happens to a film when you put together a full boatload of clichés and you try to pass them as an intelligent, elegant, effective metaphor.
I especially liked the name of the boat. Maybe you should have underlined it on the side of the boat, and put some neon-flashing arrows pointing at it, so that we - your mindless ignorant moviegoers - could better grasp the full potency of your enlightened message.
Shantih! Shantih!
