An Accurate Reflection of the Human Condition

Rating: 8/10 (9 April 2007)

The depiction of human depravity at its worse, this film affronts one with four characters, so horribly life-like, who continuously slip on an unromantic landslide. This film practically portrays what occurs when a group of individuals continue to pursue their own interests, defeating any form of social altruism whatsoever. One may be disgusted by the unveiled qualities of man and woman in this film, but in reality the movie is really just a illustration of humanity in pursuit of its most natural inclinations (the pursuit of the most 'apparent good' over and over again). What may disgust people isn't the choices these four characters make, but the reflection of some or all of the stories in the film within one's own life. Our attempt to shroud our past mistakes in the romantic scheme of things is shattered with 108 minutes of pure self-interest.
