Pleasing

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2012)

What the film does so brilliantly is that it gets its central message out there: a unique and contemporary alternate definition of life. This movie really takes a chance with people's ideas and beliefs about our existence, which is one of the most ambitious questions of all. To do this, and entertain the audience, is a masterpiece.
Although the movie ends up biting more than it can chew (referring to the novel), I'm glad it was made to interest people in the novel, and the central idea of the story itself: a very powerful examination of the meaning of our lives.
I think any movie that attempts to put out a revolutionary look at life cannot be pretentious, but courageous.
p.s. Check out the soundtrack- it is remarkable.
