A movie I found very hard to follow and understand. The jumping around and make-up was distracting to me. I say C+

Rating: 5/10 (8 May 2013)

"Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future." This is usually the part where I give a little synopsis of what the movie is about before I give my opinion. The problem with this one is that I don't think I'm smart enough to tell you what the movie is about, mainly because I'm not 100% sure. I do know it's about how the life of one person affects others throughout time, but after that I don't know what to say. I'm sure many will figure it out and think I'm dumb for not catching on though. As far as what I thought about it...to me there was just too much of everything. The movie is basically little vignettes of characters that are supposedly connected to the others but it jumps around so much its hard to follow. Most movies like this have one main plot line they follow and branch off of that...this one just put them all together and I had a hard time following. The other big distraction was the make-up. I do like the way they had the same actors in each section to show their point but the whole time I was thinking...I think that's Hugh Grant, or is that Agent Smith? It seemed to take me out of the movie. It may seem like I'm bashing this movie but the truth is I couldn't follow it enough to form a real opinion. I will admit that by the end I thought I was following it a little better but this is one I am not smart enough for. Overall, to me this is another movie where the writers and directors try to prove they are artsy and smarter then the audience...congratulations...you win. I give it a C+
