simply, this is a bad movie

Rating: 3/10 (15 June 2009)

Although it is not so simply to say "why". I can imagine, that many people used to read comments of critics about these "special" movies, begun to think "wow, how interesting, indeed!" After that, if they saw a similar, simplified movie, something like "Sophisticated movie for Dummies", they say "wow, at last we have understand what a good movie is!".
However this is a bad replacement for such movies, for example, "Amores Peros" or "Short Cuts". I didn't see "Magnolia", which is also pointed here.
The movie is flat at its extreme. Even worst, it is supposed not to be flat. Compared to the "the good guy and the bad one" it is a step toward improvement at glance, but I still prefer "the good and the bad" way, because it does not pretends to be more than a fairytale.
Why I've seen the movie? Well, a friend gave it to us, recommending. It is not polite to doubt the friends opinion, you know. Why I've seen the whole movie? Well I hoped that maybe it became better.. It became just worst, if just only slightly. Nevertheless as pictures sequence it was not bad. This is why I put my 3 stars on it.
The main problem was it has no substance, it was empty, it was laughable. I mean, it should be serious, it should touch you, but it was just laughable. I didn't know it has won 3 Oscars (otherwise I would not see it all. For me an Oscara is rather a sign that the film would not be my favorite). I was also shocked to see how many folk have given so much stars. What's a pity! To make such a crap just to be liked by many.
The theme has to be racism or something like that, and the main idea was maybe that nobody is really so bad, or so good, everyone has the background to act so, as (s)he acts. I'm sorry, but this is not something very new to nobody. Or am I wrong?
