Sartre Could Have Written This

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2003)

The heavy existential themes run wild through here. The fact that it's well made and well acted with big names and a corny H-wood ending only detract. This is the #1 mainstream (mainstream = made for dummies) movie that speaks volumes to those on a deeper plane (Clockwork Orange is a distant #2). Takes about 10 to 20+ viewings to get it. I'm still not convinced anyone involved in making it knew that they produced the celluloid poster child for modern existentialism. Cut the goofy feel good(?) ending and it would be the Holy Grail.
