The darkness within us all.

Rating: 10/10 (24 October 2004)

I particularly liked the dark cynicism in this movie. The things that happened do not remind me of any other film (other than Butterfly Effect) and seem to be very original, and thus far more interesting. Though I wouldn't say it's my favourite film, it is a piece of work that enriches our society and reminds me that we aren't all drones following the same path till the end of our lives.
Even though one may claim that a happy or optimistic movie would be better, this movie takes a hard realistic standpoint on the fiction it is telling. Most popular and profit-driven movies that come out nowadays do not and are not worth the time it takes to watch them. Happy or sad, if it strikes a chord within me and makes me think, pulls me out of my depressing life for a time then I will sing its praise and have that much more courage to accomplish my dreams.
If you like to think more than you should, if you dwell upon pain and death, if you wish you were happy, this is a film for you.
