Fantastic movie, but requires some thought

Rating: Null/10 (28 February 2004)

I am amazed at the number of "bad" comments on here about the movie. I first saw it when it came out in theaters and have since seen it a few more times via rentals and cable. I will admit that if you are expecting a Hollywood movie where everything is given to you and you don't have to think, you will *not* understand this movie and give it a bad review. BUT, if you take some time to think about it, you will eventually see the genius of this fairly young director's work. If you are just looking at the surface and not the subtext, you will miss the entire point of the movie. I highly recommend it to anyone who has not seen it!
