Dear Hollywood, please make better movies (like this one)

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2002)

I showed this movie to some friends. They showed it to more friends. That alone just shows how unusual and brilliant this film is. Something about this movie draws you in. Even impatient viewers who cannot stand philosophy in their cinema are drawn in by its humor and the bizarre, unique circumstances introduced. The style of this movie and the development of the story are unusual, yet somehow inviting. This movie didn't make me uncomfortable by throwing out cliche's or other recycled techniques or ideas. It also didn't try to be too weird just for the sake of being weird. And, most importantly, you are forced to think. And then you want to see it again. Great movie. Let's just hope director Richard Kelly is able to helm more projects in the future. I'm tired of Hollywood catering to a society it believes cannot think for itself anymore.
