This movie changed me

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2011)

I actually feel quite sick when I think back at the times before I had seen this movie and I also feel sick at the fact that I had not seen this earlier. I saw this movie in August 2010, nine years after the release date of the movie. I had no idea what it was about, no idea what I was getting into, I simply wrote down a list of moves I had to see and this one happened to be first on the list. I was expecting your simple modern day drama about an upset teen with a love interest. Little did I know what I was about to embark on. This movie has it all. Hallucinations, Time Travel, Comedy, Horror, Romance you name it. The characters are so deep and interesting, it makes me sad that I will never see a better movie. Richard Kelly (director) obviously reviewed every scene thoroughly and did not make one loophole, mistake or anything for the audience to complain about. I watched the directors cut first and I would stress others do so also, but I don't think the ending effect of the movie differs between editions. 6 months onwards from seeing this movie, I must have watched it 12 times, I am constantly quoting this movie subconsciously and thinking about making other similar movies. This truly has inspired me to become a filmmaker and with my commitment to Sparkle Motion let's hope I do so. Ending result : See this movie, if it's the last thing you do I don't care.
