Good luck exploring the infinite abyss.

Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2005)

i have read thru the other reviews, quotes, etc. and i find it odd that the line in the movie that defines the theme has not even been mentioned yet, either in the quotes, trivia, or reviews. "good luck exploring the infinite abyss.... hey, you too".
these lines incorporate the plot A and plot B stories. plot A - the journey into a relationship with the natalie portman character, and plot B - the growth out of stoic indifference into actual emotions, good and bad (a metaphor .. "exploring the infinite abyss.") this movie is cleverly crafted, superbly written, and creative. the scenes are a continual surprise (such as in the hotel basement). 10 out of 10. excellent movie.
