Finially...A movie made for people who love using their brain

Rating: Null/10 (30 April 2003)

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Finially, Finially, Finially. A movie that got my attention and made me watch over again. Now before I continue, this isnt a normal review of this movie. This movie has plenty of them. What I am writting is what this movie means and why nobody fully understands. Ive read the reviews and ive seen people think the murders at the hotel actually happend, ive seen people try to sound smart and figure the plot out and up until this point nobody has. This movie makes you think, ALOT. You can just watch it, go home and think about it for a few and get it. This movie is filled with twist that no other movie has ever done before. If ya didnt like this movie, then please, go back to watchin Rambo movies, or Screams, or Terminator, cause none of those makes you think.
Today, it seems its all about crazy stunts, fast action paced movies, and leave you with nothing to think about. What this movie did was show you that a masterpiece can be made while movies like Basic with huge twist and crappy plots, or Life of David Gale, where they get you, but by the end its done, you know you got tricked it was a huge twist and the movie is over. This movie makes you think and talk. It took me a few hours to figure it out, what this movie really meant, and how this movie was made. Im going to throw discuss three movies I consider classics and why they are. And in turn compare them to this movie.
1)Silence of the Lambs. Awesome movie. This movie was awesome cause it wasnt your average killer will kill, cop will catch him and thats it. Silence of the Lambs introduced a whole new concept. A killer helping a cop catch a killer. It was slow paced. Every step Claurice took, you took with her. You wanted to piece together the clues Hannibal gave before she did. And chances are you didnt and was left sayin DAMN DUH I KNEW THAT. And by the end your mouth was watering for a sequal.
2)Memento. This movie was a classic cause it was backwards to front. Nothing typical about this movie at all. Movies have tried to change it up some, with Pulp Fiction being the most popular. But never has a film tried to do it in total revearse and it work. Well it worked. Total Classic.

3)Wild Things. Take away the sex scene the smut and everything else and youve got a good movie. Of course the theme of the movie was as simple as can be. Greed. And in this movie greed conquers it all, but it was also with twist and turns and it left you with the feeling of "damn, now I gotta watch again just to half a55 understand it". It was filled with a good cast that did an excellent job.
Now back to Identity. In a way Identity had a little bit of all these classics in them. But what Identity conquered what many films failed was it did a complete 180 x 100. Most films in the trailers put the good parts so you go see them. Most films leave out a few twist so you are suprised and leave the theater happy ya spent the 8 bucks. Not this film. This film made ya want to leave the theater not happy cause ya spend 8 bucks, but mad ya didnt do it sooner. Mad cause the DVD isnt out yet to rewatch it over and over and figure out what exactally made this movie so bad or good, or a classic. The movie was a classic on many parts. But below is where I will explain what the movie meant and what it was tryin to show the people who watched it. The below part contains spoilers so dont read unless youve seen the movie.

This is what this movie meant. A guy. An insane guy who has multiple personalities. If youve ever studied them, you know why this movie was so awesome. When you have multiple personalities, you dont know you have them. But they know about you, and of the other personalites. Confusing in itself, and this is a real disease. So take that and youve got yourself an awesome plot. So anyways, if you listend to the dialouge real carefully you'll know the docter brought out the top 10 personalities. The whole case against the judge was one of the personalites killed the 4 people not him. So if they could prove that, then he goes to the nuthouse instead of being put to death. So what the doc did was come up with an idea. How can we find out what personality it was that killed the 4 people?. So he drugged him and basicially made a movie inside the fat guy head. Now if your confused already, its ok. Put it this way. When a movie is announced they get a bunch of people they want to play a part. For instance. Selena had 10,000 girls plus audition for Selena. Jenifer Lopez won. Same thing here. The fat guy could have had 20, 30, 50, 1000 personalities, who knows. But what the docter did was eliminate them to 10. 10 of the personalities most likely to have committed the crimes. If ya notice during the movie when the two fugitives killed the cop, that cop was a personality. He was just eliminated from the list, thats all. So now youve got ten personalites left. Hotel, the scene where the showdown will occur. One by one the personalities are killed out, leaving less and less for the doctor to presume is the killing personality. When its down to Cusack, Amanda, and the "Cop" you think one of those are it. But as you know none of those were the killer. The kid was. The Kid personality tricked the fat guy. The killing personality hid as something nobody would expect it to be. A killer. A kid? no way. So the doctor and the fat guy thinks the killer is the "cop" but it isnt. So in the end the kid kills Amanda Peet and the kids personality comes out durning the bus ride where the fat guy kills his doctor and the driver. Awesome twist huh? It went from being an ordinary who done it, to a man who has multiple personalites, to a doctor who has drugged his patient to find out which personality is the killer, to a personality actually tricking the person who carries him. This movie is a top 10 best ever if you understood it. If ya followed what they gave ya. If not, the it would be pretty bad for you. If youve seen it once, see it again. if ya hated it, see it again. if ya still hate it, Im so sorry for you. If ya loved it be sure ya loved it for the right reasons.
Just whatever ya do, give this movie a chance. otherwise your letting a very good movie go to waste.
