Whodunnit is no question

Rating: 6/10 (19 October 2003)

Alright. We all love curiousity in a movie, right? Maybe we don't like the term, or the concept or maybe the word itself because of conditional reasons but we al feel good while watching a movie if it makes you feel curious. So, here's an entertainment for all of those who watch movies. You will not be bored and you will have some good time. But. With SPOILERS included to exemplify. This movie lacks "meta-logic". Inside, it depends on psychological reasons and outside it's unacceptable. Unlike the Matrix which sets up perfect metacognition around the story-making us ask questions on the reality of the reality, Identity spoils the logic in itself. How many of those who watched the movie, really know if the Doctor really exists or not? Although the scarred personality of Eleven-people-in-a-body decides to kill the Doctor at the end of the end, can't that also be a just his imagination? If yes, what? If no, what? I have read the story of ten little niggers-And then there were none and it was a brilliant one which the movie openly and with gratitude accepts as its starting point or as its source of inspiration. But why did they need to add the psychology of a madman whose madness is questioned. Although the movie plays heavily on the story, with the fiveminuteflashbacks, the real things to be remembered are made forgotten by the movie which ends in both positive and negative reactions from the vidience. Positively, you keep forgetting your own guess which was possibly true for the sake of the new truth brought before your eyes which you accept as true info since that's the latest news in movie. e.g. Most should accept that they forgot about the possibility of the kid when they saw that Ed was brought in front of the Doctor and lawyers and the judge. Negatively, the movie lost track of the truth for the sake of the twists which may mean only one thing: This is a movie which tries to fool the fool to get recognition. SO American and so Americanishly reinforcing for consuming. If you liked the movie, it's no problem. If you hated it for my reasons, that means you are alert and you are not fooled by the rubbish which repeats itself because it makes people feel good that way. I am sorry to go far beyond the watched and the heard. But this is how things work. You make people seek the thrill of stupid reasoning because it makes a stupid movie an entertainment that way. Then you donot even need to realise that people lose their philosophy. This movie is bad. I will not add particular comments on the cast which were actually very very good. Avoid this kind of movies for they are like cigarettes.
A puff of smoke for leisure, but there is nothing in it.
