An epic of what the pain of trying to be something great in this world can really feel like.

Rating: 3/10 (20 July 2014)

Inside Llewyn Davis was for a fact, the most boring and uninteresting movie I have ever watched. The movie starts off with a bit of a hook, showing us the sad existence of a starving, couch surfing artist. But after the first 15 minutes it became incredibly difficult to set my smart-phone down. Nothing.... let me repeat, nothing of interest happens from here on out.
As time progresses, the movie grids to a halt. We start watching the grass grow as Llewyn comes to terms with the futility of his music career. There is even his lucky break, which he misses out on, foreshadowed as plain as day with no expert writing or development.
An orange cat's cameo tries to spice up the movie a few times throughout the movie (The three times I laughed in this movie had to do with the cat). And when Llewyn makes an attempt to head back to his normal career, he makes fun of his sick father and belittles his sister in front of his nephew. Oh yeah and through this cinematic lobotomy, Llewyn expresses what hes afraid of becoming if he leaves his glamorous life, to a real world career.
The rave reviews and the fact that this movie is receiving much acclaim has shown me how much politics are within the realm of Hollywood and its critics. This is the biggest disaster of my life, watching the Coen's epic of what the pain of trying to be something great in this world can really feel like. These are the kind of movies that make me want to put a gun to my head. (Not for real, but man this movie sucked)
The pathetic melancholy and sad, over played events of a dull life have been emphasized in this boring tale of how dreary life can look. So if that is your cup of tea, and you need to elevate yourself by finding grace in the viewing of others misery, please, watch this movie. After all, I have just had all worth while stories and epics I have viewed as of late, be shredded to pieces by this atrocity that some call a movie.
On the bright side I must admit the acting was A+ and the cinematography was very impressive. Every shot to me seemed to be cared for meticulously. It really did set the tone for the innate sadness and drudgery that lied ahead of every frame. But sadly, the screen play, the story, and the ending were just very badly designed and more plain than a box of macaroni and cheese.
For the meantime, I will eat an entire box of table salt in hopes I can re-stimulate the destroyed interest of my mind, body, and soul that have been removed from me in the operation of Inside Llewyn Davis.
