Immersive

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2004)

Having seen this movie for the first time, I must say I was totally immersed in it. I felt as though I was there, with the characters experiencing what they were experiencing. This feeling appears to be a main driving point of the film. To get you to relate to it and feel what the characters are feeling. In that regard, it was very well done.
It seems many of the things that some find boring about the film are the exact things that link it to people who really enjoy it. A lot of time is used in setting up the feeling of the characters so as to explain the actions of the characters. I found this engrossing and enjoyable.
This film is very much a thinking persons film. Read between the lines, let yourself feel the way the characters feel and you to will be left thinking about your own life and how it relates.
Probably some of the best work to come out of Hollywood in quite some time.
