It's a movie only a narcissist could love. You can have it.

Rating: Null/10 (17 July 2003)

My God, there are a lot of comments about this movie. And though I felt like there was no reason to post anything about it because of the high number and the fact that no one would likely read it, I realized that if I took that attitude, George Bush would get re-elected easily. So, with that in mind, I absolutely hated this movie. It's like a movie made for people with short attention spans. It's for people who just want everything to be FABULOUS. They can't stomach anything related to character development or any meaning. They just want to be "dazzled". This movie is NOT dazzling. The director, Baz whatever...seems to not trust a shot that lasts longer that 10 seconds. He's so busy moving his camera around and shoving "shots" in our faces that he gives the viewer no time to take anything in. The shame is that there are some images that I would have liked him to dwell on longer. It's a movie that MIGHT have worked for me if I was high on something but as it is, it made me feel depressed because of it's shallowness and my knowledge that a LOT of people were going to make a more out of this than it deserved. People see movies like this and are so taken with "The Look" that they immediately think "well, it's so great looking and moves so fast that no slob could've made it". Well, it's the old adage that junk can be made to look like art. I actually feel sorry for people who love this kind of movie. They're probably as shallow as the movie. It's a movie only a narcissist could love. You can have it.
