There really are directors that know some people like to think.

This is one of my favorite movies. And it was such a relief that I didn't just have to sit through a movie that handed everything to you. It's so fun to figure things out on my own, I love movies like this. It didn't really hit me as a really great movie (in my opinion) while watching it because the style wasn't what I usually fall in love with (Like Tim Burton's movies, or From Hell, the dark 18th/19th century stuff). Immediately after watching it I was completely lost. And then I realized one key thing, one simple word that I thought about but then forgot, and everything suddenly fell into place. I was so grateful for the ending *not* being one of those that explain everything in 30 seconds. It gives you the story and you have to figure out what it means and what happened. It kind of puts you in the same position as the character in the movie who also has to figure it out.
