It is only a recording...

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2003)

This movie is more of experimental cinema than your normal American movie.
The movie plays like suspense or mystery but 2 hours into the movie when a box is opened the females change characters and the movie continues as if nothing happened at all.
There is also a cowboy wandering through the scenes changing the flow of action and a blackened bum who harkens death and Hollywood gangsters.
It's like an abstract painting. It has no other meaning then what you give to it yourself.
Strange but entertaining...
Ok
If you cannot stand a world without order, and cannot sleep unless the movie has reason, then just believe that the whole movie is one half real and half delusion of Naomi Watts character Diane who cannot deal with her life. It may not explain everything but it's my best thoughts on the movie. Remember as the man said on the stage....it's only a recording...
