"so, exactly what happened here"

Rating: 1/10 (24 June 2003)

that was from a review i read about this movie, it perfectly sums it all up. what happened here? i watched this with a friend and we kept on thinking oh yeah, we totally got it figured out, then some random thing would happen and we'd be totally back at square one. the movie didn't even had a climactic ending, it just left us hanging with this feeling of being unfulfilled. if this movie is not supposed to make sense, then they did a wonderful job with it. i don't understand this new hollywood trend of making movies without a plot and then critics going crazy over them. i swear there's a conspiracy here, like the critics feel inadequate if they can't figure out the movie, so they make up some bs about it's significance using these big spiffy words, give it a perfect 4 stars, and then move on to the next surreal load of garbage.
