A "Peripheral Film"

Rating: Null/10 (10 January 2002)

I just got back from seeing this movie.
The one unique quality of this film is that if you try to dissect it too much, the meaning will get farther and farther away.
It's a film to sort of just remember out of the corner of your brain where snippets of reason and meaning can sort of be seen.
There is a story here, but it's told in "Dream Time" where events aren't always in the order you are watching them in and some of them may not even exist out of someone's imagination and memories..
But the major thing I interpret is that the first half is the "Glamorized" version of Hollywood. Where old people smile in the back of limos and everyone talks to each other on a first-name basis. This is the hollywood that a lot of naive people dream about.
The second part is about the REAL hollywood....where lovers can change and then change back in a single kiss. Where hearts get stomped and the creative have to make compromises to people in big hats. And the people who go there dreaming about the idealized version of Hollywood find themselves tormented by their dreams never coming true with the fantasy still lingering, (and according to this film, escaping out of little boxes) and chasing them down until they go crazy and kill themselves.
