Film made as Artwork and Silly Message

Rating: 1/10 (1 May 2010)

As an artist, I appreciate all kinds of art. However, when people create movies with the idea that it's some massive artwork, I don't usually like it. I don't watch movies for artwork. If I was looking for artwork, I'd go to a museum, look up beautiful artwork on the internet, or draw/paint myself. Movies cannot be made into art. Movies are pictures in motion and sound, we usually use it as a medium to tell a story.
They director filmed it in black and white. Even though the movie looks like it takes place between 1980-1990 (while it's filmed in 1998). Why does the director do this? To make sure we can't follow everything and strain out eyes, there is no other reason. Sure photographers make black and white pictures, but only because making something black and white can have several meanings, but this doesn't happen with movies.
There is also a message in this movie. A message I draw is "Ignorance is Bliss" and "Don't be obsessed with something, you might find it everywhere." I like the second message, but I don't like the first. The other thing is, the guy in the movie goes insane, but he was already insane from the beginning. His obsession didn't cause that.
The movie felt like a giant waste of time. And I want to save you your time by telling you not to watch this.
