Most Confusing Film to Date

Rating: 5/10 (10 November 2009)

American culture has changed significantly throughout the decades.What was once a peaceful society where families were living in nice houses and a clean, safe neighborhood where drug overdoses, robberies,gangs, and murders weren't a concern.Today,in times of recession or desire,people will find other ways of obtaining money and valuable items,and giving illegal drugs to obsessive users through the use of robbery,trading, and murder. It is not necessary to harm other people for no reason, as a result of greed or desire. It's important to redeem yourself from a life of crime and focus on turning yourself around into a whole new good direction into doing the right things in life.
Although the acting was portrayed well throughout the film by Willis, Travolta, Jackson, and Thurman,and the use of the cinematography and lighting was excellent,the screenplay written for this movie was horrible!! The plot duration and the screen time dragged on and on throughout the movie,giving the film the feeling that it's never going to end in most scenes. The juxtaposition of the present and past alternative plot twists were confusing to follow and it would have been better if the plot flowed through smoothly through one storyline. The offensive language in the film was overused too much in every scene.
The use of the cinematography was excellent. The cinematographer's use of natural and non-naturalistic lighting, contrast, and shadows were used well in the indoor scenes. The cinematographer's use of the close ups, crane shots, long takes, dolly shots were all used to create suspense, and make the viewers wonder what's going to happen to the major characters in the film.
