Brilliant

Rating: 8/10 (25 March 2007)

Why was this film so badly received? Well if I could answer that question there'd be 9 stars falling from the sky and dissolving into an ocean of fire along with Danny Boyle, Leonardo Di Caprio & a life times supply of marijuana! Let me be brief...this film is brilliant; visually stimulating, intelligently written and heartbreakingly realised. The fact people need to be spoon fed a characters motives is typical of people going to a see a film, with the idea of escaping from the realities of their lives. It seems most people were hypnotised by the blue skies and olive skinned brunettes to actually understand what this film is trying to say? Either that or their spoilt lifestyles left them no time to reflect and empathise with the human condition...if this is the case then they shouldn't even bother gracing the shores of this cinematic masterpiece as there's plenty of holes in the sand to be filled.
If you have indeed enjoyed some life experience - good or bad, then i suggest you watch this film and get lost in its sheer, yet relative, surrealism.
