this movie is a classic...ten years from now.

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2006)

ladies and gentleman...it's opening night and i have just seen my new second favorite movie (nothing will ever top the life change that was "american beauty" for me). i won't go in to detail. i personally believe (imo!!) that it takes a deep person to appreciate this experience. i went to see it with 3 friends who laughed at the movie and didn't view it as the art that it is. their personal favorite part for instance was the part where "the load shot out of the tree" (if you've seen the movie you will know what i mean). anyway, this movie is 2001: a space odyssey on a much grander scale. it's beautiful throughout. i am actually going to see it by myself tomorrow (thanksgiving) to get a better grasp on my feelings toward it....i still need to let it sit longer....and i recommend reading the review on MTV.com that Kurt loder (of all people and websites) gave this film. i couldn't agree more with the last 3 lines. aronofsky laid his ass on the line for art this time around, and all though i think this will bomb in theaters because it was set up like a blockbuster and it is actually an expensive art house film, i think, like 2001, it will be a classic in ten years....i for one am already on the bandwagon.
