thinking about it all day.

Rating: 8/10 (22 November 2006)

Spoiler alert.
When the movie ended, I was somewhat disappointed. I was really anticipating this movie. I guess it wasn't what i thought it was going to be. I do this all the time with music. I think an upcoming album is going to be amazing and I have an idea of what i want it to sound like and then when i actually hear it, its different and im not sure if i like it. this movie was somewhat the same. I want to see it again, and i probably will tomorrow since it was only 3 bones at my local theater. It is quite amazing how aronofsky tied it all together. The first thing that bothered me was that her story was somewhat short. Like how was hugh supposed to finish it. Then i realized that him dying at the fountain of youth was exactly how he died in the spaceship, one with his wife. I was confused when she kept whispering "finish it" until i realized she meant "write the last chapter." I really liked the idea that they would live forever, but in death. And once he accepted it, all was well. People don't like how it was tied together, but honestly, how would you have done it? Could you have thought of this plot line? I hate how people criticize movies and say "it sucks" when they are usually just some bum that sits on these messageboards. You know what, get off your ass and go make a movie. Go write a better movie with a more interesting plot line. I bet you couldn't make a better movie that legally blond 2.
The point is, is that this is a breakthrough film. It challenges thought, and is done in a beautiful way. I think it is a great follow up to his other films, and was an extremely risky move as a director. Cant wait till the next film.
