More understandable now that I'm older.

Rating: 9/10 (20 April 2013)

I first saw this movie for a Film as Literature class in high school, years ago, but had since forgotten anything that had been pointed out to me at the time. So it was still exciting to watch it again. I knew what to expect overall, but now I was able to analyze everything in between. I just had an overall better understanding of it, being older and having almost finished college myself. So now I can appreciate Ben's thoughts and feelings as a character. Personality wise, Ben is just really awkward. Which I find is frustratingly hilarious. At certain parts I just felt he was being stupid and that someone needed to really tell him so, but he lacked friends. He was very detached from his parents, so he really had no guidance from anyone. He was just by himself in all of his rather bad decisions. I found the movie to be a little cryptic at times, but it was horribly bad. I liked how some scenes went in and out of each other, probably to make the viewer feel like Ben. Drifting through a routine with not much thought, then being disturbed by an outsider. The music went along great with everything as well.
