A movie for those with patience and a DEEP love of movies...

Rating: 7/10 (28 April 1999)

This is not a movie for the impatient or the weak of stomach. It is slow paced, and dragged down by the cameo appearances of many stars. There is no way to really summarize it; it's about a young man whose search for truth and meaning in life elude him til the very end. I saw at least ten people walk out on this movie in the first thirty minutes, and my own sister asked me if we were in the right theater...I enjoyed the movie, but the meaning of the movie eluded me as well til the very end. It's a serious drama with almost no comic relief, but despite its many drawbacks, it is still powerful enough that those of us who remained to watch it all the way through were silent at the end, tears streaming. I've never left a theater with a quieter group of people. This movie will make you think...if you can stay awake long enough to see it all the way through.
