Interwoven Simplicity

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 2004)

This is your only spoiler warning...
Pros: Interesting structure: the creator figure places his personal world inside the one he has created. Weir waits until the end to get heavy-handed, saving us the boredom. Weir de-emphasizes the mystical/mythical/magical in favor of the old "man vs. system" cliche. Character exists in a world of cameras. Interesting parallel between literal and unreal cameras.
Cons: Obvious Vangelis wannabe music. Real person lives in false environment except everyone around him is in on the gag (hence "real") while he is manufactured by the environment (hence "fake"). The film is about the person on camera, not the camera itself.
