Interesting Ideas

Rating: 10/10 (5 August 2004)

The concept of this movie is very interesting. Especially as technology, culture clash, and economics complicate and infringe on people's lives. At one time or another we all wish that our lives were simpler. If only we could get back to the basics. Get back to the things that are important. This movie takes that idea to a new level while adding some unexpected twists along the way. Also, I have not seen such a wonderful cast in a long time. The actors weren't chosen for their name, but for their skill. Bryce Dallas Howard and Joaquin Phoenix were amazing in their roles. A superb film by one of todays better movie makers. Refreshing to have an alternative to the typical "Hollywood" films.
