Many solutions, one conclusion.

Rating: Null/10 (21 December 2001)

***Allusions to Spoilers***
Whatever scenario you choose to explain the plot of this movie; whether you take the whole thing literally and feel David truly was frozen in ice for 150 years, or on the opposite extreme you think the ENTIRE movie was a dream and David never left his warm bed with Julie, or you assert his fantasy started on Sophia's couch, or in the gutter outside Sophia's apartment, or anywhere else, the protagonist comes to the same conclusion:
I want to live a real life.
So whether you're a pessimist, an optimist, a romantic, a existentialist, a quantum physics fanatic, a spiritualist or just a movie fan - if you give this movie a chance, there is something there for you, and you may feel a glimmer of what David felt:
I want to live a real life.
I think that is all the producers could have hoped for.
For those of you that can't give this wonderful film a fair shake because it dares to take you outside of your frightfully contracted safety zones - it's your loss. Maybe there will be a voice on YOUR alarm clock someday, but you'll probably sleep right through it because you were up late watching the latest mass-marketed sludge pulled from the "new release" shelf at Blockbuster.
