less than meets the eye (spoilers)

Rating: 5/10 (8 April 2003)

This film is even more pretentious than most people realize. What's Cruise yelling when he's asleep? "L. E.!" (interpreted at "Elly!"). In two of the gospels, Jesus's last words were "Eli, Eli, lamma sabachthani?" (My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?)
So what happens to Cruise at the end of the film? He's being resurrected. After calling "My God!" (L.E.)
But all the clever allusions in this film (Citizen Dildo? Give me a break.) don't add up to a thought provoking movie.
For people who wonder how much was supposed to be "real": The whole thing was a movie. Just enjoy it.
