amazing

Rating: 9/10 (19 January 2006)

I thought this movie was terrific, and am surprised by the viewers out here for their lack of enthusiasm in this movie by way of the rating. Ever since I saw this movie in previews i always thought it looked interesting, and sure enough it was. Amazing directing and acting, a little bit too long i must say, they could have cut down the script by about a half hour(it seemed a little bit delayed in certain scenes in terms of action), but amazing script. Truly laden with Jungian imagery such as the lucid dreaming, and the masks representing the lack of identity. Movies like this are why i watch them in the first place. I'll count this one in the annals of such greats as mulholland dr. or lost highway, or donnie darko(different yet still the same in terms of depth). The ending, even though it was a little bit transparent, and the writing tending to reveal the plot, still didn't faze me. Some movies are just great like that.
