This is definitely the worst movie ever, it's total BS, and very very very stupid. It's so unbelievably stupid, it sucks. I can't believe someone would be so cruel to make such a movie to torture people, it is an insult to people's intelligence. I kept myself from giving it up in the middle just want to finish it so that I can be sure that I'm not wrong about my comment, guess what, this time it didn't disappoint me by convincing me that it is very very very foolish. I even felt damaged after such a movie. On the other hand, it is a different experience, you know, to know the best and also the worst, it's eye-opening experience. I just saw In Bruges the night before last, it is stunningly good, that is a real movie, and this is total *.
It reminds me of Keanu Reeves in My Private Idaho, but this is a European version which is of course more "humane" and very "european". The style is like "the Stream of Consciousness", the shooting of the movie seems like the director's casual flowing of ideas, which is not very much arranged, anyway, I like anything that is off the track and extraordinary. Lastly, the gist the movie tries to unveil is that life is a circle, it repeat itself all the way. Seems like the director understand the Chinese philosophy- Taoism, which said that everything is developing is its own track, which is a circle. I think the end of the movie is very meaningful, though it's the father's turn to leave the rich home to look for his own dream, it is clear that unlike his son, his must be a successful escaping. I appreciate the regular using of the rainy weather in the movie. I just love everything about the movie.
