Lol I watched this film with my mates last year and we couldn't stop laughing.

I...am an enchanter. There are some who call me...Tim.

I guess you love movies like "independence day" and "meet the parents" =)

Well, Mr. Enchanter (NOT!!), we find YOU hilarious. Obviously the symbolism was beyond the capacity of your pea-brain, the beauty was beyond what you (with blinded eyes) could see, and the story was just way too confusing to you. This is a story of many complex issues and Mr. Ripley did an excellent job with the script, filming and casting. Finding Nemo sounds more up your alley. Now...go rent it now!!

Hmmmm, why does laughing at the film mean that I didn't understand it? please explain oh wise one.

If you see me comin' you had better run, run, run, from Dearg Doom.

It takes a bit of bravery to be pretentious, I think. Art wouldn't get pushed forward if artists didn't risk pretentiousness. That doesn't mean they're always successful, but so what? If Quentin Tarantino got a little pretentious he might make a film that people will want to watch in 20 or 30 years.

I find YOU absurd. This is not a great movie. This is an average movie with above average pretensions.

Methinks what people are failing to grasp, is the fact that you can understand a deep, heavy duty, psychological film like this one, yet still find it absolutely hilarious. Yes there is deep symbolism regarding the "philisofical [sic] ramifications" but a man satanically wanking with barb wire around his chest is just too damn funny. For the record I did enjoy Finding Nemo.

There is nothing 'deep' or 'moving' about this ridiculous film. Somebody is laughing at all of these idiots foaming up and searching for hidden meanings and nuances in a glittery converse sneaker. The only rationale I can find for anyone even putting this stinker on video is that someone needed a big fat bomb for tax purposes.
I was ROBBED of the $2.00 I spent on it from the dump bin but mostly I was ROBBED of the time I invested in watching it.

What is a "cracker film?"
Raise your hand if you're surprised that the OP enjoyed Finding Nemo. Don't get me wrong; I love it, too...I watch it with my grankids. I'd bet, though, that the OP watches it alone...and has to take notes to keep up.
