Impressive but hard pictures!
I must say that I find the view of most critics on this film a little to harsh.
Maybe you should take a step back and look around ... there are more then one view of things and if YOU don't agree with the "message of the movie" maybe your mind isn't able to bend enough (Remeber : Spoon in Matrix!) to accept a different view... The Movie doesn't show to many new things but it shows them in very deep visual subconscious ways. Well maybe I enjoyed the Movie more then most of you did but as an Opend-Minded person I can lean back and enjoy this kind of Picture.
No Doupt! It's intense and not good for a chilly popcorn evening watching movies with your partner or friends!
This Movie has it's moments... even if they could be see as the Sick insights of a Mass-Murder or the Anti-Christ-Visons of arabian Suicide-Bomber... or just the Visual-Vision of a 19-Year-Old. If you consider yourself a mentaly healthy person, that can take "strong" pictures, I would say give it try and look at it!
The Visuals and Sound Composing are great and have a good timing!
I consider it a Day-Dream of a Man-Searching-God-And-Finding-Empty-Space and a lot of the Story as Cruel-Subconscious-Monologs. Wake up after watching it and return to your shared "Reallity", with Bunuel (I love him) and David Lynch ruling the State of the Art.
This movie Ranks in the same Space as the "Creammaster Cycles" if you skip the spoken messages and the gore.
best regards.
