some things are totally retarded about this movie!


-You dont jerk on the >zoom< ring of an auto-focus camera as if it were the focusing ring. Especially when the actual ring is visibly jerkin automatically.

-you don't add random people who can't even act to the plot (Keri Russell, Katie Armstrong) for the LULZ. by that you would also eliminate the embarresing camera thing. Seriously. what did she add to the movie (beside minutes)?

-a movie is meant to be a bit more that random shots stick to each other. it either has to go chronologically, or it has to be sorted in some way. it you are totally avant-gard you could do it backwards like memento. but random is BAD. and it's even worse when you interrupt it by putting useless shots from Keri Russel in between.

-i'm quite sure that this movie's point of view about those two people are shallow. and it's utterly retarded to say the movie is based on whatever. and trying to add actual but trivial facts (like the one dude being unable to bite off the dudes thing and had to cut it off with a knife, and the thing being not quite chewable after it was cooked) makes you look even more retarded.

this movie was a waste of time and it has no artistic or otherwise value what so ever. just some people trying to make some money at the expense of some very disturbed folks.

P.S: I totally have to admit that Thomas Huber played his role outstandingly.

im pretty sure people can do whatever they want when it comes to film-making,
there isn't a set of "rules" for creativity of any shape or form.

and i mean, have you seen eternal sunshine of the spotless mind? its a great film and it blows your 'chronological order' theory out the window.

What hurts the most is probably the last sentence - too bad he hasn't got a better background for that truly remarkable performance.
