Slow, shoddy, and scattered movie
*spoilers*
I wanted to like this movie, I really did. And before you get defensive and start categorizing what kind of person I am, let me clear something up. I am not ADD/ADHD and I am not obsessed with gore/violence fests. I watched the whole movie from start to end and was left feeling incomplete. The ending was completely and totally anti-climatic. Why do we never find out the bride's story? Why was the movie focused on death, especially killing off the hero of the story (one of my pet peeves)? The death in this movie seemed so pointless. Why does the old man kill himself? A lot of it seems to happen with out rhyme or reason.
It's almost as if the film tries to be complex and deep, but somehow gets lost along the way. If there is any complexity in this film, I have failed to see it, or it simply does not exist. At least, you cannot see it without listening to a director's commentary or reading what the director was going for. I don't find it particularly fair to do that to an audience. So, I feel totally blindsided and not satisfied with the ending. There were simply way too many questions with out resolution.
