HOLY EFF. Annoying. (Spoilers)

Someone please explain this movie to me because I absolutely hated it. What the hell even happened? He hated his experience so why is there footage of him five years later saying he loved it. Blackmail? How does the wife and kid and everyone else get into it then? And how did Zack and them know that the wife wouldn't even be home when they were at Kyle's house and she was on her way home from swim practice. I feel like I'm missing a big part of the picture and its pissing me off so much because none of this movie makes sense (to me right now at least) please help

It's satire, I think. I hope. I thought it was hilarious

One of the worst I've ever seen, a complete nonsensical waste of time. I kept thinking it would eventually make some sense, but it never did. A garbage film.

Yeah this movie was absolutely terrible. It didn't make sense at all....was it a satire about Scientology?

I'm so glad I wasn't alone in my opinion! Thanks! Ha

Hmm. No one seems to understand the movie the way I did, and I really enjoyed it. I was actually really surprised by the poor reviews!

I saw someone compare it as a poor man's The Game, but the game was a complete predictable let down, where as this had me on the edge on my seat the whole time.

The message I got at the end of it, is that Kyle and everyone is convinced Rebirth is an experience that changes your life and makes you a better person, but really they don't realise they just left one cage and entered another.

The people at rebirth, particularly Zack, are brainwashed and conditioned to think a certain way, and believe they're above others and they should be the same. To the point that they're willing to go as far as psychologically torture someone.

It's an exaggeration of cults and religions, most likely satirising Scientology, but the point I saw is that these people aren't as free as anyone else who live without religion or a focussed lifestyle. It's all the same *beep* with a different label.

Kyle was set free from one cage by being forced into another. It's not revelation, it's delusion.

Someone asked why Kyle, 5 years later, was now apart of it. I think for the purpose of saving time, he eventually came around. He had been warn down and broken so much, willing to do anything they wanted, he became brainwashed.

That's just my interpretation of it. I really enjoyed this movie and I'm happy with what I took from it. What more can I ask for?

Besides the message, it was beautifully shot and acted. And sure there were some frustrating scenes, but I felt that was just all a part of it. We're supposed to feel Kyle's frustration. He is the "every man". The film is trying to make you as confused, afraid, annoyed and uncomfortable as he is.

But of course, to each his own.

I barely made it to the end of the movie, but I hung in there. I thought it was a parody of those pyramid schemes with all of the "natural" Rebirth products that everyone had in their homes: "They sell themselves!"

I thought the acting was excellent and the production values, too, but I didn't enjoy it much.
