Dusky Paradise

What a thought-provoking little movie. It is slow and boring for the most part, but the imagery, the scenery and the mood are haunting. Slow and boring are okay with me - I feel cheated for other reasons.

So many movies end today without answering many questions, Novels are the same. As an avid movie watcher and reader, I think that the producers, directors and authors owe us so much more. After all, we are their customers. We invest hours of consuming their products. Can't we have an old fashioned Hollywood ending once in awhile? Can't we have resolutions to the issues that they throw at us?

I'm sure that there is some "code of cool" that says it is okay to leave your audience hanging. I don't buy it.
