For me its on of these Films which spend so much time on "meaningful" pictures. It becomes just boring.
Also the character doesnt seem to make any progress in this movie. And to just show the Problem over and over explained from different characters and "meaningful" pictures its not enough for me to make a good movie.
Instead of trying to work on any development into any direction the film just freezes in the midst of the Probmlem and doesnt move anywhere from or with it.
The "solutions" are presented by Narrators or Cut-scenes from some documentary and come in some meta philosophical ways and are not in itself relevant to any of the story. And also dont get integrated into the story. they just stay above everything and thus have no meaning whatsoever. Also they offer little solution but are itself explaining the root cause of the "problem" from another perspective.
I really cant see why people enjoy these Films which only spin themself around the problem and fake to be meaningful when there is no debate or discussion of the problem, solutions or development.
6 stars for the cinematagrophic quality and dafoes acting
