I understand that this film is a classic of its time and often considered along with Starman or Halloween Carpenter's best by non-Carpenter fans, and I like it myself, but the novel deserves a film that would explore day to day challenges of an invisible man, the emotional investment and romantic angle that this film doesn't have, it is a perfect material for someone like Robert Zemeckis, to get us involved to feel, to cry and laugh. One of the biggest reasons I feel this film was not a bigger hit, because it is not emotionally involving and relatable enough, also as a comedy it's not funny enough, and as a thriller it's not thrilling enough, although the tone is absolutely masterful in its consistency, it has its own style. but its story is not involving enough emotionally, hence it needed a deeper more grounded approach with occasional comedic moments, in the way of Forest Gump or Back To The Future. I would love to see the novel filmed by someone who would not film it too seriously or realistic, but at the same time gave it depth, slower scenes that focus on Nick's internal battle, and the funny moements that would sometimes come out of it, plus exploring the theme of falling in love to the woman and being more real when invisible than when he was seen, the idea of love as a spiritual force deserved to be given further development. Making this film in the style of North By Northwest was a good idea, however the audience was allowed to emphasize with the main character there, the scenes were able to breathe and slow down to give the space for character building, we felt danger, we felt for Grant's character. Whereas this film is more theatrical in the style of Val Lewton or Roger Corman, the story also deserved an actor you relate to on a deeper level, Chevy Chase is great in this particular film, but if the script and the intention was to to make it more emotional, it had to have someone who seems like an average person who's naturally more vulnerable and sensitive in life, so that people can relate to him, certainly not someone like Stallone or Harrison Ford, but more like Andrew Garfield or Max Thieriot, people you could cry with and laugh with as well.

We know now that almost every single film in history has had some political agenda, a lot of times filmmakers have just not been aware they are psychologically influencing people how to be or see the world. This is something so admirable about these recent films that have managed to abandon the old paradigm, they are more self aware about themselves and the power of their beliefs they are spreading through actions, words or themes in their films, which is something I'm grateful to see in more and more films these days, because they're far more conducive to healthy human spirit and condition than ever before, especially when they used to be so unconscious.

What I love about this film is how for a change filmmakers are making mockery of gender or race stereotypes, especially in a film that that is largely removed from reality in terms of the genre or story. This is easily one of the best spy films of the last 2 decades, and certainly the best film this year so far. It just needs to find the right audience, many losers just go watching films only to end up feeling miserable, this is not for them, all it shows is just how they waste their life, it has nothing to do with the movie, be always mindful of that, as some of them probably are not.

Every single film in existence has some political agenda, by the fact of what beliefs filmmakers bring into the actions, words, themes or messages of their films, whether intentionally or not, such a world view of Charlie's Angels seems to be at odds with some people who seem to have an opposite political agenda, difference is they might be unconscious of it. It's indeed like the other extreme side, what they see in E.Banks is what they are themselves.

This film might be showing far more authenticity of people, less pretention and artificiality, despite the ridiculous action and story, the portrayal of some men and women is so dead on in this one, it's chilling. I love the acting, action, the mystery, the quirky fun of the whole thing is irresistible. Very good film. Easily one of the best spy action films of the last two decades.
