I love that movie!!!
the songs are great
the characters are real and fantasy breaks into reality in many scenes.
I had many lucid dreams about this movie,watched it about 6 times,somehow I find it poetic,it's a celebration of useless yet fascinating theories of time travel.I think the meaning is that choices determine alternate realites which coexist in a fucked up brain, and when compared to reality they mean to be an excape from an awful situation the main character is not able to turn to his own good.
It's depressing and dark,yet comforting,and the music is great!
overall nothing special,but felt different from anything I'd seen before
to all they're own taste!

yes little boys who cry and go through time travels,it's an example of coping with problems in a childish way,blaming fucked up society for it,selfishness...reminds me of drug addiction

I thought it was ok. People slag on it because it got incredibly hyped up at first. Well, that, and a great deal of people praised it without even understanding what the hell was going on.

A lot of the movie goes unexplained until you look up the book that the old lady wrote. It's online. Once you read it, it all falls into place. Why they thought that was a good idea, I have no clue.

Its worth it. its a pseudo-art film.

Better than most of the hollywood flicks they got out there. Defintely different.

If you dont get it, google the Philosophy of Time Travel and it will explain the events of the movie, or watch the directors cut which features texts that help you understand the movie. Great fucking movie in my opinion.  :killerrabbit:

One of goals of art (besides being an outlet for the artist) is to communicate with the viewer....to invoke emotion.

Don't all movies serve no other purpose than to make money? Sure to entertain, but no one makes movies for free....they all want money.

I can't believe some of the replies here.

So what if he cries, that makes him a "little boy". Thats ridiculous. Crying is part of the human experience or are some of us robots? Would you not cry at any age if someone close to you died?

I thought the movie was about looking at things in a different perspective, explaining that things aren't what they seem.

I really enjoyed it.
