How great can a film be when the screenplay is completely lacking in credibility and coherency, is backed with a flawed, uninspiring and decadent symbolism, and tries to compensate for these deficiencies with violent hi-tech images of war and destruction?
The film is interesting in what it accidentally reveals of the inner life according to Hollywood and United States culture. |
All true. But the film took my breath away, and all that tired, insipid, over used symbology worked on me, even though I saw them coming from a mile away. Go figure.
