Full Plot Details

Using his own terminology, Billy Pilgrim is "unstuck in time", which means he is moving between different points in his life uncontrollably, although he is aware of it at certain of those points as witnessed by the letter to the editor he writes to the Ilium Daily News about his situation. Primarily, he is moving between three general time periods and locations. The first is his stint as a GI during WWII, when, as a pacifist, he was acting as a Chaplain's assistant for his unit. This time is largely as a POW, where he was in Dresden the day of the bombing, spending it with among others an older compassionate GI named Edgar Derby, and a brash loudmouth GI named Paul Lazzaro. The second is his life as an optometrist in Ilium in upstate New York, eventually married to the wealthy and overbearing Valencia Merble, and having two offspring, Robert, who would spend his teen-aged years as a semi-delinquent, and Barbara, who would end up much like her mother. And the third is as an abductee on the planet Tralfamadore, along with his devoted dog Spot, and Hollywood starlet Montana Wildhack - who was not averse to taking off her clothes to further her career - the Tralfamadorians who have put them on display. The more time he spends on Tralfamadore, the more he understands the meaning of what is happening to him.

Movie Reviews

Sarasota Herald-Tribune - 9/10 by Christopher LloydThe film captures the essence of the book even while diverging from it. Vonnegut himself always claimed to be extremely pleased with it.
The Seattle Times - 9/10 by John HartlGeorge Roy Hill's very professional, very entertaining 1972 adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's time-traveling novel, with the pseudoprofundities nicely tucked into place as peppy one-liners and narrative tricks.
Cinema em Cena - 7/10 by Pablo VillaçaEmbora consiga se manter fiel à trama e à estrutura narrativa do fabuloso livro de Vonnegut, falha por não ter força dramática e por captar apenas parcialmente a intensa mensagem anti-belicista da obra original.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Vincent CanbyA wild, noisy, sometimes very funny film that eventually becomes as unstuck in its own exuberance as its hero, Billy Pilgrim, the Illium, N. Y., optometrist, is unstuck in time.
User Review - 10/10 by Matt DYou just don't see movies like this anymore. A fine adaptation of the book.
User Review - 10/10 by Leah FI loved this movie. Then again, I loved the book - maybe helps to get the plot (which is unstuck in time)... A meditation on the trauma of war, and how people cope. Great soundtrack (Glenn Gould playing Bach).
User Review - 10/10 by Matt MWithout using Vonnegut's signature phrase of the book "So it goes" even once, the film adaption successfully demonstrates all the helplessness, resignation and even hope summed up in those three words. It's divergent enough from the source material to still be interesting, but also faithful enough to deepen appreciation of the author's haunting message.
User Review - 10/10 by Julian E"Life is just a collection of moments all strung together in beautiful random order, and if we're going to survive it is up to us to concentrate on the good moments and ignore the bad." -Billy Pilgrim (Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.) This is my favorite philosophy of life. Thank God for Tralfamadorians. The book was so masterfully adapted in this film, I cried. It requires full attention because the movie itself pays the most attention to minute details. The transitions from one time-trip to the next was so perfect I felt like clapping my hands each time. And I did. And I always will. Too bad they left out my favorite character, Which is: Kilgore Trout. But I felt nothing of substance was lost. It still gets every message across perfectly and maybe even accessibly, I feel, to those who have not read the novel. Though I could be wrong. In my minds eye, the goof Billy Pilgrim looked something about Ewen Bremner (Spud from Trainspotting) but I knew it was invalid because that guy was Scottish. Then comes Michael Sacks. The perfect American to play as Billy Pilgrim. Goofy and comical as a Kid-Billy, and respectable and commanding as an adult one. The man and the part met. Excellently well played! I will always, love this film to death. So it goes. Perfection 10/10
User Review - 10/10 by Scott PThis movie (and book) had a life-changing effect on my young and encouragable mind. It forever changed the way I think about life in general, as well as my view of the world and the people in it. Thank you Kurt Vonnegut!
User Review - 10/10 by S.a. MOne of the few films that does more than credit to a brilliant book - very subtly, so much so that it's hard to decide which is "better".
