| User ReviewJason LAnother one of those indie, cult, art house, alternative films that very few of my friends has the patience to enjoy and that I read in too many introspective, profound messages about life, philosophy, humanity, the universe and existence from. I know a guy very much like the main character in this story. Kind of a borderline functional alcoholic who knows how to appreciate life whenever possible and also to do what it takes to survive when he has to as well. Living for the moment in situation to situation and not giving too much of a damn what others think. Seeing the world below from an airplane, in the beginning of the film, kind of reminds me of what insignificant commodities and how anonymous we all are as individuals in a sea of human civilization. The guy is a typical, bachelor, male in almost every respect. Many of the scenes seem out of context and cut together sometimes incongruently, but it still pieces together into a coherent story despite all this. |
