This film is brilliant. Everyone I've ever come across who didn't appreciate the film were people I didn't respect in terms of film taste anyway. The kind of people who were blown away by the screenwriting in Avatar are the kind of take issue with Huckabee's. The first dozen times I watched this one it made my heart warmer. I guess perhaps I super-identified with all the existential crisis, but I don't understand how anyone can't. I think this may have been the film that turned on my love of the medium. I love the score. I love the performances. I love the cinematography. The only thing I dislike about this film is why I have to inexplicably defend it as a solid piece of quirky art.
