Yes, It's A Beautiful Mind...
Doppelgangers, giant spider metaphors. Maybe you might enjoy this confusion. Actors do good jobs. What it all means is the huh.
huh? Either this movie isn't as good as people think it is or I do not understand the movie/ its idea.
One of the most consistent movies in tone and symbolism I've seen in a long time (in addition to being really beautifully shot and executed). These 90 minutes are going to stick in my mind for weeks to come
7/10
Very well acted, Relaxing atmosphere, but take whatever you want from this because the director left it all up to the audience what the movie meant.
An Alfred Hitchcock style plot with a Twilight Zone ending;
wait, that's the ending? this movie is a lot stranger than it first appears! i probably need to watch this again.
Incredible - freighted with symbolism and entirely unexpected. Excellent score.
Paging Dostoyevsky. Meh.
I just wasted two hours. Really BAD.
welp
LMAO. What an ending.
huzzah

many will say huh. if you have the intellect its worth the time. good camera work, philosophical. I have always wanted to meet my doppelganger, but mine had the same very rare 1st name and career. My real life story would make a good sequel or another inverted version. we never met but, imagine people explaining, no its not the same Leif, and strangers coming up to you saying your leif you did my tattoo and trying to explain to them sorry that's the other leif. They cant believe the truth. chaos is order yet undeciphered is only a fractal moment of illusion for the dictator, Chaos is the beginning, complexity ( what you call order/control ordo ab chao is fleeting fractal sense of security. your short sighted illusion and comfort and security of order, chaos is the beginning and the ending. When your done trying to control everything and random determination destroys your fractal illusions, I will patiently wait surfing the chaos until it shows you how fractal control makes you weak.
