What a waste of time this POS was.

Allegory, metaphor, I don't give a fk what you want to call it, this was boring, went no where, to say ANYTHING was ill explained would indicate that SOMETHING had been explained, and that's just wrong, since NOTHING was explained.

No I didn't read the book, it was published 6 years BEFORE I was born, so no I have no relation to the time it was released and anything else going on, and since NOTHING was explained, I will not jump to any metaphorical BS reasoning to explain it. It was just awful from start to finish.

Exactly my opinion, those first 30/40 minutes looks promising, later on, it is a reiterative succesion of the same nonsical scenes until the very end, and no second meaning or metaphorical or whatever hidden meaning we could wishfully suspect it is there, will hide the simple truth that there is no story at all, nor storytelling too obviously, there is nothing but almost perfect, pretentious, boredom, at least for me.

Welcome to the idiocracy, people.

And for the record, I didn't like the film.

I've got a large library of books, but READING a book and LIVING in a TIME PERIOD are two completely different things. I LOVE listening to the 60/70/80s music, and LOVE the cars from 60/70s... Doesn't make me any more knowledgeable about what it was like to LIVE during the 60/70s, and as I was born in '81, I had a child's view of the world for the 80s.
