one of the most if not the most misunderstood film of the 2000's?

it isn't a 10/10 masterpiece, but i feel that the underlying message about this f*ed up 'spring break' 'MTV' fantasy centred society we live in today, well.. wasn't very underlying at all. i mean through the combination of the screenplay,shots and imagery i found it quite easy to decipher.

and before anyone jumps on me - yes i understand the appeal of a film is a COMPLETELY subjective thing, and this isn't exactly an easily accessible nolan-type vehicle (not to diss Nolan).I recognise that both my enjoyment and someone else's hate are both equally respectable. but those dismissing it as a 'brainless' and 'vulgar' film obviously missed the point COMPLETELY. THAT'S EXACTLY the type of culture it is MOCKING.

last i checked on here Transformers 2 has a higher score than this. i mean c'mon. even if you disliked SB you have to admit it was a exercise in art, although a possibly unsuccessful one in your eyes.on the other hand the transformers series comes off as an exercise in financial greed.

like what you like and dislike what you dislike - but at least try to understand the message of the movie before calling it garbage or brainless.

im out -
