I can not believe this movie is getting near perfect reviews. It is confusing as hell! If you have to explain what a movie means, then you have ultimately failed. It was nicely put together, but it doesn't make sense. Everyone that has seen this film, relizes that there is some kind of underlying meaning, but noone knows what it is! It was too secret, that nobody knows the secret. So once again, IF YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN YOUR MOVIE, THEN YOU HAVE ULTIMATELY FAILED!

Why can't it make you THINK and draw your own perspective from it? Tell me what's wrong with that? If a film does not do that to some degree, and you KNOW exactly what it means, then it has failed, and can border on becoming cliched propaganda.

So the guy who made Chorale has no right to put it on because he didn't anticipate you not liking it?

I'm sorry, but I tried to figure out some kind of meaning to the story, but I couldn't. Sure a movie should make you think, but it shouldn't leave you completely stumped. You tell me what the meaning of this film was. I'll bet that you have no clue. I don't mean to sound bit**y, but I'm serious. You don't mind watching a movie that has no explanation?
David Lynch is crazy. Did anyone see Mulholland Drive? It was a great movie, but I had to research what it meant. I kind of had an idea, though, of what it meant. I at least understood some of it. The research made my knowledge better, of course.
