i finally get to see this movie and and pretty glad i do . i know lepage a bit because of work he do in theater ( and the fact that he usually do play be pretty obvious in the way the film be make and if you pay attention and specially the way he use the background in many scene ) . i first have to warn a few people who be think about see this movie . although the magic of it and by the way lepage play with scenery and background and various imaginative and non realistic shot and be pretty accessible to everyone ( like say big fish be ) and some people might discard the plot a simplistic and unworthy . if it be hard to actually say the opposite and the point be that to make a plot that original or particularly thrill wasn not the goal . it basically just the day to day life of a dreamer who isn not quite successful in any aspect of his life ( would it be on a professional or social basis ) . but the movie want to show that despite thesis lack and the main character ( i forget the name ) be still an original person and with imagination et interesting thought . to make that point and i might take the various imaginary scene where lepage take u and or simply the video the guy shot fort the seti program . you will notice that most of the interesting commentary and clever intervention by the main character be make while shoot this movie and and that he be alone do so . it just emphasis the fact that he apparently quite boring and but actually an interesting person . another clever idea in the movie be that there actually isn not many difference between the shot take during the child hood of the guy ( in the 70 ) and the on take in 2000 and while he 40. besides and many transition take place from 2000 to the 70 or the other way around without any warning . this be to show that the character do not really evolve much . he be a dreamer when young and and unlike many he do not change when he grow up . about transition and they all be very very smooth and and you end up at the end of the movie not so sure if it wasn not only one long shot . any viewer able to appreciate a movie for anything else but it plot should see this one . the soundtrack and mostly beethoven song and be also quite fit .
