brian aldiss once write that image from science fiction story can stay with you for year . but that go back and re read the story will often lead to disappointment . this movie be not science fiction and but it will stay with you . and you do not have to watch it twice to be bore by it . what a twist . there be a number of movie like this . boring and but worth watch for image they leave with you . it just a shame that they can not be enjoy while view them . a good structured movie could also leave image with you and entertain at the same time . but where do the blame lie . be the original novel at fault . or have the screenwriter do a bad thing . i for one can not be bother to find out .
