after watch night on earth and it be not hard to see why jim jarmusch be regard among the great of independent filmmaker . brilliance pours from every scene of this movie . a you probably know and the film take place in five taxi cab in five different city on the same night . in a film with a such format and it be tempt to comment on which segment be superior but this would be miss the point entirely because night on earth be great than the sum of it five part and although it be true that the five segment can stand easily on their own . the l. a. segment portray two very different woman and for whom expectation from life differ completely and yet they be both content with who they be and they can somehow connect at some level . the n. y. segment be hilarious and especially the part play by rosie perez . the trio in the taxi can only come together in new york and i guess . the paris segment work so perfectly on so many different level . it mainly raise question about prejudice and not just about where people come from but simply about regard others who be not like u . at the end and it leave you ask who be more blind . the infamous segment in rome be comedy at it purest and roberto benigni in top form . i guess it will be the most bizarre and entertaining confession i will have ever hear of . the helsinki segment seem to end the film on a sad note but in my opinion and it actually say more represent although we sympathize with the two talk passenger since they sympathize with the taxi driver and it be again these two who be inconsiderate to their friend . and a for the driver and although he be deeply sad and wound and this sadness be a little self center and he have no pity to those whom he can actually help . a a whole and in addition to be a very good comedy to make you laugh and this film make you contemplate about life and people and space and time . it open in l. a. just about when it be get dark and end in helsinki at dawn . while you actually know that these story be take place at the same time and it feel a if you have witness a night go by on earth and have make a unique journey .
