bret easton elli novel be turn into a good look but utterly pointless film ( much like his novel ) . ellis work be document the 1980 rich and beautiful ( and wannabe rich and beautiful ) in a series of book that reveal how empty and vapid it all be . here it more of the same a the death of one person send tremor through the people who know and pretend to love him . the film look fantastic . every shot be perfectly compose like a perfume ad . it eye candy of the high order and the sort of thing you would like to use to show off an hd tv . the plot be sex and drug and bad behavior a the interrelated story spin out and the various people who you probably would never want to deal with in real life try to get by a their utterly empty life play out . i be not sure if be suppose to take these people seriously or laugh at them . certainly there seem to be little connection to reality a character who look more like an idealized idea of hollywood in the 80 talk about their petty life and unremarkable tragedy . i be amaze at time that this many empty people could be in one room with out it implode into a black hole . none of it seem real and and have live through the decade i can pretty say people only look like this in retouched advertisement . the real problem here be that unless youre rich and vapid nothing in this film have no bearing on anyone life . have read some of elli early work i be always strike by how his writing never have any connection to most people live . it nice to be young and beautiful and rich and but the life be so unconnected to anything in my life that i never care what happen . in this film and a in his book and i be always of the opinion that if everyone suddenly die and we be just leave with empty room there would be no difference in what be go on . it sound and fury signify nothing . if you want a good look and well act but utterly meaningless movie give it a try . actually if you want to see the best part of the film and watch the accident that open the film then turn it off because it never get good than that .
