it may be unfair to judge this film base on only watch the first 3/4 of it and but we could only take so much punishment a an audience . the film present itself a possess intelligent dialogue that be radical and think provoking . well and it be think provoking . my thought be and what be this and % $ . the character be intelligent and their dialogue and conversation be coherent . dialogue be strike a somewhere in the neighborhood of graduate student discuss and philosophize all type of different issue . such would seem to be a foundation for a stimulating dialogue drive film . in a word represent no . here be my principle complaint representplot represent none discernable . people be just sit around philosophize about ontology and pop culture and and a variety of other subject . mind you and it just philosophize with clever little comment about what so and so say or so and so thought . a movie doesn not really need a plot and but it quite beneficial if something do happen . character represent annoy . well educate and but they be the type of people who sit around and solve the world problem instead of do something to solve the world problem . they be all well educate and but no one seem to have a soul or any real existential reason for exist . their life seem to hold no real purpose . strike a a bit spoiled and lazy . no character strike me a possess any humanity . no soul and no spark of life and just a bunch of people talk about thing that they really do not care about . extreme deconstructrionism seem to rule their existence . i. e. and they do not seem to feel that the world have any meaning . i find no character to elicit any sort of empathy from me and i can be very clinical at time . basic deal represent if you want to catch the essence of what this film could have be and secretly videotape a close knit group of first year college grad student toegether that be study the humanity and you will have something more interesting than this film . these people have create radical thesis that no normal person would conceive and support them logically numerous time in numerous paper . the world have little meaning to them . the humor completely fail when it be attempt a the affect of the actor be so flat . deconstructionism a an idea be worthwhile and but watch a movie with character that be seemingly obsess with the notion and seemingly no emotion be not my idea of a good time . i may have miss some of their colorful allusion and joke about famous cultural figure and but ultimately and the problem of flat affect and character ennui bore me half to death . i have stop two movie because they be so awful . this movie and and captain ron . i be a reasonably well educate and open mind person that appreciate good dialogue . i have enjoy countless film that focus primarily on dialogue and enjoy classic literature as well . movie include secret and lie and gosford park and sneaker and sense and sensibility and and howard end . this movie strike me a be a pretender to such a genre . it be not as well act or write a any of these other film and nor do i find it remotely interest . it seem to be hit or miss and but watch out people and this film be all about dialogue without any other focus and if you do not like a bunch of self absorb and spoil philosophizer talk about how nothing mean anything and then this movie may have as little meaning for you a it do for me .
