my subject sound a big gray there and but so be the film . i saw this last night at the new york film critic screen in new jersey and i come away with very mixed feeling . first the positive represent 1. i love bang bang . she be hilarious . sadly and i think i be the only person who laugh at her antic . the theater be surprisingly quiet during her wacky moment . shame . 2. the acting be phenomenal . the actor really fit into their role and i enjoy them tremendously . now and the negative represent 1. when do this take place . i know this be an homage to old con film like paper moon and but i felt like not only be penelope someone shut out of reality and but so be everyone else involve in the con . i know stephen want to put penelope into an alternate world with the steamer ship and but even the scene that precede her involvement be from another era . 2. the plot get lose somewhere in prague . if you find it can you put it back into the film and please . rian johnson omit a plot point because he say ( at the q and a afterward ) that he couldn not come up with a clever idea for it . and so be leave wondering . be this a good way to leave an audience guessing . i disagree . instead he should have have bloom and stephen marvel over what have happen and not question it and for it raise a question in my head that will never be answer . 3. johnson also omit a scene because he felt it change the mood of the film so dramatically that it do not fit . i can totally understand that and but to not reveal the cause of an event that be keep in and remove me from the film . i find myself step backward by the last act and because i no longer felt connect to the story . in the end i felt like the one who have be con . i understand that it nice to discuss a film and have something to talk about with people and but to leave gap hole in it because you couldn not come up with an idea on your own or because the scene film change the mood just isn not the way to do it . it really ruin the climax for me . 4. why do someone else narrate the film . who be he . in the end i felt con by the movie represent it tug at my heartstrings and but in the end leave me empty .
