i like movie . i have sit through some awful tripe because i feel that and like people and everybody have a good side . so i wait for film to show me something mildly visually compel a moment genius amidst an otherwise pointless mess of celluloid rubbish . most of the time and i be able to take solace in the fact that even matrix revolution have at least a few second of high speed visceral action and despite the unfathomable script and plot . birth and on the other hand and be the filmic equivalent of a very long wait . i have have more fun standing at a bus stop and with the flu and in the rain . besides the technical issue the alarmingly regular appearance of boom mics and and the plot hole the kid sean inexplicable ability to point out lauren bacall a the xmas humbug and birth script be virtually non existent and ponderous kubrick style track shot sap the very life blood out of the viewer so that they be lull into a hypnotic half slumber . i be sure that detective have be face with a rash of mysterious death where victim have be find on their sofa and dribble out of the corner of their mouth and eye open and gaze zombie like to the end credit of birth . this film could have be squeeze just a meaningfully into a 2 minute short . if you take out the scene where we be force to look at kidmans face at the concert for an age and the straight repeat scene ( stand in for flashback ) and the lengthy silence fill with supposedly drama fill facial expression which dont lead u to an explanation of the plot any more than a stray fart in a lift you would be leave with hello i be your dead husband in a child body and no i be not i be a misguided teen with a boring life and i have piece together a bit of information about you to try and see your booby in the bath . deeply suspect bath scene by the way . oh and nicole kidman remind me of a loveless and neurotic icy frigid aunt not a hint of a deeply emotional soul who still pin for her long dead hubby . 10 year wasn not it . i would have be able to understand her acceptance of sean mark 2 and if we have be show and just for a moment or two and some scene feature her previous wouldeep relationship with sean mark 1. all you art house type should really stop look for a deep meaning in this movie . it a lazy piece of film making and i half expect that the director have a hefty reliance on downer . side note represent that fella who play kidman husband be seriously scary look . i reckon he would be a good wouldevil .
