this movie start off somewhat slowly and get run towards the end . not that that be bad and it be do to illustrate character trait degression of the main character . consequently and if you be not into tragedy and this be not your movie . it be the thought provoke philosophy of this movie that make it worthwhile . if you like dostoyevsky crime and punishment and you will probably like this if only for the comparison . the intriguing question that the movie prompt be and what be it that make a renowned writer completely disregard his publicly aproved idea for another set . the new idea be quite oppose to the status quo if you be a conservative you will not like this movie . besides other philosophical question and i must admit that the movie be quite aesthetically please as well . the grassy hillside and beautiful scenery help me get past the slow start . also and there be use of coloric symbolism in represent the mindstate of the main character . if these sort of thing do not impress you and skip it . overall i give this movie a 7 .
