Great movie...
A few comments about the comments:
You have to understand “2001” to appreciate it. Maybe you had to have once been stoned. At least once.
“Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” was about two homosexuals. That’s the secret that allows you to enjoy it.
“The Unbearable Lightness of Being” was a beautiful book, masterfully translated. Like many great works of fiction, it failed to survive the transformation into film.
“The Remains of the Day”—a literary tour de force with a deep message. It won the Booker prize. Ergo it made a terrible film.
I wish people would stop trying to make movies out of good literature. It doesn’t translate. It only makes you think the book must be just as bad. The more literary the work of fiction, the more ridiculous it is to hope it can be put on the screen.
Saw it when I was in HS at my Sister’s college, came out and it was total fog out...chills. Excellent movie.
