Awful - disgrace of a movie... First of all, I would like to clarify that I am a movie lover. I watch everything, from utter crap, like Adam Sadler movies, or Will Ferrell to the "deepest" and most challenging or provoking movies. I consider myself intelligent enough to grasp a concept or two.
Having said that, this movie was one of the worst wastes of time I have ever experienced. I stayed with it, till the end, so that I can have a valid and grounded opinion. I really expected something that would change my opinion towards the end, but this "something" never came.
This movie is rubbish. I have not read a single review (looked at 10-20 of them) that can actually justify what the heck this movie is about. The only thing that I read constantly is how much of a masterpiece this movie is and how it handles serious issues etc. What are those issues? Does anyone care to elaborate? Or is this one of these movies that conveniently has a thousand hidden messages that can be interpreted in a million ways? Well, I have news for you. You can look at literally any movie like that. Even Fast and the Furious...!
This movie is apparently about a Nekrophile, that somehow finds a body that is washed ashore and "adopts" it. He is ready to commit suicide or something and then he discovers the body and starts to interact and talk with it, forming some kind of a bond that even results to them kissing! At some point, he actually put a cork in the body's bottom, to keep water inside so that he can drink out of it (or some other elaborate metaphor, too difficult for my simple mind). Lots of "clever" metaphors here and there, that should make you think about death and life and how some things we pay attention to really don't matter, etc.
In the end, as it turns out, although the guy seems to be taking some journey to return home after being hypothetically stranded somewhere, he was actually in a creek behind a residential area the entire time. Wow! Didn't see that one coming! And he's some kind of a lunatic or bipolar or I don't know what. In the end, Radcliff, disappears into the sea, farting his way in its blue vastness. Should have turned the DVD player off as soon as he did the same thing in the beginning of the movie.
Don't waste your time!
