Such a frustrating disappointment

People are voting emotionally.

From my favorite movies..

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Lovely use of 3D walk through capture. Dislike the fake 10 stars reviews. Follow the ninja for talent in action/

This movie contains two parts.The first part is for real. The main hero has to paint old farting guy, his girl dumps him, etc.The whole second part is his imagination, dream. Struck by insomnia in the first part he images the world in the second part. Where he can stop time, a girl asks him for a date, pretty girls crowds night shop, people behave really funny, etc.There is no loud announcement of fantasy nature of the second part, just hints:a) Sharon (shopgirl) hides her hand watch screen in "imaginary part", and explicitly showed are not doing this in "real part" b) various magic "time stopping", "waking up for a week" is possible in second part d) an exhibition takes on a non-existed date - November, 31, Ben miscalculates it in his dream

A unique movie that should last some time in your memory for its portrayal of boredom in low paid jobs within our inane contemporary management culture. The realism is disturbing in its familiarity as supermarket consumers and vendors meet in a condition of non- reciprocity, marginalized by management-speak and non-optional strictures dressed up as common sense.Somehow our protagonist manages to survive his mind-numbing social condition almost as a cure for his recent lost love. A good portrayal of breakup scenes, contemporary sexuality - and social alienation with a comeback.Also a pretty good demonstration of why one should never go to art school. (Tell 'em about it!)

and I'm glad I didn't. This film is too deep to take away any true meaning from it in a short.At first glance of the Cover Art, I almost turned away because gratuitous nudity was not what I was seeking. I'm just happy that I did not judge the film itself solely on the Cover.Even though I am a Man... I am a Romantic and have always been. I appreciate films that explore the intricacies of the relationships between Men and Women, especially those which delve into the emotions, pain, sorry and happiness experienced by each.While I was initially put off by his undressing the women in the store unknowingly, I had to remind myself that this was merely a fantasy and had more to do with his boredom and Artistic side.The Childish antics of his fellow employees weren't amusing to me however, they also had their purpose in the story and did not take away from it for me.His love for Sharon and how he expressed it through his art was quite touching and a fitting direction for the film to it's conclusion, which was quite touching.Yes, I enjoyed the film... so much so, that I watched it two evenings in a row.
