Great Film overall

Awesome Movie

Absolutely the worst movie.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Fine almost-psychedelic-oriented comedy about romance, struggles in art work and just loosing your mind (and finding it back). The meaning of the word tells it all. Dorff offers a great performance. U2's performances in the movie are in the right spots and at the right time. Very experimental yet great results. Entropy is a must for people who like the first stages of Tarantino, the visual experimentation of Olver Stone and the hilarity of Woody Allen (strange but rather great mix!).I find it mind blowing that the plot begins with the narrator in an awful shape explaining the story and then gets to meet his own character and the movie goes on! The ending leaves you with a melancholic feeling because all us who are still attached to this world have experienced the "Entropy" after an intense experience what ever it was. See you in the journey to forever!

But those who can connect with the director at some level will really like this film. It is not surprising to see such difference in the comments left behind about this film. I guess it is one of those that you either love or hate. I for one, loved it. It has "some what" unique camera work that goes well with the story and it makes interesting use of jump cuts in its editing. Most of the actors are very comfortable in their roles, especially Stephen Dorff. If you are familiar with the circumstances behind the making of this film, you will appreciate it even more. Some comments criticized the "smoking cat scene". People, it was only his imagination! And if you had understood the film you would know why that scene is there. This film is better then good but not great and it may come of as being a little pertinacious. Finally, the tagline summarizes it really well, 'The hardest thing to do in life is direct your own'.

I admit it...I only gave Entropy a try because I am a disgusting U2 fan. And Bono wasn't really all that bad in his first acting role...playing himself.The story is stale. Much of the comedy is predictable. The dialogue is very weak.However! This film has AMAZING style. The colors, lighting, and cinematography are gorgeous.So, I suggest, in order to get the utmost enjoyment out of the film is to mute it and play a cd (perhaps a cd of the Irish rock band variety).

This is a marvellous film. It's creative and almost refreshing, even with its not so happy ending. I've been reading other comments and some people seem a bit bothered by the film's perspective and presentation. Jake is not a character that you can fall in love with. But you can empathize. He's self-centered, egotistical, creative...i found the narration scenes wonderful, what better way to narrate a film about a film maker, than to have the character physically narrating, instead of just a voice over. I know a few film makers/students and they are alot like Jake, i felt that was portrayed quite accurately. I liked the relationship between Jake and Stella...i liked the feeling of being swept away, but being afraid at the same time. The scene with the cat was great because it showed you right there that Jake is not all there in the head, which made me laugh even more when i thought back to the comment in the beginning about models being insane, and the hint that Stella might be insane herself. I think you can relate to Jake's character if you've ever loved someone and messed up and let them go, or if you're a stella, someone who was hurt by selfish acts such as Jake's (like when he got upset because she was busy working and couldn't talk to him, when he had done the same to her). Anyway it's a great film, and the characters fit perfectly together, even Bono is wonderful and not at all out of place. Highly reccommended. I gave it a 9.
