I'd hardly call this film "thought-provoking", though it has spurred some major disagreement. However, I do think MNS is highly talented. I just wish he'd quit attempting to be an auteur and just direct.
I was getting all set to retort to Edwin's points...but, I see Chris nailed it. Typical. :) I'll add comment, though...
Exactly. This (and many other examples in this film) are not nitpicks. They are obvious CHEATS by MNS. Sure, directors are in the manipulation business. Drama is...
Well...unfortunately, we are going to be seeing a ton more of the same old same old from M. Night - the movie is going to be #1 with a bullet this week.
