Jesus, why can't you criticize a single half-pretentious movie without people rushing over to tell you how you just don't have the capacity to understand it? I get the movie. I understand the logic behind it. It's not that complicated. And I think the movie has a lot of high points, but there are a lot of things that keep it off my top list. Like Gyllenhaal's acting. The only moment I really thought he did great was when he snapped out of the trance while standing in front of the mirror.

I know your post wasn't aimed directly at me, but if you keep telling people they don't get movies that have a few pseudo-philosophical elements just because they don't think their lives have been changed by them, you'll just come across as a moron.
