I gotta say, this movie really kept me
on my toes trying to figure out what was going on. It started out
relatively straight forward, but confusion quickly set in. While the
scenes within themselves played out cohesively, their relation to one
another became somewhat of a mystery. This, along with notable visuals
and music selections, successfully created the wonderful surreal
atmosphere which surrounded the film. And as the riddle grew, so did
my expectations for a reasonable explanation. While the ending was
definitely a stretch, it somehow felt entirely fitting. That was not
to say I wasn’t a little disappointed, for I was. In the end, I
realized it wasn’t so much the story that drew my attention, as it
was the storytelling.
Some nice extras found here. One featurette, which was great, followed
the stars on the press tour, while another dealt with
behind-the-scenes action. Also included here were, a music video, a
short interview with Paul McCartney about his contribution, two
trailers and a large photo gallery. There was also a great commentary
track from director Cameron Crowe which provided plenty of insight.
It can seem like a think piece, but you may as well just enjoy the
ride, for you’re not likely to see this ending coming.
