When people constantly compliment the art and beauty you know its bad


I went into this hearing people on this forum say, "it was such a beautiful film". Or it a great piece of "art". Yeah, right. A picture with paint splatters on it is a masterpiece of art to somebody to most people its just a a piece of garbage. Listen to the people who tell you this movie is trash. It is. This movie is as good as Forest Whittaker's accent was in the movie. Terrible.

Yeah, what was the deal with Whittaker's sometimes on, sometimes off accent?

I would tell most people it is an excellent and in-depth exploration of the nature of language and it's effect on how we think and an interesting look at the concept of non-linear time. But most people aren't really all that interested in that sorta stuff, lol. The film *is* quite beautiful to look at (and listen to), too.
