After watching the film I am left with this sad feeling. I don’t know why, but I think I had the same feeling the first time I watched it too. The film is dark<\/span> gray and depressing a bit. Even the happy ending doesn’t feel like a happy ending…<\/p>\n

On the acting side, I really liked Brad Pitt. He outperformed everyone else in the film, and he even outperformed some of his other roles. Playing a mentally insane is a touch job and only a few actors can do it properly. Brad is one of them.<\/p>\n

I also liked how surrealistic and depressing “the future” was pictured – excellent special effects, camera work and make-up. All those screens, lenses and windows did a great job in creating the atmosphere. Oh, the outlawing of heterosexual activities was a nice touch onto it all.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
