It was hard to tell what this movie was trying to get at. It was like a reflection of the philosophy of the age: everything. I mean really everything, is possible, and it iis up to you to choose it. And yet it didn't really believe that either, because it was fatalistic also, like toppings on a bagel. You have no control of it. There ate good themes, but they are jumbled up. Yet on the surface apparent selfless love wins through in the end for mo apparent reason.

The acting was brilliant, but the mediocrity of the script means it will be one of those movies that we will be wondering in years to come how on earth it won so many oscars.
