[8/10 · 21 November 2005]

Although I didn't quite understand the meaning of this film, I appreciated it for its artistic value and story. I especially liked the animation of the opening credits. I also enjoyed the telling of the story of the same person but from different times in his life. When the screen would split and show what had occurred and what was happening, it was very interesting. I liked how you found out where the main character's passion for acting came from. Another thing I found interesting was how the main character stood up for, or attempted to save, someone who betrayed him. This is a character trait that is not often found in today's heroes. All in all, it was an enjoyable and different movie.
