    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film was shot in 28 countries for four years. According to the director no stages or sets were ever used, only existing locations.
    • Goofs
      Though the hospital scenes take place in Los Angeles, they actually shot in South Africa, which drives on the left side of the road. All the cars in the shots on location at the hospital have steering wheels on the right side of the car, revealing that they are not actually in LA.
    • Quotes

      Alexandria: Why are you killing everybody? Why are you making everybody die?

      Roy Walker: It's my story.

      Alexandria: Mine, too.

    • Alternate versions
      For the UK version, some changes were made to remove footage from the archive cinema clips that involved real cruelty to horses, as this contravenes the UK's Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937.

    Great Film

    Its been 5 days since i saw this film now, and I'm still thinking about it. It achieves an intense feeling of epic grandeur with its fantasy scenes, which are visually mesmerising. The casting was excellent, i thought the acting was very good, especially since all the actors/actresses are fairly unknown, especially the girl who plays Alexandria - an incredibly natural performance; this can probably be attributed to Tarsem's approach.

    This film will make you laugh and cry simultaneously and has a profound effect on the viewer.

    I actually found viewing it somewhat humbling, i just tried to appreciate it tot he best of my ability.
