I don't know that I wholey disagree with any of your points. I might be giving my emotional response to the film more weight in the film's final grade than you are. Which is typical of me. But, yes, solid points. I'm not sure I felt the dip that you did at the end. Though, the end wasn't as strong as the beginning. The "Under Pressure" scene was one of my favorite scenes from any film I've seen in a long, long time. I actually got fairly choked up during. What ending were you expecting? |

Funny thing is, I still find myself thinking about the movie a lot. The way it handled the subject matter was just superb and I keep thinking about that aspect.

Oh and I meant to say that I didn't wholey agree with ALL of your points, not "any" of them. I actually like most of your points, and completely agree about the film's handling of subject matter.

I haven't seen a good many of those. But on my own personal list, I'd have Inception much higher. Probably above The Social Network, honestly. And I loved The Kids Are All Right... but I'd probably put Inception above that one too.
Man, I am soooo pumped for Black Swan, I can't even tell you! |
