Revolver

This is the type of movie that makes me feel dumb.  As if the filmmakers, in this case director Guy Ritchie and writer Luc Besson, are at genius level IQ and watching their film is like trying to read Tolstoy in Klingon.

The film starts off normal enough and as the viewer you think you get it, then before I knew it I found myself looking for loopholes and subplots and double-crossings, even going so far as to suggest that the film is a dream or weird hallucination.  At the very end of the film, as the credits roll, there are snippets of interviews with psychologists talking about the subconscious and the "ego"... to my credit I did take Psych 101, but that was at least five years ago and my memory of Freud and his theories is shaky at best.

Anyway, I have gotten sidetracked.  Bottom line, if you want to challenge yourself and your creativity then watch this film.  Ritchie is clearly making a statement about peoples' preconceived notions and expectations, leaving an infinite void you could fill with analyzation and interpretation.  Perhaps you remember more of freshman year psych than I do...
