It's worth watching this more than once if you didnt get it the first time around. Its rich in subtext and symbolism. You can interpret it differently each time you watch it, and the performances are as good as it gets.

Some people just won't like it because they think its pretentious and doesn't tell you exactly what it means, but for a lot of us that's its selling point. If you have an imagination and a philosophy on life this is a rewarding, but terrifying film.

I watched it last night, and was totally in "what the fukk" mode after. Not in a bad way, it was a great movie.

Do you all read analysis/reviews after you watch the film? I feel like an idiot because alot of stuff brought up went over my head on the first viewing. One theory that stuck with me was the film is basically the fight between Id, Ego, and Super Ego.
