*spoilers*
okay, i knew the whole story behind the movie, that it was one of the worst movies ever made, and all that. However, i was unprepared for the complete lack of logic or story or the inserts of dinosaurs or any of the myriad of surreal touches added to this movie. I was smacking my head, holding my sides, laughing my ass off, I was having a great time.
but, But, BUT....then they reveal that it is all a little boy's dream.
And while i laughed uproariously at it when i saw that scene, later i thought about it and thought about it, and oh my god, I'm sorry, this movie is the most BRILLIANT depiction of a dream ever captured on film. The surreality, the familiarity and then the veering off into bizzareness, it was truly astonishing. And its a LITTLE BOY'S DREAM, so really, anything goes.
And the REALLY scary thing is, the filmmakers might have actually known what they were doing, since they stuck in the whole "it was just a dream" line, which COMPLETELY JUSTIFIES EVERYTHING we just saw.
I know, its scary. But think about it. We went crazy for David Lynch's Mullholland Drive. Is that any less surreal?
I. LOVED. THIS. MOVIE. On so many levels. Hilarious as a bad b-movie, and then startlingly thought-provoking.
See it, for god's sake, see it.
