now you see, Primer. That’s not a great film but it’s very difficult to understand. You get that front the start and you realise it’s a challenger and engage it at that level. You think about it and start to understand it.
I was fine with it, up until the point when he put a time machine in another time machine. Then I pretty much gave up trying to understand it, and it just got worse and worse. It’s almost a film to be studied rather than watched. Very complex.
Clearly I’m a bit thick and I’ll not doubt evoke the wrath of STW here but ‘the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind’ made little sense to me. The film is simple to understand and I like that it’s a bit cleverer than normal hollywood films but I fail to understand the point of the film.
A great film IMO, but if you didn’t like it you could try Garden State, Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World, or even Wristcutters: A Love Story. Similar sort of films, basically a love story at heart, but different from normal stuff you see.
