Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

--contain SPOILER--I opened the film without any expectations so early in my appetite was whet one that has been emphasized aha said one of the great movies. it seemed as if it were ordinary middle to the right a little confused in my head all over again, I noticed I began to follow some very important details. I feel like saying good again in the last section. After the film was finished, I thought I read comments from ekşisözlük' five to ten minutes, and I found myself saying so many times hmm really. Now I think I understand the film and I say excellent film. but if you watch the film in order to understand the events of the summer of no avail monitoring for those who do not want to get into any trouble understanding watched the film the next section. I saw that comment as an explanation of the need felt .. I quote the name of heartache is lexicographer explain the movie: the depth of the film, I watched science fiction or action he can overwhelm sitting. opposite, who focuses on criticism of the system and the images will be granted concessions to more romance and philosophical thought that was left incomplete infrastructure. The romantic story can be interpreted incorrectly by all in this mess. based on the story of a "butterfly effect" logic. the mysterious man in the hospital, he also fate of all the variables that can be called depending on the possibilities of the concept symbolizes an eye sees in broad terms. The relationship between his father held responsible for the death of David's sister, intertwines with Milo and Emilia's life changing results. events mysterious man will commit suicide before absorption was not drive, and then lead to an accident victim to Milo and they never met. There are details that can be missed very easy for the story in the film that follows the absence of their inextricable and dull. Milo his portrayal as the red-haired girl in the head, taking the Emilia's face at some point. the reason for this is not a coincidence; have not seen each other for a very short period of time while shooting for a while before absorption. Milo since childhood unwittingly faced girl of his dreams had taken refuge in the unhappy moments and paste the girl of his dreams his face; At the end of stunned because remember it when they come face to face. absorption also influenced by the mysterious man's words, about to commit suicide, although not aware of memory embedded in the same way Milo give up the dream of dying to see. which can be always expressed "could have taken better", "better could be constructed" If we leave aside the form of oppositional approaches can give the name of this movie called genius Franklyn enigma even a hat detail to be removed. if necessary, replace o hat. mysterious man in to add a few something I do not quote me on the arm once I'd like to hospital after a while with stones seen in cafes all over the place like Milo says girls can not see today. doing so with a sugar cube, and then suddenly appears in the following scene in the face of Milo's dream girl. If you're exaggerating, but you can call me on his way to the stone marking his pilgrimage with sugar cubes is very similar to Jesus' figure. This dream also the only daughter Sally on imagination rather than girls (because of the connection with the mysterious man) can be an element of a divine power. or Milo's sitting at the same table with the girl's mysterious island dream how is it possible. I thought they needed when Christians in Europe Europe known in the film when the film is my idea. I think it was a scene in the hospital church in the last scene photos show the man had asked you seen him looking for the child. he had also disappeared so mysteriously sent us to a missing uncle and got the address of our encounters with the friends of our children uncle there. all of them before the film as a result of fate as she symbolizes the fate of the mysterious man in it if directing events such as shows that there is something 'and wants to convince the audience of the film's fate ..

Dark, depressing, boring, psychological CR_P!! Goths and weirdo's will love it! Cannot believe the British spent money on this drivel!! Got half way thru and turned it OFF!! I would rather watch paint dry! Its absolute nonsense and makes no sense whatsoever! I nearly wanted to take a razor and slice my own wrists.... for goodness sake it seems like a whole bunch of people were on Valium and Prozac when they came up with this...put your money into making something interesting, as I know the Brits can, but many times they are producing some incredible dark and depressing and vulgar rubbish!! And I'm not wasting my time on any more on a review for it.... its a complete flop!!

Several different plot strands that somehow magically (unrealistically) join up right at the end. Pulp fiction or magnolia this is not. This is not even a true science fiction movie. That was the sole reason i bought the film...Most of the film is slightly dull and hard to follow. The scenes in the 'alternative' London are just plain silly and badly scripted. Yet when we connect them with our London they do actually make a little more sense and take on a deeper meaning that previously thought. This eureka moment is one of the few moments in the film that actually impress. The other being the scene between Milo and his mum regarding his great realisation about Sally.The ending is nonsensical and just not a good enough pay off for what we have had to sit through. The only semi-interesting character and decently acted part was that played by Eva Green. Also helps that she looks pretty cool throughout.

I am frankly surprised almost to the point of shock that so many people have such a hard time following this movie. It is very straight forward in its story telling. The only reason i can imagine anyone *not* following it is either (a) confusion by the mislabeling of this film as a science fiction film (its not, its a psycho-drama) OR (b) geekish yearnings to make the sci fi setting 'real'. The ironic thing about (b) is that those people who do twist the world in such a way are, in fact, illustrating what this movie is all about-- which is the human ability to divorce ones perceptions from reality. The main characters exist in a spectrum of dissociation. (1) David/Jonathan Priest is a recently returned war veteran who is dealing with the trauma of the senseless death of his baby sister. Of all the characters, he is the most disassociated from reality-- to the point where he has created an entirely divergent internally-consistent reality for himself. We would call such a person "dissociative" or "psychotic" normally, but this movie shows him not as unique but merely as an extreme in a continuum of human behavior. (2) Milo created a fantasy friend. "Sally", as a child to cope with the death of his father. To him, Sally is part of his reality, a part that again is only part of his own perceptions. When his life hits a crisis of loneliness in the loss of his fiancée, he brings Sally back into his world. Again, we would view this as a lesser form of disassociation/psychotic break by our normal yardsticks. But there are even more shades here. (3) Emelia has also created a break with reality because of trauma, in this case her childhood abuse (sexual is suggested but never totally stated) by her father. Choosing to forget that and remember it as stories, not reality, she has substituted a desperate longing for a father that she thinks she lost, though chances are he never really existed as she remembers him. Rather then blame herself for the sexual abuse (as victims commonly do) she has substituted a blame of her mother for "taking her father away." She acts out her inner turmoil and attacks her mother through staged "art" suicides. It could be argued that these are also her attempts on some level to punish herself, but thats never developed in the movie. Nonetheless it generally takes either severe depression or severe guilt to bring one to the brink of suicide. (4) David's father has the same trauma that David has-- the traffic accident death of his daughter, David's little sister, In his case, he is clinging to a hard line religious explanation. That it was God's will and God's actions. This gives a senseless and horrible death, a little girl struck down by a car, meaning and allows him to deal with it. It can be argued however that this TOO is a disassociation from the reality that random horrible things happen without purpose or reason. That is a reality that many people we would consider "normal" to flee from and make up stories to hide behind instead. And in the end thats what this movie is about, as explained in the "story" that "Sally" tells Milo about the story teller who built a perfect world, but in the end walked away from it because it wasn't real. And the real and only question this movie leaves is that: what stories do WE live in rather then dealing with reality, and which is really better? Is believing in a cold, uncaring, random world more healthy just because it is "real"? or do we as human beings by our very nature live in worlds of fantasy in order to function? As for the final shot of the bucket and mob without the janitor by it, that is open for debate, but I see it as a "tease".. daring US to interpret the janitor's part in the film not as just one more random element in a random world, but as something with deeper and perhaps mystical meaning. The author leaves that for us, the viewers, to weave fantasies about.
