This is really good...though iI spose a bit silly when it gets to certain parts of the movie....but, I really loved the movie and its faults. It has some great sequences with miniatures and it has a really nice song that keeps being used every now and again.

Ok well first thing has to be said....it has great music, you know the type of music that gets into your head?....the problem with the actual film is something that's difficult to say exactly....there is always something great in these movies though....i love looking at the miniatures.

Wonderful stuff. I saw this one at round about the same time as Adaptation (same week I think) and again it floored me. The visits to his uncle and trips out with his uncle are very memorable...and Marks determination to get it done, combined with being depressed and wanting to drink the night away...and having a very good honest friend by his side are all things I could relate to. Making a film is just such a huge undertaking, and its all captured here so well. But not only that, we get to see people in their current situation here in real life too, small bits of their private lives, even if its just a glimpse...it fascinated me. and its honestly is much respected. But not only that we have some great guitar music on the soundtrack..again memorable. This is one of the all time greats.

This was one of these films that I sat down to watch and was just totally, totally blown away by it...its definitely one of the best films ever made. Maybe its a kind of a personal thing to say this, but i could relate to a lot of what I saw in this films, thus making it well...very relate-able for me, its a truly wonderful film.
