    ★★★★★

    Only one person in your life understands you. Your psychologies are wired identically. But you have conflicting objectives and stand on opposite sides of organized power structures. In addition to that, both of you, and everyone they’re connected to, have partners and lovers asking for their presence at home. They plead to these titans, please, love me more than your obsession. There is no ideology in what they live for. It’s adrenaline. The principle of securing fulfillment via the hunting of prey.

    ★★★★½

    The movie begins and ends with the knocking of a door. One is the offering of help, and the other is begging for mercy. They grieve and the wounds are fresh, although many had been buried. It’s a celebration of life until ego causes resentment to curse the night. We watch for the hope that love will stop senseless retribution. But the past had to be repeated. Everything you are springs out when you have to say goodbye. A futile race for reconciliation was the realest pursuit he had.

    ★★★½

    What an incredible feat to escape purgatory. The soul you have before life is guided by a bubbly, PR-centric, quota-meeting managerial class. The meaning of life is a tiny leaf. Trent Reznor plays jazz. David Foster Wallace needles his way in there. The man really tells it to his mother. What if there was a version of the movie where you see him fall down the manhole, and you see everything. And it’s in slow motion. And “Hurt” by NIN (thanks again Trent) plays while it happens. Would be a very different kind of movie. Probably the most controversial one of the year.
