Pretentious and disappointing
26 April 2005
The Director jumps into deep waters to intentionally choice avoiding the diving. The result, of course, could not be other than a pretentious work, characterized by the lack of research as well as the simplicity used to solve a plot full of ridiculous stereotypes. Even when the intentions may have been noble, what this complex story brings to the surface is only enormous ignorance and the effort to sell such ignorance as intellectual thought. Pretentious. Poor. Ridiculously embarrassing. It could be considered a small prove that the American stereotype may not be so wrong after all when reflecting the American society as arrogant and proud of its ignorance… It definitely proves that about John Sayles.
