open your eyes

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0125659/

i sure wish that there had been some sign earlier in the movie that something besides a murder case was going on. that part was not revealed until like 80% of the way through, by which point i had lost interest and fast forwarded through a lot of the details.

i think i heard that vanilla sky was based on this movie. if that is the case, then i can suddenly understand why people kept recommending vanilla sky while only describing it as a movie about a good-looking guy who gets disfigured. what are they going to do, give away the twist? giving away that there is a twist almost gives away the twist.

so anyway, i can understand the problem, but i disapprove of every member in the set of all possible solutions. it is like designing your own proprietary encryption scheme and then depending on secrecy to prevent it from being broken. mmm hmm. word.
