Just watched it again...still don't get it. Is it deep, or is it just up it's own arse?
Good movie though.
Interstellar, now theres a movie which tries to be deep but just ends up being boring.

Good movie, though I didn't like the extended action sequence at the end. Seemed kind of pointless, and bored me.
A lot of people like Roger Ebert praised it for being original; but it was pretty much the same concept as the Matrix (a world in our minds which seems real but is actually manufactured while we're in a sleep-like state). They even have all of the gravity-defying, running-up-the-walls-and-flip-at-odd-angles thing. And just like the Matrix, if you die in the dream world, you die in the real world as well.
Again, it was a good movie. Not something I'd want to see again, though.

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundA movie I saw a while back that I thought was quite deep was Cloud Atlas (2012). Most of the actors played multiple roles as the movie unfolds through 6 different eras. Do not fall asleep watching this, you will wake up wondering if you're watching the same movie.

Originally posted by Suziannewill check it out. Babel is quite deep. I ended up feeling sorry for the little Japanese girl in the end.

Japanese - daughter of guy who went shooting in Morocco
Moroccan kids using gun given to the guide as a present
American couple on holiday in Morocco
Spanish Nanny looking after their kids while they were travelling.
4 stories, 4 languages Babel.
Quite a good movie.

Thank you for clarifying.
