Inspired by another post in another thread, I thought I'd start a thread on this film which most people either love or hate.
IMO, I thought it was genius. One of the best films of the 90's.
One reviewer commented about the music in it, mainly the choice to use Supertramp in certain scenes...but it works great!
Two minor problems I had with the music though was that in parts it was a bit too loud and centerstaged. Secondly, I thought the song at the end didn't quite work as everyone sang a few verses. It looked more like a music video than I think PT wanted it to.
There were many great performances in the movie, my favorites being Tom Cruise and Melora Walters who played Claudia. I thought she was spot-on in her performance. Favorite quote by Cruise, "I'm quietly judging you."
Excellent direction by PT in this film. I had originally disliked the frog scene but then realized that it made sense when you put everything together and take into account why he had those certain scenes beginning the film, obviously to set it all up.
BTW, I noticed that if you watch the character of Stanley as he's answering questions on the game show, there is a piece of the set behind him, an angel's wing, that makes it look like it's part of him. At the bar, one man tells the other, don't confuse children with angels.
Interesting.
