Mel Bell Oracle

I don’t mind a director putting me in a car blindfolded and telling me a story that I don’t understand and trusting that after hours of a journey we will get where they intended to take me, take off my blindfold and I can be like “Wow, that was deep, I need to sit and contemplate this.” This is not that movie. What I greatly dislike is a director taking advantage of an audience and feeling no need for the audience to understand. This was that kind of movie. That being said, great acting by everyone if you look it scene by scene. Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind was brilliant and strange and a favorite of mine that i’ve watched more than a few times. This movie led me to seek out explanations like I’m an outsider of an “You had to be there.” Kind of story. It wanted to be like Mother which if you saw it was confusing and chaotic but cohesive. You could get it with some good contemplation. *Spoiler* Lucy’s perspective was a beautiful one and they robbed her of the main character’s right to the full story and gave it to the guy at the end like she was just a person in someone else’s story which was not what the whole movie was leading up to. She was the most real person in the movie, the journey was hers and then she didn’t matter. Just ridiculous choices.
