I liked watching it. The lean dialogue invites and allows the imagination to ponder everything caught on camera. The mind fills in significant drama unique to each viewer resulting in a very different movie for each. This, unlike action computer generated films which have virtually no room for such and result in limited stories starved by empty flavorless script.
I don't like my own interpretation of the message behind the film however and will keep it close to my vest so as to not color your view of it or me. But I admire the consistency of the story and its timing in most all cases.
While the violence at the end was inevitable I suppose, some sort of ultimate symbol served up, the walk of the movie took me places I was glad to be along the ride. I think I would have liked to have walked a few more places with the filmmaker.
As for me I hunger for creativity of the sort that needs little death or violence to resolve a plot. I know there is much of both in our world but there is very much more which is not that finds a hard time making its symbolic entry into film as it is much easier to belittle or demean it, sort of a pacifists way of acknowledging its existence without crediting its place in the structure. Alas it has always been and will always be easier to destroy than build. This is true even in film and story.
That aside I found myself wanting to watch the story through.....wondering if the man ever ate? Wondering if the symbols I saw were of my own imagination or intended or both?
