Review of Slipstream

Slipstream (2007)
Captivating on a level I don't Understand
8 March 2008
Warning: Spoilers
A little while into this film I started thinking 'wonder what IMDb message boards' are gonna say about it and am I ever going to figure out what the movie is trying to say. Anyway, I made it through the entire movie without once looking to see the time left on the movie. I was afraid to look away from the screen in case I missed something that was gonna start to make sense.

I was thinking 'I hope the DVD 'making of' has someone explaining what is going on'. But I ended up watching the whole thing, all the way through the credits, where at the end there is a sort of addendum to the ending of the film. And while the interviews kinda explained it, it also showed that every one of the actors and people making the movie all couldn't understand the script and had to read it several times.

I still haven't really figured out the exact meaning; but then I think there are several ways to look at what happened. And then there's my new impression of Anthony Hopkins that I'm never gonna get out of my head.

He wrote that script. I was kinda less afraid of him as Hannibal.

I'm looking at him in a different light now. I still find him a great actor, but then there's this other side to him.

and I never looked at the time. So I guess the movie captivated me on a level I still don't understand.
