The movie started with nothing but still grey sky for the first five minutes, and then still blue sky for the next five, with a slightly pretentious voice talking about a dream. Ten minutes of nothing on the screen, but I decided to carry on since I'm also eating dinner. Maybe it's just artsy and me, a mortal, can't understand it. But I ended up fast forward for many times. The director of this movie(I reluctantly call it so) tried her best to make something deep, thought provoking, political and philosophical. Wittgenstein was quoted at a point,911 was mentioned a lot. But what she really did was to weave a superficial, self-satisfying monologue about life and death, dogs, and whatever else there is along with bad, amateur camera work. She forgot about her audience. This is not for others, it's for herself. She turned the movie into a bad abstract art that has a weak conveying power. Not impressed.
