Insomnia, trying to stay awake

May 30 2002, 11:54 PM 

For whatever reason the one scene that I really liked was when Pacino was on his way to the lake house in the jeep, freaks out after a flashback to a previous encounter with a honking semi in which he was playing chicken with it. He tries to avoid the semi again and spins the truck around several times before looking around to see an empty road in each direction.

I did not think it was all that bad of a movie, it was worth it to see Pacino play the role. It did get kind of lame, but good thing I have a great imagination. If I am in a movie and it is boring I just start to rewrite the script in my head seeing things that are never in the movie at all, feeding off the movie to entertain myself. Delusional, perhaps, but it works, I was entertained.

here's the deal with Chris Nolan, he tries to disorient his audience. He did it with memento by making the movie run backwards. He did it in this movie by having 24-hour sunlight. What this movie really is, is film-noir (detective, all that stuff, good cop bad cop.) but instead of using the shadows and darkness the way old film-noir did, it uses the flooding light. Also, the whole streets wet thing was kind of a subtle clue that it was noir, cause in old noir films the streets and sidewalks were always wet to make it look more dramatic. FYI-Todd said he didn't know what the quick shots of weird stuff were. It's Al Pacino framing that guy back in the day who did something to the kid (I saw the movie a long time ago). It shows him rubbing the blood into his clothes and then the fibers of the clothes absorbing the blood. Just thought i'd like to help
