I Heart Huckabees (2004)

Rating: * 1/2 (Out of 5)

It so wannabe intellectual, philosophical, and original, but it is pretentious and illogical. A waste of talent.

My pick of the Netflix comment: "Apparently some folks don't understand what's at stake in this wonderful film. It represents the battle between eastern and western visions of the world; or more properly between asceticism and existentialism. Is it better to avoid suffering by withdrawing connection from the world, read Buddhism (or knocking yourself in the head!), or to fully engage in the world with the suffering that entails (read existentialism or having intimate but dangerous relationships). It is the essential question of one who thinks about how to live life: it is Hesse's Narcissus and Goldman on celluloid (well on DVD at least)."

Thank you for enlightening me.
