Don't bother even trying, you can search the meaning of this movie online and get a million different theories with all of them making just as much sense as the last one. When I first saw this flick I was amazed, as I get older I see it as sloppy film making.

it's great, but it's fucked up. it does make sense, but it requires a fuck load of explaining. i've watched it about 5 times, and i think i managed to get it all to sit right last time.

fuck... i just wrote half a long winded explanation, then realised that it was all a bit garbled. i think i need to watch again, this time with a notepad. there are definitely bits i understand, although i was on ket last time i watched it, so maybe not...

It's a pretty fucked up movie.  I'm not entirely sure I understood it.

I listened to the directors commentary and even he wasn't entirely sure what was going on half the time.

I saw it a while ago and I immediately thought what a pretentious piece of garbage.

I understood it for the most part, although it took about 3 viewings. The directors cut is a better at explaining what it going on. It's a very interesting movie.

Shitty movie.  Well, maybe not shitty, but not nearly worthy of all the good things everyone says about it.  Movies that make you think are one thing, but not knowing what the hell is going on isn't the same.  The worst part is, you still don't know what the hell is going on even after the credits roll.

Hehe I enjoyed it :P

As it turns out it's a pretty good movie to watch with a chick ;D You both watch it, you're both confused, and amid the turmoil sex makes the most sense! :P

I liked it. It doesn't make much sense the first time you watch it but it kept me entertained during the movie, and well after I saw it too.
