Gigantic: Swimming in the Deep End
I was going to do a post on Avatar after having seen it just before Christmas, however, another film recently caught my mind and I’m much more intrigued to explore it for the moment. Every once in a while, you see a film that at first leaves you thinking “well, that was odd, but I think I liked it.” While I am very into the films like those of Terry Gilliam and Michel Gondry, even I get caught off guard every once in a while. Later on, however, as the tendrils of the story sink deeper into your mind, you make suddenly wake up thinking, “wait a minute, I think I get it!” So it was when I saw Rebel Without a Cause, and so it is now after having seen Gigantic.
Overall this was a wonderful film, even if it leaves you feeling a bit off-kilter at first. There are some scenes to be careful of if you’re sensitive (read: the massage parlor), but it is worth the investment of your time and a bit of coffee afterwards. Again, beware, for spoilers follow…
