no.155 Changeling
Great acting all around. Although Angie had me sold, her scene throwing Northcott up against the wall was a little too action-Angie and a little out of character. Malcovich was able to turn that sneering typecast in a weird twist that really worked.

Yes, it's my favorite Aussie, but who can resist this silly time travel rom-com when surfing the vastness of my cable selection? Nothing spectacular, but it's one of Meg Ryan's last decent films.

See multiple entries: Darren Aronofsky is amazing, he does so much with so little. I can't believe this was made on 60k. I haven't seen this in ages and I'm so amazed this is where he started. Honestly, his presence is so powerful that I forget he has only done a few films.
It's hard to delineate where Max's obsession and health crisis begins and ends, which you can also say for Sol's strokes. Self awareness, whether it be the men or the computer (how weird is the literal melting of the silicone?) is our impending meltdown brought on by beating our heads against the wall, trying to solve the same problems over and over only to find ourselves in this giant loop?
I think Max needed to disconnect in terms of survival of the fittest. Max does haven't a gun, but he's got the name of God. The film doesn't get into politics, but religion and money. So many groups claim God is on the side - Max is making sure that gun isn't pointed at anyone else by "disconnecting" or removing the knowledge, the number, the name, from his head. He no longer holds the key, he isn't sought after, although, he is the fittest.
