'It will obliterate your senses!' reports David Gillin, who obviously writes autobiographically. — Roger Ebert. American film critic and author (1942–2013) Movies
I arrive at the end of this review having done my duty as a critic. I have described the movie accurately and you have a good idea what you are in for if you go to see it. Most of you will not. I cannot argue with you. Some of you will--the brave and the curious. You embody the spirit of the man who first wondered what it would taste like to eat an oyster.
What makes us men is that we can think logically. What makes us human is that we sometimes choose not to.
I believe we are born with our minds open to wonderful experiences, and only slowly learn to limit ourselves to narrow tastes. We are taught to lose our curiosity by the bludgeon-blows of mass marketing, which brainwash us to see 'hits,' and discourage exploration.
