Short Cuts Movie

I think the movie did not work well. It was interesting to see so many popular faces in a movie that I have never heard of before, but the movie was hard to follow. The movie tried to take on too much for one film. It becomes frustrating to try to follow that many story lines in one movie. An audience identifies with a main character in a story and then enjoy watching that character face his trials and hopefully overcome them. This film does not allow you that pleasure, it offers too many characters to really identify with any one single person. This becomes tedious as the movie seems to drag on for ages, with no real connection between the characters. However considering that they were working with seven individual stories, it was well done. Though I did not care for the movie, I respect the amount of time and effort that was obviously needed to produce this film. I do not think that it is a good idea to try to do so much in one film, and I think this movie is a perfect example of why it should not be attempted.
