I've seen thousands of movies (literary!), and I have no troubles with watching movies which are different. What troubles me are boring movies. A film can be about everything without being boring. Even everyday life and work. But a film about everyday life needs a plot or a point to it. I guess this film is about world wide connections, and about the world and making money to fulfill people's dreams. In a sick world. And it's A film with lots of use of mobile phones. More or less pointless. Maybe there's a connection I don't get here. I'm used to look out for details in film, proving to be important pieces of the film puzzle later on in the movie. Here there's much pointless things happening that it ruins the experience. The important thing here appends in the last half hour, and they are made almost unimportant. I find that almost provoking to both the viewer and to the actors doing their best in this.
Still, I have to say I'm not that sure about the theme. Did I understand it? Because I feel more and more empty while watching this. The opposite of what I expected, and it annoys me. And it is getting worse and worse. The script might be confusing, or just uninteresting. I didn't want to watch a film witch could have been my own working day or holiday. I really don't buy that these people are so bored.
This is absolutely a great idea, but it's not well made. The cutting rhythm is so annoying, that it seems unprofessional. The tedious focusing of the camera is a Moodyson trade marque, and it functions well in a couple of his movies, but here it's not that suitable.
I've enjoyed some of Moodysons earlier films, but I found this very unfulfilled. Some of his work has been both good and important. But this is far off. The cutting is annoying, and so is the actors, and the music. Not a good way to start, but the worst is that the film music promises something exciting, which really never happens. The aim characters are living quite interesting lives, but we almost are bored with they're every day life.
Mammoth is a film which should be buried in the ice like the Mammoths. Hope Moodysons gets well soon!
