  • Final Comment:
    • Killian L: Although it seems the film has a positive message given some afterthought, all the insaneness portrayed with little censorship makes this move almost unbearable for the typical person. If you are going to watch this movie, try to watch it as a comedy or as a warning for the future, otherwise you would be better off watching a less disturbing movie. If you are interested in watching a Kubrick production, pick The Shining.
