Slaughterhouse-Five
Slaughterhouse Five is based on the novel by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr, which I have not had the chance to read to compare the move and book. So my observation is only from watching the movie. I had no idea what the movie was about, and had only heard of the novel.
The basic premise of the film is that this guy is “unstuck” in time. He travels through time in his life but he has no control over it.
The movie is kinda fail. I think the book might be much better. There was a lot of plot holes and a lot of general time travel inconsistencies. The acting was ok. I’m not sure how this movie was nominated for a Golden Globe.
What I would really like to see is this movie remade with today’s technology. I think it would be quite awesome. I really would like to hear your comments on this movie and what you thought of it. Am I missing something as to the movie’s greatness? I don’t know, please comment!

I really like your writing style, its not generic and extremly long and tedious like a lot of blog posts I read, you get to the point and I really enjoy reading your articles! Oh, and merry Christmas!

Yes, you missed the point. Read the novel. It isn’t a science fiction film. it is an anti-war film and novel. It is about disassociating oneself from the horror of war and the futility of free will.

yeah, “which I have not had the chance to read to compare the move and book. So my observation is only from watching the movie.”
I do need to read it.
