We sought a way of escape


The movie, Gigantic, is paradoxical in the worst sense, of being about small-world, admittedly messed up and weird people, who think all their own problems are gigantic (perhaps that's the title's reference??)--again, like we all do--but without changing in a satisfactory way, nor accomplishing anything worthwhile (to themselves), and refusing to face the mess in which they find themselves. And the filming is all gray, grey, dark, gray. We found a good stopping point; the girl was leaving the guy, and she might have come back, but we'll never know...or wonder.

How funny! I HATE when that happens! Anticipating a good flick and it just gets worse and worse and worse to the point you don't even care anymore what could happen...

Cute little kid 'trying to escape'

I hate grey movies. Ever notice that futuristic sci-fies that feature a man-destroyed, Godless civilization are always grey? Yuck. So not God.
