I ma sure this has been posted a million times before, but this movie is amazing. I am listening to 'Mad World' by Gary Jules right now on repeat before I go to bed and it hits me like a ton of bricks.

Anyone else feel this passionately about this movie and this song?

i liked it as well but i haven't seen it in a while and i've already forgot about all the analysis i had to put into trying to figure it out and i can't remember what it was really about anymore. i should watch it again it'll probably come back to me.

I saw this film a couple of weeks ago. I was severely disappointed.

Great movie if you want something original and interesting. Try watching it at 4 AM so that the sun is coming up when you finish it.

I absolutely adore this movie, though the Director's Cut was kind of a waste, in my opinion.

interesting and well-crafted, but frankly there's more fuss about this movie than there should be, imo

i agree, it seems to be one of those movies that everybody thinks, "well a lot of people say it's genius, so i should think that too"

I didn't "get" it, so my friend had to explain it to me after the movie ended. Pretty good though.

DD is awesome.

But the Tears For Fears version of Mad World is five million times better than Gary Jules.
