Unbelivably dull and so many weird and long vignettes that didn’t quite make sense and we’re funny.

Next year is the 80th anniversary and if they would just cut out the clutter, that would help considerably.

Security was everywhere in the theater and there were more people in the audience watching the rehearsal than I’ve ever seen before. (Gee, I wonder who has that privilege?)

It was impossible to be discreet so there was no covert picture taking.

And for the gentlemen in the audience, there’s just one thing to say, “Beyonce!” I’m telling you, however good she looks in photos or on camera, in person she is ten times more beautiful. Anyway, her number, along with her fellow performers from Dreamgirls, is worth seeing. Celine Dion and Melissa Etheridge are two other performers of note.

Be sure to watch the silhouette performers closely. Things may not appear as they seem.

Too much symbolism for him. He kept asking what the Japanese girl had to do with the whole thing.

My interpretation was that it compared polar opposite lifestyles where people had to deal with what life dealt them.

It compared a lifestyle where a girl had everything (OK, not everything — she was struggling with being a deaf/mute) and was struggling with circumstances that her life dealt her (mother’s suicide, not having a boytfriend, etc.) and two boys that had nothing who were struggling with circumstances that life dealt them.

Also, he missed a key part about Brad Pitt’s 3rd child dying from SIDS — granted, it was a little hard to hear in the movie and was only mentioned briefly once. It did help explain why the couple was “running away” and distant from each other.

I love complex movies — ones that you think about days later and suddenly find another piece that fits together that you first did not think about.

Any other interpretations?
