film by sean penn with jack nicholson in lead role...
im lovin this film and have seen it for like 5 times
already, but today it was the first time i was actually
wondering if jack was right - it doesnt change anything
about it, but does anyone know?

I have also seen it and it was a long time ago so I can't
really remember it.

Of course he was right, you idiot. You've seen it five
times, have you? Next time watch it with your eyes open.

thanks, yeah, everything seemed obvious, but still there's
some doubt...i mean if sean would have wanted us to be that
sure im sure he could have shown that in a way more obvious
way

but yeah, lets say he was right :)

Yeah.. next time Sean could end the film with jack carring a
big billboard saying "I WAS RIGHT!". At least he's trying to
grant the film viewers with a modicum of inteligence. That
could be a problem for some people, though.

here's what i think (and if you saw any other penn's films
you could think about it), whether jack was right or not
wasnt really the point of this film, so i guess penn left
that to each viewer to decide for himself...it would have
the same ending in both cases - if jack was right and in
case he wasnt right. also, the guy who died in an accident
was probably going to meet that girl, but was he going to
kill her? most likely, but how can you be so certain?

btw, im sure there's lot of symbolism involved, but im not
that religious person, so if you could just point out some
clues it would be great

Pretty forgetable but probably worth seeing again. Quite a
lot of drama and tension to it. Liked the concept a lot
though but could have been executed a touch better. But yeah
not a bad movie. Oops I contradicted myself.
