"Bubble," the second time around.

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

It held up beautifully, with lots of connections this time which a first time viewing made impossible. This film has been called a gem and that's a perfect metaphor: it is perfectly cut so the facets reflect off one another creating a brilliance and depth.
The four principals all are amateurs from the small W. Virginia town whom Soderbergh got together, explained the plot as A to B to C, and then he left them to their own devices to construct the connections.
When you view this film, the impacts are far more poweful because it not only has the ring of authenticity--- it is truth.
More importantly, this film depicts what, for millions of Americans, is reality: dead-end jobs and the cooperativeness that makes survival possible.
Don't misunderstand, there is no preachiness nor is this a "political" film. But, like all great works of art, it is far more than the sum of its parts and it resonates like a punch to the jawbone.
