Ok, an honest disagreement. There is a reason

formulas exist: since you cannot sit for a 72-hour spectacle, the director is forced to present a "finished" product in the space of a few hours.
Anyhow, you felt the character was worth knowing about, I didn't. He destroyed a relationship and his life for what? Penn is saying that it was for NOTHING. In other words, Nicholson's entire effort was absurd, pointless. He failed. The murderer "won."
Sorry, but that happens in "real life" enough. We want to see a guy triumph over adversity. You know, the old Oscar Wilde saying, "We're all lying in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars."
Penn is looking at the shit. Just cause it's depressing, nihilistic, and negative doesn't make it "art," avant-garde, or worthwhile.
