Harsh Times
I just finished reading the history of comments posted in IMDB.
At first they start off just being great comments but then you find a large amount of not medium but really really bad comments (by bad I mean the writer did not like the movie). People who didn't like the movie really felt strongly about it and the main criticism I found was that it was difficult to understand (or there was nothing to understand since it was so simplistic... "jobhunt").
For myself, this movie falls into a similar slot as Requium for a Dream. So you are either thinking "what a great movie that was" or "another piece of outright bu#@%@ that I did not understand".
No need to diss the movie based on what it is or isn't teaching you (hummm... drugs are bad). Both movies are masterpieces in my view (Requiem has the upper hand though).
No, I have never been a Christian Bale fan, didn't even enjoy Batman or The Prestige too much, and don't feel his presence overshadows the rest of the crew in this movie. He did a very good piece of acting here as did the rest of the group but I particularly applaud the director (and the cinematographic director). The way the movie is pieced together is crucial and very well done here.
In the words of Jim "I see dumb people".
p.s. the one thing I didn't like was: aren't they going to find the prints on the gun? ... ?

My grandfather Titbottom stood looking on to see the passengers descend.. He fell upon it and tore it into infinitesimal pieces.. He put in a black face with a grin which divided it from ear to ear.. We are here once more confronted with the principle of the succession of instances which seems to dominate the structure of the apparatus.. He had been beaten again, humiliated before a woman, and that, too, with the best horse that he could hope to put against the ever-conquering squire.. Each one of us will have to tell his wife that the other fellow made the first abject overtures. . All right, said Buller; here's a life-preserver, and you can put it on.. Her attire was strange; whereas a woman's garb is usually groomed to the last fold, she had one of her stockings hanging down and two of her waist buttons opened. . Bangwhanger's best scholars.. The dream's means of expression must therefore be regarded as meager in comparison with those of our imagination, though the dream does not renounce all claims to the restitution of logical relation to the dream thoughts.. For this reason it was constructed after the plan of a reflex apparatus; the motility, originally the path for the inner bodily change, formed a discharging path standing at its disposal.. The driver looked down, as he drove safely off the bridge, and shook his head at the swirl of water that rushed and eddied, dark and muddy, close up under the rotten planking; then he cracked his whip, and the horses sturdily attacked the little hill.. Fluker gave consent, qualified by the claim that he was to retain a small margin for indispensable personal exigencies.. The blonde matron turned to her husband. . This ain't any use, he complained.. No matter what feelings from the otherwise inhibited Unc.. Sanks wouldn't or darsnt' to 'p'int me his dep'ty.. But age, as he used to say with a smile of immortal youth, is a matter of feeling, not of years. . This is regularly the direct representation of the wish-fulfillment; for, if we undo the displacements of the dream-work by a process of retrogression, we find that the psychic intensity of the elements in the dream thoughts is replaced by the perceptible intensity of the elements in the dream content.. There was a millinery store up the street, and thither with uncertain step he wended his way, feeling a little more elate, and altogether sociable...
