Thomas Henry Huxley

That my personality is the surest thing I know may be true. But the attempt to conceive what it is leads me into mere verbal subtleties. I have champed up all that chaff about the ego and the non-ego, noumena and phenomena, and all the rest of it, too often not to know that in attempting even to think of these questions, the human intellect flounders at once out of its depth...

Okay, so I liked the movie. A lot. I know some people hated it, and I heard complaints about the hand-held camera and the way its use made it seem like the movie-makers were striving for an 'amateurish' look --nonsense.

I found the hand-held camera, offering at times only glimpses of the action and events, to be extremely effective. It was the most bizzardly and blatently horrifying thing I have seen in a long time, and only being able to look away into the comfort of the theatre setting held the reality of it in check. Very intense.

It's not often I can sit in a theatre and care about the characters within 20-30 minutes, but again the hand-held was responsible for that bit of vested interest. The camera itself, not just its operator, is a character and through its 'eye' we get to know these people in a very real and harsh way.

Very cool.
