Advantages: important themes and beautiful songs
Disadvantages: I can't think of any

...forever royal Erika: I'll repay my parent's debt BOTH: Duty means doing the things your heart may well regret Anneliese: But I'll never stop believing Erika: She can never stop my schemes BOTH: There's more to living than gloves and gowns and threads and seams In my dreams I'll be free Notice how despite their desire for freedom they both decide not to obey their desire and remain faithful to their status expectations.

Advantages: A strong visual style and an intense central performance.
Disadvantages: A lack of plot.

...that also appears on the soundtrack, so it isn't quite a solid body of work. "The Science of Sleep" is a film that will appeal more to true dreamers that wish they really could live in their daydreams. It is a great visual feat, showing Gondry's strong personal style that evokes the childhood joys of "Fingerbobs" and "Bagpuss" thanks to its make-and-do style. But if you're looking for a movie with a strong narrative thrust and easily understandable characters, this is not for you.

Bill is determined to get DOROTHY into a twister before Jonas can claim credit for the idea so he joins Jo and her team of storm chasers.

I found the story line was quite weak and in parts I was a bit bored. Bill and Jo had a few too many EXTREMELY close encounters with death for it to be completely believable. I'm not saying that it wasn't true to life as I don't know how many times a tornado chaser almost encounters death (a good few I'd imagine!) but most of the film seemed... Read review
