I just got round to watching the the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou,

It was bittersweet, odd, fun, sad, beautiful, and worth watching for all the wackiness and awkwardness at times.

I know its difficult to do something so odd, but well done that it feels like art. Movies started out as pieces of art like music, paintings, books and poetry, but now they seem to be just about money, simple plots and special effects.

This is not an epic movie, and i'm sure i can come up with a few films that were more enjoyable, but this felt like a movie that someone loved making. It was totally unbelievable, like a dream, but it was one that is worth trying to remeber. I don't want to see another Steve Zissou, but i want to see films filled with more passion than sense.
