To be honest, this is the first time I ever write a review of a movie. And this beginning is a tough one—with an Oscar winner as its subject, surrounding which there is considerably controversy over the values it has questioned, the thoughts it tried to implicitly convey, and the art of the movie itself.
The following discussion will go on as a dissection of this movie into several aspects. This dissection is, however, necessarily incomprehensive, and I would just try to make it a original review in the eyes of a busy, yet inspirational student of science who, from time to time, glances at the palace of arts with admiration and, more importantly, love.
