ayeshabrown The low rating of this film come from the people who do not properly understand the many interpretations of it. Haggis presents a writer who is struggling to deal with the death of his infant son. He begins composing a story focusing on the characters circumstance (example: James Franco's character being a rich artist, The american guy being a spy etc) to distance himself from it. But as the film goes on the audience is again again questioning is this real? Due to the seemingly non-existent connection to the set of characters we are led to believe they are connected by just a piece of paper. However at the end when Liam Neeson is chasing after Oliva Wilde and she becomes the other characters we realise that Liam's character has created this to help him cope. Trust is a theme throughout, that is again and again touched upon but rounds up to at the end as being the colour white. Wilde's white dress, the milk the end, the flowers. In my opinion, Liam Neeson's character Michael sets himself up in different scenarios to safely explore what is would be like if a) he had cheated but his child hadn't died. b) He tried to forgive himself resulting in him losing everything. All in all it was a great movie up for interpretation, I particularly enjoyed the explosive relationship between Micheal and Anna.

Ravid Wow great movie. Spoiler alert !!! Don't read this if you haven't seen the film and intend to.It seems like 4 different story lines but something Dident add up, Mila cunis was in NY and the writer in Paris so how was it that she was in the same hotel room as the writer? This made me suspect something other then a linear storyline... Also when the Adrian brody character and the writer had an almost similar accident... Then the car with Moran and Adiran despaired i kinda knew thease where figments of the writer's imagination...so what was the real story? Only the writer? Was his lover even real? If not why was his wife blaming him on speeking to the lover while the boy was in the pool? Or did he talk to the publisher? Hell I don't know... It seemed like the writer was trying to make things right again in his mind. Good film

M Great cast (you would think) but yet I found myself being incredibly frustrated by the characters. What a flop of a movie. Movies like this tend to ruin movie watching for me because for it to have been released means that a team of individuals whom I used to trust to pick great roles and make good films signed off on this crap. They maybe even bragged about it which is worse considering how terrible this movie really is. I watched without bias but yet again I felt annoyed for having sat through the whole thing until the end. I didn't pay for this so there's at least that but I sill felt like I should've been compensated for wasting my time watching this. Another BAD MOVIE from Hollywood. Odd how none of these A listers put their hands up and respectfully declined. Who could've read this script and been like "Yes! I want this on my resume"?! Crap from top to bottom. Thanks for nothing cast and crew and of course Paul..can't forget you in all this. Know when to shut it down, regroup, refocus and/or just toss a script in the trash. I really didn't appreciate this movie as you can see and it's unfortunately left a terrible taste in my cinematic mouth that will have me thoroughly check out any movies with skepticism from all involved in this junk.

Floated2 Third Person (2014) is written and directed by Paul Haggis, the award-winning filmmaker who, in 2006, became the first screenwriter to write two Best Film Oscar winning films back-to-back, Million Dollar Baby (2004) directed by Clint Eastwood, and Crash (2005) which he directed himself. Liam Neeson plays a 50-ish Pulitzer-Prize winning writer, Michael, who has left his wife (Kim Basinger) and is holed up in an elegant Paris hotel room, attempting the new novel that will resurrect his failing career. Constantly writing and editing, Michael struggles with his book. As we watch him write, some of his conversations appear verbatim on his computer. Here we may be wondering whether we are viewing fragments of his novel come alive or whether his writing is more nonfiction than one would think. In the end, the viewers get a glance at everything taken place. The ending is well done as it can interpreted in several different ways.
