Yes, it’s confusing, but I think that’s part of the point; I don’t see how else Gaghan could have made the movie, because if he’d explained any further, it would have been 1) five hours long, and 2) boring.Great acting, as well, although I don’t know why Clooney is being mentioned for an Oscar nod.He’s good, but in his usual way, and not outstanding compared to the rest of the cast (or other prospective nominees).(1/30/06)
