Breakfast on Pluto [2005]

1. Kitten is out in the rain, looking at a group of televisions in the window of a shop. An elderly gentleman with an umbrella watches. Then says to Kitten, “William Holden and Jennifer Jones.”
2. Kitten throws the guns off the edge of the cliff into the lake, muttering, “Spring cleaning.”
3. The foil seal on the milk bottle has two holes in it. Kitten pours milk into the two teacups.

My reaction to this movie: eh.

Cillian Murphy is fantastic and there some striking scenes, but it’s about half an hour too long and tricked out with all sorts of flashy frippery that can’t disguise the fact that we’ve seen this story a million times. Jordan’s decision to use a strongly subjective POV (like the original novel, I’m assuming) is his undoing. A more straightforward presentation of these characters would be a lot more interesting to watch I think. As it is everything is a bit too “fairy tale.”
