Review of Six Degrees of Separation (1993) by Arun J — 22 Feb 2012

I am not sure what huddled intellectual social messages were bundled into this movie. I would only have to share my opinion. It was packed with references to the pretentious American high life (or if I may add, any high life that we may pretend to have) and a generic notion that we do not live life for the experience, but just as an observer, turning everything into objective facts. The one thing that we lack is imagination - Says Will Smith in the movie. We view imagination as something separate from life, but in reality imagination is the very essence of life.

Will Smith is brilliant...Brilliant literally in the movie. He is the mirror that Ouisa uses to find her acrimony that is her artificial life. I have never seen a drama so absorbing.
