what story problems are there? if you don't mind sharing.
Well, it seems to me, that the film is about people trying desperately to fulfill their dreams. The main problem I see is what exactly their dreams were, are dropped from the film quite abruptly......then they added reminders later. Since their dreams are related to the central theme, it would be useful if we clearly understood them....'what's their story?'
What happened to the clothing design shop? That's the the couples big dream....it's mentioned twice and then dropped completely. It seemed like they added the photo montage of them in the shop just to fill this forgotten gap. The same thing with Wayans character. It seems like they realized, we knew little to nothing about him....hardly any character development...and so they added footage later with him as a boy with his mother, once when he was playing with 'his new mirrors', and again at the end. All of these seem inserted, and maybe even shot after filming ended, to tie up the loose ends. Maybe they planned it this way but it seems like a fix to me.
We are supposed to feel for these characters loosing their dreams, but their dreams are mentioned haphazardly and only a few times.
That said, I know I'm a film snob and most of the time I'm full of crap.
p.s. has anyone noticed the yellow color fades added to frame up the sequences in the begining (as they push the t.v.) they have such a great effect on the composition.
