Space / Time Drifter...
First off, I've never read the book. That said, I must say that what I find most intriguing about the Billy Pilgrim character (Michael Sacks) in SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE is how much of a true pilgrim he is. He is unhitched from time, while simultaneously, due to his own pleasant personality and...

Life in the Slaughterhouse
Film adaptions of novels (from Madame Bovary to Catch 22) have proved how easy failure transcends effort. However, The film version of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five proves the exception: graceful, smartly directed and beautifully acted. Rediscover a real treasure and see this film.

Dresden POW and the Heart of Space
This movie is about the battle of the Bulge, POW life in Dresden during its firebombing, wealthy life in New England, and then eternity on a fictional planet. It is a bit Dadaesque. There are a few flashbacks and flash forwards. The tone of the film is nihilistic and irreverent, which is the...

Better than the book...
I love Kurt Vonnegut, and own nearly everything the man has written, mostly dog earned and yellowed after far too many readings. I was at first skeptical, however after viewing this film I can say that never before have I seen a piece of prose transformed into a work of like this. The...

So It Goes
Read Vonnegut's novel whether or not you see this film, but if you do decide to see or purchase this movie you'll be grateful you read the book first. On the other hand, if seeing the film induces you to read the novel, all the better. Count the number of times Vonnegut writes, "So it goes." As...

Pretty Good...
I don't think Kurt Vonnegut's books can really be done justice by movies, mostly because his writing style and ideas are just so out there, but this is probably as close as someone will get to it. I'd give it five stars, if not for the fact that Vonnegut's greatest character, jaded impoverished...

Most Interesting, Captivating and Thought-Provoking Movie!
I just love the movie. More thought-provoking than 2001: A Space Oddessy. Makes one think of Time Travel without the use of Time Machines. Some humourous moments. Excellent Philosophy: Ignore the bad moments and remember the good moments in one's life.However, one problem, poorly packed, jewel...

Okay, but the book is better
I usually try to read a book before seeing the movie version. In this case, I'm really glad I did. The movie is ok, but the book is much better. In all fairness, it seems as though it would be difficult to convert this from a novel to a movie.
