The Man Who Wasn't There

We watched a recording of The Man Who Wasn't There. This black and white movie starring Billy Bob Thornton as a barber, who’s longing for something more leads to several murders and deaths, was interesting and subtle in its charms. I enjoyed the acting and the writing. In particular, I enjoyed the narration.

The movie is set in the 50’s in a small California town. It is interesting to see how just a little dissatisfaction can lead to such a dire outcome. Some may find the pace a little slow, but on my scale of 1-100, I rate it a 77.
