People say this movie was the best but I think it's pretty messed up. There was too much whining constantly in each characters and like we are seeing A - List celebrities Jerry Lewis, Faye Dunaway and Johnny Depp being involved in this! I think storyline is so badly wrong, there is lot of whinging about being cougars and sugar daddies yet then they are imagining a fish which is meant to be sacred! That's like trying to catch a fish for dinner, never mind worshiping it! I am really disappointed with this movie because I was so looking forward to seeing Jerry Lewis and Johnny Depp teaming up. It just looks like it didn't work out for me that I didn't enjoy it nor liked it regardless if they were there or not!

If this movie were my dream, I would say that it is absolutely crazy and I wouldn't want to dream this again. Seems like this movie has a lot of story lines and I would like to say that too much. One moment I'm trying to understand one scene, but it's quite difficult because there are more than one story lines in one scene. Everything would be fine if those story lines were very clear, but they weren't. Actually, some scenes seemed silly for me. I love mind blowing movies, but this one... Yes, it is mind blowing, but I can't say that I liked it. I think it is too far from reality. Yes, this movie helped for Johnny Depp, helped to grow up like an actor, helped for his career path, but only he can say why and how, because I can't understand. Axel (Johnny Depp) was very passive character. He kept a close watch on everything. This movie balance between reality and fantasy. Personally, I prefer reality... By the way, some scenes looked unnecessary. Plot is too wide. Of course, this is my opinion. Watch this movie and make your own decision.

I was Best Boy on this show. The most pleasant movie experience I've had. Gunnison, Nome (in Feb!), Douglas AZ, Nogales AZ, and a ranch near the Mexican border. I just saw the Director's Cut last night in L.A. ------ Where is the 1000' mag Steadicam shot?! We built an entire cyclorama stage in the alley behind the auto dealer, painted outerspace, rigged a Caddy on a forklift, lit it big (including the only Titan arcs that Mole Richardson had working at the time), and flew a wall up and down for various parts of the 10:00 shot. It was great. Where is it!? That scene took lots of work, time, thought, rehearsal, and we were all very proud of it. I think we did 3 takes, and at dailies (upstairs in the deserted department store next to the hotel) the whole crew was thrilled. Where is that shot?!?!?!?!!?

Emir's first movie in the United States "Arizona Dream" is a magnificent movie that wrongfully never got the credit it undoubtedly deserved.As a matter of fact it is one of his most underrated movies.Personally i esteem Arizona Dream as Kusturica's best movie as well as one of the best movies of all time.It is about the dreams people have,the everyday routine that drives everyone crazy,as well as the most difficult issue in life:the human relationships...Arizona Dream is an original,pure,pristine masterpiece.An ode to every man's sensorineural.Just let yourself feel the magic of this epic and just keep on dreaming...
