being human

this movie, which is a series of short stories, is pretty bad. it jumps around from different time periods and tells different stories about a man who is in love, each man is played by robin williams, so its a bit strange. we start off with a simple man who's wife is taken by vikings, then we jump to the story of a slave who must die with his master in ancient rome. the next story is of a spanish conquistador who must save his crew from a shipwreck, and a story set in modern day. each setting is meant to draw us closer and closer in to the man who must try and become brave. in each story he is presented with a difficult situation that he must stand up against. in each progressive vignette shows the man getting more and more bold in his courage. this might have been a pretty interesting movie if it werent for the narrator! she totally ruins the feel of the film and her mindless meanderings ruined the entire movie for me. if they had ditched the terrible voice over, it probably would have gotten at least two more stars...
