So it seems like they are sadly both just lost in a fantastical world of severe mental health issues and using a specially ‘formulated’ drug as escapism. He falls for it and they seem to both think hurting others for fun is well…fun. She tells him over and over that they are just simulations of people/places and simply through the power of his mind, he can make them do all sorts of crazy things like fall down or crash as they are just in his head. She presents herself as the solution to his problems and begins to tell him some fantastical stories that most of the people he sees and the situations he’s in, aren’t real. Because of this silliness we also see Greg lose his job and end up at the bar across the street where some very odd, crazy things begin to happen.Įnter in Isabel Clemons ( Salma Hayek), who seems to know everything there is to know about Greg Wittle in a almost stalker type way, yet he loves this odd fact. We see Greg at work at a seemingly high profile job, yet he’s spends his day drawing pictures of what he envisions as the ‘perfect world’ along with drawings of a woman. His son Arthur ( Jorge Lendenborg Jr.), on the other hand, doesn’t seem to care one bit about him or what happens to him in the slightest. Let me try to explain.įirst off, all we can be sure of our lead character is that Greg Wittle ( Owen Wilson) is newly divorced and that he misses his family, most particularly his daughter Emily ( Nesta Cooper), who is worried about him. It has a lot of difficulty focusing on what it is Cahill is actually going for. In an already overcrowded movie fueled month, along with it being Black History Month, I’ve a feeling this one just isn’t going to find it’s footing with too many audiences. To be completely candid here, I’m not really sure what Director Mike Cahill is trying to say or where he is going with “BLISS”, his latest feature coming out on Amazon Prime this Friday, February 5th.
