In a sense, the movie is correct; reality is truly what we make it. We shape our perception and ideas of the way the world around us is until it becomes what we want it to be.
As a piece of entertainment and thought provocation, it becomes very successful. I've found myself thinking about the Caribbean natives who "couldn't see" Columbus' ships on the horizon - a historical myth, in fact, but an interesting thought nonetheless - and as a result, have tried to see things I can't see in the past several days.
Seeing Sideways, so to speak.
No alien Columbus sailing in on his space-Nina, though. Sadly.
So what is an altered book?
