The reality is that this is a story about a very lonely man, Hank, who runs away and finds himself on a 'deserted' island simply due to the fact that he is depressed about the way his life has turned out.
I think what the point of the film is really just very obvious. Whether it's thanks to Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe's performance, the surreal elements of the story, the writing, there's just something about this movie that I liked quite a bit. And, in spite of some of its sentimentality in the third act, it's a movie that I really enjoyed. Because it doesn't just fit into one neat little genre. The reason I bring this up is that, yes, there's no real easy way to describe this movie. There's obviously been many more movies that have defied all genre descriptions, but Save the Green Planet is the one that comes to mind right at this moment. There's also, at least as far as I'm concerned, no other movie like it out there. And, in spite of trying to be all of those things at once, and then some, it was a movie that I fell in love with.
It was a horror movie, it was a comedy, it was sci-fi, it was surreal and it was romance. I remember watching a small South Korean movie, called Save the Green Planet, that was so many things at once. There's few movies I see that completely and utterly defy description of what sort of genre they may belong in.
