Imposters trying to disguise themselves as cliches amongst all the other comfortably cliched cliques

Somewhere
I went to watch the film 'Somewhere', by Sofia Coppola and really liked it because it showed me exactly what i expected of it. Then I kept realising more reasons later why i liked it so much.
- It's perfectly empty of try-hard superlative portrayals and declarations. It doesn't try to be epic.
- It's structure isn't determined by the principle of growth, which is only really hinted at momentarily in the Hollywood actor guy by the arrival, but mainly departure of his daughter.
- The whole film is a level-plane throughout; nothing really improves or worsens for any of the characters.
- Every single character is pseudo-accomplished and unheroic.
-There are no baddies to relish or goodies to apsire to.
- It's midway between the everyday and an art experience.
And the only thing to slightly defy all those things i just said is the daughter Cleo; she improves her dad's situation; makes him less numb to himself and then that results in the tiny hint of personal growth at the end.
I wrote that cos i think i'm gonna use it for uni.
