[from the novel by Vonnegut]; One of Vonnegut's strongest novels, due to its autobiographical essence. Protagonist survives the Allied firebombing of Dresden, and suffers anger at his side for wiping out one of the museum-cities of old Europe, plus survivor's guilt. The protagonist bares his soul to the extraterrestrial Tralfamadorians, who live somehow outside of time, and thus disrupt this film from any pretense of a linear plot (intentionally).
