The Fans of This Movie Need Help!
I posted this on another board, but since I actually had to fight off the desire to not throw up as I wrote about this movie, I thought maybe I should repost it here to get a little more out the effort:
Everything about this movie is terrible:
-Could not go more than 30 seconds without some grandiloquent dialogue focused on the self obsession of each and every character.
-Hilariously bad attempt to be profound at showing depressed souls and instead over shoots by a mile by treating every single moment like it was the most unbearable thing for the characters. Joyless in every sense of the word.
-Characters with an extreme case of hatred of every single millisecond of the world that not even the extremely depressed could muster up the ability to do.
-A disgusting victimized portrayal of the truly self absorbed who couldn't go more than 1 second without thinking about themselves or about how someone else made *them* feel. Everybody else is just an afterthought or a meaningless caricatures put on this Earth for nothing more than their own pleasure or destruction.
-There is no point of the entire movie where you are supposed to feel a sense of hope for anything. It's depressing at the beginning, it's depressing in the middle, and it's very depressing at the end. It's like the movie was designed to be a reverse psychologist for people. Instead of trying to uplift, it really musters every single resource in literature and film and visual techniques, plot devices, dialogue, etc. to be precisely the most depressing movie ever made. I've never seen so much effort put into this in all the cinema and art I've ever had the fortune or misfortune to witness. I don't get how people can reward a movie that is bringing everything to bare to depress you. It doesn't seem like a noble thing to reward.
-A central part of its message revolves around making victims out of people living their lives and doing good, and heroine's out of people who stop. Even if they are presented with no choice it isn't something to be revered, but instead seen as something that is extremely unfortunate and for the sake of the ones around them given the dignity to the situation that it deserves.
-Then when it's had to rely upon all of this extreme over the top devices to sell it's unbelievable bull$hit it wallows in it's own sense of hopelessness and how for these people it will never get any better so you might as well just give up trying.
-But there is a sense of hope implied for the deluded and sick people of the world that one day in some future era the world will finally come to a point where you are responsible for no one, no one will be responsible for you, you will care for no one, and no one will care for you and people will finally be freed from this bondage to be for once happy, and this manufactured, hollow and false hope the movie has is by far the most depressing thing about it.
-If this is feminist art and truth than I feel sorry for anybody that believes this bull$hit and I can only hope that they receive help for their sickness since they clearly need it.
Worst Movie ever made and that includes Mars Attacks, Eight Crazy Nights, etc.
I've now thought about this movie enough to make me want to vomit so I'll sign off on the subject now.
P.S. Into the Wild(my #2 of all time) and Away We Go(my #8 of all time) destroyed the messages of this piece of $hit movie with such ease it's truly hilarious how much effort they had to put in to get people to believe it.
