Ode to humanity

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2000)

Weakness. This is a movie about human weakness, that thing that give us our humanity. Carolyn, Mister Fitts and Angela are those who don't want to admit their weakness. Carolyn needs to have an inner double, who can be angry with her, as she feels weak. The kiss given by Mr Fitts to Lester is a clue of the weakness of a man, who loved nazis theories for their strength and hated homosexuals, the weakest people in the world. Angela invents a lot of sexy stories to erase that virginity never lost. Lester was a "false strong", but he tried to be real (and weak) and to let discover to the others their humanity, made of weakness too. But no one wants to be considered weak and this is the cause of his death. I think that this movie is like a cane, which remains on the heart and makes us reflect about what we are.
