The best movie of 1999

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2000)

Hands down, I loved this movie better than any one that I have seen this year. I saw it before it came out for the first time. I went in like everybody else, not knowing what it was about. I laughed until I cried from being so offronted with audacity. It was funnier than anything I saw, including South Park, Election, and Go. It was a brave new movie that challenged how all movies were made, in general.
All of the actors and actresses in this movie seemed to know what Jonze was going for. They all acted psychotic and unbelievable in a movie that was psychotic and unbelievable. There is absolutely no realism to this movie, nor does it ever attempt to be a realistic movie. From the surreal intro to the creepy ending, this movie never strayed from way out of left field. It stayed its course, and everybody who hates this be damned.
I really would love to spill the beans about everything in this movie, it is so wonderful...but I can't. I can't even give away any basic plot points. I went in blind and appreciated it all the more for going in blind that I do it now with all of my movies. I will go in blind, except knowing about performances or genres. I almost started this paragraph spilling plot points that are basic, but I deleted them. Go in and be surprised.
However, I cannot recommend this movie to everybody. This is a brash movie that will shock and offend some in ways that they have not imagined. It is a black comedy, darker than most. However, there is no death in this movie. It takes its humor from better, more intellectual sources than that. But, it is dark, and most will hate the movie for being brash, and not having many likeable characters. However, the rest will love this movie for being brave, brash, and unlike anything we've ever experienced before.----------------10
