What is not to understand?

Rating: 9/10 (27 July 2000)

This is definitely one of the best films ever made and certainly one of my favourites, but I've read alot of negative reviews here. One main whine among commentors is that they dont get it, stating they dont understand why people think it's funny. This is a DARK comedy, a BLACK comedy. The people who say this isnt funny are the same people who said Dr. Strangelove wasnt funny when it appeared.
Why is it funny? The main comic quality i found, rests on Steve Buscemi's character ("How the F--k do you split a f-----g car you dummy? With a f------g chainsaw?") that still kills me. It's a display of every possible aspect of movie emotion. Comedy, romance, anger, greed... it's all here. As everyone knows, it isnt for everyone. But some people got it, and thats whats important.
