Brilliant

This has to be about the best movie out in the last year or so. It was absolutely fascinating. It was really witty and very funny as well making an incisive comment on society today. What it said about the role and problems of men in todays world were most thought-provoking.
I had been quite prepared not to like the movie after many most unfavourable reviews which would lead one to expect the violence to be most offensive. But this was not the case. The violence was quite subsidiary in many ways. It was only used to support the main premise of the story - that men are cut off from real feeling by the life that we all lead today.

We have been encouraged to believe that men and women should have no differences. This is plainly ludicrous but society and education have built up this myth. Men have been undermined from their natural role and in this been emasculated. This really comes over in the film. Wonderful - all this and Brad Pitt too!! - too much!!
