Artistic, comic-book masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2006)

Amazingly there are people who don't seem to get this film. Of course it's violent, sick even. But it's funny as heck and the characters are as colourful and well-crafted as any from movie history. For God's sake, the title should tell you something about the intentions here - it's designed purely to entertain at a fairly base level. It succeeds - but it also excels in terms of innovation, writing, photography, directing, sound track and some of the best performances you will ever see. Those that protest probably do so because they fear it reflects a part of their own inner selves that they would rather ignore. There is good and evil in all humans, but those that deny their capacity for evilness are the most dangerous. Ignorance is not bliss.
This movie won't make anyone violent - probably the opposite. It won't turn us all into perverse monsters. It should make us laugh at our own stupidity, and revel in out humanity. It should make us dance and sing. It is the ultimate in human entertainment and I warn you now - beware those that misunderstand or denounce this movie, for it is they that pose the greatest danger to our society.
