Not my kind of Movie, but there is an audience for it.

Rating: 2/10 (1 May 2011)

South Park; Bigger, Longer and Uncut is classified as an animated comic, musical. Released in 1999.The stars of the show are nothing more than cut out paper figures made from colorful construction paper.
South Park; Bigger, Longer and Uncut is about a group of third graders who bribe a homeless guy to buy their movie passes so that they can get into a foreign film called "Asses of Fire" starring two Canadians by the names of Terrance and Phillip. The film "Asses of Fire" has been rated "R" by the MPAA. This goes to show you that there are always ways of getting around the established rules in life. The movie is filled with obnoxious farting and swearing set to music so that it can also be considered a musical. As a result of the children seeing the movie, which they consider totally awesome, they themselves immediately begin mimicking what they have just seen by incorporating the foul language into most every conversation from that moment on. Of course they go to school using their new found persona and the parents are notified immediately. Kenny sets himself on fire by trying to light a fart as a result he dies, of course.
The reactions of the parents bring on an all out world war. The parents accomplish this by putting all of the blame on Canada because that is where Terrance and Phillip are from. The President of the United States declares war. Canadians become enemies to everyone accept of course Eric Cartman(Trey Parker), Stan Marsh(Trey Parker) and Kyle Brosloski and Kenny McCormick(Matt Stone), who must now save the world.
Satan is portrayed as a gay wimp that is involved with Saddam Hussein. Because this film was made in 1999, Hussein was still alive then, who knew just how ironic that would end up. Satan and his bed partner decide that the war up top has given them the edge to take over the world.
There is a lot being said that is of a political nature by the writers underneath the mask of these characters. Even though watching this type of film was very disturbing to me, I realized that there were some issues embedded throughout the film that deserve mention: There are religious fanatics that want to put the blame on someone and punish them for everything in the world that goes wrong. In the process they themselves afflict pain onto others which is supposed to be God's job.
The issue of censorship, if people do not want to watch something they have a choice not to. They do not have the right to tell others what to choose. And even if children are underage, if they really want to do something they will find a way to do it. Children usually mimic what they see, especially by their parents.
Prejudice against any group of individuals, this film is riddled with the irony of prejudice. The very mother waging war had an adopted child that is a Canadian. This type of film reminds me of Beavis and Butthead which is another show that I have never watched in its entirety because I couldn't get past the content.
The use of colorful construction paper has merit for visual appeal and because of it lighting was not really an issue. There wasn't any special lighting needed. There are plenty of musical ditties throughout and you really expect it with every changing of scenes, however it never really signified a dramatic change in mood.
The content of South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut includes an extreme amount of obscenities, violence, nudity, sexual innuendos of which should shock anyone. I think the writers are trying to make several statements about the world as it appears to them and at the same time make it entertaining on a bazaar platform. This is not my kind of entertainment, but everyone has their own preferences.
