An experiment

Rating: 1/10 (21 January 2005)

Here's a experiment to you all: Take two nights off. Tell your partner that you are going to do an experiment in the name of film. Get some food in and and stock up on the beer. First night: watch U-571. In surround sound if possible with the volume turned up real loud. Good film? Not bad? Filled a couple of hours? Nice explosions? Impressive visuals? Did you feel that they were in real danger? Or was there that little voice in your head that told you whatever situation our heroes got into, they'd find some way out and they'd all come home safe and sound? They had to- they're American. Second night: watch Das Boot. Also in surround sound. With the volume turned up real loud. And remember that this film was out way before U-571. Now tell me which one you enjoyed most. My hypothesis is this: Anyone under the age of 12 will have had more fun on their first night. Evrybody else will have seen sense. U-571 is an insult to cinema.
