Man Bites Dog




Watched this on a spur-of-the-moment the other day. Like Cannibal Holocaust with a black sense of humor. Best thing about it has to be that, even though it was absurd and tongue-in-cheek, it was still a brilliant look into the persona of a sociopath: charming and charismatic 90% of the time, even when he's doing terrible things, but as time goes on, he slowly becomes more and more manipulative. And when something doesn't go his way, all of a sudden his nice guy act stops. Usually a movie about someone like this spends all its time making them look like a creepy monster, and while this one did as well, it's lighter side made him seem a likable and fun guy to be around at the exact same time... you know, unless you're black. Can't say that I loved the movie, but it was definitely a fun watch.

P.S. Thank god for anime subs. If nothing else, they've trained me to be able to watch subtitled movies and not look like a dumb American.
