Four Eyed Monsters
I know that this movie is the Spout darling but it really just kind of bugged me. Not because I don't think that the filmmakers did a decent job at using and revealing the place that our culture is at right now with the plethora of new and available technology, but almost because of that very reason. I lament that we've come to a place where everyone is essentially forced to have a cell phone. Where I have found myself becoming obsessed with my iPod and shutting everyone else out while I see them doing the same. Where people's identities are based on preconstructed questions and formats presented by myspace. Where the number of available formats of artistic expression are so plentiful that no one can simply concentrate on and enjoy a single one.
In many ways I find myself identifying with thoughts or characters in this movie for a moment only to be lead into a point of view that I find completely frustrating. Basically more often than not I find the movie being negative in ways I see as positive and the other way around.
Also I can be very strict on meta-fiction. It never goes quite far enough.
I'm sure my friend Chuck would like it though. He thinks the movie Schizopolis is brilliant too.
Rating: 4/10
