*SPOILERS* Can someone please...


Well, a good friend of mine has seen this film and he is madly in love with it. Because my friend and I have the same taste in films, I would like someone to give me a re-cap of what happends in the film and what the film is really. I am not a big fan of Crispin but I don't hate him either, I can stand him....sometimes.




P.S. I don't bother asking my friend.



Thanks^^

The protagonist leaves home, has an adventure, and returns.

CRAZY AS *beep*
I am not joking, as I watched this movie I really really wished I was stoned or drunk because the *beep* in there can be so wrong. Like imagery of Shirley Temple being penetrated vaginally, around 50 snails being killed with salt/smashed, and a guy with cerebral palsy recieving a hand job from a woman in a monkey mask for roughly 10 interspersed minutes of this 72 minute film, and STILL never achieving an erection. I really felt tricked into watching this *beep* Maybe if you really like this stuff going it it could be better but my main problem with the movie is that it RAMBLES. It could have been much shorter, but Crispin's voice is basically a rambling style, as showcased by the fact that when he answered questions after the film he could not answer a simple question for less than ten minutes.
This cost me ten bucks by the way, I watched it last night.

If you are talking about the Milwaukee show, I was there too at the midnight show.
That movie was very strange.
I asked 3 questions after the movie, but my 4th one would have been, "What in the hell was that movie supposed to be about?"

One of its main goals I think was to get you to think of things for yourself instead of being told or shown what things are about like how the media and the news tells us what is going on and why versus what we think is going on and how we use what we know to arrive at our conclusion. Crispin has 3/4's of his cast with down syndrome and said that the movie isn't about people with down syndrome. They just have it. (Sidenote:They're all Caucasian, but he said that he tried to cast interracially, but the interested actor was unable to participate because his/her guardian forbid it.) The slugs are killed by being smashed or covered with salt (Mr. Glover personally doesn't approve killing snails and doesn't hate snails. People eat snails everyday. If people have a problem ((and aren't vegan)think of where your meat comes from the next time you eat pork, chicken, burgers,etc.)). This movie is an art form. Take it as you see it. There's a good amount of action occurring at a cemetery. A male and female with down syndrome make love. ((Crispin said that he was previously approached by a couple with D.S. (who have been together for 8 yrs.)and said that they haven't seen that happen before and appreciate him showing that.)) Shirley Temple wears clothing with a swastika and a riding crop in hand. A baby doll pops up and plays an extremely offensive song on a record player. Female monkeys enter and exit holes and gather watermelons for a naked man born inside a clamshell. Crispin portrays a "devilish" character where he has two women with D.S. and chooses the blonde one over the brunette/raven-haired. A man with misshapen face is beaten up by a "giant" and others with D.S.

Could anything possibly be more vague?
