Too many fools, too many projections


This film is one of a few prime candidates for being mistreated.
All over IMDB there are these sinister little, absolutely not intellectual, parasites. When will far more people allow films to escape their expectations, (read moronic projections). People, baby steps. I project too, that is very human. "Are these animals, aliens, is that planet earth? . . ." BUT HOW FANTASTIC that the film will not deliver what I may have already started imagining, shock horror, my mummy of a film won't give me what I am wanting from it. SICK PEOPLE!
You are bad lovers, I won't even say "I guess" or "you must be" - YOU ARE BAD LOVERS. You are mean and most likely, projecting without any conscience. You are stupid and a danger to the environment and people around you. This film is NOT!
It is rich. It enriches.
I have seen many hundreds of good or great films, and only in the last year or two or three. This film was a fantastic surprise, a gift whose wrapping kept unfolding, more and more, the people becoming more beautiful as their horror deepened. The humour, more absurd and funnier. I could not pick a fantasy that better echoes, so truthfully, life experience, as Nuovomondo does. Even if all facts happened to be wrong, you certainly shouldn't fix this film in historical context - of course it's incredibly relevant today.
AND did I say how incredibly funny it could be.
And many other fine things I could mention but I've run out of late night, early morning, steam.
Just let some things be magic, silly. Don't let post modernity turn you into another dissector of everything that's good.
PS. something I rarely do - I read an interview with the Director, bless him. He said the valid thing that many things are supposed to be mysteries, but gave away this generous piece when asked why the statue of liberty wasn't shown / seen:
"They never see it because they never properly arrive in the USA".
BRAVO. Beautiful.
If the (somewhat obvious, still) allegories don't appease your feeble mind, ruminate on that, whether you arrived or not. (Don't call me Coolio - I don't wanna see you when you get there, if you ever get there).
