What the heck is this about?


Does anyone know what this movie is about? Plot? Anyone?

synopsis: Young Sergio lives in a shabby room and spends his free time scouring garbage dumps and engaging in anonymous sex. But when he meets young motorcyclist Joao, he becomes obsessed, and goes to extreme lengths to get Joao's attention.

I wish that was what it was about.

seeing as she is guy richie's wife and she is employing many of the actors he has in the past. probably something similar to his films.

Would you say the same if Steven Spielberg directed it? I don't think so. Just wait and SEE the result before judging.

Visit the bio. of the man credited with writing "Filth and Wisdom" and that might give you a clue as to what potential the film has.

It's about a guy from Kazakhstan who interviews people on the streets and expresses his feelings about Western culture. Oh wait... that's Borat....

Got it confused with this one.

Eugene Hutz's genuine accent is similar to the faux-accent of Borat!

I saw the movie and couldn't really tell you what is was about, besides Madonna's ego...

IF YOU ARE EXPECTING TO SEE A GUY RITCHIE FILM, DON'T GO!!!

reply

It's about Eugene Hutz being really hot. Watch it for that and nothing else. Thank you, Madonna!

reply

Yes, Eugene is hot and that's what really matters. He's AK in the movie, a guy who has a band and makes a living as a dominatrix, dressing as a lady, among other things Madonna would like to do.

Three years later, lol, and I'm going to try and explain this movie.

Basically it is about having to do dirty *beep* in order to...do good? Accomplish your dreams? I don't know, something stupid like that. I can't word it right.

Eugene plays AK, a guy who was abused as a child and became a dominatrix, who lives with two girls, Juliette and Holly, who both do dirty *beep* too.

Juliette takes some mysterious pills she smuggles from her job as a pharmacist and wants to go down to Africa to help the starving children. Holly wants to be a ballerina, I think, and is convinced by AK to become a stripper. I guess uh...her "goal" is really to just be a good stripper. The *beep*? lol. Then there is the guy who is a poet, can't remember his name at the moment, and he gets upset because this one guy was one prizes and he can't even read his own books. So he throws a fit until AK saves the day by singing "his poem," 'My Strange Uncles from Abroad.' Oh yeah, everyone gets what they want. The end.

Very deep, isn't it? /sarcasm

Everyone accent in this movie was so thick I could barley understand them.
