calius 0 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12...-premieres.html Oh how the public will complain and the divide will become greater in opinion, Chris Morris is superb at Satire, this wont be something to skip over that's for sure. And remember, before any knee jerk reactions, its SATIRE. LOL ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rocky 1,224 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I saw a clip of this show on Youtube. I did find it a bit funny, but to me this isn't really a subject for humour, I don't think I'll be watching it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calius 0 Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Fair comment I guess, and i'm sure that's the initial reaction to it from a lot I would imagine. The way I see it is, we make comedy of all manner of subjects and these things happens (not directly in the scenario depicted), plus you have the hype machine media trying to suggest this is going to happen any moment any time over in the UK which is totally false. Also bear in mind they arrest people under the new laws and hardly any have "done" anything (and look incapable of it too) .. so I think Chris Morris has summed this up in a complete p*ss take of the whole situation. And I think its welcomed. If you found it funny then why not watch it, its not going to jump out and harm you in any way, we watch horrors depicting people being cut up and torchured for no good reason, we watch 24 that shows torchure for answers, we watch films that use torchure within it for all manner of reason especially action movies and we watch war films, I doubt this film actually does any of that in an explicit way. Its mainly about people trying it and bumbling the whole thing. Just swap comedy bank robbery gone wrong movie, with the subject matter of the latest news headlines. The rest is the brainwash media mind game that makes people "react" to it, yet we don't with any films that actually are violent and blatantly violent in its content and graphic, ultimately its still humans being killed or hurt in those types of films and in some of them thats its whole purpose, wheres this one its not.
