Maybe it's not the entire world that needs to adjust to his films, but vice versa...
(Update by Simon) Can you tell we just watched the new Alexander DVD? It's not
even an actual movie. It's people screaming with hallucinations and CGI purple tree leaves from
eighty different eras, all randomly edited together without any two scenes in chronological order, and without any
coherent events to tie history's various screamings-while-covered-in-mud together.
See this?
This is the entire film, only picture this shot edited with fifty-nine images of gorgons, other people screaming,
the Mansquito, and orgies from Caligula spliced into the shot. Now do that for one million other scenes
just like it, and you'll understand the brilliance that is Alexander. If you have any doubts as to lack
of sanity enjoyed by the film and its director, enjoy this exchange from
an
interview with Oliver Stone for the movie:
UGO: What did Colin bring to the role; why did you cast him?
OLIVER: ...and JFK was a deconstruction of the Warren Commission,
it was not a political statement.
If you look at it, it's got "suppose, if, could" all the way through.
It's based on the suppositional, and I've really taken an ugly rap in this country.
NATO's official policy of handing film cameras to people too insane to realize where they are, has apparently
been enforced outside of Uwe Boll's native Germany.
