Well, isn't 12 ANGRY MEN itself self-important for trying to make that whole point that you gotta have guts to buck the system and peer pressure to do the right thing?
A great film mind you, but just food for thought.

A great film mind you, but just food for thought. Just for being a conservative/liberal/whatever message movie? I don't think so, but the case could be made, sure. I never claimed those films aren't self-important. I don't think they are though. My opinion is that Reservoir Dogs is not particularly self-important or smug, and that the claim that all directorial debuts are self-important and smug is nonsense. Actually, I think those qualities only usually come after someone's been told they're important. |

Kill Bill, Vol. 1 is the first, and so far only movie, that made my stomache actually turn but in a way that I loved it. Like when you drive over a smooth bump in the road and are airborn for a little while. A little rollercoaster. Has there ever been such a woman captured and developed on screen that blew me away as much as Uma Thurman's Bride? No woman. No man. No thing.
