I constantly tell my friends
(both of them) that I prefer
any kind of didactic movie stuff
to be served unflinchingly and shamelessly, and right up front. SUPER TYPHOON
was a government-approved film
that was intended to show people not only how good the government was, but how
necessary it is to always do what they say. It's wildly melodramatic, filled with
exaggerated pathos, poor acting, and a lot of patriotism, and righteousness
I loved it! Now don't get me wrong, In a lot of ways, this film is so bad, you could show
it as a parody of disaster movies and nobody would know the difference. But in
it's shameless cheesiness, it was one of the most entertaining and hilarious films
I've seen in a very long time. The government figures in the film are all
extremely righteous. How righteous are they?
Watch this:
Their righteousness is righteous!
I found myself wondering, 'Why don't I hate this Party-approved monstrosity?' And
you know what? I just couldn't. I was laughing too hard. It was so much fun to
watch this stuff, because at the very least it was earnest and it was honest
and open.
They never flinched. They never gave you a wink. They want you to believe that they
believe what they're trying to get you believe (if that makes any sense). It was
awful in a lot of ways, but it was also entertaining as hell, and that's really
all I can ask of any movies anymore.
I bought this film on DVD. Twice. And you should too.
Don't download it. It's a great movie to watch with people, because the laughter
starts from the opening credits and it doesn't stop. There are so many weird little
things in this movie that I would love to tell you about, but I want you to see
them yourself, because they're comic gold. I also don't want to ruin what may be one
of the funniest things you've seen in a very, very long time, and the fact that
you're supposed to take it seriously just makes it that much better. Buy
SUPER TYPHOON. Watch it. You will end up loving this movie, which is what it wants you to
do. You're probably not going to end up loving in the government, which is the
other thing it wants you to, do it but ahhhh, so what?
Who's perfect? Certainly not the people that made this movie. And hey, at least they didn't blame the
typhoon on
Japan.
I want to see this movie,
but I want you to buy it. I know I said it once. I'll say it twice. I'll say it as many godd@mn times as I feel like!
Don't download movies. It stinks. Buy a disc. There's a link in the description below where
you can buy one. There's also a...
