Our Southland Tales Motion Picture Critique

This would be Southland Tales such as Tales from Southern California

, however another type of California, in which Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) is really an action super star turned prophet, Justin Timberlake is really a veteran of Iraq, Sean William Scott is in reality a pair of twins, along with Sarah Michelle Gellar is actually a adult movie star referred to as Krysta Now. "No-one rocks like Krysta Now." Or so we are told. You never really see her and she is more than welcome.

Even so the motion picture does not try to pander to the type of audience who wish to see a flash. In fact, it doesn't pander to anybody. It is in no way and away essentially the most experimental motion picture to come out of Hollywood in recent times, if you discount David Lynch.

To begin with, the motion picture version of Southland Tales is in fact chapters four, five and six. Hey if Star Wars did it... The initial three chapters are found in the Southland Tales graphic novel, which actually makes more sense in itself and of the film in general, explaining the variety of concepts behind the motion picture, whereas the motion picture itself drops the viewers in the middle of a world which is far removed from the one we live in.

There's wi-fi energy referred to as Fluid Karma, a screenplay written while intoxicated by drugs that foretells the End Of Days, and some freaky time travelling. So, everything you would expect from the brains behind Donnie Darko.

The motion picture is really a mess, however an appealing one. The main disconnected plot is concerned with the enigma that is the Book Of Revelations within the Bible, and you also could view this as its modern motion picture counterpart. Some view Revelations as a puzzle to be solved, that contains a code to be dissected. Richard Kelly's movie is trying to push this, using the graphic novel and the film's website to further the tale and the puzzling plotlines within, quite literally forcing the audience to actively seek it out, or, as many people did, walk out of the movie house.

Although this cross-media, story/puzzle thing is a daring move, the movie should stand on its own legs, which, sadly, it doesn't. It is strange and fantastic, irritating and infuriating, littered with excellent performances and godawful ones. It'll without doubt follow Darko in becoming a cult film, particularly on DVD.
