The approach is uncompromising and demands a willingness to give a little with your perspective in order to understand and internalize. It's done from a young viewpoint its creators obviously don't much like or trust people over 39. I wonder how many old farts my age will really get this movie. And, if you don't like it, pass it on to someone else.Īn offbeat, political, counterculture rock opera
I doubt we'd have the base we do if there wasn't something to like about this movie. The fans are a world of thier own, and there are shadowcasts forming everywhere to spread this movie to new people. "turned this house into a tomb" became "turned this house into a zoo", "I can't read" and a line that provided the name of a song being mis-subtitled are a few exaples. If you turn to them trying to catch a part, you may well end up with a completely different message. The only real issues I have had with the movie is that sometimes it repeats itself (where one line of dialogue may have covered it) and that the subtitles are TERRIBLE. I really can't get too in-depth about most of the plot without giving it away.
The plot is definately that of an opera: Love triangles, revenge, lies, murder, pampered heirs and a sheltered girl, all set to music. It's a goth rock opera set in the not-too-distant future. This definately fits in with all of those. I had originally seen this movie because of a recommendation on netflix, Let's just say I watch a lot of musicals and horror, with a bit of intrest in cult classics. Then again, I'm an odd person and I accept that this film is not for everyone.
