I've just see this movie and i'm very impressed by amount of work Jonathan Caouette put into this movie. I made a profile to put this comment. I have few points of positive view for this movie.
For those who don't know how to make real movie not just a youtube shot from mobile phone. As you can see there are materials from long speech or clips from other movies he made. To make it all you need camera, hundreds hours of recorded moments to go through, choose, put in the order, cut, put sound.. Remember that when he was making this movie was not the era of 500GB hard drives and broadband internet. He had to take this heavy camera everywhere.
I really liked this movie. You don't have to like it, but you should appreciate effort. Recording movie against that kind of weird reality and totally broken family. And paying for this, storing tapes, experimenting with camera. He spend a lot of money on it while he could just be passive and probably lost himself in drugs or die. During movie i was like: my god this is the worst kind of life back kick you may got.
I'm also European and I think this is something what could be made only in USA. You have so many positive freaks who will spend half of life with project just for them which are great. And you also are the only country with that kind of freak environment. What kind of worst pathology is this family? How many people like those are in your country? Who can have any kind of drug that easy? Who would believe in treatment like those for grandma, this is a plant not human. This is horrible.. And a positive ones. You are probably the only country where some total freak can leave Texas and go to new york sell his talents even if are completely out of mind. And make that kind of movie.
Thanks for that.
I think also there will be next era in cinema or entertainment. Now you have camera and camcorders in every mobile phone, gear is so cheap. Make movies like this. Hundrets of millions people - there is lots of weird lifes .
