God Bless America (B+)

First off, I give props to Bobcat Goldthwait for having the courage to make a movie that was so over the top and non-PC that I was literally amazed it wasn't banned.  It reminded me of how the world must have felt similar shock when Pink Flamingos first came out, where instead of a story about perverted white trash it was about a dude that wants to kill anyone and everything to do with pop culture (and does).  As I watched I just couldn't believe that this movie didn't stir up more criticism from the general populace for making light of spree killers and demented whacko's.   Strangely I sympathized with the main character's issues with society and several scenes definitely gave me anxiety, Bobcat did a good job of over-emphasizing what pushed Frank (main character)'s buttons and ultimately made him lose it.  

The opening scene...wow (see pic below).  Wasn't ready for that.  Seriously considered not watching the rest of the movie if that's what it was going to be like.  But as I kept watching I started understanding the tone of the movie and the things that made him want to go nuts on a daily basis, so I became interested to see how this would end.  It ended up bloody, with a crazy body count.  Random killings, spree killings, imagined killings, etc.  But this movie had one thing going for it that other violent movies didn't have (e.g. Rampage), it had a good script.  The dialogue between Frank and his little sidekick was entertaining, and the killings seemed less senseless if you understood why they were going insane. 

A B+ instead of an A because it wasn't very realistic.  Sure there's lots of whacko's out there in the news everyday that flip out, but not a dude and a 15yr old girl that just keep going, crime after crime and not getting caught.  It's like there were no police on their tail, no witnesses or evidence that would get them caught?  Not likely.  But in the end it was still a good flick, very original and didn't hold back.  I'll probably be on the FBI watch list now for watching and commenting on this movie, oh well.  I still recommend watching it.  I could watch it again whereas I don't think I can ever watch Pink Flamingos again.
