| Having watched yet *another* cult classic... |
[Apr. 20th, 2008|04:22 am] |
At the behest of a friend (thanks, Tav!), I have watched 'Boondock Saints.' Mostly because of a certain actor who happens to be my favourite of mine at the moment. (i.e., Willem Dafoe) *creepy fangirl*
Anyway, judging from the preponderance of twincest fic on FF.net, I have, yet *again* ended up enjoying a movie from a *completely* different perspective from most of the other people who watched it.
Translation: Dafoe in drag equals happy Mel. For whatever reason. X3 I don't know why, it was just HOT. *is shot*
I can die a happy Mel. X3
Anyway, completely apart from my fantardedness, something about the movie deeply disturbed me. I'm not entirely sure why, but I think it might be because at the end, the man who was shot was unarmed. Yes, yes, a bizarre reason at best - but it's the only thing I can pinpoint. That, and the ambiguity I feel - is vigilantism right? Is it necessary, in this day and age, when murderers and rapists are often not punished as severely as they should be?
That I have no answers to the questions this movie raises might be the reason that it bothers me so much. It will take thought. |
