| | The Coen bros are the kings of moviemaking absurdism! Such is the above film. An extremely funny send up of the lies and deceits that are all to common in the Washington DC culture. The film features a great cast...especially an uproarious performance from Brad Pitt (!). This may be the funniest (as in laugh out loud) Coen Brothers film and is most definitely the funniest movie I have seen all year. The scene where Brad Pitt and John Malkovich are talking in the car is a riot!
"Growing up oftentimes means that imperfection and weakness and evil are all part of the human condition as much as joy and happiness and good are...It's not pessimism. One of the things I am always trying to reject is a false choice between blind optimism and despair and cynicism. What I at least am always after is a hardheaded realism that does not extinguish hope." -Barack Obama as quoted by Newsweek editor in chief Jon Meacham. Newsweek, July 14th, 2008, pg. 28 |
