I...It's OK if you disagree, I welcome all opinions. If you have read my blog at all, you would know that I have loved plenty of films where a drug dealer, killer, pimp, or addict was the protagonist/anti-hero. You would also know that I find most "positive message" films formulaic and ultimately, quite boring.<BR/><BR/>In my world, for me to enjoy a film, it should be well written, thought provoking, or bring something new to the table, even if it's something small. Mr. Untouchable was none of these things in my opinion, which if you don't agree with, I don't know what to tell you. That's why I didn't feel like it warrented a full on review.<BR/><BR/>Btw, I always find it interesting that commenters who say these types of thing are usually "anonymous". How do I know you aren't associated with this film?Invisible Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299734445263175345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526861933315009124.post-1600129512075280702007-10-23T14:46:00.000-07:002007-10-23T14:46:00.000-07:00I totally disagree with everything you said. I thi...I totally disagree with everything you said. I think that the film's strength is that it doesn't take an overt position. I am so board with hearing people say rap music or movies glorify something. Do you think that about fiction films or just documentaries? Why hold them to a different standard?<BR/><BR/>It is lazy commentry. What do you mean? Do you mean that just by talking about a black drug dealer you are glorigying him? Do you really believe anyone who sees this film will want to go out and become a drug dealer - get over yourself. <BR/><BR/>Or perhaps you think that films should only be made about 'positive' black historical figures and if we ignore the rest somehow the ugly past will magically be wiped clean. That is so short sighted. <BR/><BR/>Nicky is a legitimate historical figure (just like Idi Armin in the Last King of Scotland) and you should embrace him and understand him and then maybe you would understand yourself a bit better. That is what I think the film is all about. It's about a man that can't bear to look at it's own reflection and nor it seems can you....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526861933315009124.post-23942508165991433792007-10-19T17:57:00.000-07:002007-10-19T17:57:00.000-07:00I know :-(I know :-(Invisible Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299734445263175345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3526861933315009124.post-53840741695704642392007-10-17T19:59:00.000-07:002007-10-17T19:59:00.000-07:00"European"...LOL!"European"...LOL!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
