The Pervert's Guide to Ideology review

Posted : 8 years, 8 months ago on 30 June 2014 02:43 (A review of The Pervert's Guide to Ideology)

Zizek basically wants to show how "ideologies" manipulate our psychologies. He mentions nazism and stalinism, but his basic targets are capitalism and "consumerism". He mostly uses examples from Hollywood films. The psychological jargon is as impressive as it should be, but the messages are pretty shallow. He concludes by lamenting the failures of the Russian, Cuban and Chinese revolutions and by advocating further radical action, which will "redeem also the past failed revolutions". In the supposedly funny after credits scene, he shows again his prophetic moral superiority. Could somebody tell me who is blinded by semi-religious ideology here?

Mean Streets review

Stupid characters, silly place, nothing happens. (Listal says "Review must be at least 100 characters long", but the movie doesn't deserve it bla bla bla bla bla bla)

The Guard review

Posted : 10 years, 7 months ago on 25 August 2012 01:29 (A review of The Guard)

This movie is hard to describe: it's like a good western (an ambiguous hero which reveals its virtue in an extreme situation), but with bizarre humor and a dose of surreal.
