Flogging Margaret (2008)
The 2nd Best Movie Ever
Yeah, it was awesome. Low budget but who wants to see the same old Hollywood trash that we slug to the theater for year after year.
Unique, this one is.
One of the descriptions describes the comedy as crude. Is life not bare bones, raw, and crude. Are all funny things people say in real life when they're angry about something (particularly romantic strife) perfectly scripted? NO! You get mad at your significant other and just blurt out the most hurtful (or often sick) thing that pops into your red-faced, rageful, human mind. Afterwords you may think of the perfect comeback, but NEVER at the time of the fight. And this movie portrays this (in)humanity perfectly. Raw reality is what I dig in a comedic drama; any movie for that matter.
I guess that's why I like this movie second only to Mr. Assirans' first foray into the movie making business, 'Gorno.' A must see!
