Review of Brain Smasher... A Love Story (1993) by Daniel D — 02 Oct 2007

Truly a gem found @ my local thrift store for 2.99 and I must say money well spent. On the surface this movie seems rather hollow and mundane but upon closer inspection we find the story of a man and his fight over communism.

The dice man shows a wide array of acting seemingly altering between rays of rocky and guy's from the Jersey Shore. Like all great heroes, we find that the dice man is good at what he does and shows a fierce exterior yet we later find his marshmellow center when we meet his parents and find the hart felt relationship he has with them when he asks them for money.

Teri hatcher give one of her famous im still hot because i'm under 30 performances and serves for some unintenionally funny comedy like when she sneaks into the night club and the dice man tracks her down only to find a hoard of the masses doing the thriller to some pink floyd knock off.

But back to the trimph over communism and how the symbols of the movie represent more than they seem and how the lotus represents all that we are urged to find and that is power. Power of course being shown by money and the struggle between east and west and the balanced equation that if not kept can cause people to implode like the guy from big trouble in little china.

In the end we find that the lotus is too much for any person to have and while our differences are great we learn that ninja's, bouncer's, and even supermodel's have there place in the battle for our nations economy.
