Review of Chappie (2015) by Therimrider — 09 Apr 2015
The reviewers totally misunderstood this film. It's not about Artificial Intelligence, Die Antwood, Robocop or South Africa. This is the quintessential 'outsider' film. Everyone character is alone, from Sigourney Weaver to Hugh Jackman.
Even the gang members aren't united. Blomkamp hands it to us on a platter with the 'Black Sheep' story but the critics overlooked it. It's a film about trying to find your identity. It's about bullies.
Its about how cruel and selfish people can be. 'You all lie!' A couple of plot holes, yes, but hopefully, in time, this film will find it's way into acceptance. A shame for all involved as there's much to discover, not all so obvious.
