Review of Funny Games (1997) by Chris E — 03 Sep 2011

Paul: We're not up to feature film length yet. .

Warning: Explicit content coming.

You know what? Fuck this movie and fuck Michael Haneke. You are a giant fucking pussy. Oh you don't like movies that show violence as being "cool" or "funny." Nobody gives a shit. Your annoying piece of shit film is a testament to tedious, annoying, in your face, manipulative garbage. I absolutely hated this movie, but I figure you have guessed that by now. .

This film takes its message to such an annoying level that I can't believe I was able to sit through the whole thing. Haneke is so pretentious that he even felt to remake the movie in English with big names like Naomi Watts and Tim Roth. We sit through winks at the camera and the annoying as hell villains talking about what the audience is expecting. Haneke continues to hit you over the head with his self righteous bullshit. .

Now to move on to the plot. For being labeled a sadistic, disturbing horror film; it's surprisingly dull. First off, it's in no way disturbing or scary. The director is too big a pussy to make it disturbing or scary. Two annoying villains take a family of three over and "torture them physically and mentally" or at least that's what I've been told. To me it's just some skinny fuck calling his partner "Fatty" and then Fatty replying, "Quit calling me Fatty" with a whimper. It's violence is offscreen as Haneke obviously wants all movies to do. .

One more time for good measure... Fuck You Michael Haneke!!
