Review of The Civilization of Maxwell Bright (2005) by Kwende M — 15 Aug 2009

Excellent independent film that looks like it was shot on home video, which makes it indie as fuck! Patrick Warburton plays a total male chauvenist pig who orders an Asian mail-order bride because he thinks Asians would be more subserviant and worship him like a god.

He has bad luck with women, the opening scene is him running out onto the street totally naked after suffering a head wound from his girlfriend, also nude, who stabs him in the chest with a garden hoe.

So he gets this Asian chick and all is going well with her until he tears off her clothes in front of his friends during poker night to show them her cunt isn't sideways (it's a popular myth that since Asians' eyes are slanted, their vaginas would be also).

It's a lot of fun watching Warbuton act like a total asshole in this. He figured she was some kind of whore sex slave, but in reality she turns out to have been a nun. It's funny when there's an earthquake and she starts screaming "demons!" The movie takes a sharp turn towards tragedy in the 2nd half, and it turns out to be a beautiful and engaging film.

Highly recommended.
