Review of The Last of England (1987) by John B — 08 Sep 2009

So yeah, I'm not going lie, I wanted to see this movie because it had Tilda in and I'm a bit fan because I think she's hot. X^D.

I do like artsy and strange surreal films in general, but the pacing of this particular movie was very slow. I know this was supposed to be the commentary of the director's vision of England under Thatcher's rule, but that's not what I got out of it. It seemed to me like a vision of a post-apocalyptic England if the Germans had won instead of the Allies during WWII. That's how I saw it anyways. *shrugs.* I was kinda let down by the last scene . . . thought we'd see some naked Tilda. X^D Favorite scenes in order: 1: guy frotting Carravagio painting 2: terrorists(?) frotting on Union Jack. I just like frott, not the offensive nature of sex on England's flag, so don't get me wrong. X^DDD 3: probably the guy dancing with the horns and tutu; a distant 4: would be Tilda's scenes just because she was in them ;^).

All in all this movie was pretty depressing, which I also liked. I still think the pacing was too slow though so and some of the imagery too disjointed so I gave it 2 1/2 stars. I just can't imagine England was that bad under Margaret Thatcher's rule . . . X^D I mean seriously. Was it???
