Review of This Filthy Earth (2001) by Robert S — 09 Oct 2017

Rock solid enough to make a few points that need to be made.

For anyone who has ever suffered incalculable human nature or hazard of misfortune, hindsight makes this movie work like a glistening gem that, on closer inspection, may appear like a window pane.

Does a good job of portraying flaws that overlap beast & human habit alike. Many times, characters were IMHO credible.

I didn't want to get lost in the tight-knit spirit that occupies roughly the first half of the film, seeing as it's not of the ambiance accessibly universal. But it seems to offer an appreciable contrast toward any consideration of the hopeful spirit of human nature to choose selectively against all that has been known before so as to improve fate for any whose redemption is not off the map insensible.

Although offensive likely to some, I think the title relates guiding spirit for weathering makes human truth and offer hope of reflection. I think it's not impossible that the film may help vital spirit to grow, so don't expect entertainment: don't expect its direction to welcome you in and lift you up on pretense, of false hopes of glamorous protagonist escapades, just wait and see how this story develops. This was a tough, gritty walk on the ugly side of what anyone must bear; and a vault of an exercise in using whatever hindsight you might have to get down with those ingracious dance moves that we oft get too set up to answer to by those whom be always telling us what we all wish to hear.

I tend to had gotten a little critical of one specific thing: that although the director does the equivalent of showing you that ignorance has settled in to some endemic fact of community, omitted were enough address of naivety of these people. Athough, if you look, you can probably credit it to the first aspersion going on in the film, the very fact that by assigning trait to another person proudly proclaims its absence. In this manner, human blindness never looked so mutually-exclusive.

Fluid action and interaction occurs quite a bit through this film to establish an almost organic flow.

Perhaps this film isn't perfection, but I found challenge in its message and each instance of reason that grazed me was not a disappointment in this sort of literate, e'en coherent story.
