So I have to admit I was one of those people who saw the teaser trailer for "Kick Ass" and thought it would be so stupid. After processing it for a few hours I've got to say that It was much better than I expected and I think it said some very interesting things.
First of all, aesthetically WOW. Loved it. And it was written with a very unique style so it some fun humorous moments.
But what I mainly wanted to make sure I got down was that, overall the film was more satire than parody in that. On top of that there seemed to be an overall meaning that we are distracted by being entertained and so we miss the real issue that we are seeing because we so absorbed in the flashiness. And then if someone calls us out on it we try and deny it and run away.
How about trying to do good for your fellow man? I'm not talking vigilante justice, I'm talking caring when things happen to people and doing what you can to help make their lives right.
It was visually stunning, and surprisingly thought provoking. Though there are a few scenes I would rather the flim didn't have, I would recommend it.
