earlier today i get into an argument on why so many people complain about modern film in which i encounter a curious statement represent the character development in new movie just isn not nearly as good or interesting a it use to be . depend on the film ( s ) in question and this can be attribute to a number of thing and sometimes generic special effect and plot driven hollywood garbage like war of the world and but in the case of over the top and uninteresting attempt at social commentary and a desperate struggle to put art back into cinema and it movie like dog day that be to blame . i normally have a very high tolerance for movie and no matter how dull or pointless i find them ( range from good and long one like andrei rublev and dogville and to one i have consider painful to sit through a la alpha dog and wild wild west ) . i shut this movie off 45 minute in and which be 30 minute more than i actually should have . i wasn not interested in any of the character whatsoever and find nothing substantial beyond a thin veil of unfocused pessimism . in an attempt to say something about the dreg of society and this film too easily fall into be self indulgent and trite and and exploitative in a very sincere sense . grant and i have see many disturb movie on the same subject and but there be so many good film out there about depress and pathetic people ( happiness and gummo and kid and salo and storytelling and irreversible ) that actually contain character of great emotional depth and personality . dog day have none more than an eighth grader distaste for society and choose to ignore any true intelligence about the way people actually be and and instead choose to be a dull and awful and and hopelessly unoriginal attempt at a work of art . this isn not a characterization of the unknown or a clever observation into the dreg of society and it just bore and nothing worth care about .
