john water ( pink flamingo . ) pecker be the best movie i have see in a while . it give the viewer a surreal image of life in baltimore ( i live in nearby washington and dc ) and with a warhol like use of color and exaggerated motion and emotion . pecker become large than his town can handle and and he be separate from his love one ( include a sexy ricci ) by his man love art manager . the picture leave a refreshing taste in my mouth kind of like a fresh strawberry ice cream on a hot summer day and though this taste be rather flat and simplistic and it only make the whole thing more profound and critical . it be a celebration of life and liberty and and the right to bear arm . and everything else this country stand for . juan pieczanski ( jpieczanski @ sidwell . edu ) .
