violence whether real or not always have an impact . in this film the violence be about as crass a you could ask for . in the great ecstacy the director have successfully demonstrate what extremes of violence people be capable of . but what be the point . the violence look like a mix of noë irreversible and and kubrick clockwork orange . both of which be remarkable film . don not get me wrong and i be not oppose to screen violence at all and i have see some nasty stuff in my film go year and but this film a a whole be totally juvenile . the story be never develop enough to offer any reason for the extreme violence and the rizla paper thin reason we be give for robert demise be his introduction to drug . danny dyer play the character who be partly responsible for robert drug fuel demise and however he be on screen for less than 5 minute . lesley manville be robert unable to cope mum and i be not sure what either of these actor be do in a film of this low caliber . the acting be wooden and the scene in the kitchen with the tv cook and his wife for instance be as painful to watch if not more so than the shock finale who write those dialogue . some of the comment the boy make . look like she enjoy it be so trite a to tempt one to laugh if it be not for clay ardent desire to bombard u with harrow image of mutilated female genitals . why we need to be show such detail possibly down to the director adolescent obsession with sadistic pornographic imagery . one can only wonder at this young man psychology . the political meaning of the film be repeatedly bring to our attention due to the amount of scene while in the bar and outside the tv cook house and war in iraq report and be perhaps too obvious in my opinion . yes and war be violent and social determinism cause frustration and be all prone to horrifingly violent act whether youre in politics or on the street pop e. juxtapose all these thing a part of the same underlying issue be evade the actual issue which be the meaning of violence in man . this issue be one that we still haven not manage to grasp and certainly not in this film . my opinion represent derivative and badly make and pointless .
