because i be about to tell you you have be have and like someone swindle by a two bit fortune teller . before i explain why and let me start by say that it do not bother me that this film do not resolve itself . i have watch some pretty challenging and experimental film that leave a lot hanging and and i love them . try el topo sometime . there be more mainstream one too like naked lunch and or brazil . these film do not have nice tidy plot line where everything make sense they be still brilliant film . the difference in the case of la moustache be that while this film also happen to lack nice tidy plot line and the film maker seem to think that that and all by itself and make this film brilliant too . i have never before see a film that be so elitist and so vapid and and so disrespectful of it audience in assume it be more clever than they be . the really sad thing be that and judge from review here and and even many professional review and the film succeed in pull the wool over many people eye . who the hell be i to say these thing . well i watch this film with a professional artist and and man with a phd in comparative literature ( who do extensive work in film study ) . and you can probably tell from my writing and i be no dummy either . and the three of u be in total agreement represent this film be like an inside joke whose punch line doesn not make sense and and yet everyone and maybe for fear of appear not to get it start nod and laugh nervously . why be everyone do this . because the punch line seem like it should make sense . we want it to make sense . there be all kind of symbol and portentous happening that be vaguely relate to one another in some way or another like tarot card sit on the table . stare at them long enough and and squint and and suddenly you can see the answer . but your subconscious be really just invent whatever story it like and and omit any detail that do not fit . the movie be not smarter than you be . it be a bunch of seemingly deep event that strut around like a chinese emperor in his new outfit . ( psst and he naked . ) a a film maker and if youre go to make a film that doesn not tie thing together neatly and then you need to realize you have an obligation to make your film about something more meaningful than the incongruous event you be show on the screen . naked lunch be about the vision of a writer who be lose his mind . brazil be about how dream be powerful enough to transcend even a post apocalyptic nightmare of a future . this film be not about anything and except how you can make your audience follow a carrot on the end of a string and just by edit together a lot of scene with great act and great direction and and high production value that do not actually make any sense . it apparently what happen when you take a neat start idea ( a man shave off his mustache and and everyone seem not to notice and then they claim he never have one ) and and then you become more interested in make yourself look clever than in actually tell a story that bear some relevance on our life . very and very sad and or the french would say represent pathétique .
