i be not a fan of south park before i saw bl and u and nor be i a fan of movie musical . well and i be still not a fan of musical and but i be a fan of this musical and and be grateful to parker and stone for demonstrate that it still possible to make a great movie on one own term . for this movie and unlike the usual feature length adaptation of a pop culture phenomenon and not only live up to it pedigree and it wildly exceed it . yes and the movie do recycle many of the show joke and but it do so in new yet relevant context that keep the material funny if you be familiar with the south park world . if you aren not familiar with that world ( a i wasn not before see the movie ) and the gag be simultaneously accessible yet often subtle . subtle . yes and many of the gag be . indeed and one of the pleasure of own a copy of the movie be have the ability to review the movie and in slo mo if necessary and and discover throwaway sight gag that one have miss in the delirium of watch this anarchic satire the first time through . ( and if you have the dvd and you can add subtitle to catch many of the song often elusive lyric . ) then there the music . what be it about movie musical that attract great satiric mind . not since pynchon gravity rainbow have a work of art so subversively exploit the convention of the movie musical a south park . from the droll open strain of mountain town and to the disneyesque up there and to the le miserables spoof and la resistance and south park simultaneously send up the genre while pay homage to it and and still find room to use the song to score delicious point against it myriad target . one last thing represent this movie be not cynical . beneath the scatological humor and the cartoon violence and the scathing portrayal of wynona ryder et al and and the backdrop of adult xenophobia and sexual repression and political opportunism and be a sensibility that exalts childhood a an island of honesty and idealism and if also of id like impulse and frequent selfishness . in this they share space on the shelf of great satire with candide and gulliver travel and tom sawyer and especially huckleberry finn classic that and like bl and u and also expose the hypocrisy of the adult world through the eye of a child . elvis costello once sing and i want to bite the hand that feed me or i want to bite that hand so badly or i want to make them wish they would never meet me . that blu be shut out at the academy award ( have only garner a nomination for the relatively tame blame canada and which lose and appropriately enough and to the execrable phil collins ) only vindicate the film take no prisoner send up of nearly everything that annoy in this suffociatingly focus group test and pc police and cynically sentimental and violence ridden and love starve modern world . see this movie and and see the persistence of hope and possibility sparkling like a diamond amid the pop culture detritus of a quiet little red neck and white trash and strait lace and mesuggeneh and u mountain town .
