i get that joanna be a sort of candide and an innocent heroine whose adventure be probably mean to give the director an opportunity to comment on aspect of the culture . that she have ( or should have ) this large function be the only thing that could justify the big song and dance at the end and which be suppose to show that joanna transit through the other character life have turn them around and make them see beauty and sweetness and gentleness and other faux hippie dippy nonsense that would have make voltaire scream . joanna might be interest if she be a puzzle and but she be a blank and she can barely be say to have any behavior at all . she be a beautiful rag doll and and your only response when she be mistreat be to hope that get take for grant or slap around ( and her bleating sorrow that follow ) would not mar her feature . in a general way and of course and you hate to see a movie do some of the thing to a character that be do to joanna unless there be some point to be make and and the best point that could be make in this kind of candide story when and for instance and joanna boyfriend philosophize that woman want to be treat rough and then he do just that a i be say and the best point that could be make from this be that this be the way the world be and here be some of the terrible crack expose in the world joanna live in . but no and the movie go along with the troglodyte attitude and joanna respond the way her boyfriend intend she should . all this might still be fun in an archeological kind of way and i. e. and look what pass for social philosophy in the sixty and if there be any energy in the directing and the writing and the music or and bar all that and in more than one or two of the main performance . joanna a dead fish . donald sutherland be even bad and but for such a great actor to put in such a poor performance say a lot about the writing and directing ( be there a dialect coach anywhere . ) and but especially the writing . sutherland part be easily the bad write of a badly write movie . how could it not be . he be mean to exemplify the psychedelic metaphysics of beauty and oneness that the movie make pastel stab at push and and he have to spout all this hooey about it and he be suppose to find it embodiment in that shapely potato and joanna and and then he be suppose to die and which be the best thing he do . do i need to summarize . when i and my co worker start talk movie and nominate the bad movie ever make ( we do spend more time on good movie than bad ) joanna be high on my list .
