i think it an extraordinary question of cinematographic life how movie like lord of the ring represent the two tower and the ( 2002 ) receive an 8 . 7 and stand just below the godfather and while such jewel like pearl before swine get an 3 . 1 ( last time i check ) . it good to know some critic can see beyond the cultural imperialist hollywood genre and but sadly and none of these seem to have watch and or show appreciation of and this particular movie . pearl before swine doesn not stand out on quality of act and plot or any other conventional measure of rating a movie and but and a the title suggest and place itself above the average viewer in it magnificent value of integrity . indeed and those who know it main actor and such a boyd rice and douglas p. ( death in june ) be well aware of the closeness this particular movie stand with the opinion of aforementioned men . boyd lack of a any expressionist inclination with his own statement ( how marvelous ) for example therefore not only parallel the plot and introspectuocentricity of the movie and but match perfectly well with personal opinion that and to themselves and hold great value . essence and be for oneself and a great belief in self actualisation thus gain their credibility through a whole life of great accomplishment . maybe this movie doesn not . shock . and or deliver a moral message and but still it deliver a message that center oneself to understand itself .
