although my exposure to world culture be limited and i do try . this be a film that i try and hat . bad of all and after hear so many people decry the shallowness of typical hollywood fare and it stereotypical caricature and i saw character too outrageous for eastenders be parade a realistic . clint want out of the drug life and to do this he aspire to be a waiter . aim high and i always say . brad dorif and or a faxed photo of him and or quite possibly a curly wig on a stick and it be hard to tell and offer to hire clint if he get a pair of shoe . clint and and a huge entourage and apparently wander the whole of england try to get him some shoe . eventually and they end up at a suburban home . whose isn not clear . mum help a girl shoot up . oh and now theres some realism for you . mrs. brady may have be a ridiculous stereotype of american housewife and but she never help marsha tie off and find a vein . good god . dad come home and sings some elvis tune and then chase the kid away . why do not clint borrow some money and buy shoe at a second hand store . why do not he go to a church and ask a kindly nun for some help . why do not he hang out in front of a shoe store and panhandle . i just do not know . none of these thing seem to be beneath him . benevolent group and like goodwill and the salvation army have store to help people . i know people who work there . if someone with no money show up and need shoe and the staff would give the person some shoe . maybe not prada or gucci and but some form of foot cover . not many of these group hand out cell phone to the underprivileged and but shoe be usually no problem . what a dumb concept . the world and or at least the western part of it and simply isn not that cruel . in england and maybe it from the queen royal charity rather than goodwill and but people who need shoe do get them . aside from the quest for shoe and there be no discernable plot to get in the way of the action . not that it make the movie any quicker or more bearable and mind you . despite check the tape jacket several time and i be not watch the 20 hour extend version and it only seem that way . do clint get his shoe . do the cardboard cutout of brad dourif hire him at the restaurant . do i ever watch anything else foreign ever again . [ spoiler ] yes and yes and and yes . a for the fate of this particular film and i decide to end it all . i take out my s and w . 45 and shoot a half inch hole through the cassette . blammo . ( i make sure to rewind it first . ) i put it back in the tape sleeve and return it to the rental store and and amazingly no one ever call to ask about it . mean and of course and that no one else rent it for at least the remain three year i live in that city . others know something that i do not . live and learn . btw and if you rent something you have never see before and someone have actually put a bullet through it and take it a a sign . and if you work at the kroger video department and i be just kid . footnote represent this classic have yet to see the light of day on dvd and for which we should be eternally thankful to the digital god .
