FILMS IN A FRESH LIGHT

Postmodernbarney has written up a bunch of "uncomfortable plot summaries" for movies and television shows.

Nice idea. A few of my favourites - THE GOONIES: Physically abused, retarded man finds love with overweight pre-teen. ROCKY: White man beats black man. ROAD HOUSE: Bouncer becomes vigilante, murders local businessman with karate.

Since blockbusters have been covered here are a few of my suggestions for world cinema - OLD BOY: Korean drunk sleeps with daughter. Eats own tongue as apology. DOWNFALL: Elderly man and his friends driven to suicide by incessant bombing. 2 DAYS IN PARIS: Jewish humour no match for French bombast. ONG BAK: Thai bumpkin upset by city folks' cultural insensitivity. Beats them to death with knees and elbows. PLATFORM: Chinese dance troupe do nothing.
