So today me and my mom were supposed to go and see Micheal Moore's new film "Capitalism: A love story." So I looked up the times for our local movie theater, and it turns out it wasn't even going to be playing there! So we decided to go and see "The Informant!" instead. First of all, let me say I recommend that people go and see this, but you best pay CLOSE attention!
Okay so from here on this blog may contain spoilers,(So if you plan on seeing it, you might want to stop reading!) I don't know what I'm going to say about it yet because I'm still not entirely sure what movie I've just seen.
The Informant was a strange movie that tended to jump from place to place, but to someone who pays attention well, a very funny and somewhat clever film. Half way through the movie I had to stop and remind myself of what I was watching, but all in all, I thought it was good. Now I didn't realize until the end of the movie the REASON why it was so confusing. It turns out in the end pretty much everything he was saying was just all a big fat heap of lies. SO I guess I was supposed to be confused, but I tried to understand throughout the movie so my brain was trying to complete an impossible task. Throughout the movie they played music that sounded like it had been left over from the 70's because they didn't want it anymore. It set the mood in a strange and comedic way that almost made it funnier than any music could have. I think I am going to download the soundtrack just because and put it on my iPod and walk around like I know things. I think when this movie comes out on DVD I'm going to watch it about three times just so I can let it sink into my brain enough.
SOOO
Overall summery and thought this movie left me with:
*Confusion.
*Hilarity.
*More confusion.
*More Hilarity
*Matt Damon looks ridiculous with a mustache!!!
My advice to you if you go and see this movie: Pay attention and listen closely or forgo the whole paying attention part and put the "I'm smart!" act on to fool your friends into thinking that you know EXACTLY whats going in. And in the end say "I knew it the whole time!" Fuck with their minds.
Either that or see it once before them... and then see it again. Call out everything that happens. Like you're psychic!
3.5 out of 5 stars I.M.O.
