SIX SHOOOOTERS

Ha! Dark comedy. What a weird film this was. I mean I really can't say I enjoyed it. I felt like a bit of a sadist laughing at all the completely obscure things happening. I feel like this film sort of broke conventions in the way that all these rather somber things happened - such as death and suicide and murder - most people cringe at the sight of any of this. I think people typically watch movies to escape their lives and so to a degree I feel as if most would not want to be watching other peoples lives fall apart. But maybe that's because I'm more of a happy ending kind of girl. I thought the implementation of the serial killer cursing repetitively was quite fitting. It enhanced his air of "I don't give a shit." I sort of felt obligated to laugh at certain elements of this film, certain things that I feel a bit uncomfortable about but ended up laughing anyway because of the way it was introduced as a comedy. I thought the ending was particularly awful in nature, but from a philosophical stand point the ending was powerful. The main character in this film is Donnelly, he is also the only character in this movie with an actual name. After all the death that goes on around him he attempts suicide. First he kills his rabbit, then himself, but the gun fails him. I think this pretty much indicates that he was destined to live, despite what he wanted. The end is left for much open interpretation. All in all I didn't enjoy this film, but it was sort of interesting.
