God Bless America is a
movie that features a man who initially out of frustration of his life, killed someone and from there turned into a serial killer, and went on a rampage with the aid of a
16-year-old. That the makers actually thought it was a good idea to make a man
look so insecure and unsure of what he wants to do with his life, that all it
took was an adolescent to turn him loco, goes over my head.
The movie focuses on the irony of life, where chaos and bad behavior are
supported and political ambitions and personal gain triumph over truth and
people’s lives. The movie also showed the flaws in reality TV shows, where
people would rather give up all they have, down to their dignity, to be on TV
for their 15-minute fame. The point or lesson the movie is trying to deliver, I
get. The reason for making it, I don’t. But I do have to say, it made me laugh
and I did not regret watching.
What I enjoyed in the movie was what he did at the cinema. It is what a
lot of faithful cinema-goers have been dreaming of doing for years to those
filthy people who just won’t keep their mouths hot in the cinema.
It is obvious from the locations and production that this was a cheap
movie to make. Not much work went into it. The flaws in the scripting become
obvious as you continue to watch, and the movie’s cinematography is painful to
the eyes.
The story is simple. Frank is terminally ill and sick of the way people
get away with making others feel down. So he embarks on a mission to rid
society of its most repellent citizens. He makes an unlikely accomplice, Roxy,
a 16-year-old psychopath.
Well, the acting wasn’t so spectacular. It was a little too stick-like
for my taste. I mostly enjoyed the girl (Tara Lynne Barr), as she did well in
her portrayal of a psycho. I believe the director and the writer could have
done a better job at the ending. Going down fighting is not as fun as they made
it look, as they made the protagonist anti-hero go down fighting stupid.
Well, as all B-movies go, 5 out of 10 are worth seeing. This is somewhat
like that. Whether it is worth seeing or not is something you have to decide on
your own. From my opinion, it is not a must-see, so watch at your own risk.
