IGN a pu voir 20 minutes du film Postal. Pour les cinéphiles, ça s’annonce catastrophique. En revanche, ça pourrait être plutôt drôle à regarder : les précédents films d’Uwe Boll avaient tous un excellent potentiel comique (quoiqu’involontaire). Celui-ci semble assumer son côté gore, violent, scato et drôle. Miam.
It attacks nearly everything Americans — well, everyone — holds sacred. Whereas other films have tiptoed around 9/11 and school shootings, Postal plays them off as humorous. Many hold to the philosophy that nothing is off limits in comedy, but there do seem to be exceptions to the rule, and the aforementioned topics fall into that category.
The footage we saw was punctuated by bloody ultra-violence and shocking imagery. An overhead shot of bloody children laying in a schoolyard was perhaps the most shocking. But Americans may react even more strongly to the depiction of Bin Laden, who is played as a media manipulator who rips off one-liners about the attacks on the towers. Is America ready for broad jokes about national tragedy?
Un film qui se moque de Ben Laden, du 11 septembre, du massacre de Columbine et de probablement plein d’autres trucs ? Filez-moi une place !
