[@masonallen3961]

Todd in the Shadows said in his review of Swept Away, that in the original it was obvious that Wertmuller was trying to troll her audience. That's why there was so much misogyny and the "hero" was so awful to his "love interest". It was supposed to shock and disturb the audience. I personally don't agree with that directing philosophy but I can understand what she was going for.

To me Raffaella looked relieved when the chopper took her away. Gennarino ends up all alone, divorced and empty-handed, and even his "trusted friend" the sea betrays him. I honestly love watching his misery at the end. He was terrible.

ECN didn’t have a good story, but at least it had *A* story. MOD, on the other hand, barely qualifies as a movie. It felt more like a series of sketches and sequences strung together with no rhyme or reason. Not to mention the fact that it’s only 72 minutes long, and the last eight minutes are padded with outtakes and deleted scenes.

A League of their own is a classic due to the ensemble cast, not so much Madonna. If Madonna has been cast in the roles played by Geena Davis or Lori Petty, it definitely would not have been well regarded.

[@vins1979]

About the original Swept Away: nope, it's not a 'product of its time'. The whole point is that neither Raffaella nor Gennarino are supposed to be 'sympathetic characters'. They are both horrible. The fact that, under some social circumstances, blue collar Gennarino is a 'victim of capitalism' does not mean that he is inherently a good person. Lina Wertmüller's cinema is full of morally questionable and ambiguous characters. The original Swept Away really makes the viewer question many assumption. In the end, it is not even clear whether Raffaella really falls in love with Gennarino, or whether she was manipulating him in order to survive. Unfortunately, nowadays viewers seek answers, not questions. They want the 'good people' vs. the 'bad people', the heroes vs. the villain, all nicely tied up by 'storytelling'. Such a shame.

italian here. Besides forgiving you for your italian, i'm here to explain a bit of context for the original movie. Italy has always had a big north vs south cultural clash. You can pretty much take every stereotype about blacks in american and it's pretty much the same thing here, but in italy it's so deep rooted that the third most voted party is the secessionist party (imagine trump, but even more overtly a white supremacist). But also yeah, southern italians tend to have darker skin (or they tan really fast). And southern italy is very close to africa.

As a French speaking person that talks a tongue that is close to Italian and Spanish her calling him a midget makes a lot of sense, especially when you consider the implications and other senses midget has in other languages, and his own reaction to it.

[@ErinPrimette]

Ok, my fanfiction mind is giving me an idea on how to revamp the original Swept Away and make it far less problematic. In my revamp, the woman lead would be a daughter of a rich libertarian capitalist who she strongly disagrees with when it comes to politics. The male lead would be a working class black man (most likely from African descent) who just has a job of working at the yacht. When the leads do get stranded, they figure out they should set aside whatever disputes they had and work as a team in order to survive being stranded on the deserted island. Better yet, the leads treat each other with respect and as equals, especially when they learn about the things they have in common. When the leads do get rescued, they get together for real, and they really have no former husbands or wives to get back to. And of course I'm a sucker for these kinds of interracial romances.

[@gracekim1998]

They honestly could have done that with the remake 😅

[@thesapphireone]

That sounds like a really interesting, heartfelt, and entertaining story, you go on and make it come true!

[@maryvampiregirl666]

i would watch that lmao

[@vitorafmonteiro]

I think the original is not an issue of "of its time" as much of misguided progressivism that should be taken as a cautionary tale for current progressive artists and critics. As I like to say, intersectionaliting is hard and it is not easy to juggle different political issues without "dropping the ball" on one of them. Sure the original does a good job on class and ideological issues but REALLY "drops the ball" on gender issues, even with a woman and feminist director, and the simple script choice of the rich brat being a woman makes the whole thing have some awkward vibes, and the fact the class warfare angle is so aggressive (which from a socialist point of view probably seemed like a good idea to the director) only makes the unintended sexist angle meaner. There's a lesson in there that aggressive satire may not be helpful sometimes and that you have to think through how your politically charged flick is approaching several issues and never be comfortable that just because you belong to x under privileged gender or racial group that you may not do a negative work even against your own group. There's a lesson to be had there. In defense of the remake on the "black midget" thing, even in the original calling the male lead that was less about Southern Italians being darker and considered less white by their Northerner country-people and more one of those situations in which the insult used tells us more about the insulter than the insultee. It tells us that the Madonna character is a racist, ableist b*tch to the point of using racial and disability categories as insults even to people who don't belong to those categories. Sean arguing if an American in 2002 would categorise the guy as black or a midget is like hearing someone use gay as an insult and react with a "But that guy is actually straight!"; it is not about if the insultee is gay or not, it is about the insulter considering that gay can be used to just mean "bad" or "lame".

[@CrissyRed]

I really loved this movie

[@Asahamana]

I don't know if anyone cares but if you've seen the animated Asterix movie called the Big Fight then you might know the composer: Michael Colombier. If you want to hear a good song from that movie google Zonked. Sadly this movie Swept Away was he's final movie to compose music for, since he passed away in 2004. Don't feel too sad: He also composed the music for such "classics" as the Golden child and Barb wire.

12:48 Madonna's an OK singer at best.

[@Mogwai-fy7ut]

Her voice may not be amazing, but she can still sing on-key!

[@TomMSTie1138]

Jeez, the original Italian version of Swept Away looks like an Indie Film version of the Torgo/Margaret relationship in MANOS THE HANDS OF FATE.

[@psycher7]

A League of Their Own was great. I don't particularly like baseball or baseball movies, Geena Davis is VERY hit or miss, and this was right about when Tom Hanks was transitioning from comedies to drama. Not a promising mix, and yet it worked. Snatch might be my favorite caper movie ever.

[@catfoy8888]

Your forty? I have to agree with you your like the Paul Rudd of KZbin reviewers

[@user-account-not-found]

Gonna be great Saturday night!

[@brianjordan3841]

Sounds fairly similar to that certain horror movie involving a murder in a shower scene that many people have considered a iconic film only to b given a piss poor remake

[@masonallen3961]

I've been waiting so long for this.

[@pushon10]

3:33 is that the guy from Casino Royale

[@1997residente]

Yes, Giancarlo Giannini who played Rene Mathis in Casino Royale.

[@troyschulz2318]

Yeah, and a thousand other things. Giancarlo Giannini is insanely prolific, he's like an Italian Michael Caine.

Which is the worst movie of 2003: Gigil The Cat in the Hat Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle Form Justin to Kelly The Real Cancun

[@michaelstrong5383]

Gigli No contest

[@kyliethelittlespider-mangirl94]

Gigil, Cat in The Hat and From Justin To Kelly are my worst picks Never saw the other two you mentioned.

[@kingamoeboid3887]

Can’t say because I’ve only seen Cat In The Hat but if I did I would’ve said Gigli.

[@VideoDuffelBag]

I can't speak for Gigli since I've yet to see it but the other four were insufferable.

[@christmashake8968]

Oof. That’s a DAMN good question. In any case, I would argue that, pound-for-pound, 2003 was probably THE most stacked/competitive year for “bad” movies the Razzies have ever had, with the possible exception of 1987. ALL of those nominees (and a fair few others that didn’t make the cut) could be argued to have a strong case for taking the trophy home, albeit for wildly different reasons.

[@stevenkranowski5141]

Aw man, the Razzies ignored Ballistic? For shame, man, for SHAME!

[@JBiggsofWSNC]

You should make episode about 'Body of Evidence.'

[@GabyGeorge1996]

Was that intro/warning a Take That at the Snyder Cut of Justice League?

[@tristanhartup4936]

Because he's one of those who conplained about the 4:3 aspect ratio even though there was a clear understandable reason for it.

[@AnAverageGoblin]

every famous performer seems to be "pushing boundaries" every couple of years. like the recent drama of that edgelord who tried claiming he was the first one to be blatantly sexual with his work.

[@alishastephenson1437]

Who might this edgelord be?

[@AnAverageGoblin]

@@alishastephenson1437 Not sure what his name or stagename is, but its part of the Nike logo thing going on.

[@ginnrollins211]

Are you referring to Lil Nas X?

[@AnAverageGoblin]

@@ginnrollins211 Probably? I don't care enough about this crap to remember dumb names.

[@alishastephenson1437]

@@AnAverageGoblin It was him. Wow, he's really out there trying to say he started something by being blatantly sexual?

[@masonallen3961]

It really sucks that Ritchie didn't have any creativity when making this movie because I can think of some creative ways he could've changed things up from the original. For example why not explore the cultural differences between Amber and Giuseppe. I'm pretty sure a rich American capitalist would be shocked to find out that communism is a somewhat accepted political ideology in Italy with several members of the Communist Party serving in parliament.

[@zoisite_moon2828]

So Madonna’s playing a rich Karen?

[@SacredFire777]

Yes. She played herself.
