An Answer to Stone’s Natural Born Killers
What a great movie. It’s rather as if Goldthwait has made an answer to Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers by way of Mike Judge’s Office Space. Through the eyes of Joel Murray’s Frank, we see a variety of society’s ills and thankfully, Goldthwait doesn’t dwell on them. To do so would be like gawking at the stupidity when you walk into a Walmart; it’s just going to make you dwell longer at the stupidity on display, and you are still in a Walmart.Instead, we get one of those movies that you either are along with or you aren’t, you get or you don’t. If you get it, you wish that Frank had a few more monologues, if you don’t, you’d think it was advocating random shooting sprees.
Thankfully the script and Murray’s brilliant portrayal of Frank has him as a principled, moral character who has his suicide interrupted by one terrible reality TV show too many. Along the way he teams up with a psychotic schoolgirl. He’s rebelling violently about what society has become, she’s rebelling against what society is.
It isn’t a huge film, without a large budget, but well made. I felt that it worked best compared to Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers, which showed spree killers as celebrities. In God Bless America the characters lament that they haven’t even made the news. But in the end, Stone’s film glories this shallow quest for fame while Goldthwait’s film answers it, showing what happens to America when everyone is unkindly reaching for it.
I really wanted to love it
Instead, I liked it and would gladly watch it again. God Bless America had so much potential. Its first half an hour or so goes as you expect, over the top dark humor with non-stop truth hitting relentless social commentary and then…Roxy walks into the movie. From this point on, unfortunately, without saying much, the movie falls into several paradoxes and loses its focus.At its core, GBA is a good social satire with nonstop commentary on the problems with pop culture and society, but on the same coin, the movie tries so hard that it feels like a rant by an angry liberal rather the good satire it initially set out to be. Furthermore, Roxy becomes one of the characters you want dead as the movie goes and her character, along with her and Frank’s relationship, appears so idealized and forced, that it just affects the movie for the rest of its running time.
The good, however, lies in the great shooting scenes, some of the great commentary made by Frank (most of what Roxy says makes you roll your eyes if not question what in the world the movie was going for), the dark humor, the targets for satire, the over the top story, its entertainment, and overall its a solid 9/10 movie but…
The bad lies in the second act, on Roxy’s faulty and forced character, its endless rants between our two main character that makes you want them to kill themselves as the next person on their killing spree, the people targeted (whats wrong with high fives and country music? When did this movie become about taste rather than appropriate satire part?) and so on…it just bit itself in the tail.
I really wanted to love this movie. I almost did. Instead every time I went to smile and applaud the commentary, something matter of taste or the character discontinuity got in the way…good movie, definitely one everyone should watch, but sadly, for what it could have been and set out to be, very flawed.
