God Bless America

This is a brilliant premise that not only delivers visually, but audibly, and cerebrally as well. It shows what is wrong with our society in a smash nose fashion, that I would wager the majority of people who watch this film are actually smart enough to recognize a good movie when they see, and therefore are smart enough to realize how bad our society has actually become. Bobcat Goldthwait wrote this unseen gem, and just like his other film, World's Greatest Dad, he delivers what humans have stopped thinking about. Very common societal issues that have somehow become "normal". The way he puts it all down is genius, and though the content is very adult, mass murder and whatnot,  it is very poetic. The opening monologue in itself is one of the best I've heard, and the hero/anti-hero depending on your views of the story, has several really good speeches throughout. When Frank gets the news of a terminal, inoperable brain tumor, he decides enough is enough and his first target is awesome. a "Sweet sixteen" spoiled beyond belief, reality queen who is "mean". This is when he instantly feels better about his soon to end crappy existence, but until one of the now deceased girls classmates stalks him as kind of an innocent "you're my hero", things get awesome. She wants to kill everyone, whereas he just wants to kill people who deserve it. People who are mean. Sure, it is a Dramedy about two mass murderers who, in a strange way, had me rooting for them to wipe out the scum of the Earth and get away with it. It would be a hard film to watch if you have a weak stomach, or hate senseless killing. I really know the reason we are on Frank's side is because of how and why he loses his job. There is no respect, no chivalry, no decency, and no common sense in our world anymore and Frank decides to amend that, and I respect him for it. Balls to the wall, all out, downright delightful extermination of the vermin that occupy our society with no remorse at all. Funny thing is today, one day after watching this film, I realized I would be spared by Frank. I am polite and respectful. So, here is to "the meek shall inherit the Earth" and all that.
