Great Addition In A Small Movie !

elshikh4

That was good indeed as a sarcastic little movie where the new stars of the modern American pop culture have been smartly spoofed. Still the cleverest point this movie added to that subject's history was the hero's loss of language as important evidence of the degeneration between the person and person's mind; whereas language is an intermediary. And how the relationship between the humans and their minds differs according to the level of that intermediary. So imagine a society that has no relationship of that kind at all!

Now all the people is listening to the big nothing, regarding how most of the modern culture's production is presenting nonsense (movies, songs, TV shows, sitcoms.. etc). It became all about entertainment, and by the most trite, inane and vacuous ways. Therefore when somebody sunk under all of that momentum of decadence, they would not be able to polish at least their language - as the medium of communication with their minds - so their thinking, and behaviors, will go down!

So what a world where (Pootie Tang), who talks in hallucination sometimes or muteness other times (his singing at the radio), becomes the very hero, the great artist, and the perfect idol. It's a world with no brain or trying to have one!

At the same year, there was (Josie and the Pussycats - 2001) which confirms so nicely that the modern pop culture aims at making us stupid petty creatures with no consciousness, no thinking but to consume only. So it's not art anymore; it's how to make money fast as the ruler value of that culture or should I say that fallen culture! (Pootie Tang) just says the same in a simple adventure which was not bad at all, only small and needed some concern (the actor of the vapid star mustn't be vapid also for instance!). Though despite some few low points, it's a talented amusing show with an original spoof out of superstars, and something sharp to say which bitterly is that we live the era of (Pootie Tang) and his likes, imitators, wannabes.. So down with the brain, and long live the WATTATA!

score 7/10
