Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
tedg At least it has a story, a sort of fable: a loser is employed as a gargoyle model. He grows a lump on the top of his ugly head that has a handsome face. He hides his real face and his life turns around, even Chauncey Gardener-wise becomes president. And not just president, but one that people admire, listen to and follow. (You might say: here's a drunk and crack addict who finds God.)But because he still is a dummy, his vice president and advisers talk him into all sorts of crazy things that get him and them in trouble. Its a fable for our time.Its animated using paper cutouts, similar to South Park, but with more detail. It doesn't quite work for me. I think its because the drawings (and photos) on the cutouts have to have some relevance to how they are used. The medium has to have some harmony among its components; if it doesn't, the tension carries meaning and the meaning has to be something we can reach somehow. This is disintegrated with no purpose, except that it can be done.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
LeRoyMarko Poor George is ugly and unattractive. He even scares pigeons away! By Jove, his only job is to be a model for a gargoyle sculptor! And when he's still a kid, he finds his mother in the arms of another kid! But, one day, a lump appears on his head. The lump becomes a second head, a beautiful one. With this new look, his life changes overnight. He becomes a successful politician. But his colleagues are corrupted and their actions are enticing the people to do the revolution. Poor George is sentenced to death by guillotine. But guess what! He's got a second head, his old one. And he goes back to being the ugly George that he was before. Interesting animation with those heads that appear to be taken from a magazine. The song is funny and well chosen.Seen in Sudbury, on December 31st, 2002. And twice again, at home, in Toronto, on December 31st, 2004.83/100 (***)
mklitzka I'm all for projects in arts by all people, but this defies all natural ability and reason to even do something. I think 2nd graders could make a better short film involving their Elmers glue and sparkles then what this was. And to think more then 1 person actually worked on this, guess it was a group effort to make it bad.
plok253 I'm probably the only one who cares to watch O Canada on Cartoon Network. This is one of the first cartoons I saw on the show, and the song from this toon has been stuck in my head ever since. It's quite a creative animated musical in which an unpopular man grows a lump on his head that looks like a Greek figure. He pretends this is his head, and he becomes much more popular. However, later the lump ends up getting him into trouble. I'll never forget the one part at the beginning that went like "If he ever asked out a woman, she would nearly call a cop!" Worth watching.
