One of my new favorite films.


What can be said about this movie?
Many things.
Many, many great things.

I stumbled upon in the most unlikely manner. I am subscribed to a person on YouTube by the name of Toby Turner. One of the things he does is do "literal parodies" of trailers and one of these trailers was for the mocumentary "RAGE". I was instantly intrigued for it showed Jude Law as a tranny supermodel by the name of Minx, and looking hella fine, might I add. So I did my research. I am so glad I did. I had never really heard of it until today, but better late than never.

Armed with a stellar cast, "RAGE" was released last year as the first ever film to debut on cell phones worldwide. It is Sally Potter's gripping story told in the point of view of each member of a New York fashion team in a series of interviews. A student, Michelangelo, reveals the secrets of this teams attempts to put on a successful show. Attempts are almost futile as protesters cry out for change in the outsourcing of jobs to China. This protest has devastating effects. Two models are killed, a riot breaks out, and as you watch, you can not help but be heartbroken and devastated. It is as if these people were speaking directly to you and you can see and feel all their pain. For once, it feels real. I say that because that's rare. Even movies that are based on real events feel more like fiction than what actually happened. "RAGE" is pure fiction, but I feel like it's actually happening as I watch it. I absolutely love that feeling. It's engaging and allows the viewer to connect on a more intimate level with the characters and the story.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this film, but I don't want to spoil it too much for you. It's something that everyone should see.
Link will be posted :D

So go watch it now! Even if just to see Jude Law play a transvestite... And Eddie Izzard play someone slightly normal (Ironic, eh?).

Goodnight :D
