THE LEGEND OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE HUNTER review



 ABRAHAM LINCOLN PRESENTS the Slayer
The director of "The legend of the vampire hunter" is said to exclusive Film.it

ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE HUNTER review
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
19/06/2012 - Pierpaolo Festival
"The peculiar thing is that Timur he is constantly striving to find a new way to film an action sequence. Trying to bow out the characters, killing them as was never done before." Word of Benjamin Walker in "THE LEGEND OF THE VAMPIRE HUNTER" interprets as Abraham Lincoln that has been deleted from the Italian title.


THE LEGEND OF THE VAMPIRE HUNTER - THE TRAILER


It is hard to forget one of the last sequences of "Wanted", Angelina Jolie when they take out half a dozen characters using the same bullet. It's been four years since that movie and Timur Bekmambetov has just completed a new adventure: his journey in American history, including presidents who want to change the face of a country and vampires who want to enslave it. "I always try to find a logical key in all that we can film it" - the director tells us when we call in his hotel suite in New York on the day when his new collaboration with producer TIM BURTON is presented to the press.

"The legend of the vampire hunter" makes a reverse process compared to films like "The Dark Knight." If with the costumed heroes of Nolan will always try to go on a real plane, in your film is part of reality and were close to the supernatural...
The secret is to base everything on the humor and practical problems with which the audience could identify. Then I had to find the right actor.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE HUNTER review

Why, then, choose a relatively unknown actor for a role this big?
Because I wanted to make a film about Abraham Lincoln. Not by Tom Hanks who played Lincoln. I wanted the audience was distracted and not really believed it. That's why I preferred to take an actor too famous. Anyway, Ben was born for this role. He says no, he's Lincoln!



The original title of "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" is a bit 'that mix of genres so dear to Tim Burton. What was your first reaction when you were offered this bizarre movie called?
Actually I was already thinking about a movie like this with a historical figure who fought against the vampires. At some point I have sent the book by Seth Grahame-Smith. As if it was raining from the sky. I think that the involvement of Tim Burton was a logical thing. And mine too. I love the story. I also have a childlike quality: I love to destroy things...

With Tim Burton have already produced the animated film "9". How did you become friends? As you have worked together on the set?
Tim has always been an icon for me. We met by chance: we have the same agent. I would say that I made this film for him. In the sense that the manufacturer for me is like the viewer, so my job is to entertain. Tim was my bridge of communication with the audience.

A Russian in Hollywood facing a historic American figure like Lincoln. How much pressure did you feel after beating the first shooting?
No pressure. The truth? Americans deal with everything and do it every day. Why, then, a Russian-Kazakh cannot make a film about one of their presidents? Rather than tell the figure of an American president, I wanted to show one of the myths that changed the world. Everyone can be inspired by him.


Use to turn it into a political hero Slayer. The film comes at a time when politicians are seen as the first vampire. If ambientassi today, would you change the perspective?
Absolutely not. Politicians may be vampires or vampire hunters. You cannot escape this thing. But I think, as you will see with Lincoln, behind every great man is concealing a big secret. My vampires are a social metaphor: they are men who want to organize the world around fears. They want to control in this way. Today it is still true. Lincoln thought just the opposite: he thought the free world and the choice that you can have forever. This great idea has convinced me to do the film.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE HUNTER review
ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE HUNTER

You beat time on Spielberg. He too has made a film of "Lincoln." Has there ever been a face to face?
Not really. Missavamo the film in the same study. But we never met.

The big question of Film.it. Did you have any posters in your room when you were a kid?
At the time it was impossible to find posters. But there was a movie theater near my house. I went out on the street and remained staring at those posters. There were two a week, both designed by one artist. And the nice thing is that it was of Italian films. I remember 'Amarcord' by Fellini. Scola and Bertolucci's films. And that movie changed my life: 'Dillinger is dead' by Marco Ferreri. At the time I was studying engineering. After seeing that movie I dropped everything and decided what to do. In a way this movie was released.

"Prometheus", the origins of man Scott and his anti-blockbuster "Avatar"




Prometheus
Prometheus
Late May of 2009, was brought the news that Ridley Scott and Tony were going to resurrect the Alien franchise. The direction of this new film, a prequel, was initially assigned by the two brothers Scott Carl Rinsch, but Fox chose to take two months after the same Ridley, because the study only the name of the latter could restore life to 'interest of fans, went to the continued operation of the dying franchise.
The prequel will consist of two parts, currently untitled, which will both be filmed in 3D and will be set in 2085, 30 years before the events of Alien. The two films will reveal the identity of the giant alien unknown, the Space Jockey, fossilized in the chain of command of the ship derelict accessed by the crew of the Nostromo in Alien beginning. In the novels written by Alan Dean Foster's Alien, the Space Jockey is described as a noble race, bigger, stronger and smarter than humans, but no word yet on whether this feature will remain in the two films.

In late July, Damon Lindelof (Lost) has been hired to rewrite the script of the first film, the end of work in mid-October. The studio thinks he can get a PG-13 rating since it does not appear in the movie sex scenes and the language used is not too foul. Even in this script were described scenes of violence outside the rooms, taking the style of the original film of 1979.
Prometheus

Scott suggested that Zeta Reticuli 2, the same system found in Alien, will have a much more prominent role in two films, and he added that will be analyzed in depth the ideas about terraforming - or take the planets, planetoids and balls of land and try to reclaim land and inseminarlo to allow a future life - and the conditions that led humanity to leave Earth for another planet. The process of terraforming, which will be used to make other planets habitable for humans, will be led by the Weyland Corporation, which merged the company with the Yutani Corporation and formed the Weyland-Yutani Corp., which created the corporate so many problems in the Alien series.

As for the original design of the creatures of HR Giger, Scott thinks they are now strausati and would like to collaborate with the artist to create something totally different.
In mid-January 2011, the 20th Century Fox has announced that the film will be called Prometheus and will star actress Noomi Rapace (Men Who Hate Women) in the role of Elizabeth Shaw. Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie are circulating other roles called "Vickers".

The story, first established as a prequel to the movie Alien hands of Jon Spaith, was subsequently re-drafted last year by Scott and Lindelof. Although Allen has been the starting point of the project, the writers have created a mythology and a much larger universe in which we can recognize elements of the DNA of aliens that are not present in this film.

Prometheus
Scott reveals that he cut the film in order to avoid vm -18 and not to lose about 80 million at the box office. He also admitted that the film will be released in the extended version, unrated or director's cut, the extended scenes are included in the menu, apart.

"Rock of Ages" theatrical release hard, harder, Tom Cruise


Rock of Ages
Rock of Ages
Tom Cruise fans are likely to rub their eyes bewildered: The way in his new film "Rock of Ages" you have not seen the Hollywood star.

His new film, "Rock of Ages" n is Tom Cruise ("Mission: Impossible"), a as muscular as greasy as unpleasant as charismatic rock star, who because of his drinking can hardly stand on his legs.

Based on an eponymous Broadway musical director Adam Shankman tells ("Hairspray"), the story of Sherrie and Drew, who seek their fortune in Los Angeles in the 1980s. In addition to country singer Julianne Hough ("Burlesque") and film debutant Diego Boneta, performers like Alec Baldwin are ("The Departed"), Paul Giamatti ("Sideways") and Catherine Zeta-Jones ("Chicago") with it.

Rock of Ages
Rock of Ages
Sherrie (Hough) is what we call small-town-girl in the USA. From a small town in Oklahoma, it draws the pretty blonde who grew up with her grandmother, the glamorous Los Angeles, where she wants to start as a singer. At the Sunset Strip, she meets Drew, who is in a bar would be happy and enjoy rock star. He found her a job in the "Bourbon Room". There, club boss Dennis (Baldwin) to do just for him: Announced is the last concert of the band "Arsenal" Stacee Jaxx with front man (Cruise).

Musical adaptation promises great entertainment
While many in Hollywood can hardly wait for this event, then divided into resistance: Patricia Whitmore (Zeta-Jones), wife of the mayor, concerned mothers rallying around him who want the immoral activities of the hard rockers put an end. Zeta-Jones plays the role with verve, often wearing a bright red costume. She has to settle a score to settle with Stacee Jaxx, the irresistible womanizer.

Tom Cruise is wonderful in the role of the tattooed rocker: black-painted finger nails, fur coat and a greasy mane. At his side he has a little monkey who must give him the whiskey. Stacee Jaxx is always surrounded by half-naked groupies. Cruise proves the courage to ridicule; his exalted poses are really entertaining.

Equally convincing is the ironic play by Alec Baldwin. Baldwin completed helped Tarter bar owners oscillates between a cartoon and a pitiful figure. Hough (2011 dance movie "Footloose" to see), there cannot always keep up.

Hard rock and metal fans will get their money: Great Hits by Def Leppard, Poison, Twisted Sister, Whitesnake, Foreigner, Joan Jett, or be given almost without ceasing for the best. Part is it hysterical, as when Cruise sings "I Want to Know What Love is" or if Baldwin begins to sing. Not least to the bizarre costumes and neon colors in the worst possible 80s-style entertainment. "Nothing 'But a Good Time" promises "Rock of Ages" in the subtitle. The musical adaptation redeemed their promise.

Snow White and the legend of the hunter



Snow White and the Huntsman


Snow White and the Huntsman

SYNOPSIS: In the epic action-adventure "Snow White and the legend of the hunter ', Kristen Stewart (Twilight) plays the only woman who surpasses in beauty the evil queen (Oscar winner Charlize Theron) decided to destroy at all costs. But the perfidious sovereign ignores a hunter (Chris Hemsworth, Thor) whose mission was to kill her, has taught the young to defend themselves. Sam Clafin ('Pirates of the Caribbean: Stranger Tides') joins the cast as the prince enchanted by the beauty and power of Snow White.

REVIEW: Nightmare of eternal beauty

'' Now is the perfect time to have a child,'' he says over and over a friend who until recently was still living in Shanghai. The reason for this unbridled passion to swell due to birth in his native China this is the year of the dragon, ergo every child conceived in this period will be born with the qualities of the mythological creature, which in the future surely will, among other things, to win their blood and fire purposes. An interesting perspective at least. In the West should not liking ourselves to vulgar and demeaning matched animals (can you imagine what would have been portrayed a banker to be born in the Year of the Pig?), so we take the look to something more ours: the totems of the culture popular.

See Snow White. I do not know if at the end of this academic year I will get me the hell out the equally damn law school (yes, right, what?), But rest assured that I am seriously pondering the Ministry of Education show my movie tickets This season for me to trade them for a nice certificate with the signature of the royal family, which shows that the bearer of this slip is a master in the work of the Brothers Grimm ... or at least more than accredited expert in the versions that Hollywood has given us of it along this year.

Snow White and the Huntsman
Snow White and the Huntsman
For if 1998 was the year the ant ('Ants' and 'Bugs' good fairy gave it) and five years later could be appointed that year as the fish (in this case,' Shark Tale 'against' Finding Nemo ', another round of exciting and hyper-morbid pugilistic combat Katzenberg vs. Eisner), 2012 can be rightly White year. With memories of 'Snow White (Mirror, Mirror)', always interesting recent work of Tarsem Singh, still fresh in memory, and with little time to finish digesting the choice of Julia Roberts acertadísima as wicked witch who refuses to give up her throne of beauty - what caught? - hits screens around the world another adaptation of the same story, the latter, with real intentions and possibilities, to make his mark at the box office.



To do this, nothing better than a more than generous budget and a stellar cast (made after numerous dropouts) capable of pulling crowds to the theater. To ensure that this luxury cruise to a successful conclusion, the captain comes in. Rupert Sanders. '' What the Bleep who you are!?'' Said Pedro Rodriguez Cristiano Ronaldo during one of the many tanganas produced along a famous classic. The Barca player canary did not answer, perhaps because of the speed with which everything happened, but the truth is that the Portuguese gave unwittingly pass a real death. '' I am the player who just brands you a goal,'' the FC Barcelona should have responded, as sometimes, the facts speak for themselves, and are the best introduction.

Rupert Sanders, aware of this, know that you need is to put some ground from the beginning, all simple task, especially considering that the film has two very serious errors of base. First, why the hell should worry the gorgeous Charlize Theron leaving as the most beautiful of the kingdom when its main rival in this competition is the soda of Kristen Stewart? It is not known. Second, and without moving the interpretive section, the ever-changing designs of the star system requires us to share the ride with that Stewart, an actress, to call in some way, which, judging by his face, everything gives disgust ... or perhaps a terrible feeling of drowsiness. It is not known. The fact is that under the weight of his sleepy eyes, the queen, the dwarf, the Hunter and the Prince is reduced to little more than garbage.

In fact, done to the cause with the services of this project emerged from the infamous star saga conceived by Stephanie Meyer is the same to hire Sarah Jessica Parker to star in a brazen defense as outer beauty as were the equally infamous adaptations to the big screen TV 'Sex and the City'. This is called a decision counter. Regardless of these handicaps, we said that Rupert Sanders gets down to work immediately, getting to his film debut, a surprising start, vigorous, and taking into account the rules of the game, almost perfect.

The'' Once upon a time ...'' de rigueur acquires a dark tone that plunges us into a Gothic nightmare as beautiful as terrifying. This combination of qualities is distilled fuel that feeds this fairy tale reinvented for an era that, for better or for worse, made the complexity, in every way, one of its major hallmarks. Far left and the Disney classic in which a young woman with hair black as coal, sang cheerful songs with animals of the forest and some nice miners. For some reason, the simplicity of the story by the Brothers Grimm (who happened to be one of its main attractions) is no longer an attractive, so that you choose to throw the product at a depth in which the director and his troupe have just lost.



And they do it this way forward, unless you are very well marked, and is not the case, betrays both the spirit of Grimm, as to any product whose alleged purpose should be to serve the entertainment. This is where questions arise as uncomfortable Was it necessary to make the feint of entering the psychology of evil-and-true star of the feature to end up doing so simplistic a picture of it? Was it necessary to go from healthy to an epic adventure as caught by the hair? And the most important of all, was it necessary to have us over two hours sitting in the chair? Of course, the answer is a resounding'' no.''

A pity, because what promised to be a blockbuster memorable, and slightly different from what we used to,'' has just become simpler times'' and goofy summer kills. However, this nasty taste in the mouth should not forget that when we actually proposed it, 'Snow White and the legend of the hunter' is a film that plays his cards very well. In this sense, the ace winner is in the aesthetic power of an author in his commercial work (notably the ads developed for Microsoft's gaming platform) had already shown signs of knowing how to make an impact in the retina of the hearing.

Snow White and the Huntsman
Snow White and the Huntsman
Solidísimo setting a base camp in a great production design, at times a very successful score composed by James Newton Howard dutiful always, and in various pop icons (the recent appreciation of medieval fantasy, thanks mostly to the fantastic duo George RR Martin & HBO, or the immortal world of Count Dracula, for example), Sanders is dedicated to what he does best. This is a baroque visual display rather than a craving tiresome (not ridiculously ornate, as in the sister aesthetically 'The Tempest', Shakespeare desastrillo noisy at the hands of Julie Taymor), hits (as in all occurrences of the Queen Ravenna) and dazzles in the most inspired moments, and the presentation of the dwarf panda (hopefully Peter Jackson has taken note ahead of 'The Hobbit'), the first visit and creepy dark forest, or the sequences full of life, in which even seems that we are witnessing the miracle of seeing materialize the dreams to share with us the master Hayao Miyazaki in his brilliant 'Princess Mononoke'.
Snow White and the Huntsman

But you know, the dreams of eternal youth are just that: dreams nightmares become poisonous when faced with something so extremely ugly as reality. As with the magic mirror, the power is both a reflection of the insecurities of an author with extraordinary potential but it still looks too tied up, either by the anti-authorial system, either by their own fears at the time of risk altogether. Anyway, 'Snow White and the legend of the hunter' is an interesting kick off the summer popcorn season, led by a young prince something green in the arts that have been assigned, but points to become, in a more or less distant, a serious candidate for the most beautiful of his kingdom.

On a new life: A group of British retirees migrate to India. In the catalog they look for the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel in Bangalore. Here is her wish for a luxurious retirement for very little money. But the palace of his best time has long past. Does the group still firmly on her dream?


Criticism

It's never too late to seek a new beginning once again. This may be trivial message is the main thrust of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. A group of sprightly retiree moves to a supposed luxury age division, not realizing that the flophouse where they land, the heart project of an Indian young entrepreneur who would make the dump your own luxury home for cash joyful retirees. Ironically, sometimes macabre until fluffy and light and to slightly sad, a film that reflects the spectrum of life, perhaps seen too much through rose-colored glasses.

Departments for OAPs are booming. Modern Senior likes the extravagant, and in the autumn of life many a retiree experiences a new spring. Seemingly gone are the days when old age homes for unloved old people were better custodial facilities. Somewhere between these two extremes, a small group of retirees in a more true than another exotic resort in India, which has its best days long behind him - or maybe even never experienced that?

The grounds on which these pensioners have decided to spend their last years calculated in a run-down store, which advertises itself as a slightly pretentious "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" is very different. Many a more agile oldies music holds in the supposed pensioners' paradise to a good game on the lookout, a former judge returns to the place of his childhood and youth, in search of someone he left behind 40 years ago, what his life he seriously regretted; A lady looking after the death of her husband find their own new beginning, a couple can be in England at the age make only a very modest abode, and hopes in India more luxurious to live, and another queen is the only reason there to her hip to have surgery for a fraction of the cost to make, it would cost in England.

Director John Madden (Shakespeare in Love) rounds up an impressive (old) star ensemble to stage a touching tragicomedy as cordial. Dame Judi Dench, Bill Nighy and Tom Wilkinson are a few of the better known names of screen veterans. Young people bring freshness in the film, however, Dev Patel, star of Slumdog Millionaire. The fine line between drama and comedy works well over long distances, the first half is staged with less ease than with a dose of black and macabre humor. Just typically British. What is not so well succeed, the balance of individual destinies. Not all stories are equally interesting. This reduces some characters to running gags, rattling down the incessant platitude her to loosen up the plot.

Among them is certainly also the part that Maggie Smith (Sister Act) holds. As grumpy Englishwoman who is closed to all foreigners and dark-skinned people from the ground up distrusts, nevertheless it includes some of the most vicious punch lines in the movie. Really stands out, however, are Judi Dench and perhaps even to some degree been more Tom Wilkinson (The Full Monty - The Full Monty) feature, the film character with a bitter-sweet note, and the sentimental journey back to the beginning of a special flair and a touch of mystery there.

Men in Black 3 The alien hunters lightning recently again: Will Smith arrived in the sixties, to save the young Agent Kay.

Agent J and Agent K, better known as the "Men in Black" come back in action after "Boris the Beast" has escaped from his prison moon. When K disappears suddenly learns of J O boss that his partner is dead for 40 years. The J cannot accept this so easily and decides to travel back to 1969. The Apollo 11 flight is nearing; Andy Warhol worked undercover in his factory for the MIB. Now it is set right again in the future, while J finds out that his buddy has some very well-kept secrets (te).




Criticism

"Same Planet - New Scum" is the motto in Barry Sonnenfeld's fast-paced 3D sci-fi sequel, which goes to Will Smith as Agent J on time travel.

For ten years she had disappeared into oblivion - the infamous alien hunter with its chic tailored suits and dark sunglasses. High time for a return to the earth from the scum again to rid the universe. In the director's chair again the relevant pre-loaded Barry Sonnenfeld has taken place and this time set in terms of spectacular high-tech entertainment new standards. Some 100 (goo) aliens created again by the legendary Rick Baker, there to gaze at, lightning quick unicycles, and next guest star Lady Gaga, the shapely ex-Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, in the opener in Christian Louboutin boots - the with a red zipper in the back - for the liberation of "Boris the Beast" teeters.

A time travel movie in perfect 3D, which is struggling with the paradoxes inherent in the nature, the (sub) genre. The screenplay by Lowell Cunningham's comic on which David Koepp ("Spider-Man") has co-written, like, thanks to well-developed scenes has, as a whole but to those logic gaps that we know of the "Terminator" adventures ago. As with the previous two hits is also looking "Men in Black 3" in terms of production design, makeup and special effects like him. Cool retro-futuristic look and design in perfect harmony; the animation technique is the amount of time and the science-fiction movies of the fifties, paid tribute with a wink. Andy Warhol "outs" in his factory as a man who works undercover for the title-giving government authority, Pitbull sings "Back in Time" and the Rolling Stones' hit song "2000 Light Years From Home" provides for the proper Sixties feel.



Sonnenfeld routinely unspooled alien fun is featuring dry spells, perfectly timed slapstick, fast-paced action sequences. A highlight is the finale at Cape Canaveral, sound and sound design as a formal press in the theater seats, the stunts are Bond-worthy game of Smith and relaxed and very Brolin. In addition to the overwhelming show values ​​and the well discordant star leaves the chilled out Emma Thompson as MIB boss Oh - here is a "magical nanny" the sexy kind - a lasting impression and the performances by Michael Stuhlbarg ("A Serious Man") as an alien Griffin, A futuristic "White Rabbit" in the tradition of Lewis Carroll ("Alice in Wonderland"), killed by its absurdity. In short, a successful, fast and elegantly filmed mounted reboot with blockbuster potential. The Men in Black adamantly oppose her retirement.

On the screens Hafez Aladdin aka the Dictator, the new Sacha Baron Cohen's character unpresentable

After "Borat" and "Bruno," Sacha Baron Cohen-change decreases in the autocratic role of the supreme leader of the state of North African Wadiya. A new, zany satire directed by Larry Charles, who spares no barbs to "democratic" America

"It is outrageous to call the dictator!" Said the admiral general indignation oozing Hafez Aladdin (Sacha Baron Cohen), indemocraticamente elected supreme leader of the state of North African Wadiya, which also boasts the title of chief ophthalmologist, invincible, triumphantly, loved oppressor of his people, good swimmer, even butterfly. Unfortunately for him, the UN is preparing to hit him with a shower of penalties (and perhaps missiles), so Aladdin is persuaded by his uncle Tamir (Ben Kingsley), head of the secret police, to come to New York to explain their reasons before the UN Security Council.

In fact, Tamir seeks to replace his nephew with a double decerebrato Wadiya and then sell the oil companies in exchange for a villa on Lake Como, next, states, that of George Clooney. Aladdin survives an assassination attempt, but he finds himself wandering alone in his underwear and without his distinctive beard through the streets of the Big Apple. Here is rescued by Zoey (Anna Faris), the holder of an alternative bio store, which, while completely failing in the attempt to inculcate a minimum of democratic culture (actually, Aladdin the reorganization of the store like a micro-dictatorship, becoming the " Supreme grocer "), will eventually turn the loving spark in him, causing him to reconsider, if not its questionable principles, at least its priorities ...

Directed by Larry Charles, former director of Borat and Bruno, and on Italian screens from 15 June [in a censored version. When an escort tells Aladdin "Gotta go, I'm sorry," he says, "It remains to snuggle?" and her "No, I have an appointment with the Italian Prime Minister". ed], The Dictator see-change actor and writer Sacha Baron Cohen into the shoes of a new, awkward, insane character, epitomized the nth power of the despots of our time (not coincidentally, the film opens on a provocative "In Loving memory "whose subject is the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il). Aladdin misrepresent it a popularity that defies the laws of percentages ("polls say that 112 percent of the population adores me"), indulges in a delusional cult of his person, exhibits taste and tacky megalomaniacs, and sexuality macho and child the latter expressed the Freudian obsessive desire to possess weapons of mass destruction, not surprisingly, wants his super missile bankruptcy forms as much as possible and, of course, very, very big.


If the title and subject of the film may recall The Great Dictator by Charlie Chaplin (although, even here we encounter a "double" the tyrant), it should be noted that the satire is much less delicate: as Borat and Bruno, comedy Cohen does not save anything to the viewer as to details of excretory and urogenital order, bringing it dangerously close to the threshold of tolerance.


That said, the film lacks neither sensitivity nor genuinely funny moments. The dictator, for example, appears in all its solitude without suffering when, after a spirited (and handsomely paid) night with Megan Fox (playing himself), he was seen hanging yet another, melancholic photographic proof of his prowess sterile sexual immense wall papered with Polaroid’s of the same tenor. Hilarious, however, the scene where Aladdin complains of having to sleep in his own palace Osama bin Laden (the true, accurate, not the impersonator killed by the Americans): "Try to go into the bathroom after Osama", says almost hysterical, "and you will discover what really is terrorism. "


The reference to the various North African and Middle Eastern tyrants and despots is explicit, but there vitriolic barbs to "democratic" America. Like when Aladdin candidly says that only in a dictatorship you can make one percent of the population owns three-quarters of the wealth of a country, the impression is that, compared with sharks of multinational corporations, the dictator is only Wadiya a simple-minded obsession with sex.

And, ultimately, the film seems to suggest that Aladdin is that the face rougher, and unpresentable good-for-nothing of the dictatorship, which makes it unrecognizable elsewhere under the respectable guise of democracy. Which leads to the inevitable question: is there really democracy?
